Yeah. Nah. I'm done with this anime.

Can't be arsed to waste more time on a shit-show that has more loose ends than a bowl of spaghetti.

1. Shiro working as a meatshield. Still dodges bullets even though he's practically invincible.

2. Kuroh watching while protecting the nagging cat.

3. Loads of still scenes.

4. Plot was obvious and unrealistic.

5. I've already seen one anime with a spineless main protagonist. Not seeing another.

6. RIP K: retur- return returnsret utrn

6. Rest in rip anime

6. RIP life

My goodness Munakata got fucking REKT lol.....Mad respect to the Gray King after seeing his skills as well as his backstory

In regards to Fushimi, I always was 50/50 in how I felt about him, and even though he had a point, it really pissed me off to see him decide to fucking join the Green Clan....The man already REKT Munakata with his speech and he went and allowed said salty man to go and make him had and salty -_-

Oh well, next episode is the Seri x Kusanagi moment I was waiting for :D

And I disagree with everyone thinking that Fushimi is being wasted. Yes he's a great fighter but he has a great mind as well and in terms of tactics he's easily the most qualified person for the job and this is exactly how him turning traitor is going to bite this alliance in the ass even more

Brute strength isn't everything that matters in a large scale battle such as this one people

wow, so much disappointment from shiro's plan. i mean, who would expect another king, but at least they should have anticipated that nagare would need a transport and that huge ass hole on the rooftop could've been plugged or someone else should be on the lookout for backups.yukari and sukuna retreating should be suspicious enough to make them think there is something fishy going on. don't tell me they're expecting nagare to storm the builiding, beat them up, took the slate and walked down the street carrying a huge ass stone lol.
and to make it worse, kuro and neko didn't even help. anna tried, shiro stopped being mary poppins but all of it was futile.
the only thing satisfying was munakata getting rekt though i hate it somehow that salty fushimi rage quit. man, i'm starting to like fushimi. and also, mad respect to iwa-san for beating munakata. he's tooo much of an ousama he needs to have a taste of failure.

It was kind of nice to see Munakata say those harsh words to Fushimi, the truth hurts but sometimes you just need to hear it.

Now Fushimi is joining the Green Clan. He needs to stop jumping ship and switching clans every time he gets his feelings hurt.

Overall, their plan was a bust, and Shiro seems quite useless. I'm sure he's a capable fighter but he barely did anything in that fight.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Well... I expected them to steal the slate...

Something that still bothers me, is Yashiro Isana, the First and Silver king... His power is gravity manipulation yet he didn't try and increase the gravity of the slate by something like ten-fold to force the helicopter to crash. I believe he could do at least this much! He comes off as being the weakest king, so weak in fact that Neko seems stronger than him, and she's only a support-type through illusions and distance manipulation. WTH Shiro, WTH?!

Munakata is weaker than expected the gray king didn't even break a sweat . When is shiro ever going going to fight seriously , he and Anna weren't doing jack shit when Munakata was fighting Seigo Ootori , Shiro was like "Look how i can counter bullets with my umbrella !" , who the fuck cares ?! just use your real power , does he even have one anyway ? XD
Even Kuroh and Neko would have been more useful than Anna and Shiro during that fight
Fushimi with JUNGLE ?! The green clan is already Overpowered so just imagine , two Extremly powerful kings : Seigo and Nagare + 3 Powerful clansmen : Sukuna , Yukari and Fushumi . The Other clans are so done

Yeahh, I have pretty much the same complaints as people above. Man, they've been doing so much exposition while sitting around and yet they couldn't come up with a way to say to the viewer that all these onlookers just can't interfere with the green clan stealing the plates because reason x, like "the fog of the grey king creates some kind of maze effect and they need to find a way through but can't make it in time to stop the theft". At least then we'd be like, ok, stupid reason but the characters at least did something instead of standing around.

The latter part of the episode was better imo, but then Fushimi is one of the few characters I like. His confrontation with Munakata was fun, and hey, he actually said he'd resign if the blue king would do the whole withdraw and wallow thing. I think Fushimi is one of those characters who can't follow people they don't respect, so he bails when his expectations aren't met.

Can't wait to see Jungle Fushimi; I expect his manic side will get screen time since he can fight former allies again :)

The rest of the plot? Don't really care.

Thanks to Fushimi this anime has become interesting again.

Also, the guy has said practically everything that was in my mind during the entirety of the fight to Munakata. Good.

Next Fushimi+Jungle will destroy the other three clans (if he really is betraying them). Can't wait!

Welp.
I didn't really have expectations for the second season.
Greens stole the slates. Wow, okay, I mean, there were 5 people. Anna was exhausted, I can understand that, and Munakata was actually fighting, which leaves three people who didn't even try to help.
And Fushimi, wow, just wow.

At least the music was good. That's something, I guess.

My god that first part of this episode.

How did it happen that all members, King included of Red, Blue and Silver clan became so useless!?

Munataka failed heavily, I guess destruction of the sword does cost him a lot. Although as far as I remember Suou Makoto from first season was still pretty OP even with sword that was in much worse condition. Here however Munataka gets easily destroyed without putting in much of the fight. He was just shooting target for "Jiraya" :).

Still ignoring how heavily he was getting owned he still keeped Jiraya occupied with him. Still what the hell were others doing.

Sure, Anna ran out of power after flying around with green king... even though it was only him who was supposed to run out of power quickly but whatever. The biggest question is what the heck was Shiro doing... I mean HE DID SAW THE ROPES COMING DOWN!!!!! and from the look of it he was probably just standing there looking at it as he didn't have any fight during that and no one attacked him either. Even if someone did attack him, was it so hard to cut through those ropes!?

I guess that I it was my mistake from the start to expect anything coming out of him, he is just as useless as he was in season 1 and nothing will change it. Now that I think about it both memoryless Shiro, Weisman Shiro, and current Shiro are all useless and can't do anything, why would that change right now?

As for others, they were getting lost in the fog... common! Is that fog really that OP? It didn't feel like a big skill.

Really, based on how the characters used to be I can say nothing other than they were all butchered for the sake of the plot so the Green guys take the stone. (with exception of Shiro, Shiro is as useless as always) :)

Now the second part, I after the first part I must say
No wonder Fushimi got pissed off at those slackers. As for him talking with his King, I am pretty sure he wanted to bring out some motivation from Munataka and actually cheer him up... it was rather easy to see if one understands Fushimi's character. Still Munataka went ahead and be an asshole. (ah he used to be one of my favourite characters but after he got reckt I like him less. Being arrogant smartass is only allowed for those who have accomplishments behind that talk. Otherwise the character is just all talk no skill)

Now Fushimi goes to Green clan... good for him, reck those useless pieces of crap! Maybe they will learn something thanks to that!

At the end of this ep, Fushim might have became my favourite char of the series. I actually would now want to see the scenario in which he would end up as a King.

Then one more thing, looking at this objectively our "Good guys" are trying to keep the power to themselves while our "Bad Guys" are trying to share the power with the people so they can protect themselves the moment government goes crazy. That moment definitely will come eventually, we even saw the hints of that where Munataka was easily ordering the Premier (or someone). Sure our "Good guys" are right by saying that letting this power go to bad hands might turn out quite bad, but letting one group of people having overwhelming strength over the other can lead only to one thing... I mean if all the kings are in a single city and belong to the single country, that country should be able to conquer the world (or at least large part of it). Don't tell me in realistic human environment it would not come to that. At best case scenario it would end up with King's country being able to threaten everyone else.

The execution and pacing of this season have been really mediocre, but I'm liking this development with Fushimi. Still, I can't shake the feeling all the events that have taken place so far could have been done in half the episodes without losing anything. Also, for some reason I'm finding the fights' direction very uninspired and a far cry from the ones in season 1. Hopefully the last 5 episodes deliver.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

All those people taking Munakata and Fushimi's fight at face value, do you even have eyes or what? It's like super obvious that Munakata was just acting (just look at his hands and at tons of witnesses, dammit) in order to provide Fushimi with a believable excuse "had a falling out with his king and now wants revenge" so Fushimi could go undercover into the Green clan.

I really do think that Munataka was just becoming unstable because of the state of his Sword of Damocles is in.

yes yes yes, Fukushimi creating Drama. The fact is we all knew Munakata was losing his power as you can see his sword's beginning to crumble and you can't say he got rekt by the grey king. Munakata was testing Fukushimi but he really wanted him to stay most likely but those words triggered Fukushimi baaad. Anyway good episode this week overall.

No way, he's the best guy in the entire anime. He stood up and did what needed to be done, killing his fellow king despite the weight of it and bitterness of the reds. He kept order when the gold king fell. He was the one who held Shiro accountable for always running away, and it isn't empty bitching because he always holds himself accountable for his failures like this episode.

This series is sitting at a 4/10 for me, most of the episodes this season have been inconsequential and even this one felt badly paced. The animation is wonderful and the sound and voice work is excellent, but everything else is just mediocre. There are too many characters and the plot is not strong, complex, or epic enough to make good use of all of them.

Im glad someone just rekted Fushimi mentally but still Munakata was so freaking stupid for letting Fushimi go and even provocating him to join JUNGLE.
Fushimi has a lots of intels about SCEPTER 4 let alone knows the abilities of everyone so letting him leave where is a possiblity he sells out intel is very big especially if he holds a grudge against you.
If this turns not out to be the plan of Munakata he is indeed a afailure as a king.

I actually kinda like the Blue King?? Maybe I'm the only one. But anyways Shiro is useless as always. Fushimi is probably gonna join Green Clan. Blue King was a savage to Fushimi and I thought it was really funny because it was all true. Neko is dumb. Again. BUT at least next week we'll be getting some Seri x Kusanagi!!! So many negatives and so little postives for me in this episode.

Nah, Munakata is great. But all his supporters (accept for Fushimi, oh well) are just so weak.

I don't underatand it either. And I could even understand why Anna wasn't fighting, cause she was probably exhausted, but Shiro was told to be defending in the plan, and he did not do such thing. He just stood there with her, protecting her but in that case Kuro could do it just as well. And they heard/saw the helicopter coming... Total failure.

Fushimi is a quitter so I'm not surprised by the fact he left. I'm just wondering what he will do next and if there is some place where he truly belongs.

I thought this was a rather cliché plot element. Of course he will join the grey clan. What other way do they have of finding them? A bit obviously how he showed it to both reds and blues.
