Onsen scene.

Anyway, the Calamity Trigger selection OST gave me nostalgia. One of my favorite OSTs on Blazblue.

I'm pretty sure Tao and Litchi are the only reason I still watch this. I wanna see that Bang guy too. My friend's description of bara guy whose clothes burn off sounds good to me.

Noel is so fucking irritating omfg. Why does she have to be a main character? She's so whiny and pathetic - how did she even become a soldier or whatever she is? I'm so glad Ragna ditched her ass.

Honestly I have... no fucking idea what is going on 90% of the time. I've never played the game, but I watched an episode with a friend who has and even he had no fucking idea what was happening, so it probably doesn't help. Before this anime I'd never even heard of the game and I haven't heard of it since then either, so... I dunno where I'd even buy it - I don't even know what console it's on.

In other news though, I am definitely calling him Ragna the Loli-lover-edge forever now.

oh dont give that bullshit excuse, for starters we cant tell if we hate it until we watch it. And whats the point of anyone dropping this anymore since most of the people putting up with this garbage are fans of the game seeing how big a trainwreck this series would be. we are getting what we expected so why leave

JizzyHitler, I had been monitoring your comments on every episode for Blazblue Alter Memory.

You tried to criticized this series whenever you had chance which create a negative mindset towards those who has yet to watch the episode. This is supported by your recent comment such as "Every second of every minute of this episode was trash, Fuck this anime"

Every individual has their own opinion in terms of their personal taste and you should Respect it. One may see this as interesting while others may see it differently.

I believe that this episode is still acceptable with the exception of fan-service which is the original scene for this series.

Well, this society supports freedom of expression. None can stop what you are doing.

Take care.

Fuck this director.

The existence of the Kaka hot spring is from the game and novels, sure the scene isn't from the game but the hot spring isn't anime original.

The it heals both body and Soul is literally, it really does heal the soul as well.

My personal opinion is that this show is so far alright. It's not great, but definitely not horrible like some people have been saying. Art is meh? Yes. OST is mostly reused from tha games? Yes. Onsen episode? What show doesn't have that these days lol (besides, dat Rachel in a swimsuit was worth it and you know it!).
The characters are doing what they are supposed to be doing and the plot is moving on nicely though. So the show is alright with me.

Whoa, didn't expect an onsen episode in this anime.

Oh well, it at least revealed that Ragna is saved by Rachel and she is also responsible for placing the Azure Grimoire on Ragna. Still really have no idea what Rachel's role in the BlazBlue universe, rather than just being a powerful being here.

Thats honestly the most entertaining part of it, i mean it hurts as a fan but its kind of entertaining to see how badly they fuck this up. Which is probably why this episode cause me to get so mad, the entertainingly bad aspect of it was gone and just replaced with painfully bad.

Lets say hypothetically theres a god i see this anime as punishment for me ragging on the dangan ronpa anime so much, it may have beena poor adaptation, but it could have been so much worse after seeing this

Hey on the bright side 6 episodes left for improveme- yah i cant even say that with a straight face. Lets prepare for the clusterfuck-shift approaching, at least relius might create some scenes fun to watch

I'm still ashamed to the whole fact they didn't bring Arakune and Bang yet, they're 2 potential characters that change the course of the story.
Otherwise i'm fine with it, i'm not expecting the anime to strictly follow the game version at all. Pretty glad they managed to give a clear visual of Rachel, Platinum and the Grimoire.

Also glad they finally separated Ragna and Noel, as meant to be and can't wait to see the next episode. (BUT I WANT GIGANTIC TAGER)

At first i didn't like the whole hot spring nonesense, but half way through i realised, hey, that's supposed to be a gag-reel-route. xD
Which makes it actually a very close adaptation of the game.

It was actually quite a nice nod to the BlazBlue players, if they actually got the joke.

I'm not sure what your talking about but theres no gag real involving the springs or any of those characters in said springs, thats completely anime only, the closest this has to a gag ending reference with this ep is hazama's ending just cause

Yeah, it's anime only.
Since they are not forbidden by law to expand the story, that is what they did.
And they did so in the format of a gag reel.

just having comedy doesnt mean its a reference to a gag real, blazblue had shit tons of comedy outside of gag reals. What you said makes no sense

hell being in a gag real like format would mean they ahve to completely break continuity, like how ever single character shows up to the restaurant noel was cooking at or having jin end up ona island of ranking things he doesnt care about. They completly destroy any form of continuity and hence why they were gag endings, this didnt do that, it was just pandering

An onsen episode? In BLAZBLUE of all things?!? And Rachel, OF ALL PEOPLE, wearing a swimsuit?!

Holyshitdidallthisreallyjusthappen?

Ragna doesn't look too bad with his hair down though, his outburst was kind of stupid. "Don't talk to me with that face! I'm being a big bitch right now!"

And holy shit it's weird seeing Platinum's body talking with Sena's and Luna's voices. They always had the hood on and now I see for good reason.

HAHAHA, Lolicon Edge. I think that was the only thing I really enjoyed about this episode.

Seriously, looks like they just about killed the pacing now. There's no middle ground.

Heres the thing that really got me about that line, ragna never said that in the games, someone else did say that line in the games

....Jin did, they made ragna act like jin, thats what was really infuriating about this episode to me, anime only scenes for a BB adaption sounds like a good idea to me as you can put all the stories into 1 linear progression, however when you fuck up the personalities of the characters so much theres no point

That's wrong.
A gag reel does not necessary mean to complete break the continuity, it just means a very unlikely sutiation occurs.
The ones you named are certainly extremer variants, but there are also gag routes like


And Rachel wearing a swimsuit, yeah, that in itself is highly unlikely to occur, hence this is supposed to be a gag reel.

To be honest, there's nothing wrong on these kind of scenes (maybe they could have shortened the onsen part a bit but they ended in a nice cliffhanger), considering they can't use all the budget just for fights or to summaries an entire episode of the story (turning out to instant kill the pace, because details in BlazBlue matters a lot).

I highly doubt that everybody understood the story of Blazblue when they first played it, it was rushed since the beginning and people had to look at sources or to replay EVERY scene to get a 100% of what's going on (because you were forced to see every character's perspective which it takes LOT OF TIME AND MONEY in anime).
Even if we had that "True Ending Blazblue" video with crazy modded fights, you wouldn't understand the real plot and it's different on the anime. (Cutscenes in game are the same level of this current one, anyway).

So overall this episode is more 3\5 for me, because it really doesn't hurt anything, could have been better though.

Though since I hear chronophantasma pretty much answers 90% of the questions posed by the last 2 games id imagine theres someone more credible than I with this matter as i ahvent played CP and i sure as shit am not looking up any spoilers of it cause i hear how great it is, im not ruining that.

Lol that hot spring part, it started out fine but for some reason I wasn't much into it later, had to pause in the middle of the episode.

So Rachel likes Ragna? That jealousy there ~.~

Had a few laughs but "Ragna za lolicon-edge" is the funniest, and I love Luna haha, I love all 3 of them actually, Luna, Sena, and Platinum :) I love Ragna's reply too "Dare ga lolicon-edge da koraa!!" That voice is just too fitting <3

Can anyone tell me who's the voice actor/actress for Luna and Sena? I feel like I've heard their voice before but can't recall where or whose.

And the fight is starting!

Intricate is an understatement to call it, the plot here is worse than the Rubik's cube, the more it goes on and the less we understand; fabulous but stressful! ^ ^ "
Narrative that gives me the creeps only when there is Tao nearby! XD
There's quite a cast, but not capiscco because it lingers in the fanservice and not from space to blows without quarter, which would then be the one that viewers have come to expect! Mah! ^ ^ "
