I can't tell you how hard I laughed at that FMA reference. I kinda wish they didn't show the Kamehameha in the opening so it would've been more of a surprise. I was surprised that Staz didn't pull it off though, I was hoping he'd finish someone with that move. The speech was worth it though xD. I'm really liking this series.

ROFL, OMG those FMA and DBZ references. I love how those parodies actually make sense in the context of this anime, Staz is an otaku after all.

I had to look up who Hayao Miyazaki was after watching this episode lol.

Episode score: Over 9000/10.
Go ***k yourself.

It was funny when Fuyumi was panicking trying to say no.
lol it's like she was trying to say "No don't do that, we haven't bought the rights to use that!"
If Fuyumi were to actually say that, I would start dying, I love when shows break the 4th wall.

^This. Oh Staz, I'll never get tired of your references. It's like all his attacks are just references. But I do like his heart crushing attack.

Anyway, dat arm and dat mouth. Akimu is kind of a badass. Too bad he couldn't escape and went to jail with Franken. I wonder who sent Franken the body.

Staz is so badass with his unsealed powers. And because of that, Fuyumi will be resurrected.

I enjoyed watching this episode. Can't wait for the next one!
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

That guy who wanted to go for Wolf's legs is totally gay for Wolf. I am really loving this anime too much, even when action is not my most favorite genre. Hydro bell x Staz and Wolf x Yanagi are really the best in the end even if I am starting to like Yanagi x Staz too. I hope Wolf gets some power-ups too. For now, I like how he admits his defeat. Finally Yanagi's resurrection will be in next episode.

I have finally found the explanation to why I have so much in common with Staz but no powers. I am basically kid Staz and there is actually an even bigger bullet in my heart that my brother shot me with. I choose to believe it. Awesome Miyazaki is awesome.

Kamehameha... Really Staz? But then again IT IS Staz so it's fine.

But Damn what I wouldn't give to see the final fight, who cares if I get blown away.
Totally would have been worth it.

FMA reference was after the part where the other guy tells him his moves are not pretty. He proceeds to jump into air, do that hit stuff and than claps his hands (like Ed does) and summons circles on the ground (again, very similar to FMA).
Naruto one, I don't really know.

Yup, but it looks almost exactly like Susanoo's arm. Eyes also look like MS.

But I might be looking too much into it. Susanoo is not that old technique in Naruto. Blood Lad's author could start making the manga before Susanoo was introduced.

Even though it seems the same at first glance, Staz's finishing move is not a reference to Naruto.
It is simply the unsealed form of his unique magic that he uses to crush his opponent's heart. This form have much more use than that.

Also I do not know why you even compare Staz's eyes with Sasuke's. Not only are the pattern not the same, both their origin and meaning are completely different. Naruto also was far from inventing the concept of power sealed within eyes.

Not everything of resemblance to something is a reference. While there were clear reference (Astro boy, DBZ, FMA) in this episode, there's no need to stretch it further than it is.

With 4 episode to go I wonder where they'll stop. What is sure is that either it will have an original end or it will finish at a random point in the story.

Seriously, a better anime studio should remake this.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I agree and disagree at the same time.
I agree that the studio is actually doing one really shitty job. The production values of the show are horrible. While it is faithful to the manga, the animation is below average for nowadays standard. The soundtrack and cast are unmemorable, the only thing it has going for it is the May'n op and even then, it's sub-part May'n. The direction is also pretty horrible in certain area like when it switch from one scene to another.

I disagree that another studio should do the show. The manga is average and doesn't merit a remake. There's a lot of other manga and novel that should be given a chance before a manga of low caliber is given a second one.
