hahahaha, what a surprising episode with all those fanservice scenes.. i enjoyed it though- i mean, Rachel in a swimsuit? fuck yeah.

and of course, Ragna The Loli-lover-edge.

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.

Best episode ever, didn't think it would turn out this great. "Ragna the Lolicon-edge" and that fanservice scene were fantastic. Really brings out the more funny parts in this series (alternative endings in the games)

its not a harem, only one character likes rags,
is the only one that likes ragna, though without any knowledge of chronophantasma


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. FUCK JANUARY COME FASTER I NEED CP

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!

Liked the beginning, thought it was a bit refreshing to take a step away from all the action temporarily.

Not as unwatchable as previous episodes. 7/10 for this ep.
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.

3/5

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! ^ ^ "
Designs that would make it more appealing vision, if they were finished. Narrative with too many holes blacks ...
