masterpiece of an episode. The fight scenes were good and the last few minutes were quite funny

Nuking the entire place was definitely overkill but the fight itself was satisfying. The rejection at the end was brutal though.

Bruh dude literally went "atomic" and nuke an entire district. Like he didn't even consider people minding their own business there, I don't think MC cares for someone unless they can at least withstand a nuclear bomb.
In the shine of MC magnificent power display its easy to miss that they copied attack on titan for one minute. This is truly and anime of all time 100/10

"Atomic" made me lol. Tho I guess he doesn't care much about collateral damage?
Alexia getting rejected was expected. Blood splatter was not. Seeing a new girl appeared already I guess our princess has finished her role and we won't see her much anymore? I'm a bit disappointed she didn't recognize Cid down there. Would be a fun complication.
Speaking of girls, I really wish we had an episode or two dedicated to the Shadow Garden members. We get to see them for only short amounts of time, but with them being only ones who know about Cid it's a bit sad that they are pretty much some background characters. I mean, we even get end cards with those girls... As a watcher I should feel more connection to them imo.

Ok this was over the top but I guess that is how this anime will go. I think Cid could've killed Zenon without that atomic explosion that appeared to have wiped out part of the city (how many innocent bystanders died from that? Yeah I'm probably overthinking that.)

I was a bit surprised that Cid dumped Alexia and I'm guessing that was Cid's blood on the wall? In other words, I'm assuming Alexia got so mad that she attacked Cid and Cid took the hit and maybe healed himself afterwards? I believe it was said that no one was missing so I doubt it was Alexia's blood. It looks like Iris, Alexia's sister, knows that there are some traitors in the school since she had two of her trusted guys join an investigation team. Lastly, Cid needs to get himself cleaned up and I'm curious who the new girl is.

He dumped her because he wants to be a background character and a background character can't be dating a Princess.

My only complaint is that they keep fighting in random hallways instead of trying to do something interesting with the background.

I do like how they went about showing cid's fighting style, of him just like walking past them and doing clean swings. Be good if the bluray release gets some more animation, but it's still a lot better than most shows.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

The anime started great but it is worst with each episode, there are all these girls with no development that I don't know anything about and don't care about, the comedy is mediocre, the plot is almost inexistent and the animation is mediocre as well. The first episode was great, with good character development for both the characters that appeared, good animation, and an interesting plot, before that it is getting worst with each episode.

Kudo's to Iris for showing her might but it was Alpha that really proved herself with her strike. If anything Alpha's strike really showcased the skill that Shadow garden's operatives possess. The fight between Cid and would be council member though was pretty good. Even the most basic of styles can be lethal when used at the right point in time. Funny in that the cult is essentially one formed of druggies. As technique names go I am Atomic was a damm good one but one that showed well Cid's power. In the end im glad that both Alexia was safe and that she was able to realize just how much Iris actually cared for her. In the aftermath looks like we have some fools that picked the worst team to steal credit from. After this incident I think its safe to assume that a large part of the knight order are gonna turn out to be cultists but im curious to see what Iris and her team would discover.

So I am atomic scene is finally here and it was pretty well done.

Guess the anime didn't wanna bother having the members of Shadow Garden wear masks...

In the end we got to see a bit of Sherry so that was nice, excited to see how they will do the next arc.

Ok so the pink haired girl is clearly interested in him.
Despite having all those blood onto him, maybe she thinks it sexy?! Maybe she's a nympho or something then the other...

Still Alexia has a better chance with him. But I wonder how Akane (the girl from the 1st ep) felt about him....

Will read the manga now and wait for the anime to coop up to 5/6 episodes.

It was nice to see Cid and Zenon duel even though we would know the result, but it was cool to watch the power's difference, I thought Alexia would join the group now. But maybe in the future

"Im the one who saves from the shadows". Destroys thoulsands of lives by blowing up a couple of city blocks.
"I am atomic" line was a bit cringe.
Characters including main are dull and unbelievably powerful. By that i mean you dont believe in the characters strengths. Over explaining everything when you without problems can see and understand what is happening. "I will take these pills and become mega strong" but said over 4+ sentances. He takes pills and becomes mega strong. Just bad overall. I cant complain about the animation. The animation is pretty good except there are some mistakes that are obviously hidden from the viewers eyes with a bit of lazy touch up. Sound and music was good and satisfying. Disapointing

Nope you are not overthinking. It was just very bad writing. extremely over the top and goes against everything the character is said to represent and be. Just very bad. Not hating the series. I like the concept but its just so... bad...

had to go through 5 mins of work just to correct your one point , what is my life coming to


He still destroyed the life of all those people living there by destroying their homes, workplaces, infrastructure to the city, military in the area. Its just bad writing and over the top execution for no reason and going against what the main character is trying to do. just bad...

This episode had some great tops but also great bottoms where it was pretty mediocre. Overall great episode but expected something... well at least a bit more because the previous episode was great and all and it did deliver hype but this one didn't live up to that hype. That's all.
