Perfect episode. But, I wish they did the fight scene with color. But, gotta accept reality. Everyone doesn't have a budget like Demon Slayer.

What the fucking hell is this peak lmao😭
I don't even know the mangaka actually likes music or just he hates these old folks and thier classical music lol.

This is what I love about this series absolute random shit, 0 sense fights. Made Mozart, Beethoven and others villain, just to train up Okarun. Bullet like notes and a fucking opera giant dolls nah..Aira destroyed those big things quite well with her.
Waited so long to see my girl in action and she didn't disappoint. Looked stunning and beautiful. Without her Okarun probably wouldn't have made it. He also looked amazing too. Outstanding animation and background art as usual.

I feel bad for Aira🥲
Tough being a losing heroine. Even if Momo Okarun are made for each other and best ship by far. Aira will be my favourite...

Okarun v evil eye cliffhanger again,looks like it got rewinded by 6 episodes.

Just not this season probably one of my very favourite episodes of the series.

This episode was a good change of pace from the overall evil eye arc. I gotta be honest here, i read the manga and even back then the "evil eye" arc wasnt my favorite. So it kinda pisses me off that we are still dragging it till episode 9 because know i now that its more than positive that we are also leaving this season with another bullshit mid arc cliffhanger instead of a proper one at the end of it. Won't say more than that but it really worries me.

Amazing ep

The battle between the musicians and Okarun and Aira was nonstop fun.

Loved the direction, animation, drawings, and the color usage.

The way that Okarun was able to learn how to fight thru music and beats was pretty cool.

Aira falling more in love with Okarun, oh brother...

Okarun standing on business, Evil Eye not ready for this rematch.

This ep adapted the last few pages of ch 57, 58-59, and left 2 pages of 60 to adapt. While I truthfully thought that it would finish at the end of 61, its fine for hype purposes, but would have been a better place to end.

Saw the trailer and it was fire. It will adapt the last 4 eps pretty well. Stay tuned.

10/10

The previous episode left me hyped that we’d get to see some Aira–Okarun tag battle.
The visuals were stunning, though I felt they were a bit lacking compared to what we’re used to seeing in the series. I guess the stakes weren’t as high, given that this is just a training arc but still.
I loved the Acro Silky vs. the giant chorus bit; it felt way too SNK-coded to not be a reference.
Looking forward to the next episode even more than this one, and I envy whoever gets to binge-watch it all once the airing ends.

Action scenes and classical music makes for an excellent combination thanks to how hectic this episode go up to!

Both Okarun and Aira worked hard to make sure they could survive the classical onslaught early on, but the pay off was great. Okarun was able to learn from this fight and seeing him take down the musical composers themselves at the end was pretty cool. Not only that, but Aira was really taken aback by Okarun thanking her for helping him out. It made for a really sweet moment.

With that settled, Okarun now has unfinished business to settle with Evil Eye once and for all. Hopefully the training he got earlier helps him win this fight.

Imma be honest. This might've been the worst episode of the season. The fight was mid and the only thing that had me hyped was the end with Evil Eye vs Turbo Granny. Also, if Okarun wins 1v1 against Evil Eye, I'm calling cap because he's way stronger than when he first possessed Jiji and Okarun hasn't even really trained yet, so him getting a power boost would be mickey af. I'm hoping Jiji prevents Evil Eye from going all out or something. Overall a solid 6.5/10 for me.

THIS ANIME IS AWESOME. THIS STUDIO IS AMAZING. THE WRITERS ARE TALENTED.

I think the more I watch this show, the more I admire the studio their talented animators and show casing their efforts into characters expressions, movement, mobile choreography has highlighted to me how much more respect they deserve. Honestly I dont even mind that this episode was mostly about Okarun's training arc and needs paying attention.

That said, the training arc was great, the music coming back full circle makes me wonder if the Mangaka wrote it the same way in his manga as well. And if so, the anime did it justice by the way the paced, directed, and showed it in glimpses. Something a lot of shonen animes lack. EXTREMELY lack.

Granny is growning on me, and rising my suspisoen on her on what plans she has for Okarun. She is a 'evil' spirit after all. So it makes sense to be aware of her best solution to try and regain her abilities. But I thought she would have buried that...

AnyWHO, I love this anime. Jiji is gonna get he's ass kicked, I hope more so evil eye. But jiji needs to snap out of it, and who better than his BESTO FRIENDO to help him out by KNOCKING HIS teeth in.


ANYWAY, rating time


Plot: 10/10
Training with the IDEA of tempo to Get faster, for a speed based power... COOL

Theme: 10/10
MUSIC... FUCKING MUSIC... i love it

Ost: 10/10
BEEP BOOP, also the way they tied it to the kicks n the BEAT way on beat to every OOMF is amazing

Characters: 10/10
sigh, I think I have emptied a lot of what I think about the characters in the previous ep. And NOW ARIA is showing her genuin SELF TO OKARUN. I thought her 'crush' was just to mess with momo but that though LEFT in a heart beat seeing her reaction when Okarun thanked her. AHHH so cute.

Back Stroies: 10/10
SHONEN need to take note on how to deliever back stories. Cuz this show does it in verious ways and delivers them in more way then one. and that is something I noted.


Overall: 10/10
I loved it




ANYWAY
THIS IS WHY THIS IS SHOW IS #1 this season. freaking amazing.

Masterpiece of an episode, as always. First and foremost, I gotta hand it to Aira, chapeau for obliterating five giants by herself just to give Ken the chance to headbutt the five musicians (who were controlling the giants) back into their portraits. Biggest chapeau, though, goes to Turbo Granny.

The way she reminded Ken of Hunting Soul’s rhythm, and how he instantly started running at the speed of sound, literally dancing through the battle, pulverizing everyone with his moves until he finally reached the musicians to seal them back as portraits, was incredible.

That aside, what I’ve been waiting for so long is finally happening next episode, an actual fight between Ken and Jin with both of them at full power. I’m super excited to see how it unfolds, and even more excited about the fight itself! I seriously can’t wait at all!

Nice to see Aira getting to join in some action. If they can repeatedly use the music room to fight, they can use it as a training room lol. Hoping the arc does reach its closing soon though.

This episode is one of the episode I've been waiting for it to get adapted, the evil musician fight is so epic in the manga and i just know its going to be really epic in the anime especially if they're going to use a lot of different music in the fight, and well I'm somewhat correct i guess, before i complain lets just put out the good stuff first, first is the music i love how they put the hunting soul music while okarun was in the Rythm that is exactly how i would imagine that scene to be, and also the fight animation even though its not quite detailed but its still really good especially aira, man i love aira so much in here she is so creative with her power by making them fight themselves, and the little detail of turbo granny color sound you could literally hear the bell sound love it, now the negative this episode somehow felt slow and so quite sure the part with hunting soul music was cool but before that it was really quite, it feels empty and the dialogue feels so distant with each other and the thing that i was disappointed at is the five switch per piece scene THEY RIPPED IT OF THE MANGA i mean come on, i was really interested in how they're going to adapt that because it would be cool with how dandadan usually is fast paced with the move, and remember how evil eye soccer move went, that went hard but this is kinda disappointing, and lastly is the character design, it doesn't look consistent even though ep 1 ep 2 and ep 3, and all of season 1 was so consistent, at times okarun faced and aira look really weird especially when they where talking normally, at times even momo face at the end look a bit weird, and really i just wish that the art would be clean like season 1, but this episode was definitely still super fun to watch not bad but just okay in term of adaptation, but still the big thing is not this episode the big thing is still later when the goat kinta finally debut but lets just see how they're going to adapt that part, and note there are part in my opinion better than the manga like when okarun run, that was amazing, the coloring was not bad the desaturation somehow fit so i don't mind, and the music dude just the best part of this episode the music and the camera works, science saru still know how to do they're thing even though i can't lie i'm starting to think they are running out of budget for dandadan, but keep up just a little bit more please

That entire musical fight sequence ha me thinking maybe Aira should just be the leader after all(and if not, Turbo Granny should be). Interesting bit of character development for her after the fight wondering why her "usual self" isn't coming out. Anyway, can't wait to see the fight between Okarun and Evil Eye next episode.

Well that was pretty cool, goofy af but cool lol, I don’t like classical music but this was an interesting and wacky way to make use of it. But damn Ken doesn’t listen to music at all? Well at least the first ever song he heard was Hunting Soul, because I’m still feeling that jam two episodes later lol, I was happy to hear it again here. Aira was also great here, her being there was a great help to Ken, the sequence of her taking out the giants was very epic, also that moment where she felt her heartstrings get pulled after Ken thanked her was very sweet too, I love Ken x Momo but I can’t deny that was cute.

So now Ken has his rhythm down and is confident in taking on Evil Eye again, the preview for next episode kinda ruined the outcome but I’m sure this is gonna be a blast to witness. Also, new key visual, nice, I liked the previous one more but it makes sense to change it with the worm arc being over.

The fight against Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Dvorak, Schubert, and Bernstein was one of the episodes I was looking forward to seeing the most and it didn't disappoint. I just love the idea of a bunch of real-life composers coming back from the dead and just attacking Okarun and Aira for no basically reason lmao. The music is great of course (nice to hear some other symphonies get the spotlight besides just the Fifth and the Ninth), but the animation just keeps going absolutely crazy, and the color palette was a great touch that really added to the experience. This anime is just a visual masterpiece, and it makes me really excited to see how they'll adapt the fights in later seasons

This was by far my best episode of any anime ever, it was amazing. I was getting sick of the show then this came along, and blew me away. I've never used this about any show before, this episode was "peak", delivery, impactfulness, meaning, logical continuity, tension, pacing, everything 10/10. Shame this season so far has annoyed me in many different ways as season 1 was great, but hell I'm looking forward to the next episode so much. Even though this season has been mid for me, I don't think I've ever seen a better piece of media than this episode, I am invested lol. Think I repeated myself on every part here, but I'm actually hyped which never happens, so this episode deserves it.

Can not wait.
