| Office supplies are to be feared. So glad Gotoh shot Mari down. She's getting on my nerves. The crotch-stomping has got to stop. |

| Meh I feel like it's the same thing happening again and again. This one was a little better than last week. I hope they add some sort of plot line soon. The role play scene gave me a hard on |

This one was a little better than last week. I hope they add some sort of plot line soon. The role play scene gave me a hard on 1st episode is a guy trying to be a superhero and failing 2nd episode is him becomming more of one 3rd is him being a sensation and stopping a copycat 4th is now hes been reduced to a sidekick 5th is him coming to terms with what hes doing and breaking off 6th is a episode centered around him running away from people They arent repeating anything and changing up the game alot with each new episode, adding ina "plot" would just disrupt the balance and ruin the comedy of the series. comedies dont need to shoe horn in a pathetic attempt of a plot to be good, its series that try to throw in a plot that kill comedies like kill la kill |

| Goto like Hazama XDDD Time to train how to use office supplies as weapons XDDD I hope to see supervillian that can match up to Samurai Flamenco and Flamenco Girls |

Frontalbrise said: Dat heartmelter Moe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zx0TskfZf8 My new favourite video on youtube. Reading about other people speculation regards Goto's girlfriend made me sad :( But coupling it with the opening sequence it makes sense and now I'm double-sad :( I, for myself, was toying with the idea that maybe she's hospitalized or physically handicapped. I foreshadow a lot of feels in upcoming episodes... |
| more dick stomping I like it |
GoGo_Dominatrix said: The crotch-stomping has got to stop. Agreed. Mari feels like the villain of the show to me right now. They may be bad guys, but that shit's not cool, especially with how excessively she does it. |
| I really cannot get to like this girl, but Gotou's comments in conversation with her make me like him more so her presence isn't that bad. So now Masayoshi too got new weapons. :O Well, at least he thought about the use of them first, so that's fine. And poor Ishihara at the end~ D; |
| I guess with ending mentioning it we will see soon who his girlfriend is. My bet is they haven't met before and that they know each other only from internet, so there is pretty big chance it is Ishihara (they saw each other at Masayoshi's place yet they could be denying they know each other by then. And there were few texts where his gf was writing about Masayoshi (see this scene at episode 2 around 5:48). I bet that for some reason Gotou was lying about his job and place where he is staying when he was with her last time. But I know, this would be really obvious. They can easily introduce other woman that hasn't been in the show yet. Though there is pretty chance she will be close to someone other from the team. Other things are also possible. In this point of show, I don't thing we can easily guess cause we don't have enough clues to find the solution. More like I smell some fishy red herring in this. |

| Yet another BL joke. That ball kickin... ouch. Samurai Flamenco - the new Chuck Norris. That Megane Guy said: Is there anything he CAN'T do? love this show. |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |

I think the "villain" is going to be that guy trying to find out Flamenco's identity, that put out the 10mil bounty. I could see him eventually hiring thugs to catch him, and when they don't work, training real villains to send against him. |
 Vengeance of everyone's grudge. "I didn't add it to my list so I forgot I was watching that." - lpf |
| He's becoming increasingly badass by the episode. As usual, Flamenco Girl needs to learn her place... |
| The little Gouriki was totally crushed ouch >_< Flamenco improved and now he even has his own weapons. |
 |
| Finally, a good episode. Mari (and trio) can have her identity exposed and arrested and I could care less. :P +2 Goto. For fighting awesomeness and loving his GF. Flamenco gets a power-up (weapons); Goto shows off his prowess (flippin' people <3), as well as showing the inner goodness of humanity when the guy changed his mind about Flamenco after he saved him. Plus those weapons were actually really damn cool, convenient and non-lethal! They're pretty useful for subduing people; not hurting them (learn from it, Mari e.o). Lol@GotoxFlamenco. Goto blushing about it is too cute. Now if only the episodes keep improving from here on... |

| Another unexpected Moe's kiss from Mari "I don't mind if she's only using me" lol Poor Mari, she's been turned down by Goto-san This is so intense, everybody's catching Samurai Flamenco, but there are still some good guys. I'm waiting for this, Samurai Flamenco's weapon, office tools and his body armor with SF logo are so cool. He need to wear his grandpa's helmet. |

| Best episode yet and much better than the last few. I love how Hazama is becoming more and more like an actual super-hero with each episode and I can't wait to see how far it will develop. Hopefully we'll get to see Goto's girlfriend soon, though I still don't like the Flamenco Girls. |
| Are we going to see office supplies as part of Samurai Flemenco's merchandise? |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| That guy is the new Dollars!!!! Using everyone to capture Samurai Flamenco and passing along info on his whereabouts. |
| Sapphire is soooo cute |
| Pretty great episode xD This anime deserves more viewers. |
 |
| I just keep loving this show more and more.. Office supplies as weapons~ and then Goto's flip <3 But the Flamenco Girls, all that stomping x3 @_@ I'm in pain watching it.. and I'm not even male. But please, don't make Goto's girlfriend dead.. That would be a sad turn of events |
| Nice episode, Hazama is becoming really awesome and Goto to the rescue :) Why is everyone assuming that Goto's girlfriend is actually dead? He's texting to her about every day and didn't she left her umbrella at his place the last time they met? I don't think this is the kind of anime where Goto has a [childhood] trauma, imaginary friend or anything like that, it just doesn't fit with the rest of the story at all. Would it be that unlikely if she were just a normal girl he met online?... |
| So Flamenco became Batman Junior. I'm glad that Flamenco ignited a bunch of people obsessed with heroes and justice, including that scientist. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| My last hope that Gotou's GF is exist in anime is Flamenco Ruby. At least, Mari said that Ruby looks happy after the first mission. |
| I bet that glasses guy is our villain. Which makes for a weak one. But then, how far can they go with a villain in this kind of setting? |
| Gotou sure has a weird relationship with his girlfriend - it keeps bothering me throughout the whole series. It's a long-distanced one? OK, but how were they supposed to go for a sudden date when Gotou had some time free? Or do they simply not live together and call it a "long" distance? They sure text each other a lot, and it's hard to imagine Gotou texting himself (assuming Nachtwandler_21 is right about her being dead) in the first episode while drinking a beer at home. The reply came like next moment after he sent her the "You did..." (referring to the forgotten umbrella)... So unless he has a dual-SIM phone and texts something different then he spells to us... I can hardly believe his girlfriend is dead... But it's weird... Totally weird... Doesn't feel like they are in love at all despite her cutely-phrased messages. Their relationship gives more of a "Yes, I have a boy/girlfriend, so I'm normal - don't bother me any further" for the society, or even for themselves. Like a psychological shielding of some sort. I also don't really get Mari. What's with all these ball-stepping scenes? They are clearly overdoing it. It wasn't even funny this episode at all (In fact I don't see the show as comedic as many here do - I really don't get which scenes are so hilarious for others). Fetish for uniforms, especially for those of saviours, like policemen or heroes... is like applying it to her own self. And then this dominating behaviour towards men... and the kisses with Moe. It only raises questions about her complexes and/or sexuality... Let's see how the "sailor moon" develops... I'm also getting more and more disturbed about the unrealistic elements of the show getting a bigger and bigger role - I mean all those superhero tools and the batman-like stunts - it's just meh, really. And what happens to all the bruises? I mean, come on, Masayoshi's a model! How does he manage to be so good at hiding from Ishihara and the rest of the agency/TV crew the wounds he constantly gets ? Finally I, too, feel that there hasn't been much plot development despite Masayoshi's clearly growing as a hero and becoming stronger with each episode. It's just that there's been no arch enemy set yet. So it's kind of difficult to see in which direction the show's going and what's the point of it. Just some fights here and there. In other words, where's the story? Where's the main conflict? Is it the society which is the antagonist? Is it the High Rollers guy who's then driving the society mad against Samurai Flamenco? I really seek for a better definition here. Because without a conflict, without a main enemy, there's no real story. |
GoGo_Dominatrix said: The crotch-stomping has got to stop. I agree with this so much. I was really enjoying this episode until that scene, especially how she encouraged the other two to do it as well. |
| Insert philosophical quote or exceptional picture here. |
| Nice episode. A bit unrealistic still. I don't know how he got so good at fighting. |
 |
| Such a good episode. The town was going crazy trying to catch him... i love his new gagets. That blush at the end.... |
  |
| Whenever I watch this show, my balls hurt. Great episode. |

Well... ball-kicking is an effective way to prevent a male from recovering quickly... In all seriousness though, I simply figured that her behavior, ball-kicking and some others you mentioned, was indicating that she is mentally unstable. I mean, she is pretty violent (ie. producing the first blood splatters in the show) and is doing the whole hero-thing just for kicks. At least that's how it came across to me. But I have to agree with you on the subject of scale. Considering how our protagonist received tools before the show is even halfway trough was... unexpected, to say the least. Hopefully this escalation is made well. Otherwise, disappointment shall happen. As for the plot. From what I've gathered, the episodes we've seen so far have been setting things up. Samurai Flamenco is now known, has allies, a mentor, an origin, some tools (or abilities)... basically, something that every hero requires. A nemesis should be on this checklist eventually. |

| Wow, yeah, best episode so far. It was really nice to see four-eyes help out Samurai Flamenco and saying "Heroes really do exist". Haha, Goto, did he ask for any of this? xD 5/5! =D |
 |
Kousoku11 said: Good point. The guys were knocked out already, yet she kept on kicking, violently, like several times. I really hope the show will reflect upon her acts later on in the story. There's just too much attention put to this (not to mention how the Japanese are usually very careful with portraying violence on TV/in manga as those might get followers in reality). Well... ball-kicking is an effective way to prevent a male from recovering quickly...In all seriousness though, I simply figured that her behaviour, ball-kicking and some others you mentioned, was indicating that she is mentally unstable. I mean, she is pretty violent (ie. producing the first blood splatters in the show) and is doing the whole hero-thing just for kicks. At least that's how it came across to me. In fact, I've been wondering since ep.5 how Mari herself perceives justice. It's clearly different from Masayoshi's, and she even said that herself. So her justice is not to track the actual law, but to severely punish. It's perfectly in sync with her own words: "let the evil die". This makes me really, really curious about her past. Has she ever been assaulted by men or perhaps even raped? Where does this will to punish, and punish violently, especially towards the guys, come from? I hope we'll see that sooner or later. I mean I really hope so, because this definitely holds a big potential for a good drama. Kousoku11 said: Yeah, I still kinda don't trust completely the tool provider and think that he might turn out to be a bad guy in the end... However, the post-ED part of the episode pretty much killed most of my concerns for him. We'll see...But I have to agree with you on the subject of scale. Considering how our protagonist received tools before the show is even halfway trough was... unexpected, to say the least. Hopefully this escalation is made well. Otherwise, disappointment shall happen. Kousoku11 said: Yes, absolutely. I see that, of course. But I don't know, it still feels somewhat wrong to spend a quarter of the story on that. Or maybe it's not even about the length... just that the episodes felt a little repetitive.. Oh well, I know, it's difficult to satisfy me these days with a show, so... let's keep on watching ^^As for the plot. From what I've gathered, the episodes we've seen so far have been setting things up. Samurai Flamenco is now known, has allies, a mentor, an origin, some tools (or abilities)... basically, something that every hero requires. A nemesis should be on this checklist eventually. |
| Wow, this was actually a pretty good episode. Those tools seem like something I would find in a cereal box... aside from the razor blade. And lol'd at Moe learning to crotch stomp. I really think Sumi is Goto's girlfriend, only because we haven't seen those two together, and her personality seems so different from the girl on the phone that it would be an awkward twist. soulelle said: A uniform fetish is actually really common. I don't think it's the idea of him being a savior or anything that gets her going... more that type of uniform itself rather than a hero's like Samurai Flamenco. Because I can definitely dig a girl in uniform (i.e. UPS uniform are nice, and they're pretty similar), and I don't find anything appealing about a magical girl outfit. And she apparently likes the idea of being punished... which hopefully doesn't entail too much. :o Also, I think she's just playing with Moe, so she doesn't have to try as hard... which I think Moe realizes.Fetish for uniforms, especially for those of saviours, like policemen or heroes... is like applying it to her own self. And then this dominating behaviour towards men... and the kisses with Moe. It only raises questions about her complexes and/or sexuality... Let's see how the "sailor moon" develops...

And what happens to all the bruises? I mean, come on, Masayoshi's a model! How does he manage to be so good at hiding from Ishihara and the rest of the agency/TV crew the wounds he constantly gets ? I also don't like where it's headed with the gadgets and stuff, I was worried it might start going down this road. I mean I love heroes like Batman and Green Arrow, but it feels too lighthearted for that kind of stuff and lacks any badassery. Not to mention the gadgets are kinda meh, and a bit unbelievable... dem wall-climb potholders. But we'll have to see how it goes, it could still turn out pretty cool, I have to agree Kousoku11 about it setting up the plot, because I keep expecting it to get better and better... which I think it has been slightly, this episode was the first one I actually enjoyed. soulelle said: Well, there's a few ways people usually see justice, and they're generally centered around humiliation, imprisonment, or death. Honestly, I'm a male, and I don't see anything offensive with kicking them in the nuts. I mean, I took a non-traditional martial arts class for a couple of years, and we were always taught that anything goes, because an assaulter on streets isn't going to hold anything back. Which in turn lead to all the male (and a few females) students fearing me because somehow my foot always found a way to their crotch... to the point where the highest ranked, like 35 year old, dude had to start wearing a cup... so I guess that goes without saying.

I mean I really hope so, because this definitely holds a big potential for a good drama. The way I see it, it all depends on how far you're willing to go and what needs to be done. Not that I couldn't see it, but I don't think stomping on their balls is really drastic enough for something like rape. Personally I think aside from a little bit of sadistic enjoyment, she's just making sure to set them in their place. I think criminals, particularly ones like gangbangers and the like earn a bit of physical punishment. And really, most people wouldn't learn their lesson simply from a beating... but something humiliating like having your balls publically stomped by a small girl like Mari would definitely teach them a thing or two. It would at least make them think twice about doing it again. |

| I really love the office supplies being weapons and tools! How awesome is that? |
| So much fun, some parts had me laughing XDD. One thing I really liked in this episode was the OST, those BGMs. <3 P.S. Seduction, damn if it was me, I wouldn't be able reject that.. Damn sexy. And, Moe's "Oh. My. God" XD Dem english. and of course some BL ship Aggron said: Is that Pink Panther music!?! :D I thought of that too, it's similar, but I think it's just partly because I don't know/never listen to the full Pink Panther music. symbv said: Are we going to see office supplies as part of Samurai Flemenco's merchandise? Fuck yeah if they have that in the shop, I'd buy them!! I mean, they can't be very expensive, right? :) ME WANT! Someone please make it happen! soulelle said: It wasn't even funny this episode at all (In fact I don't see the show as comedic as many here do - I really don't get which scenes are so hilarious for others). If you can't find this funny then this show is not for you. I was smiling all the way and laughed at some scenes. Edit: I still can't get used to the balls stomping of those Flamenco Girls.. It's tripled now ~.~ Edit2: I have to say that the nunchuck, man Hazama was using it like a pro! |
