| not sure what to make of this show as of yet since we're kinda given bits and pieces from everywhere... hope it all ties in properly |
| I thought I was watching some NGNL. |
 |
| Ending theme is best of the season. |
| imagine playing a single game of chess for 6 days straight. anyway plot, please. where is it? |
~my list
| Not sure why any of that happen, but it had style. Just a wait and see kind of anime. Will it all make sense by the end. |

Are you gonna dispute that it's not currently building the world around them because something like that isn't vague. Learned about Prosfair, underworld dealings, and a possible story element that could reoccur later in the series. |
| I think I'm gonna tired if they keep going like this. Give me a damn plot please |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
This monkey is too intelligent. |
| I wasn't too sure about this show at first, but I found this third installment to be very interesting, and now I look forward to the next one. |
| I love the music playing during their match. |
| Once again, great episode. This show has such stylistic animation, I could zone out staring at the screen and enjoy myself. I also really like the varied OST with random additions of what I believe was Beethoven(?) thrown in. Damn, Klaus is a fucking boss. Really curious to know what is up with ghost girl. Though I suspect her brother will be some sort of antagonist. Definitely a 5/5 for this episode. xD |
 |
| Favorite anime this season, and really enjoyed this episode. I wonder how Meruem(HxH) would do in a game of prosfair lol. |
| Love the monkey, love the unique spin on chess, love Zapp, this anime seems really promising. Kinda reminded me of Durarara. That girl Definitely suspicious. |
<In the ghost town of our love there is a player piano trying to prove it can make music without being touched. My fingertips miss her so much.> |
Antinomy said: I wonder when we'll see the plot, though.  I heard there are only short stories. |
 |
| That was a nice episode. The match of Prosfair between Klein and that monster (Death itself?) was a blast to watch. Holy shit, the game got very complex towards the end lol. All kinds of additional planes and new pawns were introduced. |

| Overreaching main plot =/= good anime. Just saying. |
"Hi!" |
| What I'm expecting is that they will tease with the red-eye guy in episode 6 then we'll have finale in episode 11-12 with White, her brother and the red-eye guy. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| Episodic shows only really fall down when they are marathoned. They are great weekly. Also allows for the adaptation to do what it wants and stopping it wont ruin anything. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| >board game in which you put your life at stake for the fullfilment of your wish and you're aware you can't actually beat your opponent Wait a sec... Was that... some kind of reference to "The Seventh Seal"? Totally lovin it. |
| Sonic and Zapp's staring contest tho |
Jaimes said: _P5 said: Overreaching main plot =/= good anime. Just saying. Sure, you're not wrong. There's not a correlation between good show --> episodic shows. It's just that some people are expecting the ~PLOT~ to kick in so they can enjoy the show, when this plot doesn't really exist. IMO, taking note of how crazy (in a good way) the director for this show is, shackling him to a main plot to follow would only destroy his style. And this is exactly what I mean. People here keep thinking that if a plot suddenly kicks in, this anime will be an instant 10/10. It does a pretty good job of world building and such due to its episodic nature. |
"Hi!" |
| Zapp is still the best, the ghost girl obviously smells of trouble, and Klaus is somewhat boring although incredibly gentlemanly and honorable. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
Jaimes said: I think there's a lot o people mistaking Blood Blockade for something that is not. There's no overeaching main plot in this series, period. There will be an anime original one with White eventually though. |
| This was great as well as the previous 2 episodes. And the OP/ED are so good too. |
 |
| The game didn't really make a lot of sense, but it was pretty fun. And the episode itself was wonderful artistically, particularly the way the angles kept changing when they were in the alterworld. That line from the ghost girl at the end about Leonardo having good eyes was a surprise; hopefully that actually leads somewhere at some point. If not, I can perfectly live with this being episodic considering how fun it is. |
| This episode was okay, I still don't get a feeling for each character, not even the main ones. The MC is still bland. The alterworld was imaginative though and the introduction of the game Prosfair makes the anime more interesting for sure. |

| Godly ost lift up this eps score for me... |

Hikarusuke said: I thought I was watching some NGNL. The same here. Thats why i am loving this show. |
| Yet another really entertaining & crazy episode. I was not expecting this anime to be this good at all. |
| I like anime. |
| I don't understand why this anime has such a "low" rating. It's something different and freh, I really enjoy the music and the comedy of this anime. The chess game was really interesting, I'd like to know the rules. Apparently, it affecty your phyisal condition as well...Klaus even started bleeding x.x |
 |
| Really strange but I can't say I disliked it xD |
| If you can't imagine how hard is it to play 'Prosfair' for 99 Hours. You can at least imagine playing Chess with an unbeatable opponent for 99 Hours.. That aside, I need to say this.. Those OP and ED are highly addictive. |
| I love Minimalist Arts. Such Simplicity, yet hold so much Meanings to me. |
| Only episode 3, and they give us 4 amazimg fu*king songs!!!!! |
 |
| Klaus is a freaking badass!!! 99 hours playing is not for everyone, especially against arlelelle and in that super tense atmosphere. The songs are so awesome!!!!!!! Can't get enough of the ED and OP!!! One of the best anime of this season without a doubt <3 |
 |
| I loved the soundtrack this episode. When they were going to that "underground base" the soundtrack was a bit creepy but cool as hell. I wish I had a boss like Klaus, I love people like him. |
| Eh |
| 99 hours.. woah |
| The OST and the visuals are simply off the charts! God, Klaus is a beast! Who the heck can play Prosfair for 99 freakin' hours? No wonder Klaus is badass. |
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. |

The chess game was really interesting, I'd like to know the rules. Apparently, it affecty your phyisal condition as well...Klaus even started bleeding x.x I am really liking this show too, but I can easily understand why some people may not rate the show very high. It can be chaotic and stylized to the extreme, which in itself entertains a fairly niche crowd and, subsequently, disenchants the rest. Other shows that make it far because of how original, stylized, and even at times chaotic they are usually tone it down in some way to make room for a plot. This show is fun in that it hasn't done so yet. The fact that this show has 3 episodes so far without any substantial main plot is disconcerting to anyone looking for that, so once again this will target an even more selective crowd than before. At least that's how I see it. There are probably many other reasons why someone may not like the show, even all the same ones that would pertain to any other anime (i.e. personal preferences.) So, some people may find the show classy and stylish while someone else finds it boring as hell. That is individuality at work. |
| I would totally buy those wall paintings XD Prosfair need to be real game. And that angel drug, I wonder if the big shots will come out soon. |
 |
| An odd, yet very intriguing episode, seeing how the alterworld dealings work and such. The episode was accompanied by some more awesome music as well. I really like this shows style. It's just so.... Cool. I also can't wait to see more of the cute ghost girl. |
