| 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. |

| 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. |
| Wow, this episode was actually quite stylish...it reminded me of Space Dandy with all the alien and surrealist stuff. This show is not what I expected, since I thought it would be a super-power action show, but it seems more philosophical, which can be a good thing if executed well. In either case, I'm curious how it will turn out. |
| A welcome slow down after the more battle centric first two episodes, yet it still retained the intensity of the latter. We didn't get a lot of information about the game but it looked very interesting. I was wondering if the time flows differently where they were playing the game. It seems weird that K.K. and the other guy were patiently waiting there for 99 hours without sleeping, drinking or eating. Ghost girl didn't get a lot of screen time but i'm guessing she's will play an important part in the plot later I also like to mention that the visual direction in this episode was top notch, especially during the game of Prosfair. It just looked amazing. |

DrummerX09 said: Anime of the season. |
| It was OK. feels meh the whole episode is wired as hell ending up with a chess like game , this anime is so confusing kind of no plot at all. |
| This episode really captured me!! I find it very entertaining whether musically or visually! :) |
| this was essentially no game no life if i actually enjoyed it |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I love the atmosphere of this show, but it's still hard to tell what's going on sometimes. I think it needs to find a balance between "style" and "story" if it wants to succeed. |

Red_Tuesday said: This show man, it's freaking fantastic right now. It doesn't patronize the viewer, doesn't force itself to let action drive the plot when it's not necessary, the soundtrack reeks of class, and the world is spectacularly detailed and vibrant. Best anime action-labeled show I've ever seen. Indeed. Too many shows nowadays try to force action where there simply doesn't need to be. I too really enjoyed this episode, perhaps because Klaus was the focus of this one. I mean, its one thing to beat people with your fists, but to put your line on the line in a highly complex, 99 hour long game of chess against a creature who has been playing over 1200 years really deserves some props. |
| That Prosfair game looked pretty damn hard. Well, got to leave it to the pros for playing for 99 hours. Klaus was pretty damn awesome even when blood was spilling out of his nose. |
| Gods, I'm enjoying this show so much. While I can understand why lots of ppl have problems with it, esp about the lack of a solid plotline and the "excessive stylization", those are things i actually like about Kekkai Sensen. I guess it's a matter of personal preference? mm And I do believe you can grasp lots of information about the world overall, not only visually but mainly from the dialogues. Yes, it's pretty subtle and it's not that much, but its enough for me, at least for now. The way the scenes are presented--- man, i'm loving it a lot. Seriously. |
 |
| My enjoyment for this anime is too damn high. |
 |
| Ahhh I liked the first two episodes but what's with these long and slow dialogues in every show this season? I know they're trying to tell the story but there were some pretty unnecessary dialogues. And no, I didn't think the animation was any good, it was average tbh, maybe it's just because I don't like flashy animations and I'm more into dark edgy stuff. But the studio was a bit sloppy, you gotta admit. Oh and the idea of the Prosfair game was interesting but quite poorly executed I think, it was a bit boring. Anyway, I'm still looking forward to more of the "story" itself since I feel like it's very scattered and messy, but it's got enough potential to keep watching. Next episode looks promising though, definitely watching. |
| That was intense game. Especially when they're most likely playing this prosfair game against some demon with like unlimited stamina, so it's basically a losing battle. Eyepatch girl looks kind of cool, hopefully she gets more screen time. I'd ship Klaus and her. WE NEED MORE WHITE!!! Apparently she's anime only? According to what everyone on here is saying. Shame, since I wanted to wiki her and find out more. Hope that just means they're going to give her lots of screen time and development. And then we can get a Leo x White ship. No White No Life. |
| I'm not sure what this episode tried to achieve, I had to skip back several times and I still don't really get what Klaus was doing other than playing some not-really-but-similar-to-chess chess game. |
 |
| play a chess 99 hours? I'm proud with Klaus for just saving someone live i laugh when Klaus playing that chess/ "Prosfair" on computer that's very funny |
 |
| What we've learned here. Make detailed colorful & pale contrast background art in strange positions. Throw in some convoluted dialogue between characters we don't understand, as well as abstract philosophy. Play classical music. =Masterpiece...... no structure needed. This show sucks. lol. Enjoy the rest of this nonsense. |
Honoka is my Hero! Click Me! |
| Didn't like it at all... felt like the plot was just jumping here and there without much explanation... Nothing about the ghost girl... Angel thing? Then suddenly game without knowing how it works... then that russian guy becomes all gray.. Like what is the environment of the game sucking their energy? ooh well it's just not thing... |
| It's just astonishing that some people really believe this anime is convoluted, ffs. |
