Bashing this show yet you like Cowboy Bebop? The irony is so strong that my sides legit hurt from laughing. Then attempting to talk shit on Plastic Memories and Owari which are also great shows. Holy shit, I'm in tears and can barely catch my breath that's so damn funny.


I do not consider Bebop on the same level as BBB. Their goals and stories are very different from each other.

And honestly, I have no idea why you're laughing at me in regards to Seraph. Did we watch different episodes this week or something? The one I saw had one of the most boring vampire battles to ever be put to visual medium.

I personally thought the episode felt like a good episode of gintama more than a ny other in the show. The last parts really were hype but man the ED so doesnt fit the episodes anymore.

also i loved the little sublte twist thtta the kfc girl zapp fell in love with and the doctor leo always has were both undercover agents

Oh man, a very funny episode that seemed to display how happy Leo is now, I'm glad! Also we get snippets of info pertaining to Black and White and oh gosh that ending. Can I just say thank God of Chow that the recap episode is 10.5 and not actual #11. I was super worried about pacing when I saw the PV.

I am seriously impressed at this show for interweaving the random bits of hilarity and blood with the serious plot-line pertaining to White and (Evil) Black.
I really just hope White makes it through this! I find myself showing rare bits of optimism! She'll make it through OK, right?

Such a crazy adventure just to get some lunch. Poor Leo, the God of Chow was against him. And Zapp ending up in the hospital lol. Next week looks like it's going to be a recap episode, hopefully it's an episode 10.5 like some people are saying
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

The first 18 minutes were absolutely pointless and a total waste of time. The rest was fairly interesting, but still nothing special. Worst episode yet.

Also, is next week seriously going to be a recap? That's annoying, but I suppose it MIGHT help clear a few things up.

What's there to clear up? White wants Leo's eyes and Black is a member of the criminal organization that controls the city. Apart from some vague hidden agendas in the background, It hasn't really gotten any more complex than that.

Every recap is for budget and time management. It's very rare but sometimes happens with 1-cour shows.

Anyway, almost every recap is pointless and reveals nothing new (...becasue it is recap), and the only exception I saw was Utena.

"Divine Famishment!"

This episode was completely wasted. The only parts relevant besides the ending scene was the deal about the Seal near the district they were fighting at being broken.

Not much actual humor this time round, and we didn't even get to watch Klaus go apeshit on those 1000 dudes....

Considering next episode is just a recap, I'm conflicted on whether to even watch it, or to just skip a week.

Excluding the ending, that was the weakest episode of this series in a while.

If only greater context was given for Klaus's fight in the background.

I agree that was like a filler, and a recap for next week like everyone is saying?? Its almost over I don't get it.

Why are people saying the episode is like filler when it was basically from the source material? Do some people not understand this series is episodic which is why we get these Sol moments. It's not filler it's apart of the series.

A recap episode... this also happened with Shingeki no Bahamut, I guess because they messed up with the budget too.

Zed saying "See you tomorrow" is really to make us think that there won't be a tomorrow for Leo, right?

I'm pretty sure this episode was 90% comedy only to prepare us for the tragedy that is going to be the ending. I wouldn't be surprised if Leo ends up either killed by Black or giving his eyes and probably dying then but that's gonna be heartwrecking... Leo's character development is one of the best I've ever seen and that really got me attached to him so yeah DON'T DIE PRECIOUS LAD.

Still asking this thought: if Leo gives away his God eyes, does he still have his normal human eyes or nah?

For a while I didn't understand that since it was tying together the anime only material as well as the source. It wasn't until I did some research that I found out that Black and White were anime only, explaining why interaction with them always seemed so separate from other moments in the show. Which is better than them trying to shove it into the middle of source material and making a mess of what's there.

Also, the introduction at the beginning of every episode obviously tells the viewer that the show's format is episodic. Not to mention the first episode where Leo sends a letter to his sister, pretty much telling her about all the things that have happened to him in Hellsalem's Lot. I guess people didn't really pay attention to that though.

What would Leo even do in a situation like this?

Pretty much this. I mean that letter that was sent to Leo's sister Michella in episode 1 was basically about all the random and fun hijinks he has done with Libra throughout the series which we the viewers are seeing. That's why in episode 9 Leo didn't know what to write in his letter which all connects back to episode 1 because he finally accomplishes it.

Seriously it's all these little details that makes me love this series so much, too bad some people don't realize it.

I thought this episode was okay. The stuff with Leo and company were funny enough. I feel like this show does have problems tying it's plot together sometime and can feel a bit jumbled. I also don't really feel much for the other characters because they really only devote a lot time to a few. Maybe a possible season two will fix that.

Maybe because in most series this stuff IS filler? I don't really understand how you guys are surprised that people think it is. Personally I think this show is trash, using the guise of being episodic to be random but that's just me. The reason I say guise as well is because it really isn't episodic. There was a continuing story for the last two or so eps.

Your concept and use of words are really funny, I have to say.

Maybe because this isn't the "most series". Go count how many "plot (yuck, it's really disgusting when people use this word for that purpose)" episodes are there in episodic series like Cowboy Bebop and others. This show is about the life in Hellsalem's Lot with sometimes frosting and icying of shounen battles. That is the content. Also, episodic does not mean it must not contain any "plot (yuck)" elements and continuing episodes. (Almost) Every story needs a finale, whether it's episodic or not.

On a side note, I really don't understand why those anime watchers have the tendency of using tags like "plot (yuuuck)", "character development", or "fillers" mindlessly as a means of excuses for covering their lack of expressive abilities. Just "this was boring" or "not my taste" would rather come much more genuine, seriously.

Never I though this anime would be really entertaining for me, and how pity it only get 12 episodes (not including recap episode), I don't read the manga so I don't really know how much this anime conveying the original. Will there ever be any chance for a second season?

Noragami is getting a second season and according to the estimates of BD/DVD Kekkai Sensen is going to sell a lot more, so I think is possible.

How exactly would it be considered filler if it's all things that actually occur from the source material? It's pretty blatantly stated that these are the events that occur around Leo and Libra. By now, I wouldn't even consider these events random. In fact, why would you? It's not as if any event that occurred hasn't been explained, besides it's Hellsalem's Lot where there is always something happening. It's obviously episodic, sure there was Z's Longest Day but other then that ever other episode just has its own story (minus the anime only moments).

I think it's because they want to give a reason behind disliking a show that puts it in a bad light, like instead of just simply saying "I don't like the taste of bananas," they'd much rather say "bananas lack any expressive flavor compared to other foods. It uses its excuse as a fruit to stand out from other foods but that doesn't mean much if you don't express your taste."

I think this formula, a good way to narrate events. Despite not having almost never a serious moment, they managed to reach the predetermined point; some may argue that reaching the climax had the right pathos, this can not give him almost wrong. The feeling that you would expect, is that the question point-blank, but it is not. The rest is always exquisitely beautiful and well done, humor and beautiful designs remain unchanged. I can not wait to follow the next episode. I hope that there is by return a second season of this show, too much fun the atmosphere.
