| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not bad actually. This slightly exceeded my expectations at least in the music department. Feels similar to season 1 except it's more catchier. The episode pretty much reintroduces all the major characters and Kings. I feel like they jumped right into it a bit fast although they did a good job with the cinematic.  Way more action than I had expected LOL I feel like the studio put a lot ore effort into the skateboarding scenes hmm.. Also those helmets looks pretty dope. |

| It starts with Blue team vs. Red team, when red king and KajiKaji's character are alive?! It has not only those main ones from last season, but also supportive characters' fighting scenes (a bit of fan service from the lady in blue team, too). Then changing the scene and that new boy (from Green team?) as well as those new characters from both Blue team and Red team with Mamo's character and FukuJun's character (separately) talking about Green team. KajiKaji's character's song for a bit!! Blue team meeting up Red team after first season (and Nakamura-san's character got chubby again?) because of info. of Green team and those members?!... they sounds like bunches of brats (acting like they are fooling around). When one of them ran away, he met cat and OnoD's character. It seems like they are like a bunches of "players" of game because they use "points" like games. It seems like Blue king is the one whose power is at limit this season. At the end, White king trying to come back (like the end of the movie). 26:20 next (so late! delayed ~30 mins.) I guess the announced OP and ED would start next ep. (though CMs were aired and they were both awesome).

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| If you live in the US its on Hulu now. Also I'm very pleased with this so far cause the other characters in HOMRA actually got lines! And some action in. It seems we started off with a flashback with a skirmish between the blue and red clans what a way to start the second season. Jungle went way too far with that video about HOMRA being over don't mock the deaths of Totsuka and Mikoto. T^T |

|
| Watched it on Hulu. Gohands delivered. Animation and music were great and we got lots of action. Really missed K. :) |
| I think I love everything about this anime. Srsly the music is so damn good. |
 |
| I loved the opening music. And the action was amazing and DAT skateboarding part was amazing. |
 |
| Nice first episode, the beginning was beautiful. I was one of the few people who loved both season 1 and the movie, so looking forward to more of this. Hopefully they'll keep the aspects which I loved the most about it - music and visuals. Of course and make the story interesting too. |
| Ahh, the OST sounds is just great as always. The animation is literally eyecandy<3. Here's hoping the action keeps up. A bit of unneeded fanservice with the boob jiggling and camera view at the beginning of the girls panties though. Dat skateboard action scene<3. Shiro finally appearing. Yesss. |

| Wow the first 8 minutes was just showdown between the Reds and Blues, lol. I expect no less from this franchise. They also exploit the hell out of Seri though, always with the camera angle of her butt and random poses. It ruins the mood because I just want to laugh at how intrusive the fanservice is. Other than that, I definitely enjoyed the action, even if it did absolutely nothing to advance the story nor did it do anything to establish background info about the relationship between the Reds and Blues that we already didn't know. Another nitpick though, the "ready" thing that the Blues do is cool but not cool, I mean we saw it at the beginning of the episode already, and it's not like people will always wait for you to finish before attacking. I'm surprised how stupid their opponents were, if it's that easy to take down a King with bombs, people would've already tried it. So we're getting a continuation of what happened in the movie, with the Greens being up to no good, and also finally seeing Shiro. Wonder what's up with the Greens and what Shiro is going to do from here. Also, who is that boy voiced by Kugimiya Rie? |
| Man I forgot how beautiful this anime was. I also forgot how smokin hot Seri Awashima was! :3 |

| Aww yeah, Shiro, Neko and Kuroh are back. Wonder how long til they're reunited. Decent start. As visually appealing as ever. |
    |
| What just happened? I mean, this episode was just PURE fanservice. And I don't mean only Seri's close up shots, but the whole 8 minute long Suoh vs. Munakata fight, and of course both Yato vs. Fushimi fights. That's also fanservie. I'm sure that the whole tumblr is now screaming in delight. And that basically was the whole episode. C'mon, where's the plot?! Well, I had high expectations, but I guess this episode just brought them down... |

| I HAVE'NT EVEN GOT PAST THE 8 MINUTE MARK LIKE THIS IS TOO FUCKING GOOD AND ITS ONLY A FUCKING FLASHBACK HOLY FUCKING SHIT...THE ART, ANIMATION AND MUSIC ARE JUST GODLY OMFGGGGG EDIT: Okay, I've managed to somewhat calm down now...In all honesty, I'm loving where things are headed with the Green Clan - JUNGLE fucking shit up and messing with everyone and that kid with the scythe is just really great lol 10 out of fucking 10.....Best premiere of the season so far easy...GOAT GOAT GOAT |

Like it doesn't even cover all her ass I miss Kuroh's look in season 1. |

vikki7783 said: I miss Kuroh's look in season 1. Same. I mean he looks pretty cool with his hair down too, but the ponytail is probably more suitable for fighting. He looks like a normal person now with his casual outfit. |
| The amazing art is back! |

 |
| A lovely start. I only faintly remember how the animation was like, but it was pretty to see. And the song that kid was humming in the beginning sounds quite familiar. |
 |
| Damn the visual aspect of this anime never fails to amaze me. That was very nice to look at, especially Yata's skateboarding scenes. There was also more action in this episode than what I was expecting. And holy shit they really ramped up the fanservice with Awashima. Anyway, lets see where the story goes from here... |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |

Ugh, just can't get over how gorgeous this series looks. |
Read Toriko! |
| Hope we get to see the three of them reunited next ep... and more of awashima seri's fanservice..xD |
 |
| That was beautiful....the fan service though.... -_- JUNGLE seems to be very troublesome...~ |

 |
| Yay it's back! I love the action in this series and like the first season, it looks amazing. Really looking forward to it :D |
| Holy shit... that animation and camera work are gorgeous. The fight at the beginning was amazing. Made me melt |
| I don't understand what's happening but the visuals are fantastic. Like holy shit are they trying to blow the whole budget in the first episode or what? Forgot to mention but the OST is great too. |
| OMG that was truly beautiful. Although the framerates dropped quite a lot especially when Kusanagi jumped over the car, it still overwhelms lots of anime. The story finally continues, with Shiro coming back, Can't wait for their reunion. Also, Anna as the red king is very adorable, Having a moe king. They must be really happy. I just want to sleep the whole week and wake up to watch the next episode. I can't live like this.. |
| よろしく！ |
| The fan service was quite overwhelming imo. Was it always like that? Other than that every thing else was good, especially the sound tracks. |

| the animation and music always were the strong points of this show, wow, just incredible. |
| This episode consisted mainly of jiggly boobs & "MISAKIIIII!". I have no idea what's going on but we'll see what happens. As always, the animation is beautiful. Kuroh is still kawaii :) |
| As always, the animation 10/10, OST, 9/10 Better than expected tbh They started with the past Red vs Blue ( did they know i want to see Souh? xD ) Green clan take action and Silver king has descended, cant wait to see more xD |
 |
| The movie upped the level of fan service and it looks like this season will continue that trend. Not complaining though because Seri is one fine looking woman. This episode also hints pretty strongly at the relationship she has with Kusanagi. Not much from Neko or Anna this episode but don't count the cat-girl and the loli out, they'll have lots of screen time this season. We should also see Kukuri make a reappearance soon, probably when Yahiro drops in. Of course the rest of the episode belonged to the bishounen and the animation... This series is great eye-candy, but it's one where it really helps if you've seen both season one and the movie just to understand the tangle of relationships between red and blue and understand why that video made HOMRA so pissed. |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Waited so long for this |
 |
| I found that episode better than the whole first season. Didn't expect that tbh. |

I remember from the missing kings movie neko's and seri's plot where increased in size and they jiggled more lol I was quite bothered such a minor thing.. But the heck.. So. Much. PLOT. This first episode. It DOES NOT fit in at all |

 |
| I don't know if this has a big budget or what, the animation looks really good, one of the best I have ever seen... Makes me wonder why we don't have more shows with this kind of animation |
