| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- FINALLY. Shiro arrives. I don't why but his reunion with Kuro felt a bit...odd. I mean, it must be odd with the way he just showed up. Neko's embrace to him didn't surprise me though. She looks so damn happy to see him lol  Pacing felt kinda slow again although having Shiro back does change the atmosphere somewhat. His personality changed quite a bit from his original debut imo. |
 |
| It took a while for 3some battle to realize white king's sword. Green king told him to get off. After brief reunion, he immediately asked two kings' help. Report of 2nd king passing away (from the movie), and it is somehow related to Green king acting out. They agreed. Later, white king asked blue king if he can be any help on protecting something I couldn't catch up (stone coffin or something?) but got refused because he ran away. 25:57 (two mins. late) next. Action begins? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Everyone teaming up to fight Nagare and it looks like things are officially going to be uphill from here and I can't wait. Sukuna is rather powerful little kid to take on both Fushimi and Yata without breaking a sweat. Kuroh is such a waifu when it comes to Shiro and Neko is like their pet cat. xD |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I can't stop thinking that they burned all their budget on episode 1 flashy animation. So. We get another exposition talk. Another cut off battle (they used up all the time for action in ep 1) Then we get scene copypasted from the previous episode. Then we get OOC Shiro and Kuroh. Then another exposition talk, because why not. In the meantime of coffee table exposition we get more old, copypasted scenes (including Shiro jumping from the sky for the fourth time, because why the hell not) from previous eps and season 1. Then another exposition talk, Munakata looking down on Shiro (not bad idea, bad execution). Then another old scene from season 1 and OOC Shiro, because why not. Then FINALLY we get Shiro more resembling Shiro and Kuroh more resembling Kuroh (though it's still not the same thing). And Neko needs longer skirt. So we get: bad writing (especially the exposition talking, and talking, and talking...), reused scenes, bad action choreography. It's simply boring at this point. This season is nowhere near as good as season 1 and movie. I am really disappointed. At this rate we will get the actual plot in episode 11, and the rest will be expsosition. God. Still, it's best ep so far. Even this version of Shiro makes everything better. EDIT: I forgot to mention of all the shots of the buildings which always happen in the middle of the talk. It makes it painfully clear where the TV commercials are supposed to fit. Oh, and Yata seems to be levitating in the fight at the beginnig, while Fushimi is teleporting. Oh well. |

| Shiroooooooooo! |
| Munakata firing shots at Shiro at the end lol...Glad to see that Shiro took it well though Sukuna vs Yata and Fushimi continued with a bang and man the choreography and animtion was top notch yet again this week....Both sides did great but man Sukuna man handed them both so easily at the end =o That's awesome Second half we got a lot of discussion but I really liked what I saw....The reunion of the Silver Clan was sweet and the round table of the three clans went very well and I love how they're all in an alliance now Look out Green Clan because you're about to get REKT......Overall great episode and I love the setup that it brought |

| the story progress is slow, i hope it speed up the pace a little bit |
| Good episode, and interesting build up now that they are going to team up against the Green Clan. But I also agree with what was already said; it seems really slow to me, too. And that running gag with Kuro and his recordings, I missed it :3 |
| I'm feeling thank you |
| An alright reunion. From there, Shiro meets with the Blue and Red clans. Progress seems to be especially slow so far, with just waiting for another episode where it doesn't explore as much as I hope. |
 |
| Great epiosde. The reunion...poor Kuroh he just wanted to say stuff formally then Neko just jumps in and does the complete opposite xD The bird was creepy. |
Araneae said: So we get: bad writing (especially the exposition talking, and talking, and talking...), reused scenes, bad action choreography. It's simply boring at this point. I feel like this applies to the first season too, but that's just my opinion :P Well the writing in this season makes the first season's seem so much better. There's simply too many unimportant scenes, such as the plenty of Neko glomping Shiro in this episode (or Fushimi and Yata arguing yet again), we know how much Neko misses Shiro, but it feels as if those shots are just there to take up time. And the action choreography has always just been lots of spinning combined with odd cinematography. I noticed a few weird shakey camera zoom-ins on Fushimi when he was fighting in this episode, that was just awkward to look at. I liked the Ichigen-sama recording joke though, it always makes me chuckle. Nice too see Shiro gather Munakata and Anna too for an alliance of fighting against the Green clan. I really want to know what Nagare has against Shiro. Looks like Munakata doesn't have a lot of faith in Shiro either, which is interesting as well as understandable. Time to beat up some Green clan members next episode! |
| I enjoyed all the Neko head patting. I wonder who the Usagi were bowing to in the next episode preview. |

 |
| Aww no Shiro and Kuroh hug why not -.- no fair |
 |
| Finally reunion. Now, it's time for the Green clan to turn into ashes. |
 |
| Neko so moe |

Who cares because Shiro is back. Good old Shiro/ Weismann THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I thought it was a black outfit not green. Meh. Why did the colour change? |

| Clan team up against the Green Clan Yata and Fushimi working together OMG <3333 |
| Slow paced episode. Neko was too cute though :3 and missed Kuroh's fascination over Ichigen-sama. XD |
 |
| Quite disappointing really. I was hoping to see Shiro acting up, but he really felt spineless in this episode. |
| Pretty much just more exposition and buildup in this episode with the alliance between the red, blue, and silver clans. Hopefully the show starts to pick the pace up a little bit, I don't want the rest of the story to be rushed or anything like that. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Not going to see the silver king in a fight for awhile. Good episode, very slow and deliberate pace this season. Much different than before. |
 |
| i have alot of complain about this episode, but well, for the love of season 1. i'll keep quite for a few more episodes..... Episode theme #Nekoass |
 |
| Nothing really happened :# |
 |
| Behold, the knights of the rectangular coffee table! (perfect for tea and panties) Lol i didn't believe it when people said nothing happened, but actually nothing really happened... Taking slow is good, but that felt like it was just filling time. The robots got some screen time finally... they were more amusing in s1 though. "You're too kind." |

| I laughed so much when Neko's panties landed on Kuro's head. Shiroshiroshiroshiroshiroshiroshiroshiroshiroshiroshiro. HE IS BEAUTY. HE IS GRACE.  I mean LOOK AT HIM!  My babies. |
 |
| Boring in general (I love shows which are all about talking, but in this one nothing really happens) I just watched it for Neko. I don't know whether I will be able to watch it till the end. And animation is going worse and worse. Seriously. From the beginning of this season animation and 3D concentration are awful, but now, that 3D cleaning robots, camera angles and characters movement gave me tears of blood. Probably worst show which I picked in this season (worst looking for sure) . |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Neko's panties fell on Kuro's head lol and all the three clan are working together now cool |
 |
| Err that was slow paced and kinda boring. Or was it just me or the animation seemed worse in this one? Tho I really loved moe Neko <3 |
 |
| Blue King putting people in their places, I gotta respect the guy he takes responsibilities for his actions and never runs away so I can accept when he bitchslap other characters who cause problems. |

| I want to cry watching this ep T^T It felt so painful watching the same scenes over and over and over again... I'm this close to dropping this series for good. Also, the snail pace *cries* I give this episode a solid 1 because it's THAT painful watching it Inugirlz said: dnascot said: So Shiro jumped off the ship with a green outfit with a different designs.

Araneae said: phoe_enix said: Shiro coat is dark green when he jumps from the sky but white when he lands in ep 3. His shirt also changes colour.What green outfit? Eh, I thought it was black... the green tint must have come from the light from the sun. Meh. Whatever color it originally was supposed to be, we now know that Shiro has a good amount of spare time between the free falling from the airship and the nose-diving on ep 3. So he went shopping, yeah? Though I prefer the theory of him using super-king power to bleach his outfit. |
| Did Anyone else notice that Shiro had a boner at 9:06 when Neko was holding him? |
Read Toriko! |
| Rip animation during fight scenes lol. Gets all blurry during fights in a way. |
 |
| Wasn't that discussion between the three Kings supposed to be a very serious talk about a very serious matter at hand? It all felt just so casual... |
| Ah the fateful reunion went pretty much how I expected, Neko(God, I love her) clinging to Shiro and Kuro playing the Tsundere card. I wonder how powerful the green king is. I feel like the fact that he's in restraints, has something to do with it. Neko is love, Neko is life. |

| i laughed my ass off at the beginning of the "coffee table conference" haha. |
 |
| I'm like meh~ I prefer first season's pacing, at least it kept it interesting. For this though, it feels like you know something epic is going to happen in the end, but you don't know what. Neko and Shiro is so cute together, all the head petting was great but I hated the hugging... Kuroh acts like the only sane man in Sliver Clan lol. Neko has a mysterious past. I actually like Sukuna a lot but I still don't understand how a 13 year old is so proficient with the scythe that he can take on two adults...Green Clan is really strong...gosh, I wish he ends up joining Sliver Clan for some reason. He treats everything like a game and I really wonder why, something is off with him. |
 |
| Finally Shiro is back. It seems that he got a bit tall lol. Pretty disappointing that neither Fushimi nor Yata could beat that annoying shota. |
| Yay, this was kinda cute :3 Aquane said: Agreed.Pretty disappointing that neither Fushimi nor Yata could beat that annoying shota. |
