| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Whoa, this episode was kinda awesome. We got mafia fighting, super powers, and giant robots. The story still feels all over the place but somehow, I'm finding this kinda entertaining:  And oh yeah, bands. No, I was not expanding a band display in this series until now or music as a theme. |
 |
| Bands and mafia and business... of course. Pretty fun episode though. Might be my favorite one from this series so far (even if it makes no sense). 4/5 |
 |
| Very different of the other episodes, I love it! |
| Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than hell itself... that is coffee. My anime list My manga list |
| The worst episode for me so far. Whatever humour they were trying to slip in was plain bad. Band members were getting on my nerves, especially that mushroom Easter Island face guy. I just couldn't feel anything about the plot of this episode. Characters were bland, their "drama" was weak and uninteresting and even the superhuman subplot felt kind of pointless in all of this. Maybe it feels worse than it would otherwise because the last, let's call it arc, had two episodes for the development and this seemed like some pointless filler in comparison. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| This episode did a fine job portraying how many people dreams to save the day in a way, yet the reality that sets in for the small band. From their powers be just plain silly against the mafia, it was definitely different when they destroyed the chocolate as they were able to use their powers in a much more meaningful way. This sort of indirect development, this was actually quite the good episode. Even the second rate has their moment in the spotlight, the three at the end never gave up anything they deemed important. |
 |
| Good episode, felt a bit more weak than the others though. Maybe because it only portrayed new characters. |
| "Laughter is the key to longevity." Different than the other episodes, felt sort of like a filler. |
 |
| Didnt like this episode as much as the previous ones but it was good for the most part and was pretty refreshing Really liked the theme of the episode too and I like how the band stuck to their resolve even in the end |
| Really interesting premise, but if this remains as a single episode, it'd just be filler. As you can tell with Comet Lucifer also this season, filler in a original anime is usually never good. However, unlike Comet this seems to be getting a 2nd cour (or so I heard) so they MAYBE could get back to this. I'd personally want to see that all-female band explained. What makes them different enough to warrant being officially recognized? As for my feelings on this first half, it kind of disappoints me. Episodes 4 and 5 were pretty good but the rest were kind of meh. This episode had great action but not much else. The jokes weren't that funny in my eyes. Ironically like Comet this is getting a 6 for now. But I feel like this is going to be the show that will get better later on, considering Bones has a much better track record than 8bit. (Captain Earth and Soul Eater Not were things tho) |

| Well, that was interesting..... |
 |
| They really didn't care when their fellow band member Dee died, huh? |
 |
| I really don't know how to feel about this episode, kinda boring i guess, but i still love this show and have high hopes for it. |
| Amazing how people find this pointless while they praise the shtty cowboy bebop episodes that were even more pointless XD Jirou confirmed to be gathering superhumans to fight the superhuman bureau :O Don was awesome :O 2nd rate is still good :'( And the Dee guy looked like Jesus, seriously? :( he even died to save them :'( R.I.P. YW said: They really didn't care when their fellow band member Dee died, huh? What were they supposed to do? cry for the whole ep? |
 |
| Another great episode. We finally get confirmation for Future Jiro's goal(collecting superhuman force to fight hte Bureau) and we get a nice story about normal average guys getting to live the "dream of having superpowers" and seeing that reality is nothing like comic books. YW said: They really didn't care when their fellow band member Dee died, huh? THey reacted like real people. They were shocked and then too busy to save their lives. And then they actually asked reparations for death of their friend. |

 |
| Nice episode, almost soft in comparation previews, perfect to relax a little. Very funny, although the timeskipping still brothering me. |
| I am Argentine, so is not very good my English, sorry for the many typing errors. |
| So Jiro has confirmed that hes collecting superhumans, planning to take down the Bureau. I think 1) the ending, and 2) when they show Jiro's tipping point are going to be great episodes. |
~my list
| Decent episode, enjoyed the action scene. Liked how they portrayed the band members. |
  |
| Another complete cluster! It was fun to watch, but if you want to keep up with the... uh... storyline, good luck. |
 |
| It's really sad to see it at a rating of 6.55. It's not the best thing ever but compared to other show this season, it deserves way more than this. Normally 6.55 is still fine and all but for MAL standard, that rating is pretty fuckin shit. |

| We now know that Jirou left the bureau no later than the 44h bureau. Other than that I don't think this episode contributed much to the overall story considering these characters don't seem to be recurring ones. Still a decent episode. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

While this episode did not move the plot forward or anything, I think it works well with the story so far in that it was showing more sides of the superhumans. All the other superhumans we've seen were making some sort of impact as heroes, but these people who randomly got powers ended up staying normal people, using their powers for comedy, to make people laugh. We also learned that people don't talk about superhumans in the open like they used to, there's censorship. Most importantly, we found out (or confirmed) that Jirou is trying to gather superhumans to defeat the Bureau. It's not my favorite episode so far, but it's still a pretty good one. |
| The best part of this episode was how their friend and bandmate just FUCKING DIED and absolutely NOBODY gives a shit. They spend more time using him as collateral for blackmail money then even mentioning that the guy just kicked it "Where's Dee?" "lol he's ded" |
| Well the theme of seemingly righteous acts being undermined by suspicious ulterior motives once again rears its head here in the form superhuman suppressant candies. There a few things I found rather strange about this ep. One being how Don was easily willing to sell his principles just to stay afloat, yet decides to go against his bosses when they offer him a huge deal to shut the mouths of him and his bandmates. Maybe the burden of guilt from achieving success like that would be too much? I guess that's probably it. Also they didn't too disturbed when one of their bandmates sacrificed his life to help them. Not really liking how all the "corrupt" people in this series are being portrayed as shallow boogeymen though. The only reason Don figured out the truth is because he happened to listen in on his bosses explaining their evil plot to each other (says a lot about the exposition issues this show has too on occasion). Jiro is also now confirmed to be compiling his own anti-superhuman bureau gang now. We'll see where that goes later I guess. Nice to see he isn't a complete edgelord now that he's defected against his former gang. Just goes to show that it really is more of an ideological issue he has with the bureau then a personal one. He's no Sasuke Uchiha at least. |

| This episode felt kinda pointless |
| Goofy episode, kind of fun but yeah it ultimately is just filler |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. 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 |
| Nice episode, though it did seem somewhat like a filler, and not enough Kikko :~( |
| R.I.P. metal statue guy |
| That felt weaker than previous episodes. But hey we got to know that the time Jiro is going to leave the Bureau is near. If Year 42 is considered as the "present", then it's going to need at most 2 years for Jiro to leave the Bureau. We're getting closer to the truth. |

| "HAHAHA, our friend just died. Let's ignore this and continue as if nothing happened." So by now this show is not only G Reco tier incomprehensible, but also features some disgustingly resolved subplots. Great... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| This was a meh as hell episode. :/ |

madmotor said: Love&Peace.This ep is about Hippie movement in Japan. In 1966(Shinka era 41),the Beatles performed a concert in Japan. Yep, The Quartet is the Beatles. Funny thing about that time: "The polite and restrained Japanese audiences shocked the band, because the absence of screaming fans allowed them to hear how poor their live performances had become" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgt._Pepper%27s_Lonely_Hearts_Club_Band |

I guess they aren't superhumans for nothing. |

| This episode was really fun, if this isn't a reference to the beatles i dunno what is |
| They just should rename the title to References: The Anime. References are basically fuel and source of this anime, but the aspect of plots eaten up by references for the sake of references is getting more apparent. It's still enjoyable anyway. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| lol he gave the robbers a massage and wait he really died?! they're not even sad what the hell? |
 |
| I really enjoyed this episode! I thought concrete revolutio's first few eps were sort of confusingly put together and paced too fast but now things are starting to come together and its getting better and better! Although it seems like saying that puts me in the minority. I agree it was really weird how they just made a joke and left after Dee died tho, what the heck Even if you want to consider this a "pointless filler", we're still getting some information about the ad agency lady's intentions, past events (i'll be surprised if we dont see more superhumans who got their powers from the year 41 concert), and the general public feeling towards superhumans I guess. but ok it was filler. anyway I've borrowed someone's timeline from an earlier thread and updated it. Do let me know if I messed up anywhere! TIMELINE SO FAR: Year 14, Oct - jiro's foster father is sent to an island in the indian ocean on imperial orders, encounters gagon Year 17, Aug - US army sends superhumans to fight gagon Year 29, Nov - tokyo burns.

Year 42, Jul - master ultima's space beasts have been reproduced for military. beast dies at US base in okinawa, carcass stolen Year 42, Aug - megagon is created from stolen carcass, and rampages and kills humans during student rally. end of "beast craze".

It may look like a filler for some but as explained above, if well executed, a "filler" episode can contribute to a richer narrative. (And personally I find this show's storyline pretty interesting so far) I'm enjoying this show a little bit more with each new episode. |
| I'm in love with this show.Jirou reminds me of someone popular but I cant recall whom.Also his hairstyle is awesome |

| 臭い- |
| Really nice story this episode. Not everyone who has the ability to do something, should do just that. At least the comic band is still making a living, and im happy for them. |
