THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
When you're trying to find RAWs for this show, and nobody even bothers about it, it's saying something.

AND...we're back to the censored kiss...and Episode 1 levels of cringe with the Natsuki-Alma android thingie-a-bob with that whole 3D wok scene. Isn't it great when you still watch 2D scenes but with 3D characters and it looks so distorted and ugly?

Another instance of a human using Ex-Arms and going ham, and a drastic story change from the manga once again (though instances are kept the same).

AHAHAHA remember the AWESOME PV scene made for this? Majority of those scenes were from this episode LOLS, from the fight between Alma and Elmira to the UN forces mechs and the Bi-Pod attacking the anti-forces, so hilariously lifeless.

LELS...2D, 3D, or CG, I don't even know what's this anymore.

No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas.
Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End
nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites.
Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!

That was a dangerous maid, she even uses a battlesuit. Also that guy/Ex arm did it, he got into it.

I love how they show a shot of a missile going into a car and instead of having the missile blow up when it hits the car, it goes through the car and then blows up

HOLY WHAT A CLIFFHANGER FINALLY WE GET PURPLE ROBOT ADAPTED NEXT EPISODE IS GOING TO BE INSANE

I love how the maid’s mouth wasn’t even animated half the time, it’s lovely.

Also am I the only one who noticed that when Alma/Akira did a backflip to avoid the giant robot’s thingy, Alma’s nipples were erect? Don’t know why that’s the case but sure.

Whenever I start an episode of Ex-Arm, the opening always helps me get in the mood for watching hot trash.

Guys, I have noticed the pattern!
So far, characters made in 2D turned out to be antagonists.
The only exception was MC's brother in the 1st episode. Could this be foreshadowing?

Anyway, I'm really afraid of this ecchi tag and that they'll unleash it at us.

@KANLen09 Pretty sure this episode used up all the budget for the series lmao

@Piromysl It has an ecchi tag? Maybe explains why Alma had erect nipples in that one scene. Tbh I’m fine with more ecchi, at least there’s something to enjoy while watching the show besides how utter garbage everything is lol.


Love how it’s been 1 hour since the episode was released and there are only 4 votes, all being 1/5 in the poll lmao. I thought people were really hyped about this show?

Nice smoke effect they kept using. Someone was really proud of it I bet. Also they censored the kiss again. Do the animators suck that much that they can't even get something simple like a kiss right? Well they made up for it in the Alma vs Maid girl fight. Felt so nostalgic after seeing it in the trailer. This show really knows how to tug at my heartstrings.

5/5 a better mecha than Muv-Luv Alternative and AoT.

It's not a censored "kiss", it's simply terrible animation and weird effects. Just watch the lips right after the "kiss", it's just a terrible face design. And what's up with their mouths during the dinner?
I feel that this is turning into a "spot the weirdness" marathon session.

There is a reason why AOT and Ex-Arm air on the same day. Masterpieces should be aired together.

The happiest moment of my week is when I hear "hello, hello", I know I'll have 20 minutes of fun after hearing that.

This episode was EPIC, maid-sama did not disappoint, not only she was an espetacular martial artist, but also had Ex-Arm level of technology AND a giant mecha. Can it get any better?

Yes, it CAN. Akira conquers his fears, remembers his brothers thoughts in a very emotional scene that made me cry, and then goes on to ride a giant fucking robot? IT'S THE ONE FROM THE TRAILER. MORE EPICNESS AWAITS NEXT EPISODE, FOLKS.

Oh my god they censored TWO kiss scenes this time! Is it really that hard to animate a kiss? And don't get me started on the other shit, like the car asorbing a missile. I wish I could make a GIF of that, but I don't know how because I'm dumb.

Truly the SF series to end all others, my only complaint so far is that it's not going fast enough like did we really need that scene to introduce Nguyen? They could just have had him appear out of nowhere like everything else.
Seriously it takes talent to have an animation so atrocious that you have to "censor" kisses to hide the fact that the 2 models are just clipping into each other, yet animation isn't the worst aspect of your show.

After watching this and reading the manga, I can understand why did was made in 3D. The hate this anime is getting is unacceptable. Seems like anime fans have lost their way too.

The production of this anime is trying to be innovative, something that Anime seriously needs because you won't find a quality produced anime nowadays. Even Attack of Titan looks worse than ever and that's bad.
Anime productions are expensive and are too much effort. The creativity this series has been putting is admirable for a low budget anime.

I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out as a very important anime in the history. The actions scenes while lacking in quality are amazing. If it is true that they are using a game engine for this anime (I can't confirm it yet) then this anime is trying, something I can't say for most of the anime shows right now.

It will only be a matter of time before we see anime studios start using game engines to create anime shows and for the sake of anime I hope that is soon because anime is dying. We need innovation, not condemnation. AOT, Yashahime and any other popular future anime series will not save it. The so called big budget animations of today can't compete with the productions a decade ago. There's no more consistency is anime.

Another very subpar episode and awful looking episode once again. Terrible visuals always insult the actual story and it completely kills off any chance of anyone getting fully immersed.

Every time a 2d character gets put next a cgi character it feels like a big middle finger towards the audience. It's like "hey, we actually know how to do things that aren't in cgi but too bad. Sucks to suck"

A train wreck requires the train to have been moving on the track to begin with. This train never got on to the tracks. It was half made and the company cancelled production and then it was scrapped.

Nope, Ex-Armu already hit the botton, with 2.23 and now went back to 2.24.


It is bad, but since it is gaining kitsch-cult admiration ("so bad that is good") the number of 10.0 is rising and ironically recovering it's score.

Alright, I watched the first 3 episodes so I can drop it with no remorse. I would stick around if I could get some enjoyment out of how bad it is, but it is just boring for the most part. Not to mention how passionless it all feels, nothing to stick around for.

I might be the only one but I kinda enjoy these fight scens. Mostly the one with the maid this time, because despite the lacking animation the choreography is pretty exciting. I'm not saying that it's a masterpiece or anything but it's a positive surprise that I didn't expect when I started this series.
