| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This anime just has brilliant storytelling. Little by little it builds the story and even minor characters have important roles to play. The relationship between Harry and Brandon reminds me a lot of the one between Guts and Griffith in Berserk. |

| Can't believe Brandon and Maria didn't get together. All that "I will be happy for him" is crap. Anyway, the story is great so far. |

Marzan said: The relationship between Harry and Brandon reminds me a lot of the one between Guts and Griffith in Berserk. I agree. This anime keeps reminding me of Berserk and the game Mafia II. |

| Quite a nice episode, let's see what's next! |
 |
| Harrys on that Raoh level ambition, While I'm not a huge fan of his new look I definitely like how assertive Brandon's gotten. |
| I think it's odd that Brandon likes Maria but doesn't go after her, and it's clear that she also have feelings for him. And Brandon changed a lot, the haircut and glasses give him a serious vibe. Harry is dating Sherry, no surprise. And it was obvious that he could keep the doctor working in the dead alive... |
 |
| Not the biggest fan of these timeskips. |
 |
| Really Harry, you just had to go for the kid? Otherwise the buildup is spectacular. The divide in interests between Harry and Brandon has been very subtle but given plenty of attention. I don't even mind the sci-fi aspect at this point, it's being integrated into the plot nicely. |
 |
| Oh Harry you swine...and Brandon you idiot. |
 |
| Clear Guts and Griffith connection here, it isn't done nearly as perfect mostly due to pacing, but it's still done very well. This is likewise, a story of intersecting ambitions that have no limits. Both anime have a mostly fully fleshed out and beautifully characterized cast which drive the story as well. I love Brandon's new look, he would be a good Daddy. I can only hope the new use of supernatural elements will be a little better than the mess it was at times before. |
| I don't like where this whole business with Maria and Brandon is going... Looks like Harry is close to his goal and ready to move. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| The Guts and Griffit parallels are definitely there. Sherry = Casca? xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Harry really doesn't age well does he ? If I'm right, they said it's been 3 years since the Necrolyzation incident, so a total of 8-10 years since the 2nd episode. Brandon and Harry seemed to be in their late teens/early twenties but after 10 years they look like they're in their 40s. Also a reminder that Sherry can't be more than 17 or 18 in this. It's even creepier when you realise they probably started dating well before this episode. |
| Damn Harry is making his moves, in every bad ways possible, I just can't wait for a Brandon - Harry confrontation |
 |
| Another timeskip? I thought Harry would've aimed to acquire the power of necrolyzation immediately after the conflict with Lightning, so I wonder why it was thought of as neccessary. We also know that he really likes his hot chocolate, so to speak. Bear is right to not trust Sherry with this guy. Harry is shady even for a mafioso. Maria's been out of focus for ages now. This episode did reveal her to be somewhat resourceful when it comes to information gathering, but she's still lacking in much character outside of being a kind woman. The dearth of screentime she gets probably doesn't help. |

| Absolutely insane episode, the story moves so fast into doom. The Cthuluesque angle of necrolization adds so much, and it’s all finally been tied together. Maybe it isn’t bebop but it’s still a very impressive series. Straight into hell. But freedom sounds scary in this context, for whom exactly? lol. |
