Yeah, Blood War is a joke and his followers are more stupid than him. Other than that it is a solid show. We all knew sci-fi part was coming sooner or later.

It was good while it lasted : / Let's see how the show does from here on out.

Please get out of my show right now Blood War. He's a zany cartoonish villain who has an actual evil laugh. He looked like a maniacal villain the second he left jail. He's never humanized this episode, every other character for the most part has had so many little moments and care put into humanizing them, he never once felt like a real person.
I praised this show on its moral ambiguity and cast and its grounded way to tackle themes such as violence and death, analyzing what they mean rather than focusing on them for rule of cool. Now I think I might of been entirely wrong, I really hope Blood War dies and is not a main antagonist, he goes against what the anime has been built on. And Lightening is making super soldiers out of dead bodies? I thought this was a grounded show. I know I skipped the first episode but jeez, so many red flags.
At the very least our doctor that Ladd kidnapped comes back into the show, I guess this has some foreshadowing...?

Another set of characters introduced out of nowhere for the plot to keep going. Not to mention the supernatural elements - just showing it in the first episode is not enough if you make the stuff before it fully realistic and then just suddenly switch. This Blood War guy and his killing of subordinates is pretty ridiculous and yet another of this show's attempts of rule of cool that ends up in an utter failure.

Cheers.

So we get some new characters and a new story direction. Blood war is a lunatic and the super solider plot was something that I wasn't expecting from this anime, but I guess if you're trying to take down brandon and millennion you have to take things to the next level.

Not as enjoyable as the last episode but I'm interested to see what happens next.

Ok lets forget for a moment that those idiotic followers of Blood War just stood casually while he killed them one by one... what I really don't get is just how many bullets can that bastard's guns fire before he needs to reload them... I mean wth?


Okay, it was pretty clear they sacrificed themselves. Yeah seems stupid but there are people blowing themselves up for imaginary sky gods so whatevs.

I noticed Brandon has long hair now, did I missed a time skip or something?

There was a timeskip in episode 7. It's been approximately 5+ years since the second episode.

Oh yes I almost forgot about the monster stuff at the beginning, seems like that Blood War guy could be the next or the main antagonist of the series...

This guy's name is Blood War? You serious?

Whatever Vulcan and Lightning did to mutate that dog is probably what will eventually result in the Orgmen. Can't help but being intrigued at the innovations and realisations that come from these experiments.

You can see here Harry interested on learning the secret to get ahead; not to climb up Millennium without betraying them.
