LOL, that Bluesy girl transferred to school. I think she's giving a misunderstand impression about her and Justice's relationship as well..

Seriously, episode went lewd already with the boob grab. Guess it shouldn't be much of a surprise to introduce other characters who are familiar with the special tattoos. This felt more or less like a buildup episode imo. They should still tone down the comedy though.

Little yandere-ish looking girl...

The comedy was funny as fuck, i'm not gonna lie even though it was immature LOL
The action scenes have great direction and animation, the art reminds me of Prison School. I liked this episode better than the first.

It's a chance for Seigi get to learn more about that "Tatoo" in his hand and the use of it.
That seems "impossible". LOL

Holy shit, this show still remains impressive with its innovative directing and cinematography(ex the first person shot at the start of episode, the way the exposition is visualized, the absolutely tense street crossing sequence, etc)

There's also something VERY nice in how the show is drawn and shaded. Also dem nice background shots.
These shots alone were breathtaking:


The characters remain snappy and real - loved the MC's freak out at the start, as an example. Very realistic response to the kind of offer he as given to.

Story wise this is huge improvement over the first episode - the plot is becoming more sensible and interesting. The comedic moments also gel with rest of show far better than in the first episode.

5/5

The comedy was a bit excessive, and the boobs part was quite longer than necessary, but overall a nice episode. That ending, though, can't wait for the next episode.

Eternal Breast Envy vs Sadistic Lolicon.. should be a good fight next week XD

Seriously tho.... wtf is with the name "Bluesy Fluesy"? ._.;; Do y'all think that the author realized the homonym to "floozy" when he picked it or it's just an unfortunate coincidence?

edit: .... waitasecond... Bluesy Fluesy goes by the nickname "Izzi" which would be pronounced by Japanese as "I-ji" which is the same as how they'd pronounce the word "easy".... >.> maybe the connection to "floozy" was in fact, intentional. <,<

Those boobs, though.

This show has been surprisingly decent so far to be honest. The comedy wasn't that bad, and the action is still rock solid. That ending, though. It seems like a nuts guy appeared.

I rather enjoyed this episode. Decent visuals and character design as well as a little character building, also I liked that it also showed the kingdom that it mentioned last episode

Also the logic I could come up with on why she said the trigger for his triggerless tattoo was blood was so that he could avoid fighting as a fight would make him wary of loosing blood which would make him feel like he is reducing the risk of activating it and actually reduce the risk of him activating it randomly as he wouldn't need it

It fits considering they literally had a talk about lying to the MC right after.

There is still a lot of 2nd episodes to get to this week but from the ones I have watched.
This has been my favorite so far.
They've established the world, the villain has been shown.
The characters are working and there is a lot of blood and death.
This show should have a horror tag to it in my opinion XD.

Well then, the awkward level of entertaining action continues. Gotta say that I do love the artwork and visuals but...I'm praying this doesn't wind up going the Big Order route. Is it me or is half the cast of this show just people they hired after Big Order finished production. The comedy and fanservice is a nice distraction but hopefully it won't take away too much from the story.
Don't believe the hype.

I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure triggerless is a mistranslation and that it is in fact supposed to be limitless. Need to go check the manga to make sure since its been a while since I read it.

She just told him blood was his trigger but when she talks to the guy he says something about not knowing the entire truth so they prolly lied about the blood being a trigger so he doesn't accidentally trigger it cus if he finds out its trigger less then who knows what could trigger it and devour him

Damn, that was actually really good, better than the first episode. It left me asking a lot of whos and whats. Who's Aryabhata? Who's that girl who took control of Touko? Who is that horny dude after Bluesy? What's going on?

The look and feel of this show is unique, as well.

5/5

And plot is developing fast eh? I've seen princesses of all kind, but a murderous one with a serious conquering mindset that goes as far as murdering her own parents, is on a whole new level. Girl is crazy, yet again I bet that's only the tip of the Iceberg and we may get more revelations about that.

MC is realistic, he gets he's in no normal position, that he can use the power he has for as much of a good as he can as he has been taught, yet he knows he cannot fully trust the Americans, all in all a good reaction.

Izzy is an interesting girl (if we can really call her like that). She isn't overly comical, not also overly serious, more like, she teases people when she can, and beats them into submission when needed. The groping besides the ecchiness is hilarious (I mean a middle aged woman having a major complex about her own unaging body and having a girl much younger than herself having such "assets").

The assassins are real danger, they hold no punches and neither seem to hold back the fact they are evil.

Dang Touko's got some bouncage there.

Always thought Izzy's name was weird. Wonder if it is actually based of anything or the author just doing random shit.

Still wondering how the anime will handle the censorship, and not just the ecchi kind, which get's pretty abundant later on but gore.

Regardless, do enjoy how quickly the show jumps in.

Everyone seemingly believing Bluesy Fluesy as her actual name, considering other characters having somewhat proper western name it's not a stretch to think Bluesy Fluesy is just a completely made up name in-universe. Considering it seems she's having rare disposition it's highly probable she have thrown away her actual name.

Pretty decent follow up, Liked the episode.

Really liking Izzy and Tom, Funny how she transferred into his school before he even accepted the offer.
That boob fondling, Touko got them assets XD
Lol at Seigi getting thrown out the window, There's even a pool below :o

Seems like our antagonist is gonna be a princess, Wonder what she's trying to do.

Action sequences remain really cool to watch, It looks like Touko was possessed at the end there. Tom got stabbed as well.
Wonder if Tom will use his Tattoo to turn around the situation, Hope Touko comes out unscathed.

So much better than the first episode. Action and comedy were on point. Looking forward to next episode.

I didn't pay much attention to the OP visuals last week so I didn't notice. It looks like every Tattoo is related with a unique monster or something which I found to be pretty interesting. Not sure if that's actually the case or not but we'll just have to wait and see. I really like their designs.

I’ve read up to chapter 35 of the manga (why not? It doesn’t take that long to read it), and just like the anime the pacing in the manga isn’t it doing it for me either. Plus, the manga gets worse as it goes on (nonsense on top of more nonsense, and not in a good way. Less martial arts, more supernatural, as well). MC being the worst offender.

I do believe the anime makes the so called comedy moments that are in the manga a lot worse. It’d be great if they would dial that down. For matter fact, why is there even comedy in this?

Frankly, I am still going to give this series a change to see if the anime fixes anything from the manga (pacing being one of them, although so far nothing). It’s wishful thinking, but you never know.

Regarding the episode itself, well... it was an average and short build-up episode for the 2 upcoming short battles.

- Bluesy suddenly transfers to school (it had to happen. We needed that “essential” childhood breast molestation by our female MC... because that’s comedy gold [/s])
- They "introduced" psycho R. R. Lurker and gloomy Iltutmish
- We get a glimpse of princess-gamer Aryabhata (this not saying much, but she is my favorite character, so you could say, in one way or another, that I’m also staying just to see her as well).
- Lurker attacks Bluesy
- Iltutmish gets hold of Touko’s body and then umbrella-attacks otaku Tom, hurting and momentarily incapacitating him in the process

Next episode should be the battle between Bluesy vs. Lurker and Justice vs. controlled-childhood friend Touko. Both fights will more likely be over by the end of it and move on onto the next nonsense scenario.

P.S. They need to change the MCs names because they are ridiculous.

Pretty good episode overall. The animation was on point as usual, as well with the cinematography and animation department. The comedy was solid though as well.

Though some of the bits weren't translated well in the anime subtitles but that's to be expected.
