So the opening's the same kind of song type as Nobunagun. It's not bad, but I prefer songs where I can make out the lyrics somewhat. As for the episode itself, jumping from
Nanami's almost instant death
to a beach episode is a huge tonal shift. But I got swimsuit fanservice out of it, so I'll consider this episode a win overall.

hahahaha this show is so dumb, I can't help but love it. Another crazy tone shift, but it seems par for the course.

lol at the ED... Was (spoiler kinda from the first 5 min or so of episode.)
Nanami always a ghost there?
 
I'm currently watching the list of her roles so far , i only see a bunch of favorites right now
So many roles where i liked her , momohime from muramasa, mila maxwell , mint blamanche from galaxy angel !

Just thinking about it put a smile on my face.

For me I loved her as Celty from Durarara and Serika from Space Bros.

She even voiced Apo!

Avdol ;_; Definitely did not see that one coming.
Great episode, really enjoying the pace lately. New villain characters and stands are excellent, hope they are more of a continued storyline rather than being resolved in the next few episodes.

CG opening was a bit jarring, but the rest of the episode definitely made up for it. It's all coming together and I love it.

The first one reminds me a lot of a Patlabor setting. Hopefully the show captures at least some of that, where the mechs are also machines which have to be maintained by people. The second one has really natural and interesting expressions. Not something you usually see in an anime group pose of this sort.

Great two back characters, still one of the most anticipated shows of the season.

Sad that they didn't use the sword can't beat gun joke. Also,
looks like they toned down the gun shot so it doesn't seem as fatal as it was in the manga.

Though the friction between the characters was rougher than it's been for a while, the tone was consistent with what came before. Also, Saki wishes she could marry Kaori, and that alone is enough for me to give this episode a pass.

Apart from the atrocious CG in the beginning, this actually was a really good episode. I'm not super fond of this anime, but it was really interesting. The story of the monster is giving me some Kyousogiga vibes, though I liked Kyousogiga a lot more.

I kinda knew that thing at the beginning of the episode was going to happen. Obligatory bathing suit/beach scene, followed by more of what makes this anime really awesome. It's more twisted than Elfen Lied. I can't wait for next week!

I'm sure this thread was filled with gifs of the terrible fight scene in this episode. Good god. But the last 2 minutes... shit got REAL!

Everything still isn't resolved, and Kujo is still a jerk after given an explanation.

The Shogo and Yamagishi scene was nice though.

Don't get me wrong, Anya is cool as hell and I love her to pieces, but I feel like I'm starting to favor Meme x Tsugumi more than Anya x Tsugumi. Her issue of forgetting shit aside, she has that warm caring nature and tends to be the first one to respond to Tsugumi's troubles and overall it makes their pairing feel more natural and believable.

Boss battle! If only the tennis sakuga during the matches was as good as the stuff in the OP...

Also, during one of Miyagawa's internal monologues, Kakihara's voice took on an very familiar tone:
They're probably leaning on the "commentators watching from off-court to explain everything" a bit too much, but it means Natsu gets more dialogue so that's okay.

Dungeon World is pretty good with its AU versions of our favorings. Dancing Magician TetsuYO and Craftsman Baku were fun. There were a few characters missing so next episode should hopefully have them.

Will miss Buddyfight next week since its taking a one week break :(

I thought that said "Cajuner" for a second. That would clearly be the right class to choose.

Well, I know strictly speaking they've got to a couple of them before the Evil Kiss Squad did, but Teppei doesn't feel like he counts since he's such a special case, being on the good guys' side for years before the Designer Children: Gotta Catch 'Em All spree even started, and as for poker guy, I'm not sure if they even realised he was the guy they were looking for until after he became eeeevil.

When I say "find" the Designer Children before the bad guys do, I mean "find and actually make a legitimate attempt at preventing them from being awakened". Preferably by explaining to them that they're in danger of being turned into psycho aliens who want to eat all of humanity, and hoping that they're human enough to be strongly opposed to this notion.

I got what you meant, just joshing. The biggest hurdle for them is that there is no way to distinguish them from a normie human. The only reason the bad guys know where they're at/who they are... is because they know who they are and/or remember them.

Also, last night's One Piece... 15 minutes of show is not enough for 4 storylines. They're all converging together so thank fucking god. Still pretty hype.

This is a few days old, but apparently Funimation is going to be adding some Ping Pong T-Shirts based on a vote to their store. If they're actually adding merchandise from it to their store, it might be doing well streaming. Hopefully that's a good sign for a possible Blu-Ray release.
