Ok so I just saw episode 13.....

spoiler[Wow what the a freaky ass episode....I am hoping that this action (the twins and whoevers behind it) can start a change of events that I have been looking for. And my god those children were down right dirty....makes me want to cleanse my soul after watching that...]

Just saw ep. 13 myself. Needless to say, everything carries over like the series never even took a break. It still has that dark and gritty feel to it, only with a different little story arc now.

As for the content spoiler[ we get to see yet another sickly incestuous pair of twins. Although personally, I think they're a lot more sadistic than the ones from Shakugan no Shana. The vampire theme they have going ties in well to their bloodlust as well.

I'm not really disgusted by their mindsets and actions, though I am inclined to witness and root for Balalaika and her army shoot the crap out of them. Seeing as how those two act so cruel and senseless, I'm sure torture won't mean a thing to them should it be given.

More than likely, they'll end up getting killed by a mixture of Balalaika, Black Lagoon, and a giant group of people who were wanting that bounty. For another 12 episodes, though, I just hope they end it quickly. I'm curious to see what other kinds of stories and characters this franchise has to offer. I would hate for the limited amount of episodes to bog down this possiblity.]


But still, it's pretty good stuff.

I went back and looked through the entire scene of the little girl shooting and when I saw from a diffrent angle it did look like a BAR course looking at from other angles it looks like alot of things. Wheres Rªdì¢âl_£Ð when you need him/her. Laughing I do have another question though: I'm not sure if I heard the little girl right but when she said "I've never put an Ivan in before" what did she mean, maybe the subbers miss translated something...unless she meant what I think she meant.

Sorry for interrupting the flow of the convo on this thread (if that makes any sense), but I have a question.

While the subbing group is listing the 1st ep of the 2nd season "Episode 13," ANN is listing the 2nd season as a separate series entirely. Which one is it? I know it doesn't really matter, but it's just something that I'd like to make sure of.

In any case, I can't wait to start the 2nd season, as it looks very promising. Smile

The group in question (I think I know who you are talking about) probably did that just to make things simple so that everyone would know it's starting sometime after episode 12.....although it strange to me that this get a second entry, and 2nd gig didn't. I guess because techinically there was a break inbetween episodes showing?

The episode title card itself says "#13 The Vampire Twins Comen" actually, I don't think they even had to translate the text as it's in English...well sorta English anyway as Comen means "They eat" in Spanish. So I'd be inclined to believe it's all one title as far as Madhouse is concerned.

I think I have found the gun makes sense since its bulgarian...its even in my game "Operation Flash Point", but can anyone verify it with there own eyes to make sure? Of course you'll have to picture it without the tripod.

It could mean something else in another language, but come (prounounced Co may) in Spanish means "to eat" and adding an "en" suffix to it is like the Spanish version of a pronoun attaching "they" to the meaning of the word. It would definitely be a fitting title given the severely screwed up nature of the two twins.

"The vampire Twins Eat", would be the basic meaning of their Spanglish if I were to translate it to something that makes sense, just to clarify things. If one wants to be less literal and more eloquent though eat would be replaced with feed or feast though.

Yes, the machine gun is a Browning Automatic Rifle. Also, how does that last pic look like a Dragunov? The Dragunov is basically an AK47 except with a longer match-grade barrel, no provision for full automatic fire, and chambered in 7.62x54R as opposed to 7.62x39. Compared to the BAR, the Dragunov has a gas chamber above the barrel, a pistol-like grip, and a hand guard around the barrel and gas chamber.

I can't. That machine gun is belt fed and has a pistol grip while the BAR is magazine fed and has a traditional rifle grip.

Besides, nationality is typically the last thing one would think of when purchasing firearms unless you're very patriotic.
