I like how despite being so fast-paced, the series still manages to keep weight to stuff, it doesn't feel rushed.

...And that little show that no one was paying any attention to grew up into a big Bahamut. His ratings were high and so were the Blu-Ray sales. And they all watched happily ever after.

An excellent show this season, I have yet to be disappointed thus far.

I got the distinct impression that Rita was controlling the spoiler[zombie crab, who had been killed by Amira.] Was I just imagining that?
Either way, I loved the spoiler[Creatures from the Black Lagoon vs Zombies] melee battle.

I'm pretty sure she has to actually turn things into zombies while they're still alive, not just reanimate them once they're dead. |

You're probably right. But that staff she was using seemed to have other powers, so that's kind of why I was thinking that.

Anyone else getting a Piedmon/Dark Masters vibe from Azazel and the alternate dimension? (group of villains sitting around in a dark place watching the heroes, main dude drinking wine on a throne)

Fantastically fun ride of a series and Hellsing Ultimate {to draw a name out of a banner ad} could have learned a lot about how to do badass spectacle: Have the situation and violence and plot dwarf the protagonists rather than the other way.
There's always something with these reviews; Ok, all bad feelings from their past relation {friends from different social classes and all} are from Kaisar and there's no reason Favaro would be unwilling to help him- except for the fact that he is Favaro {Who's a good example, ah Gokudo; If you're on fire, he'd probably urinate on you but that's only probably.} Gokudo, yeah, certainly some parallels... Awesome series, needs a rescue. Favaro, yeah, jerk who's deep down a really big jerk. But he's the hero by the fact Kaisar's not qualified because of his "kill first, ask questions later" revenge fix. But even with Favaro being Favaro, he still wants to see Kaisar as his friend. At a distance, far far away... |

If anyone compares Bahamut to any other anime based on a 'children's' playing card game, I'm gonna cyber-kick them in the face. Don't even bother making such an easy comparison, because everyone can see the difference already. Don't be lazy when saying how great this show is.

Another really strong episode. I still enjoy how it has pretty quick pace, but still manages to keep the impact. I actually really liked that it got the kidnapping stuff out of the way in one episode; in particular that that bit didn't feel unnatural in pacing, also how well it incorprorates small bits of character development/plot during the roller coaster. Just continues to be a really great series that everyone should check out.

So did this episode just show that's not so? It looked to me like she got the dragon from the one that nearly fell on them, and it seemed pretty dead. Or was it just some other random dying dragon that I missed? 
As for the review, not only did it not seem like Kaisar too easily started working with Favaro, but to me it took him too long. There's revenge lust and then there's suicide, and given the situation they were in, putting the former first is tantamount to the latter. |

==[ Episode 5 ]==
Crazy episode, and another enjoyable review. --- Couple minor typos/mistakes: - Extra "like": "None of this felt like dull, any more than last week's backstory-building did" - Double Favaro (wouldn't mind if the story went this direction): "When Bacchus told Favaro and Rita where to go to rescue Favaro..." --- I totally agree about Favaro's change of heart in rescuing them seeming way too abrupt. He would prefer Kaisar stay captured, has no emotional attachment to Rita and her desire to save Kaisar, and only just accepted that maybe he shouldn't murder Amira. The only reasoning I could infer is that he has a minor emotional attachment to Amira built up by now, which he probably denies and tells himself that he just needs her to remove his tail. But I'm inferring all that, and there wasn't direct evidence for any of that in the text itself. Unless I missed something (totally possible), it just cut from a scene with Favaro explaining he has no reason to help to a scene of him threatening Bacchus and giving up his bounty hunter bracelet (and willing to risk his life). Felt extremely jarring. I don't quite agree with the prediction that the show will be in trouble if it doesn't slow down, though. Given the level of confidence in world building shown so far (and the vast array of conflicting entities), my gut feeling is this pace could be maintained without running dry. |

Like pretty much everyone else here, I was so pleasantly surprised by how genuinely good this was! Like, not even just "good for an adaptation of a card game," but simply good in general terms. I think I like pretty much all the characters, which is the first time in a while that I've felt that way about an anime. No whiny and introverted protagonist who constantly rambles on about justice! And I can't even remember the last time an anime's humor was actually funny and didn't fall flat for me. Yeah, all of that slapstick and goofy fanservice is really top notch you guys. Not only that, but it also has the best kind of fanservice: subtle but effective, and it doesn't get in the way of the conflict. Overall the story so far is just really interesting, even if I don't know what exactly the story is (or what it's leading to anyway). But that's part of the fun.
Honestly, the trailer looked great but I've learned from past experiences to try not to get too hyped about things based on trailers. But this delivered. It delivered so freaking well. And that animation, I don't even need to describe how godly it is. The music is perfectly understated in that it never blares over the action, the OST tends to blend in with the action on screen very well. There are many other anime out there that have great soundtracks, but they also don't seem to be integrated into the show itself all that well. Also the OP is awesome. And I don't even like metal that much. It's way more refreshing than another factory made J-Pop tune. Can't wait for the nest episode. |
