Oh yeah, one last thing! In the manga the song Alex sings is actually Stand By Me which is really touching to imagine her singing to her little brother :3:
With You ended up being pretty nice though.

Being fair, there are dangerous side effects to singing Stand By Me:

Today is 9.5 instead of a real episode, curious to see if it's 100% recap or if there's any new content. I'll be out today so I won't be watching it until later though.

I ended up not watching 9.5 because it didn't run on hulu (my bad, it was listed as a clip) and I couldn't be assed to download a recap. 10 is already floating around since I've seen some gifs but didn't want to post anything before it airs in English.

11 was pretty good despite having almost no protagonist involvement whatsoever. I'm a bit intrigued how they're going to get Nico involved in the action again considering he's a small fish in a big pond now (not a manga reader). It seems like his drug OD strategy is played out.

Also, the themed codenames are getting to be pretty hilarious. Round table members as mercs/bodyguards and gun brands/parts as hunters/assassins. Who do we meet next, the tag sexworker guild where everyone is named after English genitalia slang?

That was a season finale? They didn't bother to wrap up any plot points at all. They must be expecting another season.

I'm going to catch up probably tomorrow & post my thoughts then. I got sidetracked with other things and am behind so I still have to watch from 10 on.

I sense someone talking about... GUNDAM!
I was disappointed by the direction the show went towards the end. The villains were really boring and felt both out of place and generic, both character, plot, and design-wise. Sure, let's have like five guys all have identical generic smug evil personalities, that'll work out great.

I watched this with a buddy the last couple Sundays and this show really took a downturn halfway through. It seems like they wanted to start introducing plot things and then bring in a bunch of SUPER BADASSES without even dealing with the previous 2 they introduced, Hell, the main characters didn't even appear in episode 11. Part of me is like...hoping it gets a season 2 to resolve something, anything. The other part is like "no, you made a season 2 ploy instead of doing anything else so..no". In the end, I dunno haha

in the show's defense this arc isnt even wrapped up in the manga yet. i also still think it was way too early to give this an anime adaptation but oh well. at least they didnt do some anime only ending! anyways because of how bad the animation was in episode 10 i think i am probably done watching this adaptation, unless i hear the blu rays fix a lot of stuff then i might finish it out.

pls write the manga faster Kohske

I was unaware the manga arc wasn't done yet, but that would explain a lot. You are right though, Episode 10 was definitely the low point of animation. I think I was kind of expecting some kind of big fight to happen at the end though like "Oh, they're saving their budget for the big show down, obviously." Ahh well.

I liked the show up until the end, I just didn't like the cliffhanger. When the episode ended I thought 'wow, next week is going to be insane" and then I looked up why there was no episode title at the end and got blue balled.

Now that I'm reading the manga the show being over for now sucks even more because I'd really like to see this stuff animated.


EDIT: Seriously, there's even a better season ending cliffhanger in here.

drat, that explains a lot. I was hoping it would get cleaned up for blu-ray but probably not now I guess. :(

Is there anything official about it because all I've seen is some tweets and a reddit post.

They even did Samurai Champloo. It's sad to see a studio that did a great show like that go under.

Never started watching this show due to the packed Summer schedule, but I'm up to episode 6 now and enjoying it's simplicity.

Sucks to hear about the bad ending though.
