[ Episode 25: Shake the Heart ]

If I were in Hayate’s position I probably would prefer being Isumi’s butler way more than Nagi’s. The only thing that would make the switch hard would be Maria. She’s much too beautiful and awesome to just leave behind. Anyways, while this episode wasn’t particularly mind blowing I did enjoy seeing Hayate take out that huge robot which I suspect had to be a reference to a Gunmen from Gurren Lagann. Those demon eyes he uses are just too hilarious. The Evangelion-like explosion made me chuckle quite a bit as well. Other than those few instances, along with Saki being in the episode for quite a good amount of time, this episode was just slightly better than the previous one.

Next episode appears to be an anime-original one as I don’t recall seeing it in the manga at all. That is, unless it comes from a volume I haven’t seen yet.

[ Episode 11]

The finale was better than I expected it to be. Though the majority of the first hour and a half was a recap of the entire series there were scenes in it that were totally new featuring almost all of the characters we already knew as well as the man behind Liar Game, Hasegawa, and his daughter Eri. I was surprised to find out just how planned out everything was from Nao first getting selected and to finding out even Fukunaga was tricked into entering the game. The third and final (there never was a fourth round technically) round ended great as well. Back and forth there were twists and betrayals but the two greatest of them all were when Akiyama tricked Yokoya with the three damaged cards and when Fukunaga seemed to have betrayed everyone else to work with Yokoya but in the end remembered all of the things Nao did for him in the previous game and went back on the deal.

[ Episode 24: I've Never Experienced Facing Trouble for Being Overly Popular ]

I really enjoyed this episode from start to finish. I think I mentioned before that this part of the story is one of my favorites particularly because of Isumi. She was pretty bold during this little arc and I can’t wait to see the conclusion. The references this week were absolute gold (Tsukhime, Kenshin, Gundam) but the one that stood out the most was the Tsukihime one where Hayate attacked Tama in a similar style that Ciel uses. One thing that surprised me though was Nagi’s mother showing up in the episode via the flashback with Wataru….

[ Episode 21: Jiguro Musa ]

First thing’s first: Young Balsa is soooo cute! And young adult Balsa is breathtakingly beautiful. It’s no wonder Tanda fell for her after living together for all those years. I also laughed at how Torogai looks exactly the same as she did all of those years ago. Man, how old is she going to live to be lol? Anyways, I enjoyed this episode as it was an insightful look into Balsa’s past and answers a few questions I had been pondering for some time now (such as how she eventually came to learn martial arts/the spear, how she lived while in Kanbal, etc.). It’s interesting how her past seems to be taking up two episodes though from the looks pf the preview it’ll probably be two and a half since it seems to also deal with Balsa now teaching Chagum martial artists and the way of the spear.

Ever noticed how Cero rarely ever hits someone point-blank?

[ Episode 28: The Resurrected Beasts ]

This best part of this episode was when Tenten used her jutsu from the Narutimate Accel game: Souryuu Tensaka (Double Dragon Scattering Destruction). Other than that this episode was quite boring. I knew long ago that they would use these fights as filler but I didn’t know it would stretch this long. Lee’s “revelation” was one of the dumbest things I’ve heard today as well. I think becoming stronger than your opponent is something pretty obvious…. Anyway, if you’re a Tenten fan and have a lot of patience you’ll enjoy this episode solely because of her. Otherwise, you’ll probably be groaning throughout.
