Shirogane is basically a female Sakamoto.
 But i enjoyed watching her effortlessly winning everyone over as well as witnessing her goofy side supporting Masaru from the sidelines.
While i didn't expect Narumi to be dead for good, he sure wasn't dead for very long...but i'm also curious about how he was saved (and by whom), so i don't mind that much. |

I'm now curious as to How the F&*% that arm got detached so cleanly? and did they keep it? |

Wow, we are just barreling through this material, cutting stuff left and right. Seriously this episode alone skipped over a ton of stuff. You know the animal tamer that is introduced at the end of the episode in a single sentence? Well, in the manga there is a pretty lengthy arc where they recruit her for the circus while fighting a ferocious tiger with the help of an old lion with a poisonous needle on its tail.
Man, they need to hurry up and license the manga. |

Man, you know a show is doing something right when phrases like "circus puppet/clown family unit" are being used unironically and without the slightest hint of derision.

Between this show, Hinomaru Sumo, and the new season of Index, why are so many anime series rushing through their adaptations nowadays?

I'm guessing that the Manga has a number of stand alone stories involving him at school, which we are going to skip over. I know something similar happen in Ushio & Tora with the first arc.
Personally I prefer this, at least for still running Manga, over stretching out a story for hundreds of episodes with pointless filler arcs, recap episodes like they used to, and in some cases still do.Some of them can be good, but mostly it seems like a waste of time. |

There's a scene in Hard Boiled where firemen are trying to protect babies in a high-rise hospital nursery. Newborns. Because the entire building is on fire, but these other morons are having an intense fire-fight with automatic weapons on the same floor and bullets are flying through the nursery. These brave firemen grab these newborns in their arms and leap to their deaths from like, the seventh floor, while holding them in some attempt to save as many as they can from the fire and the bullets. It's one of the most emotionally powerful scenes I've ever seen. So I know child endangerment pr0n when I see it. That's what this show is. Put an innocent child (or innocent childlike adult) in danger. Then put a hero there that will NOT THINK TWICE about giving up their life to do what's right.
And I'm totally ok with that. They are doing it amazing. This show turns your eyes into fountains. And again, I'm totally ok with that. It's masterful storytelling. Just, they are going to keep doing that to you. So be ok with that. |

There was only 1 short arc at school which was half adapted. I also considered it was for the best, 36 episodes was already far from being enough to adapt a manga which has almost only long arc, adapting every single low-key scenes would not have been beneficial. Until last week they only skipped some low-key scenes and 1 arc made to introduce some secondary characters, in this week's episode they totally skipped 2 majors arc. Among the mess they gave multiple really important informations in a casually and uninterested way that make me wonder if most peoples who don't read the manga will even notice and remember them . This time, i fear that they pushed the skip button a bit too strongly.
Sadly you can even add 5 others ongoing shows, though i can't give you any concret reason, i've hearsay some like budget, production issues and understaffed but it's far from being new. |

I have to disagree with James about the animation quality. Episode 6 in particular had some pretty impressive cuts with Narumi showing off his martial arts prowess.

So a Japanese man with a missing arm is brought to a special medical facility for treating children with an incurable disease in America, by a silver haired Frenchman, fitted with a prosthetic arm, given the power to regenerate, and now must defend them against a travailing circus of killer puppets. God I love Anime.

That show may be a lot of things, but subtle it is not...i don't think i'll ever be a fan of its certain type of drama, but as long as it keeps to be this entertaining, i'm in.
So, if Narumi becomes a shirogane, will he also turn into a white-haired biseinen?

Even better, next season we'll have 3 shows that copy this formula, but in another world, with a smartphone, and cooking zombies. |
