DAfuq, she looses her power when she has her period.

Da hell was that macarena he did before searching the escaped kageribitos?

So the background during the fight was interesting visually, but the fight per se was pretty average. I like how they are trying to make it more magical and super powered by relying on the spfx. And I like that they still use guys in suits. But you can't have a great battle if you don't do the basics very well and that was average.

So they can look as they want anytime. And while I'm happy for the suits, it doesn't work very well for Gai because he can't open his mouth and his fur is static.

Using coincidences to make the characters keep meeting was lame.

Overall it was a weak episode.

It's strangely addicting to watch even though I have no clue what is going on. It's kind of like the writers are letting us see the side of their minds most people would try to hide.

But HAHA she losses her powers when aunt flow is in town!

So this series is basically Den-O meets Garo, and done in a completely silly manner.

I get the impression that we won't be seeing the human forms much, which is a pity. Hopefully, the craziness will die down and we'll really get to meet these characters.

Looks like this show really is a cross between Den-O and Garo. Gou and Rai totally remind me of the Imagin. This show has been straight up nuts so far. I like it a in a way because we get to see some "adulterated" stuff like women in lingerie. Oh yeah, that ending scene where the girl took off her clothes was weird though. I totally did not understand it at all. The fight scene in that CGI place looked neat too. I wonder if all upcoming fights are going to happen in that background.

Hitomi must be the only girl on Earth who can be as happy as a clam in her monthly thingy :lol:

The way I understand it, the dead guy Jin is possessing was probably some bigwig with lots of green and enough private secretaries to have his "need" attended daily. And when you finally get tired of even sex, welp might as well call it a good life :wink: the woman who showed us her meat was probably just doing what she's supposed to do everyday, and Jin was judging her action with that look.

The use of her period as some sort of "monster sensor" isn't really anything new but in this case it's reversed.
You could track it back to myths and folklore of different countries, both past and present ones.

You can find it even in Buffy (the original movie, not the TV series).

I wouldn't of guessed I'd think Gaim had a better episode this week than Shougeki Gouraigan.

The 100% ADR took me right out of the experience, I have no idea why they did that. They often didn't even bother to put in background sounds or anything. Neither Rai nor Gou were particularly likeable to me, they were pretty annoying throughout. Finally the depiction of women isn't surprising, but that also doesn't make it ok.

Random question: Does anybody happen to know the ballad (song title and / or artist) that plays during the sponsors before the episodes start? That song's amazing.
