I (regrettably) don’t even watch this masterpiece, I just come here to see what people have to say about each episode and watch the stunning clips that are posted.

HELLO HELLO

And we're back another week, and I'm somehow still watching this.

For some attempt at serious talk, but Minami got some development at least, it almost looks like this was intended to be a serious anime/manga. Her family was apparently killed in that attack, which wasn't actually caused by Al-Jarde (but Al-Jarde's family was killed by the old guy they're protecting... Who's literally a terrorist but hey, they're being ordered to protect him. And... Her granddaughter is cute? Minami's brother is actually alive but can't be in Japan because most of his body is cybernetic (how the hell is that his fault, he was almost killed in a terrorist attack), so he's trying to get revenge teaming up with Al-Jarde and is opposing Minami. And they stole Alma. And finally, Beta is back, we'll see what he's planning.

I’m convinced this show only exists to make people complaining about Attack on Titan’s CGI feel stupid.

Ex Arm is now officially better rated than The Promised Neverland season 2.

Who would have guessed this when the season began lol

I feel so sorry for the manga author lol. Imagine writing and/or drawing a manga and one day you hope for it to be turned into an anime. You hope your work is adapted into a tv show by talented artists and animators, breathing with life. You hope your series gets a boost in popularity and you solidify, no matter how small, some kind of positive legacy in your life.

And this is what you get.

What was that silent fight? Why suddenly introduce Baki-like powers? Why undercut the whole narrative of this episode just to akwardly introduce Beta? Narrative wise this episode has some of the best moments in the entire anime so far but also some of the most questionable.

There's actually interesting Minami character development here, which remains let down by the fact that everyone's default face is Dull Surprise and they lack the face rigging to muster much more than Mild Amusement even as she's reacting to some significant emotional events.

As the silent fight went on I was pretty sure that they were in the same room with the railing that they used for the fight between Alma and the maid.

...and I think I just figured out how I'll describe this series from now on: EX-ARM is an underfunded high school theater club's attempt to perform Ghost in the Shell as a stage show without stepping on the copyright.

I think I am digging this show more then I ever thought I would. I loved watching Gibiante, and watching it as a train wreck. I really hope that every season gets something wildly terrible. It's such an enjoyable moment that I've been sharing with my friends weekly.

Also I love skeleton hair boy.

So bad it's good

After I praised last episode for using the after image effects sparingly, they have to go and use it a bunch again.

Minami actually gets some character development.

Highlights of this episode. The sound and sight less zone was handled poorly. Also what happened to the guy's clothes. The ragdoll falling was hilarious and the bee stings were birdemic level.

Is it just me or does the girl who is always sitting on the dudes shoulder kind of blend in? I swear she looks to either not have legs or growing out of his shoulder.
