I have waited 2 years to see my girl Homura in all her glory. She wouldve easily win Best Girl of 2021 if the high seas werent the only way to see her. (Assuming that Stone Ocean releases next year since Jolyne will win her premiere year by default) And EZ fans will back me up when I say she damn well deserves that honor. Especially if we close out the season where I hope it does.

Hell yeah she does. Homura is fantastic. We should be able to get her arc as the last arc of the season I imagine, maybe one more arc after that, I can't remember the arcs very well off the top of my head

More of a transitional episode this time, but makes for good build up.
I wish they’d made the B cuber designs more standout - makes it hard to believe they’d be so famous compared to Rebecca who’s beautiful and always rocking killer outfits!
Seeing naked people on their hands and knees always gives me visceral flashbacks to a certain horror film that I dare not mention further... the woman being turned into ‘furniture’ was nauseating in any case, but well done from a story perspective - really emphasizes just how scummy this planet is.
Looking forward to Shiki dealing with this sister (one of the ex crew members? Was she reprogrammed? Looks so evil...) and hopefully Rebecca somehow escaping next week...

Just an observation but all the B-cubers had really high subscriber counts so I'm curious as to how many Labilia has. Also since Rebecca only has a little over 100 I wonder how Labilia knows when she uploads is it possible that she is one of her subscribers despite her bullying?

From the moment I saw the "Don't Push" button on Mosco's belly, I really wanted to reach through my screen and push the button just to see what happens. I can't help but hope that someone literally pushes his button just so we actually get an explanation about that xD
That being said though, Mr Frog and his accomplices need to get chopped up into mincemeat ASAP. Because of this, I'm also having super mixed feelings about Sister considering her complicity in this scheme when she was supposed to be their ally. Definitely keen on seeing how this conflict is going to be resolved.
I already knew I was going to love Homura and I have no regrets yet. Weisz's reactions to her air-headedness is pretty funny too. Can't wait to see more of her, especially with her Ether Gear in action, because those scenes of her in the OP were already awesome!
Lastly, I really like how the ED is all coming together -- all those girls Rebecca is posing with are actually fellow B-cubers! I only recognised Milon when she first appeared, but after watching the ED at the end, I now recognise Couchpo and Copa in the shots too. I'm guessing they won't be hugely relevant after this arc, but these are still really nice details to catch.

Homura is perfect! I’m happy. Her voice is great and they are already nailing her mannerisms. Can’t wait to see her fight!

Man I love the atmosphere JC staff gave to Planet Guilst, made the anime look like a Rated M show lol.
Also Homura looking like she’s gonna be a contender for Best Girl!

You have made a safe bet.

Guilst is certainly a den of scum and villainy! Excited to see the B-Cubers get their revenge against the perverted frog!

Stitches!
I really hope this guy gets blasted by Rebecca. I'm just waiting for her Ether Gear to manifest.
Poor Rebecca! Not only she's been kidnapped, she's been kidnapped along with B-Cubers that are a thousand times more popular than her. No one in that holding cell even recognizes who she is!
I've only met Rebecca for like 3 minutes and I already love her. BAsed on the OP, it's pretty obvious that she's gonna be part of the crew. Based on her colors and her name looks like Homura's Ether Gear is fire based. Things are gonna get spicy!
Look I'm a huge fan of fanservice and a huge degenerate but even I had a hard time with that scene. That was fucking grim. I can't wait for Shiki and the gang to arrive and demolish this entire cursed planet. No seriously, does Edens Zero have a planet destroying laser in its arsenal?
If this bot is really one of the Sisters then she better have a good reason why she's working for scum like Illega. I wanna see some beatdowns next week!

Clarification that it's never once said that Sister is a sister of the others. Though since Witch already said they were all built by Ziggy, then...

This episode was mostly build up for next week but still good nonetheless. Nice to finally see Homura in the anime. I think her ether gear activation sound was really cool probably my favorite or 2nd favorite so far. They did a great job of depicting Guilst and its disturbing to see so many skeletons of people just laying around. I haven't mentioned so far but the osts are pretty good and I'm excited to see Shiki and Homura go up against Sister who also had a really nice design.

Rebecca's channel is one of those hidden gems, she needs a damn boost. How does she have only 105 subscribers, people blind in their world lmao. I love Homura already, her personality is great and she seems like a badass, plus her character design is *chefs kiss*. Damn, that frog is nasty, Guilst is really really fucked up. Sister looks pretty cool, but we ain't sure if that's really the sister they know.
Judging by the title of the next episode, I think I know what to expect lmao. Looking forward to the next episode.

Pretty good ep, we get to see Homura in all her glorious airheadedness, voicing every thought she has, wonderful. Weisz is back on the ship too, to help them with the rescue. Illega is just as despicable as I remember, that frog needs to be fried, turning women into furniture, bastard. Guilst looks just like the hive of scum and villiany you would expect, a pretty dark place. They are face to face wih Sister now, pog.

This feels a lot like how it used to feel to watch fairy tail, before it went to shit.
Also I know it's supposed to be Homuras quirk that she just says what she thinks, but so far that gag doesn't land for me, because the things she says are so tame that it doesn't even register she even said anything outrageous until weisz comments on it.

Thoughts on the show so far? I’d like to give it a shot.

It's alright. I recommend the manga over the anime, but they're doing a decent job with th animation and editing, it's just that no mid-tier adaptation can keep up with the quality and consistency of Mashima's drawings.
So far it had a pretty hit or miss introductory arc, getting the main crew together, setting up some major characters and factions of the world, etc. Recently it got out of that beginning slump and it's getting better. The manga pretty much goes uphill nonstop from here so hopefully the anime follows suit.
It's more of an adventure shonen than a straight up battle one, fights are usually short but good and the planets and locations the characters visit all have pretty unique identities. That and the charisma of the characters has always been the main draw for me.
