Well it's definitely not that :lol

This set of episodes didn't quite wow me but they were enjoyable. Now next week is where things really heat up.

I'm caught up through 29. One of the producers or writers must have been brutally dumped by a girl named Riko, because this show is an asshole to Rikos. :lol

Still liking Ren, even if he is a Catcher in the Rye fan (fuck that book. Seriously). Mizuo's growing on me, too, even if I'm still not sure why they gave a 15-year-old girl a driver's license. Actually, I wish we were getting more of them and less of Komon, who I'm actually getting really bored with, even with his newfound l33t haxor skillz (Really? Your password to a top secret organizaiton's classified project is only three letters long - what idiot came up with that idea?).

Also, holy crap, did they actually defeat a monster in just one episode? :eek:

See I really like Komon. I love that he's the main character but the story doesn't necessarily revolve around him. He's more a framing device than anything. But he really comes into his own by the end of the series. I still really don't care for Ren though. Again he's better here than he ever was as Kageyama, but he's just not a great fit after how much of a badass Jun was.

Yeah, that surprised me.

It's probably related to the fact that Nexus was nearing cancellation.

So far Ren is more of an standard hero: capable, strong, reckless and happy.
Compared to Himeya that had to struggle for any of his victories

Kids like strong Ultras.

I really didn't like Mizurogi and riko being back, when Jun died they pretty much wrapped up his plot, and putting these two back in is just connects to much to the past. I would have much preferred they reveal the new enemy and have had mizurogi and dark mephisto being a part of their master plan. But I did think the story (even if i didn't like it) was well done. and the combat and the introduction of junis blue's finisher was very enjoyable.

I also liked episode 30 where they had Ren and Komon acting all buddy buddy, I really hope that TLT doesn't abduct Ren and kill him like they did with Jun, that would just be annoying.

You'll like what they do with Mizorogi next week ;)

Possible spoilers for next week: They'll finally introduce Mephisto Zwei?

Finished up to episode 21: Holy god, Mizorogi's back! How does that...? Why...? I have no ideas on what's happening so far. It's enjoyable though.

So far: Nexus isn't a show I'd pick for myself. I prefer happy, upbeat series, rather than things like this, which are dark and pretty grim. I'm glad I started though; Nexus has good action, and likeable characters (apart from Nagi, and even she's lightened up, or maybe shut up, lately). I really like Jun. He's awesome!!!

Try Max when you finish with this, then. It's a much more lighthearted and fun series.

I'm caught up through episode 30 now, in which the character moments remind me a lot of Faiz and Komon is outwitted by an amusement park kiddy train. I sometimes feel like if there's ever a time when all of the Ultra protagonists gather together, Komon is probably asked to sit at the special table in the corner. Right next to the 4Kids dub version of Daigo from Tiga.
