I see your problem. It isn't a problem, in itself, but these shows are often so drawn out and bogged down with filler, it becomes infuriating how long it takes to get answers.

Alot of shows have filler. It's annoying, but atleast Kamen Rider filler only lasts an episode or two. Come complain to me when it reaches Bleach or even naruto levels

I know why the filler is there but it's no less annoying when a series starts at a deliberate 'Oooo mysterious I bet you want to know what is going on, don'tcha' point and then doesn't actually start answering it until the thirties.

They aren't going to start an arch like that and then just end it the next episode, what would be the point of watching all 40-50 episodes?

The best shows answer it over fifty episodes, not in the last ten.

If I remember correctly, you should get most of Kenzaki's backstory by the end of next week's LWW.

Hibiki 18

So this giant spiky eggplant monster was actually the fucking stomach of an even bigger monster. Which I sort of figured given the cord that extended from the monsters body to the hole it came from. Anyway, Ibuki found out it bled acid the hard way though it didn't damage him too much.

Hilarious moment with Hibiki getting slightly jealous of Ibuki earlier. Akira seems to meet the mysterious robed woman controlling the Makamou and blacks out, due to the hooded one's evil...?! Or maybe an as of yet unknown power.


Luckily, Akira's safe so far. Asumu seems to have taken up some temporary duties at Tachibana's restaurant. Including answering the Oni phone, much to Hibiki's surprise. Ibuki going after the Makamou in what looks to be underneath a mall.

Music is really good here. The scenery is awesome as well. Never before would I have thought I'd love a fight scene with a giant stomach.

Man, that stomach is bizaare, though. Just when it has Ibuki in a bind, here comes Hibiki to back him up! With a new trumpet for Ibuki to use! And we have an underwater battle against a massive angler fish. And at the end...dumplings for everyone! This was a fun episode.

Hibiki 19

Todoroki seems to be doing well for himself, in a montage of him eliminating three giant Makamou. Best part is that he plays his own victory music on guitar weapon after doing so, and his little robot animal gorilla air guitars along with him.

Asumu's got an official job at the Oni base/teahouse, everything seems to be going well for him. And Hibiki's practicing his motorcycle skills by dirtbiking. Still apparently needs work on it...

Meanwhile, the tea house staff is looking over what Akira learned about the mysterious figure leading(?) the Makamou. And the new type of giant beast they have access too. And now the mysterious woman is planning something...don't know what yet.

Asumu is settling in on his tea house job and Hibiki and Kasumi find a puppy! Asumu finally meets Todoroki and Todoroki and Hinaka are incredibly awkward around each other. Todoroki's marginally less nervous about his work as an Oni. It was hilarious when Hinaka's dad, Tachibana, started grilling him over it though.

Ah, I forgot Todoroki and Hitomi were cousins. Understandably she doesn't know about his Oni-ing. Todoroki and Hinaka seem to agree to a date later as Todoroki prepares to hunt his next Makamou. It also seems that as he watches Todoroki's battle on tape, Tachibana is a lot less entertained by Todoroki's post fight victory music than I was. Maybe he thinks it's too arrogant.

Oh hey, Jir-, I mean Zanki is back. Guess he came to visit Tachibana.Guess he's staying as a trainer. Tachibana shows him the video of Todoroki's battle...though I'm not sure what the problem is with Todoroki's victory music. Tachibana seems to be more confused of it's purpose than angry with it. I dunno what Zanki's thinking. Maybe it's as I thought before, it's too arrogant a gesture?

Meanwhile, Todoroki saves some family near a stream, effortlessly defeating the Douji and Hebime. But he gets snuck up on by the giant lobster thing and knocked to the side. Cliffhanger time!

I think I'll head back to watching Wizard after I watch this anime.

Watched Kuuga episode 18 and 19 and this arc was something else. I can't believe what happened in it. Very well done to see all the other characters react to what's going on and has a really good cast. Also love Yuusuke's 1808th skill of Stomp lol he's so awesome.

And Now just finished Faiz 20 and 21 which was good to see both of the two trinities together with Kaidou and Keitarou, Mari and Yuka and Yuuji and Takumi. Also nice to see Kaixa be less of a dick for an episode. Also like Saeko of the Lucky Clover so far. Can't wait for more.
