Lu isn’t entirely wrong tbh lol. I mean no one wants to have their mind read right, irrespective of their gender. Though the thing with Shin is that he just can’t help it. I mean Lu did realise she was wrong so that’s all that matters I guess. Still, if it wasn’t for their fight, we might not have seen the entire kidnapping sequence in the first place, as I believe Shin would’ve managed to deal with those nobodies from Lab. Also, Sakamoto the employer really goes all out for his employees by tracking them via GPS lmao… not that they can complain xD

I completely forgot that it was around this time Seba and Kashima the reindeer guy were introduced. It means a lot for the overall plot, specifically Kashima’s introduction. Dude looks like a menace as well lol. Btw, that whole chasing with the bike sequence was pretty rough to look at. It does the work, but yeah that’s it. Still the bigger picture is saving Lu and destroying that Lab, so I hope they might be saving for that, but yeah can only hope. Shishiba and Osaragi are there as well, so yeah, something actually pretty valid to look forward to in the next episode.

New ED with Order members, or more like an ED dedicated to them was a surprise, but I liked it.

Wth! Sakamoto using I phone instead of android (why sakamoto). I like this ep because, so many charecters are dumb and funny. At last shishiba and osaragi entry was getting my hype up... Waiting for next Episode.


Also New ed was soo good then first op.

I assume the highway scene was inspired by the Matrix Reloaded.

I wish Shaotang Lu has a better role than just a female lead waiting to be saved again and again by male leads.

Oh, we get an exclusive behind the scenes look at the anime studio!

It's weird that we get a new ED, but I'm complaining 'cause I love Vaundy and so prefer the new one over old one.
(They are both good, but also Vaundy is Vaundy...)

New ED... and honestly good. It fits 'Sakamoto Days' much better than the first one, imo. Sorry for fangirling a bit but Sakamoto is so cool, I swear.

It starts with an argument between Lu and Shin, which ends with Lu being kidnapped by a group of mobs from the Lab, then Shin and Sakamoto try to save Lu, leading to... Shishiba and Osaragi who also appeared in the Lab. Oh damn, will there be a small reunion between these three deadly assassins? Only God and the manga readers know.

Maybe it's because of the last episode, but I'm still annoyed with Lu :/ And who is that Seba guy? That invisible jacket reminds me of Under Ninja. It's cool, really, but the way he talks sounds so annoying. The guy (whose name I forgot) who appeared at the end also seemed to be out of his mind. I hope they all get beaten up by Sakamoto.

The deer head seems to be the scariest one here. I hope he becomes Shishiba and Osaragi's "meal".

Sure was nice of Shin to ask the random trucker guy for permission before using his trunkload as ammo, and even nicer of the dude to actually let him.

The assassins that just arrived are getting coaxed into buying a photo in dinosaur hats too, aren't they?

It is unusual for a character who was experimented on in a lab as a child to have had a good childhood and be treated well by scientists. It's good that Shin didn't have a bad experience being a test subject and even considers those scientists as family.

The episode wasn't great, but the assassins they've introduced look promising. Seba and Kashima look interesting, and two assassins from the order also showed up, though I doubt they are part of the ones controlling the lab.

Lu is so freaking adorable. I love her so much. Shin and Lu fight and then they immediately regret fighting each other. What sweet kids they are. They obviously care for each other. Lu got kidnapped and Sakamoto and Shin are at the Lab to rescue her but now they also have to save the Lab scientists because Shin has good memories of this place.

That new Order ED from Vaundy was really good and the visuals were great as well. Can't wait to see how they do in the next episode. Really enjoyable episode.

Huh. We're finally getting more backstory about Shin. It surprised me that he actually cares about his "childhood home". Usually, these types of places have a great deal of evil going on. But it seems like the director at that place was probably chill.

Lu said some insensitive things to Shin and got karma immediately. Hopefully, she'll break out and apologize.

Sakamoto isn't just superb at killing humans but apparently, he can destroy robot dinosaurs too. I bet he'd be able to take on actual dinos as well.

New ED? That's pretty cool.

Still, the Duo riding the motorcycle is sick.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Wasn't expecting them to change the ED, and I wonder if it was only for this episode or if it'll be for the rest of the season (or cour), but whatever the case, I really enjoyed the song. Loved the noir vibes, Vaundy doesn't miss fr.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Ey, Seba the freelancer is here.

I would say taking that scientific research lab is best move that Kashima done, he's right they can elevate their assassination methods to the fullest.

Can't wait for Osaragi & Shishiba to join the fray!

Wasn’t expecting a new ED in the middle of the season, I don’t like it as much as the original ED but it is pretty sick, the visuals I’d say are slightly cooler too.

And looks like we got another arc on our hands with this lab that Shin grew up in needing to be liberated, it’s surprising that the lab wasn’t evil to begin with but only just recently became that way because of an assassin group taking over, I like that, it subverted expectations a little bit. And the hazmat guys ended up getting waxed pretty quickly, but the real tough guy was Seba and his invisible suit, I’m glad I’m not the only one that was reminded of Under Ninja in this thread because of it, such a good show.

But Seba wasn’t the only brawl this episode, the bears and dinosaur fights were also a lot of fun, I like that Sakamoto’s first thought is to capture the dinosaur skeleton “alive” to show to Hana lol, but unfortunately that was undoable and he had to end it. And the last “fight” of the episode was that Mad Horiguchi guy, he kinda reminded me of Heisenberg from Resident Evil 8 with his big circular glasses and goofiness, it looked like he would be trouble at first with that weird voice altering thing he did to Shin, but Sakamoto came straight out of Minecraft (because of the square face lol) and punched him into next week, not sure if that’s the end of him but he’s definitely not the last guy they gotta fight to save the lab.

How could the Lab guys kidnap a totally different person? Lu is a girl firstly:)

Sakamoto and Shin working together to organise Shin’s childhood home was awesome. The researchers from there were helpful.

Shin’s ability of mind-reading is the best, he cannot be surprised by anything.

“The name tag says shin, it’s clearly him” 😭 tanaka and those kidnappers are idiots man. Seba selling his colleagues out had me rolling too 😭

It’s one thing to see Sakamoto take out assassins, but did I just watch him beat a dinosaur with his bare hands lmao??

Sakamoto coming out the tight ass locker with that block head got me rolling man. Knocked the shit out of that creepy scientist.

Oh shit Osaragi screentime finally???? This was a nice set up for what should be a banger episode next week. Can’t wait.

actually liked this episode, which is funny because the last one pissed me off. seba's introduction was good and i like the emphasis that they can't see him the way we do. i'm not surprised with kashima's look, he was just so detailed in the manga that no studio could match that part. just realized that they switched around some chapters here for once. i did NOT expect mad horiguchi to start doing that high pitch voice. also like that they kept the chapter title ''jurassic bastard'' and used it here. shishiba and my girl osaragi are here. we're starting to get to the important parts now, TMS needs to sell their souls or something to lock in and do better for those parts.

Episode 3/5

So Shin will have a storyline introduced now...I have serious problems with the narrative of this anime, although I don't think it's a bad anime so far, there are things that really bother me and I'm only realizing it now.

This anime has a bad tendency to introduce characters quickly, but from what I'm seeing, the stories of these characters are presented superficially and only later are more presented in fact.This bothers me. Because it seems to me that the author didn't have a good story to give to the character and simply thought of it later and added it.

Another fact that bothers me a lot is the predictability of things. Everything is predictable and even the stories lack originality. Sakamoto being a perfect assassin, never loses and now has his moment of redemption. Shin is a lab experiment. And Lu is someone who had his clan/family annihilated. Besides that, there's the fact that the villains have silly lines and no depth whatsoever, they just laugh and mock and think they're "strong", but it all ends in a few minutes with "sakamoto's super strength". This is becoming extremely generic, predictable and tiring to follow. At first I found this nonsense funny, but now in this current episode, seeing everything repeat itself again is telling me exactly what I pretended not to see: This anime is the most predictable and childish to follow, maybe I would like it if I was 11 years old, who knows. This is more predictable and superficial than Dragon Ball or Naruto.

Dude only gets $30k yen per month? Less than $200? Even if that's just his food budget, it's still super low. Maybe quit being a hitman and get a real job then. Perhaps in a small convenience store selling cup ramen.4

I guess I'm not surprised that he's also dumb enough to think you can buy a condo with $1M yen (less than $7k).

Still, I think his former employers might be even dumber. What kind of idiots would get rid of a world class sniper because he isn't good at close combat?

Whatever, it's a comedy, but still.

I take 2 highlights from this episode: the dinosaur masks and the new ED. Everything else felt like more of the same although that might change with the presence of new people from the Order coming in. Regarding the song, this one has a more mellow soft rock tone and I'm digging it more than the first ED.

Lu was completely valid in her complaints about Shin. Maybe he should dial the mind reading back a bit. Or at least for her.

This was probably my favourite episode so far, I really like the car chase scene I feel like we don’t get many of those in anime.

The new ED for this episode came out of nowhere. The one we had before was good, but I think I like this one better, both for the visual style and for the song itself.

As for the episode itself, I enjoyed it pretty well. It was interesting to know more about Shin's backstory and how he grew up in a laboratory with scientists who cared for him. In the present day, however, it's now run by an assassin wearing a deer head who wants things done at any cost.

The fights were pretty amusing, especially with the skeleton dinosaur against Sakamoto who had to get serious in order to shut it down. I do look forward to seeing how Sakamoto and Shun will rescue Lu, unless she gets help from the head scientist in the same cell as her beforehand.

Whoaaaaaa that new ending was so unexpected like it gave me chills seeing the letters “ORDER” pop up and the vibe was so Order like, like it fits the theme of The Order really well and the animators made all of them look so cold😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨🔥🔥🔥🔥

OSARAGI AND SHISHIBA LETS GOOOOOOOOO I’m so hyped seeing them, I forgot what even happens here in the manga but I’m happy as hell bc now I’m gonna be surprised🤩

I still get excited when the animation picks up especially the highway fight, I still have NO clue what ppl are talking about when they say Sakamoto Days has bad animation like this shit is GREAT and I love the colouring and the detailing in the character models very nice 👍🏽

I really liked it! Episode 6 was starting to show a bit of the madness going on at TMS with the flying PNG of Sakamoto punching Boiled and the stock sound effects, but it’s still a super great anime! I rock with the new ED a lot more than the old one, and I’m sure TMS is gonna do the Laboratory arc justice 🔥🔥

A pretty good episode. The comedy was really good imo, some lighthearted moments as well, like taking the photo in the dinosaur masks. It looks like the museum has been taken over by Slur. The order is coming to investigate, it seems we will get a team up between them, Sakamoto, and Shin. I like the setup we are getting for the overarching plot.
