Big Order: New manga by author of Mirai Nikki

Well, we'll see, though I have to say I'm not liking Eiji very much at this point. It's probably a bad sign that I'm rooting for Rin to succeed in killing him.

Eiji's not really evil, and he never wanted to use his power.

At this point, he just wants to protect his sister.

I'm not sure how far along the anime is, but there's going to be a big plate of irony in Eiji's life soon enough that may make you change you mind.

Plus there's still some ambiguity about if he really did what the story says he did, and even if he is responsible, it may have been by accident. Don't judge him yet.

One Strip! One Strip!

This series gets more messed up by the episode. The hostage execution scene cranked up the shock value up to eleven.

It's hard to tell who we are supposed to root for since basically everyone is a bag of dicks. When and immortal assassin with a grudge is the most sympathetic character that might be a problem.

Rin's antics are hilarious.

Eiji's power is so inconsistent. He already put the ten in his domination, but it seems to have no effect at all?

Okay, did that chick got instantly pregnant after he grabbed her bow? What?

This series is weird, but I just can't stop watching.

I think the funniest part is Eiji being a puppet leader. The guy who can make people do whatever he wants has no choice but to be used by others.

And things will only get crazier for him.

One Strip! One Strip!

I went ahead and read some of the manga and wow, Eiji is just terrible at using his power in any sort of effective manner, isn't he?

I guess so. He's not really a big planner or anything, despite his power.

He also purposely went years without using it, so that might have something to do with it. Other characters have likely explored all the ways they can use their abilities.

One Strip! One Strip!

I'm not even talking about any advanced or clever uses of his power. He seems to forget the most basic capabilities he has.

Like at the part I'm in, the crisis would be averted if He remembered he can move inanimate objects. Something that he figured out in the first chapter.

....

I forgot he could do that.

One Strip! One Strip!

Don't worry, so did he.

Episode 4:

This show is so weird. Even putting aside the magical instant phantom pregnancy, it's still weird as fuck.

Like, why does people just casually hang out in the streets during an invasion.

Eji is surprised that he's not popular with the masses.

Nukes don't work that way.

For someone who wants to kill Eiji, Rin sure is particular about it.

Also, damn Kagekiyo is hot.

Episode 5:

I don't remember Eiji and his sister to be so weird. That scene on the bed was anime original and totally messed up.

Speaking of messed up, Rin and Eiji relationship is as crazy as ever. Rin takes tsundere to it's psychotic extreme. She's so cute.

Seems they are skipping most of the Hiroshima arc, which would take like two episodes to adapt, and just jump straight to the point.

So yeah, this is the part I had problem with. Why didn't Eiji just order the headphones to get out of Rin's head? He's really terrible at using his power.

Colonel power is hax.

So Rin is... kidnapped? Hard to tell how much she's manipulated and how much she's free to do what she wanted without Eiji's domination.

And Daisy drops the bomb.

Part of the weirdness probably comes from that manga has pretty clumsy writing And apparently at volume 8 it gets really stupid since translators completely gave up on that point and stopped translating

Yeah, I noticed so too. The manga feels disjointed, as if there should be more stuff between what we see that would make things flow better. As it is, it sometimes jumps all over the place.

As much as I enjoy the series I would have to agree that it is a bit of a mess and unfortunately the anime adaption is following in that trend (I had been hoping that the anime would straiten out some of the flaws but that hasn't happened yet. It is still fun though.)

Knowledge is Power, Guard it Well

Went to check out the anime after hearing it ws from the same author as Mirai Nikki. I honestly didn't like Mirai Nikki and I thought several things were weird and just horrible (the only thing I found cool was Minene), but for some strange reason I found myself unable to stop watching until the end. Pretty much the same here. Well, at least the protagonist in this series is not such a shitty character as Yukiteru (God I fucking hate that little shit!). This series gives off the vibe of an even weirder Code Geass.

I went ahead and searched for spoilers of later parts of the manga and I think I know of the stupidity you were talking about. Well for those who know, how the fuck was that imouto's wish to be with her family was the real wish that nearly destroyed the world and how the hell is that connected to Bind Dominator anyway?

You can almost predict what manga will receive anime adaptions - I knew One Punch Man would get one, and I knew this one would as well, even if the character designs were near copies from Future Diary.

Eiji. Light Yagami, Lelouch, Yuki Amano. You might be Rooting for the Empire - which is kind of exactly what happened in Future Diary, although Yuki's position was a little more complicated because he was the innocent party at first. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing, its standard Anti-Hero.

I just remember so little about what happened in this manga since I last read it, and I only read up to the part where the regenerator girl came back. So, the manga was getting so messed up that the translators gave up on it, eh?

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!

And when I though it couldn't get more confusing. So, stuff happened, Daisy apparently working with Eiji father, and the whole excursion was utterly pointless.

Oh yeah, I just watched the two latest episodes back to back.

This might be the strangest show I've seen in years. It feels like the plot just barely holds together. Things just happen with little rhyme or reason.

That's what I'm getting from this series as well. Future Diaries plot held up until the last 3 episodes or so, but Big Order is just...nonsense.

In new episode of the craziest anime of the season: Everything you though you knew was a lie.

So apparently the last episode:

Yeah, so this was all because Sena wished for her family to stay together.

It's almost comical how quickly Rin and Sena became best friends forever. But Rin was super cool this episode and the Order Fusion was great.

So God is a giant skeleton with glowy lines all over it.

In the end Eiji pretty much Deus Ex Machina's all the problems away. And he could apparently do that at any point.

So apparently the world is rebuild, Eiji is a hero, he and Rin are going out, and Sena is healthy. Oh also Daisy is a waiters, because why not. I'm okay with that, I like Daisy, good that she survived.

Seriously, the ending is so picturesque perfect and so poorly explained that I expected a twist at the end that Eiji failed and this is the world that God created from his wish. But nope, this is apparently the last episode. Why only 10 episode anyway?

So yeah, Big Order was a poorly written, rushed, often nonsensical mess, with things happening abruptly and without good reason, and character doing things because the plot said so not because it made sense. And it was fun as hell. Seriously, I had a blast watching it. I wouldn't call it a good show in normal sense, but if more series were bad like this, I would be okay with that.

Gecko Ending.

Sooo, same ending the author already used for Mirai Nikki?

More like Gecko series, really.

Wait, so Mirai Nikki had the same ending?

That was definitely an interesting ending but was I the only one who was expecting the person beyond the gate to be Yuno rather than what we got?

In the end the series turn out just how I thought it would, a mess but an enjoyable one at least.
