Welp, time for bodies to start dropping.

If only that line was applicable to Black Clover...

But that's not the problem. The protagonists can die and still take Rustal with them. Even Julietta realizing just who Rustal really is and either killing him or leaving him to die would be an improvement. Heavy casualties were to be expected, and Tekkaden are no angels, but we still expect the villains to get what's coming to them.

[up][up] Exactly what I was thinking. [tup]

Having Rustal survive despite being a total monster after everything just ruins it all.

[down] I'd prefer if they didn't lose cause of such stupid-ass shit like "muh Bael".

Four minutes. Four minutes of openings and recaps.

[up][up]Which makes it impossible for me to ever rewatch a series, or look back fondly on it.

Even Evangelion's ending is actually an optimistic one where the bad guys are ultimately proven wrong. It can be cloaked in darkness and still have the hero triumph.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

Tekkadan lost solely because the writers turned Mc Gillis into an absolute moron.

That's why I can never buy it & accept it. Its fucking ridiculous.

@ Lionheart: "I'M NOT DONE YET!"

@ Yakuzu: A prime example of a Family-Unfriendly Aesop, but it's the truth.

Unless I missed something, this is last week's episode, right?

[up][up][up]It really didn't help that Tekkedan completely bought into that King of Mars hullabaloo McGillis was peddling.

[up][up][up] Yeah that didn't help either.

The magic in this series is pretty samey.

There's not much distinction.

[up] (Shrugs) Anti-magic I guess. Oh wait there is a reason.

[up][up]Well The swords themselves are magical in origin, but Asta himself has no magic in his body. And because of how it works Asta is the only person besides their creator who can use them.

Because it's ANTI-MAGIC Enlong, duh! That's far better than that stupid old magic those dumb nobles use to oppress the masses! With Anti-Magic, Asta can finally bring those nobles down and all the people can swear allegiance to their new Anti-Magic Wizard King!
