Lol looks like Kobushi fell in love with Rinka's dad. Azuma finally reveals why he considers Rinka his hero after an unexpected encounter with Minami. Wonder what the Professor will be negotiating in the end. That was a pretty soothing ending theme, glad that Murasaki took a look at her past through her psychometry.

Lawl, penguin gets esper powers. Red haired thief falls in love with Rinka's dad was pretty lol too, guess she's into GAR. Interesting to see that shogun girl was someone Azuma knew... wonder how this will come into play later on. Murasaki's esper power to see the past is pretty cool, I thought it was really creative when it showed her touching the slice of pork only to see that it was originally a pig who got killed. Touching the ring to see her past of when she was born was sweet, until the professor showed up... Looking forward to next week.

Oh Kobushi you silly goose. I'm kinda eh on this show now. While it retains some decent amount of comedy, I'm not too impressed by the direction of the story. The way the comedy is done does catch my attention though.


ESP powers in a nutshell.

Also, is that a special ED song? Not bad.

This episode went pretty fast, It looks like Peggy can remove that fish from people which then removes their ability.
Murasaki has a pretty damn sweet power being able to see the past with an object (Psychometry) she was able to see her mother and father in that flashback with was nice.

SUPER PENGUIN AWAAAAYYYY!!!

Peggy is adorable.

But seriously, the pacing is still an issue but it seems to have leveled a bit into just being "Too fast". Wasn't so much all over the place this episode... Though it did go too fast in the transition of family dying backstory to comedic smackdown of pyro guy.

I can't help but feel the fact that every single hero in the show has at least 1 parent who is missing or dead is a parody of superheroes too... Maybe just a coincidence...

Not too much humor this episode though. Disappointed.

Rinka was so badass at the beginning.

Lol....Kobushi fell in love with Rinka's dad.

I loved Kobushi's blushing when she asked Rinka's dad about treasuring her as a daughter.

Episode was pretty good, I like how they explained about their backstory of their family and be able to know about their past. Although it's kind of hard to remember them in just one episode. The flashback for Murasaki's family was great and how her father cares abut her all the time for her safely.

Although the action of it felt slow, but still entertaining nevertheless. Peggy was pretty funny on most scenes, and happy that he saved Rinka and Kyotaro from that Sumo guy. I wonder what Minami is up too now.

Oh! Rinka is actually quite BA with those moves :O

Totally didn't expect Peggy to be able to take out the glowing fish and a person's ability. Well I guess he had to be somewhat special :3

Lol'd at how Kuroi fell in love with Rinka's dad XD She's totally the type to have a fathercomplex XDXD

Poor Bar keeper. His house has just became a freeloading hideout in one night XD

Minami seems interesting. I can't wait to know more about her. Hopefully Azuma doesn't go EMO every time she shows up ^^;

And Murasaki's past was pretty nice. Her mom is really pretty and her dad looked cool ^^

Professor X has appeared!!!! Lol

Rinka was badass yet again in this episode....I didn't expect her to be THAT strong though...Her moments with Azuma and the litle girl were sweet too

Magneto-Wolverine makes me laugh, and it's funny how Red is in love with him now xD

The whole Minami reveal was interesting and I can't wait to see more of her, also I did not expect to see that the flying penguin can take people's Esper abilities :|

Ah Peggy <3

They're still rushing it but what the hell, Peggy was at least awesome so I can't complain. Lol Kobushi fell for Rinka's dad. Murasaki's dad must be regretting not being a good father now.

And then the professor shows up! oh boy this is gonna be gud :3
(Provided they don't screw things up more than they already did)

5/5 because Peggy.

Lift the fat that's covering it lel

I'll check this show once in awhile to see if ppl start to say good things about it, but I'll stick with the manga for now. -On hold-

Want to hear my opinions on the show (that you didn't ask for)? Well, I'll put it in spoilers so it looks like I said nothing :)

Lol Kobushi did a complete 180 and Rinka didn't blame her for burning her house down even once. Guess that's a pacing issue. Still a pretty good episode, though.

Feels abit like a X-men rip off-ish. The episode was better than the last. But I hate that kind of episodes. They'll be introducing the other kid soon I bet and they'll spend like two more episodes at it. God. It makes my head hurt.

No personally, but she was there and didn't do anything about it. And when watching I got the feeling, it happened because she demanded it.

I just finished reading all scanlated chapters yesterday. After watching first two episodes I thought "oh well, it has potential, the characters seem nice", but now as I know the source material I just go "argh, they ruined the characterization so much!" at least few times per episode. Okay, they still are nice, but it's nothing compared to the manga. Azuma particularly gets hit pretty bad - in the manga he's charming and goofy, while here he's just a kinda bland guy with random dark backstory.
There's no way to properly do a 12 episode series from 26 monthly chapters. And I fear that a bad adaptation will discourage people from picking up the manga.
Oh well. At least it's not really bad, just average.
I'm waiting for Ayumu to show up.

The pacing is definitely rushed but I guess it's somewhat ok. Kobushi and Rinka's dad is just lol, and Murasaki's dad is freaking Leonidas. Being Leonidas makes him a bad ass but also makes it so I can't take him seriously with that face.

Peggy confirmed for best character.

Good episode but it's really hard for me to enjoy this because almost all the time I'm thinking "this is like a bad version of X-men" and I had fond memories of that show growing up.

ha peggy's power amused me just as much as it did in the manga. best character.

highlight was the ost used during the battle scenes & flashback of murasaki's ring, its really making ESP enjoyable. couldnt help but laugh at Rinka's dad facial expression while he rescued black fist. To think Wolverine ever doing something with an expression like that is painful but amusing to imagine

This anime has been a guilty pleasure for me, light hearted & fun with a nice blend of action.. and steven segal

Woah, a lot of things happened there. And I thought the powers acquired were a bit more "normal" but there is a guy that can summon a freaking huge monster (unless it was an illusion but I doubt it)?

Also the only thing that remains to be known now is that that piece of rock is and what the fuck are those fish.
