| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It's a trio of brothers lol Compared to the first episode, this one had more energy and familial value considering their sibling relationship. |
 |
| A buster bros centered episode, as expected from the preview the official twitter account tweeted! I really liked it even if it was kinda like, again not original content? It seems like so far this anime focuses on the main plot however it doesn't necessarily include anything that has happened in the manga series or the drama tracks so far. Maybe they need to progress a little bit and then when things get more heated they will pop off with the actual source material! Also Jiro and Saburo were so cute when they were arguing, I have to laugh at Saburo's airpods. My favorite part of this episode was that they let Ichiro rap Ore ga Ichiro, I love that song and I didnt expect them to use songs that already are out! I am happy they did tho.. Wonder what the next episode will bring ๐ |
 |
| This is so bad it's good. Laughed hard at dude having a shit-ton of microphones instead of bombs. Laughed at Saburo going full CSI and making a 3D map of the café. Laughed at dude exploding after rap battle (actually, I love how everyone explodes after a rap battle lmao). Also, how did Ichiro appear on the TV at the beginning? And why did he go rapping all the way to the battlefield? And why did bad guys waited for him to finish his rap instead of just attacking his brothers? Lmao Btw, Doc is an awful person. Instead of helping his friend he's all like "nah, he will be fine". He can get hurt you know. And what with "mic are not for hurting people"? That's pretty much their function for what I've seen so far lmao. They can literally brainwash people with mics like pls. Ironic 10/10. So bad it's good. Visuals and music are actually good tho. I loved to see Ore Ga Ichiro animated. Although I'm kinda disappointed because this seems to be episodic. I wanted a dumb rap battle tourney. |
 |
| Buster Bros episode! This episode ended up being unintentionally funny for me just seeing the guy threatening people with a microphone lmao. I busted my ass laughing when I witnessed that. It got even funnier seeing Saburo going all hacker and seeing the 3D map like we're in a police drama. Aside from that, it's a nice episode with the brothers and we get to see a bit more of their character. The episode included 'Ore ga Ichiro' as the intro! So that was good. We get to see the cute family relationship between the brothers too. I wonder who those 3 new guys are and if they'll end up being important later? I don't think I've seen them before. Also, RIP the desserts. Never got to see them eaten :( |

| I really liked this episode, mainly because it has less CGI than the firts episode, also the songs of this episodes where great and they played Ore ga Ichiro and that song SLAPS. It has some weird things if you don't know much about the franchise tho, like Saburo hacking everything at light's speed and all living being of Ikebukuro knowing Ichiro, so we can assume this anime will not be newcomer frendly. |
| Hate that this show has such a low rating, really doesn't deserve it. But there's people who'll drop and score it a 1 just for being a male "idol" show so fuck em |
| The Buster Bros are fire and this show is something else. LOL |
 |
phantomfandom said: They look really similar so probably biological.Is microphone symbolically reprensent penis? (Yes, this is a serious question) Buster Bros are sworn brothers or biological brothers? Anyway, it's good to see low-level villain rap. |
 |
| Older brother destroyed him. I don’t know what I’m watching but I’m enjoying it. |
|
| So the anime won't follow any of the mangas or Drama CDs, huh? Unless they show some battles before the battles between the main teams... Oh well, I'm cool with whatever they do as long as it's fun to watch and so far I'm having a lot of fun! It's ridiculous? Yes. And I love it! phantomfandom said: Is microphone symbolically reprensent penis? (Yes, this is a serious question) Buster Bros are sworn brothers or biological brothers? Anyway, it's good to see low-level villain rap. lmao no I don't think so, other characters have different mics with different forms, like Doppo's, which is a flip phone. And Buster Bros!!! are biological brothers! |
| i liked this episode a lot better than the first one, and i think the buster bro's might be my favorite group as of right now :p |

| The Buster Bros are my least favorite division, but I enjoyed this ep nonetheless. I was pretty hyped when Ichiro started singing Ore Ga Ichiro, so I'm looking forward to all the other songs I love. <3 |
   I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| again, i rarely watch any male only anime, but this one is really funny so far, this episode was crazy :D let's hope it doesn't get boring when they are just playing in a tournament, cause i feel like, the street fights are the best part of it |
favorite "new girls" from fall 2024 <3 (yeah i didn't watch much in 2025...) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| "How d'ya like dem apples, you fuckin' wack bastard?" LOL. Sorry, I hate to be negative but this is just awful. I'll admit it was marginally better than the first episode and I did laugh at it several times, especially when that guy tried to hold up a cafe with bunch of microphones strapped to himself - it's just SO stupid! I need to get to the point where it's so bad that it's good but damn, some of those lines induced full body cringe. I mean, I'll say this though - at least it's trying something a bit different. I'm just not sure it's for me... |

| This is the most fun I had watching an anime in a while and I like the Buster Bros. Ichiro Yamada is a top tier emcee and that song he used to introduce himself in the beginning of the episode was fire. |
 |
| The OP and Ed are both good. I’ve been listening to both on a repeat for a while now. The OP is one of the most unique I’ve heard because it blends different musical styles in just 90 seconds. It’s insanely good. The Ed is so mellow and has a great flow. Anyways this episode mainly centered around Buster Bros, especially Tendo Sat- sorry Ichiro Yamada who is the MC. There was another group that made an appearance in beginning and end and I’m assuming they’re another rap group. Overall this ep was good. I’m really loving the colors and animation, which add a cool dynamic to the rapping. |
 |
An episode centered to Ichiro and his sporty brother and brainy brother, both with brother complex. lol |
| Oh, nice. Buster Bros got the first chance to introduced their daily activity first. So far they were quite cool with, and their rap was so, hype. As a typical street fighters troupe, their daily activity was not so special. Its even noticed to be quite generic. At least they had the time to showed off their ability, and teamworks to resolved the trouble surrounding their way. Its nice and cool to see their strong 'chemistry'. Ah, that soccer part too, they were so talented with another field, i see ... Am i liking their rap music? So far its fine, and quite catchy in my ears. Overall it did not bothering me much. Also, that photographer guard was way too rude with their surrounding. I found it kinda funny. Lol Thats it for me. |

| everyone's saying the same things but I'll say it again anyway. a man threatening people with a mic and having mics strapped around him has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen, but I love it. and as usual, the original anime raps did not disappoint. also we had Eguchi Takuya cameo as the bank robber!! :') |
 |
| 5/5 love it because of the lolz XD I CAN'T not laughing the entire episode.. XD Anyway.. i love how they put Ore ga Ichiro here. Does that means there's a high chance of seeing Drop! Animated •w•?? |

| I didn't think that the 2nd episode could be better than the 1st one, but here we are. This week the episode was centered around Buster Bros, which was a smart move, since the 1st episode, although really good, was a bit too chaotic for anyone not knowledgable about Hypnosis Mic. It not only re-introduced all 3 members of Buster Bros, but also elaborated on their characters, their quirks and their relationship. The animation was even better than in the 1st episode, and although it lacked CGI, the animation during the raps and rap battles was clever and really nice to watch. Honestly, I couldn't find any faults in the animation, even if I tried. I have to once again compliment the soundtrack, which fits the anime really well and was enjoyable to listen to. Besides an already known song, Ore ga Ichiro, which was nicely fitted into the plot, there were, again, new raps, which did not disappoint when compared to all the already released tracks. The plot, although fairly simple, was extremely enjoyable to watch, and the comedy was just perfect. The creators seem to know how ridiculous the concept of Hypnosis Mic can sometimes be, and utilise it to its full extent, not taking everything too seriously, but also not treating everything as a cheap joke. Overall, the episode was great, and it only makes me more excited for what's coming next, especially the Fling Posse episode, since they're my favourite division. I'm impatiently looking forward to it. As a side note, looking at the anime purely as a fan of the series, I have to say that I'm completely satisfied with it. The creators definitely could've made something completely effortless and rather bad, since it would still sell well, looking at how popular HypMic is in Japan. But this anime is clearly something that has a lot of effort, planning and passion put into it, which I'm utterly grateful for. The anime does not only make me fall in love with the series again, it also makes me like the charcters even more. It really is a great adaptation. Also, Ichiro was super hot in this episode |
ChroNoiR Episode.0 is the best anime to ever exist Kanae forever in my heart |
| This show so dope bruh. Liked this ep a lot, visuals were better with no cgi. First episode wasn’t bad but this was definitely a step up. Buster bro’s are coolass especially main bull. They actually spittin which I was not expecting going into this show. |
| This was a really good episode, with the focus on Buster Bros. It was hard to keep up with all the shit happening last episode because they showcased every teams so, it's nice there are episodes where the focus is only one. We got robbed of a Tsuda Kenjiro rap though gaddamnit I thought we were gonna hear one lmao. Overall this was a pretty solid episode. |
 |
| This one is better than the last. The Buster Bros is the best group out of all in this story. They have good chemistry as siblings/trio. And they rhyme so well, I take them as a bet for the division battles. Hoping that the tournament arc start though. |
 |
| buster bros so far are my least favourite division (i love mad trigger crew!!! doubt they'll win tho) but i loved the songs in this episode |
 |
| Ichirou's first rap was pure fire (I actually looked for it on YT) but my god, the rest of the episode was so ridiculous. That thief revealing he had multiple mics as if he was carrying bombs ala true terrorist fucking killed me xD sKyBlazer08 said: We got robbed of a Tsuda Kenjiro rap though gaddamnit I thought we were gonna hear one lmao. So the dude's VA was Tsuda Kenjiro after all, uh? Man, we got robbed indeed. I was so looking forward to his rap once I heard his voice lol |
| This is so awful and I love it so much. I got soooo hype after Ore ga Ichiro. Love love love the relationship between the brothers. |
| Buster Bros!! with unusual pupils shine this episode! 5/5. yeah such a shame! i really thought Tsuda Kenjiro would rap! |
 |
| This story is whatever. But I admit that Ichiro guy’s song wasn’t thaaat bad I guess. |
| The single good thing about this are the delicious cute boys ( อ โโฏแด อกโ) |

| This anime is making me realize I had the entire story wrong this whole time; I thought there was only ONE hypnosis mic and it was an illegal item that the gangs in each district were fighting for in the division battles because it was the only way to gain control cause of the whole 'no weapons' thing. Anyway, loved seeing more Buster Bros who are one of my favorite trio! The art is so gorgeous, it's almost mesmerising and I'm just so happy to be hearing more of the songs! The dude wearing the mics like some kinda bomb was just cringe though... |
 |
| like someone said, this show is so bad it's so good lmao. It's soo weird but I can't help but smile throughout the whole time :P Almost reminds me of Conception in that sense but seems like these rapper crews, or at least Ichiro himself seem to be quite popular in society |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I'll be posting one of those watching commenting logs I've seen other people do because I lack friends who want to hear me ramble about Hypmic for hours on end! That and I lack the brain power today to write something meaningful! Thank you for coming to my TedTalk |

sKyBlazer08 said: We got robbed of a Tsuda Kenjiro rap though gaddamnit I thought we were gonna hear one lmao. Overall this was a pretty solid episode. I'm glad i'm not the only one who was hoping for that. :D Unfortunately by looking at Kenjiro Tsuda mal page he have a few song performances so most likely he will not sing or don't like it. But still, hope dies last. Maybe they will tease as from time to time and he will get song in last episode? |

| It's funny how they're scared of a microphone XD Even the minor characters are voiced by notable seiyuus, Tsuda Kenjirou's character just ran away without rapping XD and Eguchi's character that robber just rapped a little and obviously got defeated... I guess next episode will probably be MTC centered. Anyway, I can't wait to listen to the full version of the songs... |

| A Buster Bros!!! focused episode, and I'm not complaining that the rap I'm starting to get used to, and who cares about Japan having such "it's stupid it's insanely good" niche stuff, if it appeals, it will rock. The trio of brothers with Ichiro Yamada at the helm, what camaraderie of working together with rap songs at the ready with ridiculous levels of insanity. |
 |
| omg, what a good surprise hahaha. When I read the synopsis I thought this was going to be so cringe but it turned out to be the opposite. Using the mic as a weapon is hilarious. The guy threatened the customers with a mic hahahaha And buster bros are amazing. I love their synergy and their raps. I don't even like rap that much but their songs are so catchy... I can't wait to see the other groups. I think I'll stan them xD |
