| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Rinka needs more training tbh. I don't doubt her skills and she actually does improve a bit. Welp, even master Yoshi is somewhat impressed. It's funny how they also used some Buddha references. This was a slow episode imo but I am glad they fleshed out some of Kyoutarou and Minami's past a bit. Thought that was important although the focus was weak. And seriously, some espers can be so cruel in this show. |
 |
| Ayumu is way more BA than I thought when I saw him in ep1...well until he started getting owned XD Really loving Ogata Megumi's voice though <3 Rinka mastering her counters was awesome and totally didn't expect Murasaki to be able to use her ability in such a way; remembering the weapons memories and being able to use it to its best potential :O BA! But well, she can't use it for long so... |
 |
| Well for me Tokyo ESP sofar only stands out in one aspect and that is its absolute pathetic animation quality. Just looks jerky and very sloppy. Plot is just meh/forgettable and the pacing is allover the place. i dont need to know the source to tell its terrible. i doubt much will change in 5 more episodes. |
| Teamwork by Ayumu and Murasaki. Now his mom finds out that he has esp. Wonder how she will take that. |
 |
| I'm so relieved that Ayumu's mom looks a lot different than she does in the manga. Now how will she face Ayumu, though? This episode really didn't have much in it, but hopefully we'll get some plot movement next week.. |
 |
| Rinka beats the afro guy, finally! Same for her friend! In the second half they fight an esper with electric powers and defeat him with the power of teamwork! Looks like the afro guy's mom isn't happy about him being an esper though. |
| Ayumu was really badass at the beginning of the episode by giving Rinka a beating and made fun of poor Murasaki, but until he got owned in style... meh, you can't win them all. Ayumu's precognition is actually really handy for fighting and getting out of sticky situations, although if the target is too far and he can't reach it in time it's useless I guess. Aha, Murasaki can learn how to fight by touching weapons or something to that degree it seems. Murasaki was planning on becoming Brucee Lee I presume... It looks like Kyoutarou is still captive and trying to escape... but at this rate he'll be the weakest character around if he dones't train like the rest :o Good thing Ayumu knew how to get out of that sticky situation with that esper that could use electricity to attack and that Murasaki Lee was with him. I wonder if Ayumu's mom will accept him as he is or reject him hmm. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Basically it's more enhanced training for Rinka and Murasaki, where Ayumu test their abilities to see if they are fitting for the hero title. Though he got beaten afterwords where his ESP only relies on seeing the future. I like the second half of the episode tbh, where we see how Ayumu handles in a dangerous situation with an enemy ESP, about to kill her mother. Although they got him, but his mother felt really shocked about it. I like we get some character development for Ayumu and his ESP power explained smoothly. But I don't know if his mom will be enemies to her son or not. Also Murasaki's abilities was pretty interesting, but I want to see more if what her powers look like, even though it is funny sometimes. |
| ooo This show just keeps getting better. I love all the different powers, and how they go through each ones weakness. The story is a little generic, but that doesn't mean i'm still not waiting to see what happens next! Good Espers vs Bad Espers will probably get REALLY intense soon. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Hey, hey more terrorism! Another decent character building episode focusing quite a bit on the Ayumu and Murasaki. Also brings on the forefront of how an ESP kid feels about his anti-ESP activist mother. I wonder if he will lie about it and show it as bluffing or embrace it like a true shonen hero! And intriguing fight as well. Rinka's training was also handled well. The manga must be really slow if we're seeing this despite the rushing of the material, or the directing and script have actually improved! 4/5 Very well done, brings its ideals on the forefront. Basic, but well founded and competently executed. |
 |
| Good for Murasaki. She went asian combat mode |
| amazing episode and shit all those references lol |
 |
| The mother at the end was horrible. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Well Rinka really changed in those couple of days in her combat abilities. Also looks like Ayumu and Murasaki teamed up to defeat that guy. Hopefully the mom doesn't get all discriminatory because her son's an Esper since that would really suck. |
 |
| I am still really unhappy they changed parts of the anime likeAzuma not staying with Rinka as opposed to the magna as he is there for her during her training and they even go on a date T_T WHY CHANGE WHY T_T |
| Training pays off~! Just look at how awesome Rinka turned out. o-o Or, maybe she just found out the secret to....that "guys" futuristic Esper powers. I forgot his name, and MAL doesn't have a picture of him, so I don't know his name haha. xD But, that's a pretty cool Esper powers, it's just too bad that it can only see in the future for a bit, and not that long. :/ Anyways, that Electric Esper dude got owned by water, then by AWESOME nunchuck moves, and he's down. o-o And it looks...like the Mom now knows of her son's secret....oh boy...... :/ |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |

| stopped episode more than the previous, the story has gone slower than the beginning of the anime, I expect big fights soon come to animate the story .. |

| lol @ thousand hand counter |

| On the sign board of the house, it says Ozora Anakin... hahaha. Star Wars reference there. I am glad that we are getting more of Ayumu and how he battled despite being in a disadvantage. |

| Rinka still trains. She eventually defeats Ayumu whose reaction time was overpowered by Rinka's many counters. Mom found out that you're an esper. So what now kid? |
| Gotta stop myself from reading anymore of the manga this week and the next,as last week I basically spoiled myself by reading everything this episode covered yet still haven't gotten to the point where Kyoutarou was captured. And yea,it's definitely nice to see anything related to him & Minami as well. I'd really like to see the two talk to each other more,share their thoughts & points of view,even if the anime doesn't have enough time to go into details(I'll use the manga to fill in the gaps anyway),at least a bit will do. I think it's important for the anime to at least scratch the surface of certain moments and make the viewers think that maybe there's more to it,which can lead some of them(mostly the ones who are really interested in the series) to look into the manga too,especially when the readers confirm there is indeed more. In that regard,Tokyo ESP's been doing it so far and it worked for me. IMO,the worst thing this and any adaptation for that matter can do is skip out on important events entirely,without even hinting at their existence. When that happens,no matter how much fans of the source material will claim how it's much better & stuff,most anime-only viewers won't have much incentive to look into it. Of course faithful adaptations would be great & all but we all know we're not gonna get that very often in which case,it's good to have at least a few straws to grasp on. Just my point of view. |

| Peggy was awesome as always. Shounen training arc. Murasaki's ability is hilarious, though not as much as Master Panda (reveal his face already xD). 3/5 |

Aeshiryzen said: I kinda lost interest the moment the anime did not follow the manga. In this anime, everybody gets to train while Kyoutaro is stuck doing nothing. thats my grit also :( no. |
wigglejelly said: Is that boy voiced by ikari shinji VA? Yes, it's Megumi Ogata. I think she does a great work with Ayumu, although it's to be expected from a seiyuu of her caliber. I try not to think too hard about the manga while watching, it just makes me sad about this missed chance. I laughed at Murasaki's "300" shirt though. I bet her father bought it. |
| Murasaki needs to start working out so she can handle those intense moves for more than a few seconds.... |
Aeshiryzen said: I kinda lost interest the moment the anime did not follow the manga. In this anime, everybody gets to train while Kyoutaro is stuck doing nothing. Not happy with this either, didn't feel right not having him there while Rinka was developing as a character Watching Ayumu get a beat down twice in one day was fun, especially once Murasaki entered the sparring scene. Need more Yoda's panda boob touch, hopefully we'll get to see it next episode |

Dethneko said: By far one of the best episodes in the series so far. along with episode 1 and episode 4(I think it was that one I liked?) def ep 4. |
| This show is so full of shit. That nunchaku crap was retarded |
 |
HyperTokyo said: Well, now I have some respect for afro boy... His mum's a bit bitchy though considering he just saved her life and she's judging them on being espers.. Those type of people are very common in the real world. People like them don't like things that go beyond the norm and don't try to understand anything that seems different, which in this case would be espers. |

| dragon remember! lOL i pair ayumu and mursaki :3 |

| LOL Murasaki.. didn't expect her to be hilarious. Dragon Remember can only lasts for 20 seconds XD I'm amazed she can even copy Bruce Lee for that long. Great episode after a period of mediocrity although Ayumu's story is almost exactly the same like the one in Hamatora. |
 |
| This episode reminds me of that one episode from Hamatora (which isn't a good thing). Murasaki was fun though. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| that was some quick but maybe useless progression |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Don't know why but I really enjoy watching kids like Ayumu: Has powers but is very reluctant to use them. Doesn't want to change his current lifestyle, but knows that it's inevitable. Wants nothing to do with the fight and being a hero, but is forced into it when the enemy hits a bit too close to home for comfort. In the end his one good deed of saving his mother will lead to his being shunned, disowned, or worse yet arrested. Pretty much prepared for the kid to start living at Rinka's place soon. Still don't get why Azuma still insists on trying to talk sense into Minami. I highly doubt she'll ever give up her ideal, especially since no one knows why she chose to take up said ideals anyway. I mean, if she were indoctrinated, then he would have a chance, but she chose the way of terror of her own volition. Still, I hope they reveal her reasons for doing so soon, she's pretty much due some character development. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Looks like somebody is about to get disowned. I wouldn't want to have a mother like that anyway. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Good episode. The power to see a minute into the future is pretty interesting. |
 |
| Bruce Lee FTW. Chuck Norris next week?? xchee said: This episode reminds me of that one episode from Hamatora (which isn't a good thing). Murasaki was fun though. Same Mother hating on Minimums/Espers Their son's are miniums/espers. Look what happen to Takehiro. At least Ayumu has Rinka and the gang. Ayumu looks like Nice-kun with dat bandage on his nose. XD |
