Ikebukuro West Gate Park

I was stunned for a bit there, especially at the last part. Having to resolve the conflict was satisfying to watch, but at the same time, the betrayal really stab you at the back. Makoto really is a true troubleshooter. I also see him as a strong leader, especially if he were to lead a group or something. What a great way to end the season. Overall, it’s not perfect, but it still delivers.

This takes a 180-degree turn, the rivalry and tension are off the charts, and we’re not done yet. I never expected Makoto to get caught up in this mess. I mean, he’s the troubleshooter guy, and now he’s the one in trouble. I hope things will be okay in the next episode, so don’t skip this one.

I mean, this is my favorite one so far. It’s a simple case, but it carries meaningful emotion and centers around “forgiveness.” Makoto really is Ikebukuro’s troubleshooter. He’s not part of any gang, nor is he a police officer, but everyone respects him and relies on him. He’s like a superhero for ordinary people out there.

Another slow episode for me, I guess, but honestly it wasn’t bad at all. We got some familiar faces returning, and I think we’ll be getting some kind of continuation from what happened in Episode 1. Overall, it’s not that great, but it’s not bad either.

One word I can use to describe this episode is: Family. Like in previous episodes, this is something that also happens in real life. The pacing is slow, yet emotionally meaningful. This episode does a good job of showing the characters' personalities and highlighting the relationship between Makoto and his mother.

I guess that wraps up this two-part episode. The tension eased somewhat thanks to Makoto, who really did his best to act as a mediator between the two sides in conflict. Credit goes to the Red Angels as well. Now I think we're back to a case-by-case format for each episode. I'm just hoping the upcoming stories will be even more interesting.

Yeah, this is the kind of episode I like, more focused on gang conflict and Makoto being stuck in the middle of the chaos. Don’t even get me started on Makoto’s side quest as well, haha, it was hilarious. But going back to the main issue, I think things are going to get worse. I guess we should watch out for the second part.

Another serious issue was explored in this episode. I guess we all want to succeed in life and provide the best we can for our loved ones, and I think that's the moral lesson here. I liked seeing Makoto's human side in this episode, it really stood out. Lin was a great addition as well. The pacing remains gentle; it's not rushed, but it doesn't feel too dragged out either. I'd say, keep watching.

I'd say this episode wasn't bad at all. It tackled a serious issue, abuse, which is unfortunately something that happens in real life as well. Although the pacing is still slow, it makes up for it with its emotional weight. I liked how Makoto handled everything on his own here. I mean, it wasn't really his responsibility, but he genuinely cared. The visuals were still spot-on, and I especially liked the colorful nighttime scenes shown in the first part of the episode. Overall, It's not great, but it's good enough!

This is what they call " for the content," haha, peak Gen Z era. For me, the pacing dragged a bit, or maybe a lot. There wasn't much action going on. I was hoping we'd get something like in Episode 1, more tension and excitement, but nope. I was bored actually. I think you can safely skip this one.

Serious tension in this episode. I thought there was a rivalry brewing, or at least that's what it seemed like at first. Good thing they resolved the conflict instead of letting the misunderstanding go too far. That brawl fight at the end was satisfying to watch. Overall, it's not a particularly hype anime for me, but it's still watchable if you're into laid-back, street-level drama.

This one is interesting, I loved the vibrant feel, it looks crisper and more colorful. The OP soundtrack isn't bad, though it's not particularly hype. I think maybe we're getting some kind of street-level conflict or something, there's a tension a bit specially that last part. I'm keeping an eye on this one. I'd say the pacing is fine; it's building up the plot, but that's about it for now.

Fue un buen capítulo final; sin embargo, siento que faltó más desarrollo de personajes, profundizar más en los más relevantes. La trama quedó abierta y sin algún propósito en específico. Hubo muchos aspectos que quedaron sueltos y, aunque se tocaron muchos temas, no hubo una resolución real y otros elementos que dan para otra temporada.

Este capítulo tiene un aura más oscura, y también con sucesos inesperados, todo saliéndose de control y generando caos por todos lados, aunque sí parece un poco desordenada la historia en este punto. Presentando algo importante casi al terminar la serie.

Este capítulo fue interesante, no tan oscuro y dramático como los anteriores, pero sí con una historia poderosa sobre las percepciones y prejuicios que podemos tener con respecto a alguien. Makoto es un ser muy dulce que, pese a ser un justiciero muchas veces, es sensato y amable, nada impulsivo o ambicioso. Hubo mucha tensión en este capítulo y no había forma de no estar de acuerdo con las partes involucradas.

Este capítulo no fue tan bueno o no se desarrolló de una forma tan interesante; el tema a tratar sí lo era y había varias cosas que daban para que fuera más dinámico este capítulo y tuviera ese toque de emoción, pero no lo suficiente.

Este capítulo es particularmente gracioso en algunos puntos: la relación que tiene Makoto con su mamá y, a su vez, el cuidado y empatía que demuestra, que a diferencia de los primeros capítulos, parecía alguien totalmente diferente. Por otro lado, la situación que se aborda en este capítulo no se romantiza como se suele hacer siempre, sino que presenta lo que quizás muchas mujeres han vivido y sentido sin culparlas por ello.

Esta es la continuación de lo que pasó el capítulo pasado: conflictos entre bandas, caos y disputas innecesarias, pero cabe resaltar el papel de "Sombra", un personaje particular y muy misterioso.

El tipo de animación no es excepcionalmente gráfica, podría ser incluso un poco pobre, pero esto es bueno porque se centra más en la historia y la situación del momento que en las escenas gore y explícitas que puedan haber. Me gusta que todo pareciera en orden con los grupos de Ikebukuro, pero realmente no lo está del todo.

Fue una historia bonita, pero nada fuera de lo común o extraordinario, aunque al inicio pareció indicar otra cosa. Por otro lado, fue bueno ver un poco más sobre la vida de Makoto, su cotidianidad y cómo está; pese a lo sencilla y fuera de los problemas de los chicos g , es afortunada.
