Never have I felt so bad for a villain before

And Oh god the ending theme to this anime is so very wrong.

This show continues to surprise me. Its coloring is that of a kiddie show, all bright & shiny markers. The plot seems like a middle-schooler's quest game. The humor is on the order of a burlesque show's humor. Surprisingly, the disparate factions work to make a delightful whole. In other words, I really enjoyed episode 2.

The exact lines I wanted to say about this episode.

The moment the doctor appeared at the start. I knew he was in for some bad news. More bad news for him next week.

I think Kon found his killer move, which is capable of defeating any male enemy.
For those who know the Japanese original, what does KT stand for? Do they all have names like DT and ED?

Wow. I've never seen a protagonist I less wanted to fight. So, so scary, that DT.

And there's something retro about the art.

It's a pun. It also means DouTei, virgin.

I think he might be the cruelest hero yet.

The episode was fine and despite the none-too-subtle humor I laughed a lot (I think I found the successor to Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san... XD), but what made this episode was the ending.

Oh my god, that ending.
THAT ENDING. XDDDD

~LET'S GO ED! IKE IKE GO GO!!~

(If this keeps up ED may just become my favorite villain of the year...)

He's voiced by Kamiyan so I admit I am terribly biased in his favor

Loving how all the villains are bishounen. LOL

It doesn't help that Kamiya has just finished voicing another white-haired pretty boy villain... (Freecell in Phi Brain)

By the way I really wonder why the subbers don't translate the OP/ED lyrics. I'm sure it wouldn't be easy (due to all the "double meanings") but still, they're hilarious.

Erecpyle Dukakis. Is there an English-speaker on the crew?

And I'll say it: Dat trap!

So about the show's naming sense. It seems director Shinji Takamatsu was the one who named Kon & Erec, the others were by series composer Akatsuki Yamatoya.

Kon's full name 火風紺 is apparently CAPCOM written in kanji phonetics and took him only 30 seconds to come up with. He originally wanted to call ED Erectile (zero subtlety lol) but the staff opposed it and so Erecpyle it was.

Meanwhile, Yamatoya based everyone else's names off racing horses.

How did the Green hair trap became a trap? There are times that I forget that the trap is actually a male, and I'm interested to know his backstory.

Erecpyle I think was the much better choice, because as you say it's less obvious so when it does hit you it's funnier.

LOL at where Kon's name originated too. Thanks for sharing that!

Oh my god, the hilarity.

The opening's double entendre, the various homages, the innuendos, the sheer absurdity of it! (really? DT mc kicks antagonist in the balls, and then proceed to loot his sword. ED in every sense of the word now lol)

Sold.

This anime is the dark horse of the season
