Helck – 22
I feel like there's a lot of ambling and preambling going on given how late in the series we are.
Helck – 15
I miss the lighter side of Helck, and I certainly miss Piwi. But this is what we punched the ticket for, really.
Helck – 17
I think we've reached the point where it's not unreasonable to wonder if this flashback has gone on too long.
Helck – 17
I think it’s pretty safe to assume there’s a third cour of Helck in the offing, either immediately after this one or as a split cour in 2024. …
Helck – 05
「孤島の村」 (Kotou no Mura) "The Remote Island Village" Vamirio isn't old - she's mature
Helck – 12
Just give me 22 minutes of Piwi and I’m not really bothered about the rest of it. Read more
Helck – 23
You can't just flip a switch and have everything go back to the way it was, but having the main trio back is certainly a start.
Helck – 09
「蛮族トースマン」 (Banzoku Tousuman) "Barbarians of the Tothman Tribe" Mad Max goes fantasy
Helck -11
One thing we can say for certain at this point - more Piwi is always a good thing. Read more
Helck – 14
Helck's flashback is a pretty tragic story, not solely for the bad stuff that happens but for the fact that so much seems unnecessary.
Helck – 18
I don't know what the plan is with six episodes left, but Helck sure is leaving itself with an awful lot of ground to cover.
Helck – 03
There are more questions than answers with Helck at this point. Read more
Helck – 16
The straw that broke this camel's back was going to have to be a bale big enough to feed a herd of cattle.
Helck – 01
「勇者ヘルク」 (Yuusha Heruku) "Helck the Hero" It's tough being the manager
Helck – 10
「地図を求めて」 (Chizu o Motomete) "In Pursuit of a Map" Allez Cuisine!
Helck – 06
「襲来」 (Shuurai) "Invasion" Wait until Vamirio learns about fishing with explosives
Helck – 03
「未知の敵」 (Michi no Teki) "The Unknown Enemy" And you thought there wouldn't be a cliffhanger
Helck – 08
「大陸へ」 (Tairiku e) "Back to the Continent" Never leave home without your fluffy pillow
Helck – 02
「運営スタッフのアン」 (Un'ei Sutaffu no An) "Anne from Management" Never doubt the power of pointy ears, washboards, and ridiculously sized hats
Helck – 21
Obviously the series is playing a long game here, but I am feeling more than a hint of drift.
Helck – 20
The pacing in general seems a bit clunky these last several weeks, and it feels for all the world as if Helck is stalling for time here.
Helck – 19
The segue into pre-flashback mode is so complete that it's jarring only for its suddenness.
