Killing Bites

1834

Synopsis

People have been created that are human-animal hybrids, and powerful businesses bet on the outcome of their duels. College student Nomoto Yuuya's casual acquaintances ask him to drive them around to pick up girls one day, which he soon finds out means by force. The girl they kidnap is an animal-human hybrid named Hitomi, who slaughters all of them except Yuuya. Hitomi is a honey badger, which has been called the most fearless of all animals. Now Hitomi is assigned to stay with Yuuya, for his protection!

This is my guilty pleasure show of the season. Hitomi is so hot, and the ratel is my favorite animal.

[Munsu]

I skimmed a bit of the first episode, it looked so trashy, but maybe with good violent action... I'll give it a try.

So far my guilty please has been Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens, not sure how I feel about it yet, but it entertained me plenty.

What utter trash. Count me in.

I hope the fights have at least a little thought put into them so they can camouflage the villain of the week format, and I look forward to more crayon drawings of the animals accompanying earth-shattering revelations like "lions roar real loud". Its a ridiculous way to introduce fight powers/dynamics, and I hope they keep it up.

[Kraco]

The first episode was quite amusing. This show doesn't try to pretend to be anything more than what it is.

[shinta|hikari]

The second episode is just as entertaining.

Honey Badger don't care.

[Kraco]

The MC dude's role doesn't seem too enviable, even if he does catch occasional glimpses of something nice. That will probably be all, after all. In exchange for that he needs to fear for his life all day long.

Hitomi has now thrice delivered the one-liner about fangs, and for the first time she used her fangs. The claws seem more formidable so far, though. Her beast form doesn't exactly have the kind of fangs the lion dude possessed, for example.

[neflight86]

At the end of the second episode, I was amazed that it wasn't 2 or 3 episodes. There were around seven story beats that could have been easily stretched out or padded. Good on Killing Bites for not messing around!

[Mizuchi]

Ep 3

--------------------------------------

There's that one liner again. If that's the case:

1. Why do they do that long drawn out explanation of the 4 clans in the beginning of each episode? Why not just say: "Killing Bites, the battle where the one with the sharpest fangs wins"?

2. Why fight at all? Why not just do a test of who's teeth are sharper and call it a day?

3. Why did Shidoh choose a ratel instead of a goblin shark? Goblin sharks have even sharper teeth.

None of this makes any sense. Too many plot holes.

[Kraco]

The rabbit was funny. Highly airheaded as well. If she indeed is faster than most other brutes, she could be put to proper use in a 3vs3 match. She could distract the opponents disastrously, provided the other two survive the initial clash against three opponents (assuming the opposing team does have three brutes actually capable of fighting).

[Mizuchi]

Ep 4

-------------------------------------------------------

Not sure if you all caught it, but we learned some important information this episode. We learned that the one with the sharpest fangs wins, that's what killing bites is. This revelation was quite subtle, so you may not have noticed it.

What's the timestamp?

[NeoCybercoin]

It's around 19:25

You are right. The one with the sharpest fangs wins! That is what Killing Bites is!

Didn't know why it took the show so long to tell us?

[shinta|hikari]

Mindblown.

I didn't realize it at all until I rewatched the episode and focused on the scene in the timestamp. Thanks Neo!!

[Mizuchi]

This show is bad and we should feel bad for watching it.

[shinta|hikari]

Except it isn't. The ratel is king, and the one with the sharpest fangs wins.

[Mizuchi]

Get out (insert extra characters to meet character requirements of a post).

Anyone watching Fate/Extra Last Encore? Sorry I know it's not the right thread but didn't want to create a new one if no one's watching

[neflight86]

Word has it that the simply the possession of the most weaponized mandibles may, in fact, hold a significant advantage in this competition... you could even say that it explains the meaning of the name "Killer Bites"... but this is the Destroyal?

I wish Leo didn't try to find meaning in her obvious posturing.

So... do the other pieces /beasts move around in real time, or do the players take actual turns while the fighting is going on? Did the hippo and rabbit have move signals, or is MC dude directing them?

Also, announcer chick is entirely too into the fights, and Zaibatsu grandaughter girl will likely be the first eliminated due to her haughtiness.

[Kraco]

Episode 5


- - - - -




If you are beaten by a bloody gecko, you aren't a tough fighter at all. It's nothing but a lizard that can only hunt things a thousand or at least a hundred times smaller than its own size. She might have a firm grip, but otherwise gecko genes would only make the woman weaker, not stronger. Hitomi beat the big bear no sweat, but a gecko is wiping the floor with her? Right.

It would be cool if the MC dude could at least lie a bit and keep his cool to a reasonable degree. Why does he need to confess the reason he sent Hitomi to the other place? He could have simply said: "You'll see."

[Kraco]

Episode 6




- - - -


I had already totally forgotten, but fortunately this episode reminded me of the fundamental fact that the one with the sharper fangs wins, that's what killing bites is.

Why is the hippo so weak? In nature they should be tanks that fear nothing (except anthrax). Also, how come the pervert cobra became so gigantic? No other brute grows 10 times larger when they transform, but the cobra somehow grew to ridiculous proportions. Still, what's important is that pervert's death, so it's cool.

[NeoCybercoin]

She even said it two times since she didn't do it last episode to make up for it!

Poor Cobra Cannon though.

But yeah the whole transformations bit is just odd. That other chick did a full body transformation. If we follow that trend then Ratel, Cheetah and Rabbit/Bunny can all transform further to become stronger. Then again, fanservice....

[neflight86]

To avoid being put on a government watch list for googling it, I must ask here: why did he seem to have two cobra cannons? Why were they not censored, unless I'm truly mistaken about what they were supposed to be?

[NeoCybercoin]

I think that's because a snake has two dicks. And since they don't look like human ones and more monstrous in nature like a tentacle I guess it's fine not to censor that?

[NeoCybercoin]

New episode is out.

And I do not mind. Not one bit.

Episode 7



- - - --- -



So what exactly is that Kido guy? A turtle? An armadillo? Pure physical defence as such isn't so commonplace in the nature among the bigger animals, at least not these days.

The audience got a pretty good show this time, at least on Hitomi's side. I have no idea how the rabbit girl can't lose the gorilla. Even as a small animal a rabbit is faster than a gorilla, but now we are talking about a human sized rabbit, which would be even faster. Well, of course, unless her plan was to simply lead the gorilla away somewhere. That would explain it.

[Munsu]

Just when I thought this series couldn't get trashier lol.

I've been disappointed in Hitomi though, she's struggling too much in these fights, particularly against Cheetah. And now she's going against Tiger, so I'm not sure how that will go if she's struggling with lesser fighters.

Then I see how Tiger is lamenting that Leo isn't here to give him a good fight, and we saw how Hitomi fucked Leo up fairly easily. I don't know, just hoped to see Hitomi being substantially better than some of the ones she's faced.

I was originally going to mention the same thing, but then I thought about a bit more. A honey badger isn't actually specialised in killing large prey. It's a good fighter, I reckon, but its strengths isn't easily slaying a big opponent, which is something this series has tried to convey in my opinion. So far the fights she won smoothly were those where the opponent was really looking down on her or was a slow one, without any special tricks. Plus I don't think Hitomi has any martial arts training whatsoever, and her experience is lacking as well.

I still think anyone should have been able to beat the gecko. It's just ridiculous how much trouble a stupid lizard gave to Hitomi and Cheetah.

Just the same I was going to make the observation on the honeybadger, but was still hoping more from her heading into the REALLY tough opponents.

Episode 12 Final


- - - - - -



What exactly was the point of this ending? It would have had a certain kind of morbid style if the dude had really died, but then he reappeared two years later. So, Hitomi couldn't make herself kill him? The MC ought to have quite a decent scar as a result, so would that be her excuse if someone asks? It's pretty pointless. In the first place I don't even know why Shidou even ordered his death in the first place. There would have been any number of people who knew how the therianthropes were used in the beginning, including a bunch of therianthropes themselves. Killing them all would be quite inconvenient as even the infamously incompetent Japanese police would have been able to put two and two together in such a case. So, the order had to have something to do with Hitomi herself. Shidou probably wanted to make sure Nomoto wasn't around to have any influence on Hitomi. However, it's quite a dangerous and irreversible step considering Shidou's own relationship with Hitomi. Considering she left Notomo alive, that link is already broken.

Not that it matters as I doubt this show will get a second season.

Well, I enjoyed the ending, though I share some of your concerns. That said, I think assuming simply that Hitomi couldn't make herself kill him is just jumping to conclusions. Sure, one could see that she didn't obliterate him, but just the same she could've easily thought as well that the attack she did was enough, and that she indeed went through the attempt to kill him. But who knows, guess we'll have to read the manga for the rest.

But I liked this last episode overall, though there was little Hitomi in general to finish up the series.

In all, for a trashy series this began and ended up being, I was thoroughly entertained by it.

[Kraco]

I considered that, but it seems unlikely to me she wouldn't know what's a lethal wound and what is not. She's half animal. If that still is a point, I would say she left it to the fate: Nomoto has a chance to survive, but he might as well die. In a sense leaving someone to slowly die in an remote place is more cruel than killing them cleanly, but, again, she's not entirely human, so she might think otherwise. So, she did "kill" him, but if he has what it takes to struggle (like an animal), he can pull through.

Regardless, what is clear to me is that someone had to rescue him. So I wonder if that was by design, by chance, or a 3rd party has been monitoring either or both him and Hitomi. Maybe the other player who was in control of the Sumo. She seemed to like him.
