Helck -11
One thing we can say for certain at this point - more Piwi is always a good thing. Read more
Helck – 04
「衝撃」 (Shougeki) "Shock" It just ain't fantasy without an island adventure
Helck – 12
「信じる心」 (Shinjiru Kokoro) "The Spirit of Faith" Next episode is going to be a riot
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 – 10
「地図を求めて」 (Chizu o Motomete) "In Pursuit of a Map" Allez Cuisine!
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 – 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 – 17
I think we've reached the point where it's not unreasonable to wonder if this flashback has gone on too long.
Helck – 09
「蛮族トースマン」 (Banzoku Tousuman) "Barbarians of the Tothman Tribe" Mad Max goes fantasy
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 – 11
「吟遊詩人の唄」 (Ginyuushijin no Uta) "The Troubadour's Song" Who needs potions when you have muscle
Helck – 21

Helck – 03
「未知の敵」 (Michi no Teki) "The Unknown Enemy" And you thought there wouldn't be a cliffhanger

Helck – 03

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 – 20

Helck – 08
「大陸へ」 (Tairiku e) "Back to the Continent" Never leave home without your fluffy pillow
Helck – 05
「孤島の村」 (Kotou no Mura) "The Remote Island Village" Vamirio isn't old - she's mature
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.
