Faiz 41-42:
One thing that really jumps out to me about episode 41 is just how...
warm
it is. It's very much a calm before the storm kind of deal, before the show moves into the last act, but again, it's always cool seeing fow friendly all these people have become over time. Takumi and Yuuji are finally bros, Takumi and Keitarou are bros, Takumi and Kusaka... uh, well, Kusaka isn't trying to kill Takumi anymore. Okay, not
everything
is going great, but there's a very clear emphasis now that Takkun is back with everyone on showing how much happier they are when they're together. It's sweet.
Things start going south rather fast in 42, when the series-spanning, occasionally hibernating arc of Soeno and Sawamura's investigation into the murders caused by the Orphenohcs starts paying off in earnest. Look, I know it took them a while, but not everyone can be as competent as Ichijou from Kuuga, okay? Actually, I think Jinno and Makura would've gotten this done quicker. Although that depends on if Ryuu is there or not...
Tell you what, I'll get back to actually discussing Faiz's plot as soon as I work this out.
Riiiight
after I mention Mihara's continuing adventures this time, now that he's cementing his position as Kaixa's unofficial sidekick. With a mentor like Kusaka on his side, I'm sure he's on the path to becoming a true hero of justice!
では、いつものファイズ翻訳ミスコーナーです~!今日の翻訳ミスはこれだ!
「元気そうで良かったよ、本当」
The subtitles for these episodes were downright appalling . This line here, which should be "I'm really glad you're doing well" (the last time Keitarou saw this kid was in a burning building), is far from the worst offender, but since there are so many lines on this level, and since, even knowing the actual dialogue, I don't understand the police's mad scientist plan well enough to explain it, I've picked this one instead, largely for the cruel, ironic value. Because frankly, with subs like this, I am most certainly
not
doing well.
It's worth noting that part of the problem here is that, the further I've gotten from episode 30, the more 1:1 Agony and TV-N's subs seem to be getting. Although Agony
did
make sure to add some extra color to this other line from 41, so that's something.
W 41-42:
Alright, before I run out of chances to mention this, Double's opening is perfect. Not the song I mean (well, that too), but visually, the way it's put together is simply flawless. It's flashy and cool with shots like the ones involving Double standing in front of those fans, but it's also
exceedingly
cleanly and easy to process, expositing a lot about the show entirely through visuals, as any good opening should. It even follows the basic narrative pattern of the show, going from "client shows up", to "investigation", and then "cool superhero stuff" at the chorus. It's so well thought out, I could pretty much write an entire paragraph like this describing why each individual shot is cool.
But then I've got the actual show to talk about, so maybe some other time. Funnily enough, this arc is all about how cool Jinno is. They even play Nobody's Perfect once in each episode over flashbacks of him just to make it that much more clear. After the last arc's detour into wacky film antics, this one is a nice, familiar, straightforward detective story. The mystery at the core is very solid, with another memorable antagonist, and some good twists you probably won't see coming right away. At least, it fooled me for a second, and I've already seen these before.
I touched on this back during the Virus arc, but since then it's also become a regular thing for Double arcs to have some line of dialogue or repeated phrase that keeps coming back up throughout, with the context around it always changing a bit each time. The one here, where Shoutarou keeps insisting that Jinno isn't easily fooled, but is instead
great
at being fooled, is a particularly nice example. By the end of the story, you really do come to understand what Shoutarou means by that, and I like that we got a plot that calls a bit more attention to the fact that these two are buddies. Their odd little friendship has always been fun in the scenes where it comes up.
Also, it's no wonder I became so fond of Accel Trial when the show gets so much mileage of it. The absurd amount of times Ryuu has run in from offscreen just in time to save something/somebody from oncoming danger would almost be grating, if it weren't so awesome.
