Another great episode. It's been hard letting go of Kouga the last year, but I think Raiga is the person I'm content to let it happen with.

Yeah, I thought that seemed to clash with the whole look he had going on too.

Crow is not the character's real name.
It is his title. Makai Kishi Crow (魔戒騎士 吼狼). |

I'm using my imagination and thinking Kaoru had a lot of say in Raigas jacket design. The design on the bottom of his coat resembles her style of drawing or painting. So I wouldn't be surprised if the checkers underneath was her doing as well. If of course she is allowed or qualified to construct it.

The lining of his coat (like the red material inside Kouga's coat in MAKAISENKI) is connected to the horror world, which allows him to pull his sword from nowhere. I don't remember what it was like in the first series.
Different pattern seems to have different functions. |

Different pattern seems to have different functions. Edit: Episode 3 is up now. No Crow this time, and honestly not a lot of Raiga, even. It was mostly the Horror of the week and Mayuri (sans hat, sadly). It was still a good one, though, with some awesomely creepy imagery. In a lot of ways, this one reminded me of the finger collector episode from the original series. I realized something this week, too. Back in the early '00s there was an anime called Big O. One of the characters was a very dry and emotionless robot girl named Dorothy. Mayuri is pretty much the exact same character, right down to body language. She lacks the same dry wit, but everything else feels like an echo of that robot character. Last edited by Switchblade; 04-21-2014 at 11:16 PM.. |

Anyone get real BioShock vibes during the opening ten minutes?
Another pretty generic riding the wheel of season one episode again, but unlike the last episode the gratuitous effects actually served a purpose - the suits in this season are just incredible, even if they are in it oh so briefly. The worst part about this episode is the forced relationship between Raiga and Mayuri. Mayuri looks old enough to be his Mum and the two of them have zero on screen chemistry. Maybe deliberately given the way Mayuri is, but it's hardly been a relationship worth getting invested in so far. The show hasn't been bad so far, but I do kinda hope it gets some of its own personality eventually rather than just constantly trying to recapture the first seasons magic - which it'll never truly be able to do.

Raiga and Mayuri switches places and you get Kouga and Kaoru again.

I thought Kouga and Kaoru's relationship was much more engaging this.
