[Switchblade]

I'm up to the first episodes with Kou on Dairanger. He's... honestly, I'm kind of ambivalent. On the one hand, he's incredibly annoying, very bratty, and it's actually kind of creepy watching him keep groping Rin (especially since this isn't a cartoon - it's actually a real ten-year-old boy grabbing a real adult woman's breast - ick). On the other hand, though, it seems like there is some emotional core to the character that could be developed into something pretty cool. I guess it's all going to depend on whether or not Kou's childishness gets toned down as the series progresses.

And what the crap is up with the weird kid covered in buttons? Is it supposed to be like a kiddy version of the usual Gouma zippertastic fetish gear or something?
