[Switchblade]

I'm up through 26. Thoughts so far:

Twenty-five sure was a clip show! Interesting info about the spy, though. Probably not a coincidence that they immediately cut to some MP chick we've never seen before.

Twenty-six was all about Ren. I like him. Probably because it feels like the writer watched a lot of Kuuga before creating him. He has a lot of the same "Godai Lite" feeling that Eiji from OOO was also rocking. I'm down with this. In fact, I was kind of disappointed when we cut back to Komon and I was all "Oh yeah, this guy's the real main character. " I'm interested to see what his deal is, but so far I'm really, really liking him. I hope he doesn't put on a bunch of necklaces and dies in the last episode.

I like that the monsters and the MP's memory wiping are starting to become an urban legend. It's a cool development and proves that there really is no way to keep all this shit under wraps forever.
