Faiz Episode 22
Well that storm came out of nowhere. Though it seems pretty fitting considering the scene that was going on. Speaking of said scene, very nice continuation of where 21 ended and a very nice way to start off the episode. Going off of it, it's safe to say Yuji does indeed still have a dark side to him.

What's wrong with curry?

Kusaka you are a dick and I love you because of it.

Yuka be lying I do believe.

That was quite the nice little moment between Kusaka and Mari. Mostly it was Kusaka but it was still nice. He came off as being really genuine with his words, as well as how he spoke them. So yeah, another nice touching moment brought to you by a show about monsters and superheroes.

The new Orphenoch looks pretty nice. Though I'm not the biggest fan of his horn. Also with him being a teenager, somebody should re-write Teenage Anarchist to be Teenage Orphenoch.

Oh hey, creepy Smart Brain lady is back. Orphenoch-chan does sound funny though.

And look, it's another one! I like this one's head design more. Curious to see what the rest of him looks like.

I love how Yuji and Yuka are trying to hook Mari and Naoya up like he's their son or something. Good for Mari though. She wants to focus on her dream (which is her work) and doesn't want a relationship to get in the way of that. I do quite congratulate her on that. Reminds me of one of my friends. Also, I love how this restaurant looks, as well as the flowers/garden surrounding it.

Jesus Christ this show is introducing more love angles then a bloody teenage soap opera.

Kusaka mad! Kusaka smash! What's with the static imagery though? Is that suppose to show off how angry he is or something?

Another classic Naoya outburst

Now her wine is explosive? Remind me never to drink at a bar where she is serving drinks.

The new guy looks pretty cool all around with his whole spikey ball motif.

So when Takumi transforms, is the Accel Brace now automatically part of his suit? I don't quite get how since it's a separate piece of equipment that he was given, and had to strap on. So I'm a little confused as to how it now just appears on his wrist whenever he turns into Faiz now.

Holy shit the Accel theme is awesome. And I just love the quick rapid strike rider kicks.

Well episode 22 was as nice as the last two. Like the last two though, there still wasn't that much of a story. This was more or less an episode devoted to confession feelings, and getting people to fight each other. The same can be said for character development, as there wasn't really any for individual characters, or even for character interactions.

The action though was quite improved over the last two in my opinion. Takumi VS Yuji was very nice even for a squash fight. Yes it was mostly Yuji in control, but here it worked since upon seeing Faiz, he became filled with anger. So you could say their fight was Yuji releasing all of said anger, and this gave him a bit of an edge. Of the two later fights, I'd say Takumi VS Takuma and the new guy was the better one since it did feature more back and forth action (well until Takumi turned into Faiz Accel). Yuji and Kusaka VS Saeko (hey I finally looked her name up!) and the other new guy was nice, but it came off as more of a squash like match, and it was also pretty boring to be honest. But regardless, all of the fights delivered in at least one aspect, and as a package gave the episode very good action.

So all in all, 22 was a good episode. It wasn't better or worst then 20 and 21. I'd say all three of them are equally good.
