Faiz Episode 35
Takumi's Orphenoch design is pretty darn cool. The only thing about it I don't like is the fur. Know it's a wolf and all but it just doesn't really fit with the suit IMO. Outside of that nitpick, suit looks great.

And lul at everybody being like "Dafuq is this shit?"

Uhhh I really do not like Mihara. This whole running away/going home thing is driving me nuts. Dude just man up and fight. I know that the Japanese tend to not get into others affairs, but this one is pretty much directly effecting your life Mihara. So shut the hell up, let your balls drop, and start fighting.

"Oh nothing much. I was thirsty and wanted to invite you out for drinks. We're having nice cold glasses of PUNCH!"

You for being 35 episodes in, I'm surprised I never questioned this: how come Keitaro wears his phone around his neck? Is he afraid of losing it if he puts it in one of his pockets? Was it just easier for him to get to it if it was around his neck? I'm really quite curious as to why he does so.

I have to agree with Saeko here. I could easily see Takumi turning on them within an episode or two once Mari is alive and back to normal again. Murakami seems pretty content though as he seems to trust Takumi. Maybe he ordered the doctors to put something in Mari so that if Takumi disobeys him, he can press a button and Mari drops dead wherever she is laying. That would be how you control somebody who you ask to bring back to life.

That scene give off a Frankenstein feel to anybody else?

Mihara it's nice to see that you may have finally grown a set, but I think your friend is dead. She doesn't seem to be moving. So she's either unconscious, or she's dead.

Nevermind she's alive.

You may not be a ghost, but hot damn girl are you going to freak them out a bit. After all, you just came back from the dead. Pretty sure that would freak quite a few people out.

That Orphenoch is Takumi isn't it? I'm calling it now, the Orphenoch that attack Mari's school reunion is in fact Takumi.

Jesus Christ Kusaka! The fuck you hit Mari for? You couldn't just shove her or tell her to shut up? Did you really have to punch her?

Well I just want to say...CALLED IT!

Well that was 35 and I must say it was a pretty nice episode. It like 34 hit every category one could asks for in an episode. And to be fair, it did it better then 34.

The episode's story was done very well in my opinion. It had a good pace to it with how everything unfolded. It's also a pretty easy story (IMO) to see: Takumi fighting to get Mari saved, he does so, and the fallout from it beings to happen. The story also added to the overarching main plot in the form of Mari being revived, Takumi joining Lucky Clover, and Mari remembering what exactly happened on the day of the Ryuusei School reunion.

The same goes for the character development parts of the episode. The development was mostly for Takumi, however it (like it should) played right into the episode's story. Takumi developing as a character himself, and Takumi developing his relationship with everybody close to him, especially Mari. Like the story, the character development here was very nice.

Finally we come to action. Just like the last two, it did very well in my opinion. Takumi VS Saeko and Sawada was a great fight and did a great job at introducing Takumi's Orphenoch form/powers. Mihara VS the one Orphenoch (How come the other guy didn't join in? Was he just a driver?) was good too, and showcased him (Mihara) finally accepting that he may just have to fight, evident by him seeming to willingly use the belt as well as fighting back really hard. Kusaka and Takumi VS Saeko and Takuma was pretty good as well. It had some nice back and forth, but not so much as to still keep Saeko and Takuma are still threatening. All around, the action was very good.

35 hits on all of the levels in my honest opinion. It has good action, and outright great character development that comes with a great story. But like 34, even though it is firing on all cylinders, it could be better some. So even with all three categories hit, and hit well, it is not a perfect episode. However I will say that it is in fact the second near perfect episode of the show.
