[NGW]

Just finished episode 48 of Faiz.

Damn.

First, gonna say I'm still not sure how I feel about the Orphenoc King plot, it was something that had a bit of mention earlier, but it still feels like a bit of a "we need some kind of endgame scenario" pull from the ass, especially since it came up so late in the game.

The far far more interesting thing has been Kiba's fall. It has been handled incredibly well, built up over the course of the entire series, was fairly believable, tragic, and one of the high points for the series I think. And it is accompanied with Kusaka's death. It was absolutely brutal and..I almost felt something, almost. But he was just such an unlikable character and a lot of the dick moves he pulled..you really don't ever get any kind of reason or justification. He didn't want Takumi and Kiba getting closer because he Faiz having allies and getting stronger was an inconvenience for him...umm, why? I may have just glossed over or missed the reasoning behind it, but all we ever really got from him was he has some deeper reason and agenda for why he was doing these things, but aside from wanting revenge and to protect Mari, yeah there really was no good reason to do just about any of the dick things he did. I can understand his distrust for the Orphenocs, even when he was a complete dick to Takumi about it it was at least somewhat understandable, but..I digress.

Getting to the final run here, two episodes remain.
