[Switchblade]

Okay, I do like that the show is starting to explain more of its mythology and that the Gramps/Edith thing is finally being acknowledged. I was especially surprised that Takeru was always meant to be Ghost, but as a spirit outside of his own body like Makoto and Alain used to be. Very interesting stuff.

The rest of this episode, though... ugh. The ghost versions of the Brothers Grimm were both obnoxious and incredibly clichéd, Onari writing on Alain's face was both stupid and entirely random, and the dream visions were far more creepy than funny (I love how Makoto has so little personality that the only thing the writers could think of for his strongest desire was parading his sister around in silly costumes).

It seems like every time this show has a good idea, it immediately undercuts itself by ignoring the interesting ideas in favor of wacky shenanigans. I cannot wait for this series to wrap up. I'm almost willing to see Toshiki Inoue return at this point, because while his shows post-Agito may have been awful, at least he tried to tell a serious story.
