[Gold Ninja Drive]

I'm probably going to be waiting a few episodes before giving my overall opinion, mostly since I want to wait for my overwhelming hype to die down a bit. Especially since my hype went so high that now my cynicism is out. I reeeeally hope that Ex-Aid doesn't fall into "poor execution" territory down the line.

I can say that I enjoyed the fight scene. I'd like to think that Takaiwa had some fun filming the Lvl2 bit, especially those little shimmies at the beginning and during the finisher. It makes Emu look like he's a kid in a candy buffet.

I also thought that the bit with Asuna joining Emu in his clumsiness was kinda cute, in a fluffy kittens kinda way. The way she's set up, she looks like she'll be a cool character, and I hope they keep that up through more than just the "Poppy tongue-twister" bits.
