Ordinarily I'd be begrudging the heavy use of CG myself, but the thing is, the kinds of crazy dynamic camera movements all throughout those scenes would be extremely difficult to pull off if you were using models on a miniature set and a dude in a clunky robot suit. For once, I feel like they actually gained something from using computer effects.

I've gotta agree with Byg42 here. If anything, the scene where Kairi sees (a notably more calm than usual) Keiichirou promising that group of people they're going to take down the Gangler just reinforces how much this is all relative.

This show's been fairly light on plot so far, but it's very quickly done a great job building up the dynamic between the two teams, and much like Lupin Red choosing to shoot out that ceiling in the premiere, his decision to just leave after getting the piece of the Lupin Collection here says a lot more than it might look like at first.
