If I'm getting the picture you're painting of how Faiz worked for you, it's:

1. Auto Vajin
2. Yuuji's hair
3. Yuuji
4. Takumi
5. Nothing else

Yikes!

rip Murakami. I was pretty content with him as the 'main villain' of this show, manipulating things from behind his desk at the top of his large company building, though things never got a chance to become more personal between him and the heroes, closest being his squabbles with Takumi during his werewolf phase. I actually like the thought of Kiba taking over as the villain in this last stretch of the show, but I sadly agree that the way it happens isn't that great.

Also it's kind of funny that Time Vent was recently mentioned. That post where you just added links to all your previous episode discussions on that thread was way more effort than I would ever considered doing and that was like, iconic Die moment.

Ha ha, I'm glad that Time Vent post was fun. It was a dumb amount of work to construct that joke post!

Mostly, I just don't have a lot of interest in watching bad shows and talking about why they're bad. It can be fun once in a while, when there's a bum episode, but when something fundamentally loses sight of how best to tell a story, I just don't really feel like discussing it, past a certain point. Maybe the next couple episodes will even it out?

Murakami was a great villain, and I never even talked about one of my favorite villainous traits of his! That dude listened to villainous music exclusively, and that's great. Just, on his own time, relaxing in his office, he put on Now That's What I Call Villainy! 28 or whatever and enjoyed his afternoon. There's a thing that often gets brought up, that no one thinks of themselves as a villain, but I think Murakami maybe did? Not in a monstrous way, but in an aesthetic way. He deserved better than getting replaced!
