What I'll probably end up doing is a Series Wrap-Up post at 29, and another at 48. Basically treat them like two separate series. With all of the controversy and animosity the production switchover created, I wouldn't feel super great about trying to assess this as one series that's trying to say one thing. I'm okay looking at it as a run, followed by another run.

Yeah, that's fine. Pretty much everyone ignores the warning, but I still feel compelled to give it anyway. This is like the second or third time this month.

(I almost went with Claremont for my analogy, but this would be '00s Claremont and the back third of Hibiki isn't full of thinly veiled BDSM fetishism. If you want Inoue writing his kinks into the story you want either Cutie Honey the Live or Shougeki Gouraigan)
