えぇぇぇ~ Man, you're dissing episode 4 AND Zero-One's form changes in one post? I happen to be a huge fan of both of those things, so this is something of a bummer. But you know, I guess seeing you still can't decide what color Zero-One is just reminds me how subjective things can be. I really love how this episode manages to flesh out Fuwa so well while doing so much else at the same time. It's an episode of the show that's always stood out to me, the same way Zero-One's neon yellow coloring always stands out!

(I always thought it was odd how swiftly the show introduced and dropped the whole secret identity shtick for Zero-One though. It doesn't actually end up feeling particularly unnatural in terms of pacing -- somehow -- and looking back I definitely feel like they made a good call, but it just seems like the sort of thing that would've lasted until some dramatic end-of-story-arc climax or something, you know?)
