[Switchblade]

O-T has the script up early, so why wait to start the thread?

This was an odd episode. In some ways it's another clip show, but at the same time it fills in a lot of what was going on behind the scenes that the heroes were unaware of. It's interesting to see this angle, especially the way it fleshes out Enhou's spotlight episodes. I should rewatch those at some point now that I know what was behind all of the odd, disjointed cinematography (I already caught the double water ring on the bar, and apparently there's an obvious visual cue about Tousei in there, too).

The other half of the episode was good, too. I'm not sure we needed the characters to be public enemies again, but I don't think the show will do much with that since they already devoted several episodes to it the first time. The clean-up of the Kaneshiro family was brutal - if there was any hope for saving Enhou after all of this I think it's gone now; you don't come back from murdering and eating kids.

Next week looks pretty epic. An all-out fight between Knights and Horrors and it looks like Tousei may get his chance to turn Ryuga after all. I'm loving how intense this show is getting.
