Oh man, I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on that one.

Lol, holy shit. This episode was sending me to sleep, I kept thinking "Why, 'that' episode?", then the twenty minute mark happened and it was like I was watching a live action episode of Madoka. This is basically Gaim as told in a single episode, isn't it?

So does Wataru not age?

I love this shows sense of scale. A big problem I have with a lot of shows, is they present a fate of the world narrative, yet centre it all in a single time and place. I love how although Kouga and Zero are some of the strongest, they are just two pieces on a much larger board, that transcends infinitely backwards and forwards through time.

Still though, Red Mask's Aizen levels of overkill is killing the show for me. I mean not only is he a top class Priest, Knight and wielder of Horror magic, but he can also build Horror killing mechs as well? Fuck off.

Oh wow, Leo was Red Mask all along.... *queue absolutely no shocked gasps from the audience at all* I was kinda holding out, due to the whole mask thing, that this would in fact turn out to be a woman, since they bothered dragging the gender roles business into the main series from the movies, as that would have made Red Mask way more badass. Instead that just turned out to be a red herring, and probably was never intended to be as such in the first place.

I'm wondering if Purple was also intended to be a Red Herring, as I started to wonder if they'd pull a whole death switch bait thing with him but no, it was just the most obvious answer possible. Red Mask sucks. And GARO still can't quite get its pacing right.

When it started with a Horror made out of text, I thought this was gonna suck so bad, but I hadn't realised how much I missed Rekka, until the show reminded me what a badass babe she was. I also love watching her fight, especially as they get her into situations like this:

Everything aside from the action though...was weak at best. The romance aspect of this show is pure crap, but at least in the first season they tried, here Kaoru has barely been in the show at all so there has been no tension around Kouga trying to keep it a secret from her.

I don't care about Kaoru or her shitty picture book. I don't believe in their romance and Kouga has better chemistry with Rekka or Jabi than he does with the utterly bland Kaoru. Yet they still force this romance business right into the heart of everything and it's just like 'why!'.

Also random nudity, it's been a while!
