[Dr Kain]

And so we bring Shima's story to a close. At least for now. I really liked him, but for the context of story, he had to go. It is also nice to see them do something with Nozomi instead of just having her whine "Mutsuki" all of the time. Finally, the true identity of Hajime is at last revealed and I have to say I love the foreshadowing that was done way back in the seventh episode. It really shows that the writers actually knew what they wanted to do with his character right from the get go.

Now pardon me while I keep the next segment brief because I absolutely hate these episodes. They just feel out of place and did not fit with the themes and atmosphere of the show. Sure, getting to see Garren's Jack form is cool, but it's not like he uses it more than once more. Oh, but look, its the dude from AbaRanger/GaoRanger/ShouGeki/Battle Royale. That is pretty awesome as I really like that dude. He always plays the most random characters ever.

With that said, I am done discussing these lackisodes, but at least we are now heading into the second main arc of the series.
