Scrub 5.

Kenzaki was great this episode.

I really love the Undead designs. Although there is a certain cheapness in how humanoid they are, I love how they are genuinely terrifying. Kamen Rider has had really cool villains, but most of them look like suits. The Undead don't look like they've just stepped out of a costume shop, they look like they've just stepped out of Silent Hill.

Plus the fact that we see them really do some damage, Ivy for example was introduced next to a pile of bodies, is slightly better (although far from perfect) used than it was in the likes of shows like Kuuga. Just a shame this weeks Undead had venom that looked a lot like...ahem.

The only real disappointment is how light the action is in this show, the Undead really don't put up much of a fight, and get sealed very quickly and that is pretty disappointing. Although not quite as disappointing as how unspectacular most of the Sealed Undead turn out to be when used as powers. Although that concept is really cool.

Most of Blade's fights involve people just sorta jumping up and down and throwing impactless punches, while the camera thrashes around to make it look more interesting, while the editor makes it near incoherent.

Amane may be a real bitch, but I feel really sorry for her honestly. She's been caught in the crossfire three times out of five episodes and almost died each of those times. The first time may have been some insanely fucked up coincidence, but the other instances were not her fault.
