Blade Scrub 6 - all caught up with the Scrubs O_O Do I move over to the crappy TVN encodes or just drop this show for two months so NDA can sub more episodes?

It's nice to see the weight all of all the dead people addressed in this episode. I don't know what direction Blade is going to take, but if Hirose's fears ring true, her father is very similar to The White Wizard. Also wow Hirose kicks butt!

I loved the dramatic irony of Amane going on about how cool her Dad was, while we watch him die in the snow. Stay classy, Blade.

I love how much of the characters personalities they get through in the Rider portions. Kenzaki especially, is just awesome. It's such a shame though that the awesome that is Chalice is portrayed by such a bad actor out of suit.

Although I must say I was never a big fan of the whole "fear in their hearts, destruction on their mind" crap. I thought the concept of transforming taking a toll on their body was great, and brought the out of suit and in suit actors that much closer. I know that suggesting transforming may be a bad thing, kinda goes against these kind of shows, but that is also what made it special. But oh well, fuck that, time for some existential crisis and bad special effects, I'm turning greeeeeeeeeeen!

I also found it funny that after the Chief's elaborate magnesium escape, Tachibana doesn't question that at all when he suddenly reappears and chats to his girlfriend.
