Blade 10.

Garren has got his groove back, and man is it badass. Once again though, it's the super attacks which let it down. The fire upper cut was so cool but we once again get no real sense of impact, it just cut away and the monster was already on the floor defeated.

I still don't really understand this whole plot arc though. We never got to see Tachibana really fight before he got crippled by fear, it never explains why he suddenly woke up one day and was terrified of everything and it's weird they use the term 'cure' after the show decided he wasn't actually ill with anything physical.

I know Amane has been through a lot, but does she really need to be a bitch all her life? Kids like her are the reason I always make sure to put something on the end of it.

I see they're doing that thing Kuuga did, where they black out the visors on the helmets to hide the stunt doubles, so the clear visors on close ups look extra awkward. For a show with one of the smoothest, seamless, real time transformations I've ever seen, this trick is pathetic.
