[NGW]

Just finished Episode 2 of Faiz.

Continuing off what I felt to be a fairly strong start, episode 2 continued to deliver. I really like the mood and tone of this season. I know I've seen people give it crap for being too melodramatic, dark for the sake of dark and all that, but at least what we've had up to this point actually kinda works. Show has some fantastic music as well. Characters definitely need to develop a bit more, I mean honestly at this point I care more about Yuji and feel more sorry for him (to an extent) than I actually care about the good guys. Chie was a complete bitch, don't wanna say she deserved what happened but man...The fight scenes have been great as well, and I love how techy Faiz and his powers seem to be. We're not really getting much in the way of story just yet, but I am rather curious how Smart Brain seems connected both to the orphenoc's and Faiz. Speaking of, Smart Brain chick is hot, especially in that outfit with the thigh high boots....mmmmm. The show is really nicely shot too, some beautiful and disturbing imagery. I really liked the scene with Yuji on the roof, sad and beautiful.
