Faiz Episode 9
Is Naoya PMSing or something? Seriously I need a better reason for knocking over sandwiches other then "This isn't the time for eating happily."

Yuji seems optimistic as always. I'm almost fairly sure it'll happen, but if it doesn't I really want reality to come crashing down on him HARD. We sort of saw something like that in the first two episodes but since then he's been playing a sort of peacemaker role, only getting involved when needed. Now there's nothing wrong with that, but it's starting to seem like he's always cheerful and optimistic, and is going to play the white knight role of the show. With all of that, I'd like to see it all come crashing down him and see how he reacts then.

For once I fully agree with you Takumi. They are not the police and while Takumi is a Kamen Rider, and thus hero for the city, he doesn't have to help out with every little problem. A prowler is something you go to the police for when you need help with it. It's okay to tell somebody about the problem to get advice, but don't ask them to fully help you with it. On in Keitaro's case voluntarily sign up to do so. If there's any two things that I dislike about this show it's that Takumi is a total asshole save for a couple of occasions, and the fact that this is slowly turning into Scooby Doo with the group taking on local issues that the police should handle.

Uhhhh why did they have to change clothes exactly?

So the big prowler case is that somebody breaks into houses, steals some food and then cleans the entire house? Faiz why are we wasting time on this! The time used to explain that situation and the time spent on this whole angle could have been used for something better. More focus on the Takumi/Mari plot, character development, more stuff with Yuji, Yuka, and Naoya. ANYTHING other then this. I think this is the first time watching this show when I have found a plot point completely stupid. I've said that character traits are stupid, but never a plot point. Well I just did. This prowler/burglar plot is S T U P I D!

"It's nothing you should worry about. We will never let any harm come to him." That ladies and gentlemen is secret code for "He's dead and we killed him."

Protective charm? The belt has brought her nothing but trouble. Also I know what he said was probably a lie of some sort, but why make a belt to fight off Orphenochs when you people are Orpehnochs? Come on that's like a serial killer sending a letter to the police saying his name and when and where he will kill next. It's just going to come back and bite you on the ass.

These two argue like an old married couple.

Oh hey more cockteasing of this romance. Except this time they're face to face and talking. But hey they still won't find out who the other is so, yeah. Oh, she's got to sign something. No, she'll use a fake name, she'll use a fake name. The show isn't going to have them meet, the show isn't going to have them meet.

Knew it.

Uhhh Mr. President I don't think you should be sleeping in the middle of a business meeting.

Now that's a cool looking Orphenoch. Sort of like a mummified beetle. I like it!

SPIRIT BOMB!

Holy shit Naoya is Faiz! I wonder how he got the belt. Did Smart Brain give it to him, did he steal it? Hopefully the next episode explains this.

Well this episode was rather boring. Probably the most boring since the original. True this had some entertainment to it, whereas episode 1 had zero entertainment to it. Still though this one fell kinda flat. There wasn't that much action, no character development, a stupid ass sub plot, and no story at all. The only things noteworthy about it to me is the Orphenoch, and seeing Naoya as Faiz.

So episode 9 was pretty boring and isn't one of the best of the show that I've seen so far.

On the plus side Kaixa comes in next episode! He's the main reason I've been wanting to watch Faiz so it's great that he's finally coming into the show!
