Faiz Episode 20
Oh my God can whoever is holding the damn camera stand the fuck still!? You're giving me a bloody headache! And when did Takumi get a new hairdo? Actually I kinda like it more then his old foppish like one.

Apparently Keitaro is a shitty businessman with the way Takumi and Mari were talking.

Not going to lie, that was a pretty cool transition. Good job show, good job!

Is it just me, or does Takuma sorta look like Hideo Kojima?

Poor Naoya

That was a very nice moment with Yuka and Mari. Very genuine with the way they were talking and acted. I could quite honestly see a conversation going on like that in real life. Plus it came off as being the type of scene you see in your regular dramas, and that was nice to see as well. Very nice scene and probably one of my favorites in the show.

And it is followed up by another nice scene with Keitaro and Naoya. Like the Yuka/Mari one, it came off as genuine and something you would both hear in real life, and in a regular old drama. It's actually pretty nice that the writers had the scenes follow each other. Both are similar in the subject of their respected conversations, the only things different is the genders of the people talking, and how they vocalize the conversation. Very nice contrast which shows off perfectly how men and women can talk about that sort of stuff. So once again the show gets a great deal of credit from me for this aspect. Two of my favorite scenes back to back in one episode. Now if only the four went out a double date, and then throw Kusaka into it for extra lulz.

She kills people with toxic wine? That's...weird. But considering I do not like alcohol and consider it one of the worst things to put in your body, I actually do get quite a kick off of seeing somebody killed by it's touch. So it's weird but kinda cool so for it's odd hilarity.



Oh my God this is going to be fucking priceless. And boy was it priceless. This show is plain comedic gold and I love it for that. Can we just edit out all of the tokusatsu parts and repackage this as a comedic drama?

Holy shit. Yuka has the power to make people sick? Hot damn this episode is filled with wacky powers. First toxic wine and now intense stares that cause illness. What's next? Somebody blinks and causes somebody to spontaneously combust?

That line by Takuma was bad ass. Lady...what's her face (forgot her name) line was just plain creepy. Both were cool but I like Takuma's better. Also, the bartender's Orphenoch design is very nice looking. Actually no, it isn't cool. It's epic.

Well I would say you're fucked Takumi.

Well that was episode 20 and I must say (if it wasn't plainly obvious) that I loved it. I may be weird for saying that, but I thought it was a great episode.

The episode's story didn't really add much to the overall story outside of introducing the bartender's Orphenoch form, as well as introducing a new Orphenoch as a whole. Outside of that, it didn't add much. However as it's own story it was very nice and beyond entertaining. The lack of action and overall tokusatsuness made it come off as a drama episode. If you took away the Orphenoch scenes, you'd think it was as I've said multiple times now, a regular old drama.

Character development wise, I'd say there wasn't any to be honest. I guess there was some with Mari, Keitaro, Yuka, and Naoya, but it was more or less a development of their relationships with each other, and not their individual selves. So I guess you could stretch the definition of CD and say that the episode did have some, but that will probably vary on who you're asking.

Action wise, there wasn't really much. Out of the two fight scenes present in the episode, they were alright. They did a good job of showing how strong Takuma and bartender are when compared to Takumi and Yuji. So in that aspect, they were great. But outside of that, they just weren't all that great. Their main purpose it seems was that of a squash match, get the villains over as big powerhouses and nothing more. I think it did well in that aspect, but they were too short and I would have loved a bit of back and forth.

Overall, slightly good and bad action and not really character development aside, I loved the episode. The episode's story and character interactions made it for me and is entertaining alone for the scenes with Yuka, Mari, Keitaor, and Naoya. So yeah, I liked it.
