Faiz Episode 21
Karoaking the Faiz theme is fun.

This beeping sound is annoying the hell out of me. Has since the last episode. What's the point of it exactly? I think the tone of the music, as well as seeing them sick is enough. We don't need a goddamn beep to drive it home!

Uh oh. I'd say you guys are probably about to die. Like now.

Telling Takumi to be courteous is like telling a Black Mamba to not be venomous. And really guy? He dropped the pizza, it didn't leave the box, it didn't get damaged or dirty, and yet you're going to remake it? Is this guy anal or what?

Huh, I guess there are more rooms in the apartment. How come I never noticed those doors before? Okay I noticed them but just thought they were closets or something. Never thought they were actual rooms.

Oh, the pizza guy is an Orphenoch? I smell a scene cooking!

Holy crap Takumi was nice..ish.

And Takumi just charged in like a total bad ass. If he had done it with a gun or with his bike, he would've been going full on Carter Grayson on those suckas.

It's my man Kusaka!

Holy shit the dude has a mace! That is just plain fucking awesome!

Takumi is going to use the pizza as a weapon!

Is it just me, or does the pizza guy's Orphenoch face look like Kintaros'?

Man these guys can't catch a freaking break. Three Orphenochs, all wanting to kill them. I know Yuji probably doesn't want to reveal to Takumi he's an Orphenoch, but I think this is a special occasion.

"'Sup bitch?"

So the Accel henshin device is the Go-Busters changer? Cool. Well going off of that scene, I guess it's sort of like Accel's Trial mode. Except it's a bit more bulkier and actually has a time limit for it's use. And I'm shocked Takumi took out the one wielding the mace. I thought he would have stuck around a a bit longer. But nope, killed in his second episode.

Needless to say, they have a complicated relationship.

Episode 21 has gone by and I must say, it was pretty good. Like the episode that came before it, it didn't feature much in terms of overall story. But as I've come to learn and show through this episodic reviews, it doesn't have to have that big of a story, and if it has one, it doesn't always have to contribute to the overall plot.

Character development wise this one was pretty darn good. Like 20, it mostly focused on the development between two characters, but in how they interact. And that's the highlight of the episode IMO. The beginning of it shows just how different Takumi and Yuji are, but when they begin to have scenes together, you see that they share some stuff in common outside of transforming into super powered beings. Their relationship in this episode was quite lovely, their interactions top notch as far as my opinion goes. It showed off both their differences and similarities, and their conversations fit perfectly to the situation they were in. Once again, this episode nailed it with character interactions.

Unfortunately like episode 20, 21 didn't feature much action. However with the way the action was mostly portrayed, it comes off as being good. The cat and mouse aspect of the Orphenochs versus Takumi and Yuji was very entertaining, and even thrilling. The action isn't that great however once the two transform, their fights then turning out to be pretty short. Yuji gets raped quickly, and Faiz gets his ass kicked until he gets the Accel device. So those action scenes were bad. However the un-henshined stuff was fantastic.

Overall, the episode had amazing character interactions, great action with the two episode's protagonists in their civilian forms, with the iffy bits being the transformed fights and the lack of a full on story. But those cons aside, it was another nice episode.
