Faiz er....I forget where I started, but I watched up to thirteen.

It's been alright so far. I don't think it's reached the levels of awful I've heard people talk about yet. Though, Yuka's occasional murder sprees are disturbing as shit. I mean, I know she's had a messed up household, but she's all for Kiba's let not kill humans plan...though it's not like Kiba has his hands clean either. Did...did they forget he killed his douchebag cousin and former fiancee? Did he forget???

Maybe when you first become a natural Orphenoc, you have a massive violent streak or something and you have to try to reign it in. I say natural Orphenoc, because Kaido, who's supposedly the wild card loose cannon of the three main Orphnocs and the only 'non-natural' one, is the one who hasn't killed a single person so far.

Oh wait, there is something that pisses me off. These, uh, love dodecahedrons they've got going on. So Keitaro is in love with his penpal who he doesn't know is Yuka, but he falls for Yuka not knowing she is his penpal so he believes he's two-timing his penpal, UT!!!! Yuka's in love with Kaido, who's in love with Mari and I guess Takumi likes Mari, but Mari might like Kaixa, or Kusaka. ugh....

Look...that's entirely too much. Have a romance subplot, but don't make it...this. Or at the very least don't have Keitaro and Yuka continuously run into eachother and not recognize who they are. If I remember right, there was a scene where she runs into hi mas he's using his cell phone. COME ON! This isn't gonna last the entire series, right? ...Right?

Oh and hey, the Kaixa subplot was pretty interesting. With the fact that it has this deadly belt that apparently kills anyone except Kusaka...I've heard things about this guy. None of them good. But so far? The scene where he's apparently in every sport ever was pretty funny and his personality is Similar to Ren form Ryuki's so far. So, without spoiling anything, on a scale of one to ten 'Fuck you Micchy!'s" how ad does Kusaka get?

I would spout off some speculation or theories about the Lucky clover group, but...there's a black dude in there! Random! Sadly, of course, he's the first of them to fight. But, wait! He can revive! I'm willing to bet he'll still die first before the others even get to transform. Hell, he lost two of his lives already, I think.

Shimada's actress playing Smart Lady will never stop weirding me out. I think she pulls it off well, but man...it's WEIRD seeing her go from a eccentric goofball in Ryuki then act like a mildly creepy goofball in Faiz. Weird or not, I actually really like the contrast honestly.

Oh yeah and Takumi was there too. I wouldn't say he's bland, but he seems like he doesn't care about anything for the longest time. Like it feels like he's just helping fight Orphenoc's cause...well, why the fuck not? He even says as much when he says he doesn't have a dream. The only reason I can gather that he's still doing this is that he finds being a superhero entertaining. I mean he did seem pretty irritated when Kaido had the belt.
