Finished Hibiki just now.

Pulled the Kuuga stunt of not actually giving us a proper final battle, this time opting to just skip ahead a year. I sort-of get why Heisei KR does finales that are a bit crap but it still bugs me.


Really disappointed that it didn't end with Asumu becoming an Oni, especially when Kirya does. I never liked him at all. I liked the end scene between Hibiki and Asumu though, for a moment it felt like the old pre-Retool Hibiki show came back.

The Todoroki learning to walk again stuff... stuff like that is where you can really tell Toshiki Inoue would rather have been just writing soap operas or something.

All in all, Hibiki was a mixed bag. Some interesting stuff that's different from the stuff just before it, but you can tell the retool happened.

Will decide whether to go right into Kabuto in a bit, or find something else to watch as my next Toku.
