Episode 22:
She was evil the entire time, she played Shotaro for a fool. I just realized, that one of the things I really admire about Shotaro is that he's always willing to believe that deep down, a person is good, and they'll do the right thing, despite what a Gaia Memory may have done to them. I would not be able to do that. After seeing what he's seen, I would always expect a Memory user to be a vile human being and would never trust the to keep their word about anything.

I love the Liar Dopant story. I love how they got across just how badly Jimmy's music stinks. I dig that his fan chick is so totally in love with him that she's the only one not affected by it. And I like the Liar Dopant as a concept, it's one of the more interesting ones, with its special attack that lets it deceive others. I could have gone without seeing Philip in drag, though Shotaro's clown costume is worse, but it made for an amusing scene.

And the introduction to Dr Izaki, the Weather Dopant, is great. I love that they teased us with him for the previous couple of episodes, and now we finally get to meet him, and he's a creepy dude, who gets only creepier as we go.
