I also really loves Blade in so many aspects and I could say that this series is like Drive; slow at first but the kicking the top gear when needed. Not going to spoil so much here. Just have a fun ride with Blade .

I really look forward to this, I can't imagine how I could enjoy this even more

It's shockingly good.

If you even slightly liked Ghost you owe it to yourself to go watch it.

I will do it, for you. Who subbed it so far? If it's only TV Nihon then I'll have to wait.

I like Keitaro, but his main problem is that he is featured in Faiz. The stupidity involving this character is off the charts. The penpal thing was especially dumb IMO.

And he's too silly I think. While Kotaro can step and really be serious if he needs to Keitaro always just seems like a joke to me, I can't buy anything this character does.

I mean it's not just him mentioning it briefly, they play the full flashback twice, and it's a big part in his early quarrels with his fate as a Rider. It's resolved quickly but that doesn't change the impact it has on the character.
