It's always worth pointing out good work, though!

Yeah, I mean, that's pretty much all I got out of the scene, that the cops were starting to look into the Orphnoch murders. And that specific mistranslation is great because the next episode (that I'm about 40% done writing up) Sawamura tells Soeno that the only thing wrong with the bodies was that their internal organs were gone! And that's translated correctly!

I'm really liking the cop stuff on this show, incidentally. Soeno's got a great I Guess I'm Trying To Solve Monster Crimes Now demeanor, which is exactly the right attitude for the cop character on Faiz. Not an Oh God How Will We Solve This attitude, or a There's No Such Thing As Monsters, but a perfect combination of unfazed (unFaized?) and resigned. Like, I don't know, I guess there are monsters or whatever, we'll probably find out the truth, ehhhhh. (Also, I love that the higher-ups don't even give a shit about thirteen murdered teenagers?) He's great. Brilliant casting.
