Well, I’ve moved into episode 30 of Hibiki. And I didn’t like it.


I LOVED IT. After 28 boring episodes with one real standout, this was a real treat. They’ve stopped dicking around and shooting money and actually done something interesting with their premise. We actually get Asumu’s day in the life outside the ONI and TAKESHI, with a guy who basically embodies the idea the “cool newcomer” in a way that stands out. He’s not antagonising the led guy, he just sees him as beneath him.

And the switch to the city for action scenes gives the Makamou some much needed villain cred. Having the new one go around burning people to death really looks as awesome as it sounds. And it’s an actual guy in a suit, rather than some PS2 reject, so there’s that.
