You know, for how much our takes on the B movie looking monsters differ, I'm often finding it hard to really say much about episodes of Hibiki specifically because I agree with you too much. I figured straight up rewatching the series would give me more to contribute than usual, but, at least at the moment, it's hard to do much beyond pointing at your posts and going "that!"

The Asumu plotline in this one, it just refuses to go anywhere very meaningful, and that's more than a bit of a bummer despite still being quite an enjoyable episode overall. The scene that closes out the episode of him in bed looking at his school uniform, it felt like something that was supposed to be more poignant than it ended up being.

Admittedly, though, I can't truly say I'm opposed to the focus on winged cannibal Douji. That guy was awesome! Had a real Grongi flavor to him, right down to picking fights with his own kind as much as the heroes.
