Ha ha, thanks! This was an episode where I thought I wanted to talk about the visuals (I think the Grand Maison was also the set for the climax of the Blade movie?), but then I decided to start with that Wataru bath scene, and then it was pretty much all I wanted to talk about from that episode. I didn't even get to talk about how extra-theatrical (and extra-pushy!) Otoya was to make up for how human and considerate he was last time!

Can I mention how much I adore the cutaway of a falling house of cards to run not just in an episode about Wataru's pseudo-family disintegrating, but also directly before Kiva needs to escape from Nago? Such a brilliant image to use!
