[Switchblade]

Really liked the second episode. Definitely a lot of "here are all the characters and their one defining trait," but still good. I like that there are other characters who know Kengo is Trigger, you don't see that a lot in these shows.

The part that impressed me most was the cinematography, though. There were some amazing shots in both of the big fight scenes. I especially liked the scene of the jet going in against that first monster and all of that great framing in the fight scene with Darrgon and Power Type (city version; the underwater part was way less dynamic). I thought I knew all of Sakamoto's tricks, but he still brought some really cool new ones to this episode.

The only thing I'm not fully enjoying about the show (besides my returning complaint from last week that Kengo's plant looks fake as hell) is the Nursedessei, which just looks so awful to me. Obviously it transforms into something, given how many joints are clearly visible, but the base form looks dumb and it really shouldn't be able to fly, given that shape.

Oh good, that's not just me, then.
