First day of a storewide sale at work (so much packing and shipping and ringing people up!), so I've not only been out of pocket, but I'm burnt to a crisp. Let's see what we've got!

Ha ha, yeah. It's funny to me now, after watching a couple dozen series, that I barely clock the toyetic nature of this stuff. Like, there's a goofiness to the plastic toy book that Touma's interacting with, that's working him like a puppet, and I sort of don't think it distracts or detracts? It's just... I don't know, they live in a world of magic toys! I can't get too grumpy about it.

It's a great track! Agreed!

People totally shouldn't underestimate the kind of bond these two have to make that work the way they do.
It's nice that, in the absence of Kento and Rintaro, the show has really re-emphasized the natural teamwork of Mei and Touma. They genuinely complement each other well, and Mei's capabilities give Touma such an underappreciated series of advantages. Hell, this whole break-in scheme was her idea! Which, y'know,
didn't work out great for Touma
, but still!

Thanks! I don't know how long it's going to be before Touma can have a friendly moment with Daishinji again, so I thought I'd pop that in there while I had a chance.
As for Daishinji's data-heavy and dryly-analytical report, "Brilliant Sound: A Tale of Swords and Swordsmen"... man, this is a family website! I can't post that!

My go-to is an probably always will be Build Hazard. I love how dire the plot gets because of that suit's introduction, and how easily a Berserk Form story escalates a series about technology and war. Also, this scene's from that story, and it's
unbeatable

The suit itself also might be my favourite of Touma's? Icy Blue, obviously angry, very PuToTyra as has already been said, I'm not 100% on what would beat it.
I really like Dragonic Knight, but I think Primitive Dragon keeps so much of the show's aesthetic while subverting it, that I gotta say Primitive Dragon is the best so far for that guy.

Daishinji's almost always going to be the voice of reason in any group, but even he can see that this team's going to need a bold swing or two if they're going to convince Rintaro, Ogami and Ren to join them.

Any sort of heist-y story usually has me paying attention, since it means (hopefully!) a more complex plot that provides a million pitfalls for our heroes. And this one doesn't disappoint in that regard, since Storious
also
decides to pull a B+E (book and entering) on the SoL. Just a super fun, clever plot that inevitably becomes a chaotic nightmare. Very happy with the choice and the result!
