Episode 5: Hell

There are claims that this episode wasn't written by Toshiki Inoue.

And I refuse to believe them, because an episode where Jinno from Kamen Rider W jerks off to manhole covers that a Horror Lady proceeds to use as weapons is the exact sort of thing that he would write.

While that alone would've made this episode incredibly memorable, I also dug the underlying message about how alternative forms of art go underappreciated.

Like, yeah, most people wouldn't see any sort of artistic value in manhole covers, but what's to say they can't be? Doing such intricate designs would take alot of work, not to mention welding expertise. And welding is in itself a recognized art form, so.

But yeah, this was an overall fun one. It's the second episode so far wherein the Horror is the main focus, and for me it mostly worked. My only real issue is the ending, which, I mean, I think I get what it was gunning for, but really the line Zaruba gives about the incident not being tied to a Horror just left me more confused than anything.

But man, first Zi-O, then Changerion, and now this. Manhole Cover gets around.
