[Switchblade]

Okay, first of all, Shout needs to get a better handle on the live stream. A couple weeks ago the show started late, this week it was already halfway over when it was supposed to just be starting.

So I guess we're just going to skip over the part where Minami asks Baku what the hell is going on, why is calling himself Agent 7 and appearing in the old guy's dreams, and why Bijogi is willing to let them into his office and give the full story of how they've been Weekend at Bernies-ing Nem. Cool. Like, I understand this show has a limited run time, but this feels like a conversation that really, really should have happened either before or after the Nem's accident exposition.

"We didn't want to tell the world that Nem was in a car accident because it would destroy everyone's hopes and dreams" is some deeply insane parasocial logic. I get that idol culture is really, really intense in Japan but this is profoundly fucked up.

Bijogi staring at a sleeping teen Nem is not less creepy than him staring at an awake child Nem. Please do not return her to this man; he may not be keeping her locked up in a CGI room, but I promise you it is not going to be a better life for her.

I do not care for the little half cape on the new form.
