Aaaand I got swept along and before I knew it I was caught up on the whole series. Yeah, this is good stuff! A bit unpolished, sure, but the story and action are both solid and you can really tell it's a labor of love

For sure! It's been a nice ride so far. And I must admit, that plot twist at the end of the latest episode has me intrigued.

Yeah, I was starting to suspect it in episode 5 but having it confirmed still feels like a shock. It also makes me wonder what, exactly, his armor is...

And if you don't know what Avalon is, it's an indie toku that airs on YouTube. And by indie I mean like, "dude and his friends got together to film a toku" levels of indie. And if you're open to watching that sort of thing, I definitely recommend checking the show out.

Nice, and kudos to the non-Japanese cast members especially. Speaking a foreign language is one thing, acting with it is another.
