I'm still diligently working my way through Fourze again, and while I've been keeping to myself about it like I said I would – yes, keeping to myself about how every arc in this show's first quarter has been absolute solid gold on every front, be it action, comedy, drama, or the raw emotion present throughout – I
do
feel there was a moment so cool in episode 14 that I really can't help but share it here. It's from the back half of the two-parter about the person who was the first monster of the week coming back. It's directed by Hidenori Ishida, who I immediately thought was a great choice, because his focus on atmosphere meshes well with the plot needing to convey the complex feelings of someone lusting after something they know is bad for them. But then it got even better, because this scene came along:
Gentarou is made more vulnerable than ever at the worst possible time. He's completely at the mercy of the Scorpion Zodiarts, the toughest foe he's faced in the series so far, who steps uncomfortably close just to really rub it in...
The cramped room the scene takes place in has been darkly lit this entire time, because that makes the scene that much spookier.
Then the next shot comes along.
Man that's some hardcore s***.
The abrupt shift in lighting here is exactly the sort of thing that makes me love Ishida so much. It doesn't make sense if you consider it from a super literal in-universe perspective, but the way it enhances the feeling of the scene for the viewer draws you into the world in a way simple logic never could.
(Also, Aesir's subs for this show aren't half bad, either!)
