I almost forgot I watched this show… The subs of the back logged episodes came out in bulk quite recently, so I sat down to watch it all and it was good but pretty confusing at times. I can forgive it for that, with the intriguing action and the absolutely wonderful soundtrack.
The latest episode (well subbed) itself was pretty mind tripping, with what Shin was going through being so hard to follow at times, and creepily eerie at others which was awesome. Jun has been taken by the girl in red through a kiss, leaving behind Yuki. I can’t wait to see how this is going to be handled. Also, I have been noticing that the animation has been looking patchy in places when it was so good when it started.
What I did notice from watching many together was that it was common practice to get a very climatic or dramatic end to the episode, but the follow up at the beginning of the next is pretty minor or very vague. Code Geass suffers somewhat the same but with quickly resolved follow ups. Anyways, I am still thoroughly enjoying this show and hope to now keep up regularly again…
Every week, I sit down to watch this and it keeps on delivering me cool and slick action. I love it. I have been taking a large detour away from my shounen start into the anime scene but this is a great series to get back into the genre.
This soul resonance this is pretty cool actually. It was expected in a shounen action to get some form of power up, but I love this for its style. Death the Kidd’s one is one I look forward to seeing, coming from manga knowledge.
Black Star is an idiot, most of the time. If he could be more serious like he is at rare points, he would be pretty cool. Black Star is pretty cool, being one of the only ones so far to be able to attack with a lot of force without his weapon, but it just wasn’t enough this time.
Introduced was one of my favourite characters in the bits of the manga I have already read - Dr. Franken Stein. He has that whole cool ‘I can beat you with minimal effort’ feel when he goes on to give the team a thorough beating. The way he took out Black Star was amazing.
What I had in the manga, and also here was the feeling that this whole Soul Wavelength concept came out of nowhere. When it got layed on us, it was pretty thick and heavy. I loved the analogy to the Guitar and the Amp. Death the Kidd comes to school next episode, it should be awesome.
