Comic relief without being too annoying.ĭetective Shibazaki has been brought back on the front lines after having been apparently demoted for some time, which is just as well because Sphinx are already planning their next attack. …I do like his character design though, creepy little git he may be.Įpisode 3 I kinda like the guy who works with Shibazaki. I’m also kind of well and truly over the ‘childish sociopath’ character trope so I also hope there’s a lot more to these two than what’s initially apparent. But at this point I’m a lot more interested in Shibazaki and Lisa than Toji and Arata. The show is certainly intriguing so for better or worse I would like to know where it’s all going. I’m gonna say right now that if it gets even close to that level of aggravating pretentiousness I’m dropping the show like a hot brick, but I’m going to remain hopeful that Watanabe has something more interesting up his sleeve. My other main concern is the fact that with some ‘mystery’ kids conducting dramatic crimes, a police force trying to uncover their identity and a seasoned detective at the lead…I couldn’t help but feel now and again that this is an awful lot like a more mature Death Note. All the same, I can’t help but be interested in the story between them and hope that it’s something fleshed out more. Her mother seems to have been driven somewhat mad by her husband leaving her and she fears Lisa may do the same – and Lisa certainly seems on the brink of doing so. Her bullying is – again – difficult to watch – and the scenes of her and her mother honestly gave me chills. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, it’s just rather hard to swallow at times: the theme of terrorism is one thing (although we still don’t know Toji and Arata’s motives, and they don’t seem to want to harm anyone – yet) but honestly the most confronting parts of the episode are still the ones about Lisa. For one…well, this show is rather uncomfortable. I know it’s premature to worry about that at the moment, but there were moments that really made me wonder. Mostly it’s because I honestly have no idea what kind of story Watanabe is going for with this. I know I was generally pretty pleased with the first episode, but to be honest this second one did give me some concerns. We don’t, however, get much more in the way of info on Toji or Harata. Some more of Lisa’s mother is shown – and we can now see that she’s very frantic, possessive and possibly even deranged. Some of my questions from the first episode were answered – the ‘facility’ was a nuclear fuel reprocessing facility, and what Toji and Arata did there was steal plutonium, and the event took place six months beforehand. I know what’s going to be difficult to write episode summaries for (hint=this.) There was so much information in this episode that I was having to take notes while I watched it in order to remember everything. Shibazaki definitely has the potential to be a great character. Sometimes Arata looks like he escaped a shojo manga. However, Toji is very upfront in letting her know that even if he did call her an ‘accomplice’, she is no companion of theirs and is not welcome. Meanwhile, Lisa continues to deal with her overbearing mother, and finds herself drawn to Arata and Toji. On the trail of the terrorists is detective Shibazaki, who is able to analyze the video message and pick up on the clues. Arata disguises himself as a ramen delivery-man and plants the bomb in the Roppongi Police Station. Calling themselves ‘Sphinx’, the two present a riddle with the answer being the location of the next bomb, giving the police the chance of finding it before it explodes. But hey, it makes a pretty amusing mood whiplash alongside Free! and Love Stage!!, so.Īlthough the explosion at the tower didn’t cause any fatalities, the police force are quite worried – and moreso when the two culprits upload a strange video to youtube acting as the calling card for their next act.

Yep, this will be the other series I’m picking up, although I can’t guarantee being able to hold onto it.
