Holy cucumbers on a stick! Did this series really just pull what I think it did?
I mean: this show here surpassed itself. yet again here. I thought that after the cast got back from their trip to Europe, there’d be some sort of aftermath or something. Not like, the single most important episode of the series so far. This episode explained a lot of stuff about this series. Also, Daimon Kaitou was another test tube kid who was raised for the sole purpose of solving puzzles. Oh, and he turns out to have been adopted.
These are some amazing twists here, and they again show how similar Kaitou is to Rook here, who also was raised with the same thing in mind. The sole difference was probably that Kaitou’s foster parents did really care about him, while Rook was clearly raised by a bunch of sadists. The character development in this show just keeps getting better here.
Now I do have to wonder though: how will the second season be able to top this? The reason this season rocks is because of how well it delves into the pasts of the main characters. With the way things are going though, that will all be solved at the end of the first season. So what can they offer to expand to this?
Rating: *** (Awesome)
Wow! I never in a million years thought that this show would get to this level!! I was speachless watching the episode. I’m SO glad that I didn’t drop this after the first few episodes. It seems like the next few episodes will go back to the craziness from before, but I don’t really mind.
I feel the same way as what you just said! I’m glad I didn’t drop the show in it’s first weeks (and it came close several times). I like both sides of Phi Brain, the silly and the serious ones.
