El Cazador de la Bruja – 05

I decided to stop giving these small blurbs of information about each show. I began to notice something, and Cos confirmed this. These things made me really lose sight of what’s important in an anime, and they only made sure that I was way too focused on finding something really unique. The ratings illustrated this. The good points also were pointless (pun not intended, but it does fit well) and I’d usually claim that one part of the episode was good, making it seem that the rest of the episode was just worthless. The short synopsis also can be easily omitted, but the worst parts were the bad points. For each episode, they forced me to look at bad points which usually didn’t matter. Overall, it was a bad idea. Anyway, about the episode, it was another great one, just like all the others from El Cazador. It starts when a van is blocking Nadie’s and Ellis’s way, being stuck in the mud. Nadie tries to help move it, but that doesn’t work. When Ellis pushes it slightly, though, the van moves easily, suggesting that Ellis has more than just powers to heat things up. A bit later, near the house of a girl, the car stops again. This time, due to lack of gas. Nadie finds this strange, as she just refilled the tank. The girl we saw, meanwhile, ran home and put on a dress. It seems that she’s been anticipating travellers. When she put on the dress and waits for the two of them to come as well, she’s surprised to see them being pulled in by the same van from before. Nadie then moves the car to the local mechanic, and there indeed seems to be a leak in the fuel-tank. The driver from the van, meanwhile, appears to sell different kinds of dresses. When Nadie and the mechanic make a small test-drive (?) they see the girl again, but she doesn’t respond. The mechanic notes that Rita (the name of the girl) is rather sick, but it’s nothing to worry about. We then switch to that evening, were the mechanic managed to finish fixing the car. A while later, Rita comes to Nadie and Ellis, asking them to take her along with them. It seems that she’s been living inside the same town for her entire life, and she really wants to go to the city. I think that this is because she’s sick. She probably didn’t have much to live. Nadie, though, declines. That’s only natural, of course, with all these people after them. Rita, however, takes this the wrong way. And after all, you wouldn’t expect people like Nadie and Ellis to be hunted, do you? LA meanwhile, managed to catch up with Nadie and Ellis again. I still don’t know what he was doing near the two others, in the last episode though. We then switch to Rozenberg, where he watches a bit of the footage of last week (the hilarious part where Ellis attempted to help Nadie with a pair of forks XD). I had to laugh when Rozenberg didn’t get any of this. Blue-eyes is with him, for once when she can’t figure out what Nadie’s thinking. That night, Ellis buys a small pouch from the guy in the van (who decided to stay near the place for the night as well), so that she could store the stone in it, in order to prevent mishaps like in the previous episode. But guess what, that night, when everyone’s sleeping, it appears that that guy is one of the hunters, after Ellis. He tries to take her away, with the help of none other than Rita, using Nadie’s car to get away. Whether it is the work of a bad mechanic or LA, we never know. But the fact remains that the fuel-tank stil leaks, dropping fuel all over the road. When Nadie comes after them, and gunfire ensues, this catches a flame, causing the car to drive off a cliff. Ellis surprisingly leaps through the air, and manages to save Rita as well. The van-driver though, is unconscious. What follows is an explanation of why Rita did what she did, and I had a little trouble following it. She wants to go to the city, that’s for sure. Because she’s sick, she probably won’t have many chances to do so in her life. Nadie and Ellis, meanwhile, shamelessly steal the guy’s van. That guy, meanwhile wakes up, with somehow tomato-juice on his head when he sees the bounty-hunter. I chuckled when the guy mistook the tomato-juice for blood. Ellis, meanwhile, changes into a different dress. One thing I’m surprised about is that, unlike Noir, El Cazador gives actual personalities to the hunters, after our main characters. Only few of them are just brainless goons, and they’re not just finished off after one episode. I’m really surprised at the amount of detail put in the storyline as well. I liked how the last scene emphasized on Ellis, changing her clothes. Will Nadie be doing the same at one point? The past cases have been quite unique, and I really like this about El Cazador. Especially the nuns and the dead body were unique.]]>
