With this, I really have no clue: what will the second season be about anyway, and how on earth will it be able to top this? All information that was given was that some new organization would rise up and challenge Kaitou. For a while I really thought that they would just take over Rook’s place and continue with the story, but this episode played out like the finale was about to begin. What the hell?
And this episode yet again was really good here. It build up Gammon even more as a villain, but as the kind of villain who still is under the main one: Rook. It also started pulling the impending world destruction, which usually isn’t really something you pull right in the middle of a series.
In any case though, the portrayal of the characters was once again just wonderful. I especially liked how Gammon pushed away even his potential love interest, but also the atmosphere during Kaitou’s flash forwards was very well done, especially considering they were about the cliche of destroying the planet. Thankfully what the creators meant to portray was that the power that everyone is trying to attain is far too big to be healthy, rather than “oh snap! we need to increase the steaks!”
Rating: ** (Excellent)
Oh damn, I think your selection of screencaps just convinced me to pick this up again.
Heh.. I almost never comment about trivial misspellings (since I make them all the time), but I absolutely love “we need to increase the steaks”.. thanks for that 🙂
Save the cows!
That made my day as well :p
Why does Gammon have a spontaneous uncontrollable urge to kill Kaito?
