I was watching episode3 , not very impressed for awhile. I was thinking 'there was alot more cooler things in the first two'.
And then there was the note and the locker... And then after the battle...
damn there seems to be so many layers to the plot... Usually I can grasp some idea of where a show is headed, what characters are good and bad, what's real and what's a farce, but I'd be grasping at straws with theories as to what is really happening in this show...
And it still appears quite simple on the surface... but...
I love how water reoccurs again and again in this show and how it's Kyo's favorite place to be. The 'what is real?' theme is done quite well, sometimes seemingly blunt, sometimes very subtle.
Oh and the action was pretty good too. The videogame was pretty crappy looking, but the actual battle was cool. It was good to see them struggle a bit.
More on the estranged friend and his two buddies... They've got to be there for a reason... same with the film girl (another interesting symbol). I find all the 'real world' character to be excellently balanced between being unique and still coming off like normal people you'd know from your school.
Goddamn what is up with that locker?!
I anticipate new episodes of this more than any of the new series. But why, oh why for the love of all that's holy is Megami the only fansub group doing it? I feel like tearing my hair out! I need to know what the lyrics in the OP and ED mean damnit!
