Ep 8
Well that wasn't the best episode. I felt the fight was way too long and they didn't even finish it. The constant change of the texture got a little annoying . Even though it ended in a cliffhanger, we all know he is not dead. Also it seems like the judge guy got shot after the ending song.

Kind of a classic case of a show failing to understand its strengths. Tip: drawn-out, repetitive battles aren't one of them.

Whoa....that was intense. o_o
I don't have a lot to say except....Seigi reminded me of the Chesire Cat this time.
Yes, the fight went on a bit too long. Also, lol animu colors. It never sank in for me that Iwai's hair is supposed to be black.
BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO GREEN.
I think that is a tasteful choice of the animators though. Black hair is normally colored purplish or blueish. The green is more unique AND GREEN IS UNDERRATED.

Episode 8
Yeah the fight did go on quite long, but I found it good for showing the book guy, even if it makes a pretty poor fight.
Am I the only one that found the demon horns on Iwai to be really hot? That is probably my own fetish though.... don't judge me! Again fetish amount was small, but I will place it as that thing where a group of people watch someone die.
By the end it looks like book guy was shot by blonde girl, probably using her killing goods.

Am I the only one who was dying for Kiri to cut that wild hair hanging down the judge's face? It was so annoying, it seemed like it was being flagged as the key to his defeat, like Samson or something.
Haven't wanted to take scissors to a lonely strand of hair that bad since Dr. Tenma.

so much for it not being a trap. Iwai's costume got me thinking. For a show with a large focus on hair, it's extremely unfortunate that Iwai lacks hair accessories

Just thinking, but maybe all hair accessories slide off of her hair at pretty high rates.

As soon as I saw Seigi I knew that he would attack Kiri. If I was Kiri I would have immediately sliced the dude's wrist before he could open his book, thereby causing him to bleed out in two agonising (for him) minutes. The fight would have been over before it had begun, and there would be one less scumbag in the world. Unfortunately, Kiri is lacking in the brains department and his killer instinct is that of a dodo.
I was wondering what the heck the sisters were going to do. I know they aren't exactly Kiri's allies, but I thought it strange that they were just going to stand there and watch him die.

That episode blew. It had very little humour and not only did the fight go on too long, it was a dull fight to boot. I lost count of how many boring reaction shots were stuffed in there to desperately stretch this into a full-length episode. Boo. Hopefully a return to form next time.

I thought he moved the scissors towards the rope, but I don't recall him trying to cut it. I enjoyed the neck snapping sound and him dangling...several times. How many times can a person be killed but not really?

They are so cute, "I'll be waiting for the kiss on my lips, so at least don't die before then!"
