I like how Doug isn’t just this brooding, tormented loner - he’s chill, friendly, supportive, and kind of a space-case. Like, sure, he’s undoubtedly got some baggage, but it doesn’t define him in the ways you’d expect. Also interesting that they just casually included a gay couple as minor characters in Episode 2. I’m just way more used to these sorts of shows coyly dancing around the idea that gay people might exist in their setting and might actually get into relationships with each other so they don’t scare off the straights while they pile on the subtext. But no, they just made the comedy arguing couple in a one-off scene two dudes. I mean, T&B had Nathan, but it still feels slightly unusual.

So I’m assuming Doug’s old partner just moved to another department, huh?

Sindai posted:I swear there were a couple of shots early on where Kirill's body was CGI while his head was 2D, I guess because they didn't want to hand-animate that complicated pattern on his coat. I don't think I've seen that technique before. Land of the Lustrous did something similar to that in order to give its characters livelier expressions.

Who voices the narrator, by the way?

So, what do you reckon are the odds that B is packing some Hundred Power? We know it's not a unique ability, and it feels like the sort of twist this team of writers would pull.

I get the impression that Zabel really did gently caress up and really was about to get executed, and for whatever reason, the prison was impenetrable for Bamboo Man (maybe because it was so big, solidly-built, and maze-like that his powers would run out before he got to Death Row?), so B, who was one of Z's hitmen, had Zabel confess to a crime that he, B, had committed on his boss's orders (because Esperanza's lettered officers are ranked in reverse alphabetical order) in order to get him out and render him rescuable.

chumbler posted:Poor Apple, the only one without a partner. It was kind of interesting how it felt like we were coming in at the end of a high school movie with her and the jock as the leads. As for Apple, he's the DJ. He's facilitating dances, not dancing himself.

Waffleman_ posted:Max and Yuri still need to kiss. True, but it was nice of this episode to just casually acknowledge that they're a couple and presumably do a lot of kissing off-screen. One thing that's consistently separated this show from more straightforwardly baity stuff is the constant, background understanding that LGBT folks exist in this setting, and are actually pretty common. Putting more of that on-screen would be neat, but at least they're saying 'yeah, that's an option' rather than hiding in vague subtext and ambiguity.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:i was expecting max's backstory to be something regrettable or pathetic she had risen past since it involved a high school prom. nope! it turns out that max was always cool as hell and it was everyone else who sucked. It was a neat and surprisingly heavy twist, particularly since the story they seemed to be building towards seemed pretty lame.

The one thing that really surprised me is that Kiril is legit good at rocket-skating.

Electric Phantasm posted:I think he was counting on him being a follower, sometimes people with power don't try to aim for the top. Clearly not the case here, but it happens sometimes. That does seem like a generally unwise assumption in a criminal organisation.

Cao Ni Ma posted:I like how they gutted any possibility of Yuri coming back. Damned robotic ethics Not any possibility. They've got a backup body, and mentioned that the odds of her core surviving were one in a million. That probably means she'll be back next episode.

The_White_Crane posted:I am genuinely confused as to what Valery's gender is supposed to be. Cis man who disguised himself as a girl in order to throw any otherworldly pursuers off their tail, before hitting puberty, realising this wouldn't work for much longer, and leaving Kiril for good. Kiril was very young when they left Ankoku, so he only remembers Valery as a girl and is pretty confused by the whole thing.

I do enjoy that the main villain of this show is literally a killer klown from outer space.
