Otakuism

Kirhara looks hot in that quipao dress. Seriously, the slit is never high enough.

Contractor Kick!!

Oh right, serious plot here. I quite liked this Kirihara arc, mainly for focusing on her more feminine aspects. Really fleshed her out beyond cold police chick. Now the fact that the best friend was evil was pretty obvious from the beginning, so she wasn’t very interesting. But the whole stabbing yourself with bees thing was awesome just for the insanity of it. Really wished they would of played with that idea more, like having the bees as a new kind of drug the mafia was selling or something like that. Zhi’s ability was interesting I think, no more weird than the traveling through walls guy. The fight between him and Hei was the best yet in the series, especially when Hei missed slashing him by an inch and everything slowed down. Real cinematics there. And the whole interplay between them on who’s was faster was cool. Next week we actually learn some more about Hell’s Gate. I’m really curious about this, as some of the wilder aspects of the series - no stars, contractors - have gone unexplained long enough. Now I wonder if those stone flowers will ever be mentioned again at all?
