Yoshida was pretty damn lame in this episode with all that chit-chat about time and love. It’s weird that Pheles even bothered to play along. I mean, what did she gain from walking around with them all day? Was her speech at the end of the episode just an attempt to put everyone’s guard down?

The art quality dropped quite a bit in this episode but I’m going to let it slide given what happened last episode and what’s going to happen in the coming episodes. They’ll probably fix up most of the crap for the DVD releases anyway, so I’m not all that concerned at the end of the day.

Episode 15 should be one awesome ride since there’s probably going to be a fair bit of fighting and plot advancement. It really should be all uphill from here. And when you consider that they only have ten more episodes left starting with the next, they really don’t have any time to screw around with things that don’t actually advance the plot.
