“Suddenly is not cool at all… Yeah, I’m waiting!!” Something like that.
“We’re in disguise! Please avert your eyes!”
A duel with Alien Flamenco. A talk with the Will of the Universe. It’s an experience that goes a little beyond the normal human mind. The Earth waits for Masayoshi to return home. Evil has been completely eradicated from this world, and peaceful, quiet days are here. But with evil gone, what is there for a Champion of Justice to do? As he contemplates this, Goto gets a text message saying it’s time for a date. Masayoshi and Mari get together, and it’s time to tail him.
Well, it’s time to start winding down I believe. The show’s supposed to be somewhere in the area of 22 episodes, so either finding out who Goto’s girlfriend is will take 4 episodes, or she’ll be the next big reveal of what Hazama has to punch leading to the ultimate conflict between best friends. At least the apparently for some reason highly anticipated reveal of her identity is finally coming around.
How many ADs do you think we have this time? The answer will be of no surprise at all. Having 5 ADs is one of the more predictable things about the show. 4 returners and 1 new guy. The returners are Katsuhiro Kumagai, Hitomi Hasegawa, Masaiku Tayori and Kazuyuki Igai. The new kid is Tomokazu Shimabukuro who has only one AD credit, Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere, but tons of key to back him up. And crazy AD amount is starting to leak because we also have two directors this time. Yosuke Kuroda is returning alongside yet another instance of someone who could be one of two people. He’s either Tagatsugu Kobayashi, young pup with only an assistant director on Kino’s Journey to his name, or Kouji Kobayashi who has a little bit more including being a director on Kino’s Journey. And of course Katsumi Terahigashi is storyboarding, and Takahiro is screenwriting.
