That sign says “Sweet Home.” I wonder if that’s a reference.
Flamenco Girl has gotten a POWER UP! in the form of her “Flamenco Girls.” Their everyday actions of justice and entertainemtn are going amazingly. On the other hand, Samurai Flamenco can only run aimlessly around town. The very citizens he works to protect turn against him as mobs. Only Goto can come to aid, but those words echoing in his mind only drive Hazama further into a corner. “Samurai Flamenco. …very soon, you’ll be no more.”
Hideyuki Kurata is not part of this episode. Instead, our screenwriter is named simply Takahiro in katakana, who has only ever done screenwriting on They are My Noble Masters. Storyboard is done by Eiji Suganuma, who has done storyboard on a few things that I’d rather not mention, so I’m going to say he did key animation on Doomed Megalopolis, Gunbuster, Diebuster, and Gurren Lagann. Our director is Yusuke Onoda, and episode direction is all he does. He’s got a lot of big shonen credits like Needless and Naruto and Fairy Tail. We’ve got two ADs. Masaki Yamada who was the lead AD for Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 and did a few episodes of Samurai Champloo. Kumiko Takayanagi who was an animator on Metropolis. Now that I like the sound of.
