I just really like
how this series is going. I like how everything is being shown and done
carefully. The structure of the first three episodes was given in a way that
the events that happened to Himiko in ep2 was simultaneously going on with
Sakamoto's experiences in ep1 and ep3.
The introduction of
this episode was pretty interesting - a look back on what had happened so far.
It feels like this is where the real story begins.
There're mainly two
things that got stuck to me in this episode. First is the meeting of Himiko and
Sakamoto and second, the idea of the players' selection in the game. Now let me
get to the first thing, Himiko and Sakamoto's 2nd meeting turned out as I expected.
Himiko's anger at men is clearly shown. She wouldn't even join Sakamoto is she
wasn't able to stun herself accidentally.
The quick battle was
pretty interesting to watch. How Himiko actually lured Sakamoto out was pretty
surprising. I didn't expect her to think of something like that and move
quickly to where Sakamoto went to. Hmmm… Their quick learning of things is kind
of surprising but Himiko's case is probably due to her experiences. I'm not
talking about her speed and adaptation to the environment but to her use of
BIMs. As for Sakamoto, he's probably relying on his game strategies. NEETs.
HAHA.
Now for the second
thing that caught my attention, I think that I have mentioned in a previous
post that I've been wondering how they were chosen. This episode just cleared
everything out. So being a BTOOOM!
player is just a mere coincidence. It completely answers the question why
Kousuke's father and lawyer got involved in this mess. Given this way of
choosing the players of this survival game, I'm raising another question: how
did those people (the people who sent them there) knew about it? - the survival
game for people to disappear. Hmmm… That
sure is suspicious.
BUT still the number
one mystery in here is why is this happening? I still can't see any reason why
and I'm pretty sure that they'll reveal it an episode of two before the series
ends. If they do so, they better do a second season or else I'll end up being
seriously disappointed of this series.
As of this episode,
I'm still enjoying the story, the presentation of the episode and the battle
scenes. This episode's cliffhanger is pretty interesting. So they don't only
have to run away form people, huh? On a side note, I'm really looking at
Taira-san as someone who's merely using Sakamoto. x_x damn that fat old man.
