Looks like Karneval will never fail to look as fancy and
flashy as the first episode.
Similar to how Karneval started, this second episode was able
to successfully follow up its flashy shounen style. The introduction of Yogi (Miyano Mamoru)
finally gave Karneval a lighter feel to
the series after those serious fight scenes.
Yogi introduceshimself as 'Filled with the power of man's
spirit! I'm the Sparkling Prince who makes your heart throb! The Second Ship
Fighter of the National Defense Organization, Circus, Yogi!' I can't
stop myself from laughing there. Mamo-chan's crazy characters are seriously the
best. With all the seriousness going around the series, I'm pretty glad that
Mamo-chan's the one playing the comic relief character here :3 And his
Nyanperona mascot really fits Yogi. HAHAHA.
Anyway, looks like
Circus wasn't called 'Circus' for nothing. They are
doing those acrobats and other flashy things to entertain people. It's more
like a façade of what they're doing. Well not that people don't know what they are doing. It seems to me that the public
actually knows their real business. So what is Circus really after? As what
Hirato had mentioned, Circus's job is to maintain order but they specifically
go after 'special crimes'. Circus is after 'monsters' like Mine (the mosnter from ep1). Specifically
they are after this organization called
Evolution who created these monsters like Mine or Varuga, as they called it.
With all that said,
I'm pretty sure that we're all staring at the captured old CEO last episode and
his second in command, I assume, who is voiced by Suwabe Junichi.
Aside from Hirato, as obvious as it seems, they have also taken an interest on
Nai given how he has taken a hold of Circus's old ID. More importantly, the big
question in here is Karoku's involvement in all of these. Why is he with the
CEO's daughter, Erisyuka (Satou Satomi)? AND
how can Nai hear Karoku? Is it through the bracelet? Well that's most likely
it. But for now, what I'd like to know is Karoku's reason for being with
Erisyuka and how did things ended up like this. I mean what exactly happened to
him back them?
