Wow, not only did this episode give us an almost complete background story for Kurogane, but it also hinted at a connection to a major player in the Tsubasa world and with some of the best animation yet for this series! The animation was stunning throughout but some scenes just
really effected me. Kurogane's facial shift into madness being one such example of creative and emotional storytelling.
This episode could have easily stood on it's own, but the last two minutes drop a twist on the viewer that not only enforces the emotional impact of Kurogane's story, but also gives another character a chance to express himself in a way we havn't seen before and even makes the viewer rethink what he had just seen.
Very original and completely effective on every level.
5 stars all the way!
p.s. The episode guides are coming! Promise!
