man i thought 19 was good. different from most episodes, lots less action and that one dialogue scene was really long... but wow did you see alot of emotion out of Revy! That whole scene in the park, the Annie Oakley thing. I lol'd when she threatened Rock right at the end. you really get the feeling that those two are coming together as a nice couple, but somehow that it'll end in tragedy...

this might go down as the "that's what Japanese speaking English sounds like!?!" episode of 2006. I chuckled at a couple of the lines, especially Revy's constant cursing and getting editted out. It got pretty hard to understand her when she spoke fast.

Haha yeah I was thinking that. That one part where she was talking to the kids was just a jumble of syllables to me. Like you said, there wasn't as much action in this episode, but I didn't mind. I'll take some character progression over gunfights anyday(Just barely though because fight scenes are always pretty awesome in BL).

I also thought it was kinda cute how Benny had pictures of that girl from the last arc.

Looking forward to the next Eps.

I agree. This was certainly one of the most complex episodes so far, because of the lesser amount of action and more dialogue and character development, as wells as some emphasis in picturesque aspects. It was easy to get the feeling Revy didn't really belong there, and Rock was already having hard time deciding whether he belong there anymore, either. It's certainly a turning point for him. Interestingly enough it's also a bit hard to figure out what Revy thinks Rock should do. While it's evident she, on the surface, is pushing Rock back to his old life, thus kind of saving him, it could also be only because she's afraid of what having Rock around means to her.

All in all, this was a very important episode for Rock and Revy. I hope it will turn out fine, and neither gets too afraid and make any stupid mistakes they would later regret, no matter how vehemently they might try to justify them.

Goddamn. As usual just place Kracos thoughts into my post along with my comments.

Man, I think the english really could have used some subs there. I had a hell of a time trying to figure out what was being said.

Anyone know exactly WHY it was edited out whenever she swore in english?

[iLoveHotCoCo]

haha your guess is as good as mine to why they edited out Revy cursing in english.. I was actually wondering that too, since the editing actually made it kinda hard for me to understand her when she spoke. They probably just did it to make her seem more American, since they edit out all the cussin in the states when a show isn't on cable. Besides any other explanation, other than they just felt like it, wouldn't make much sense since they curse in the opening anyways..
Anyways I also liked this episode. Like everyone said, character development is always good. And seeing a softer side of Revy is always a plus in my book =)

Engrish is always fun to listen to.

Do I sense a hint of jealously from Revy concerning Rock and that other girl? The samurai man looks badass. He kind of reminds me of Toguro from Yu Yu.
