I have to admit that I am a little disappointed that Shiki didn't kill Fujino. She certainly deserved it, and there's only room for one supernatural killer who likes Kokutou. Well...two if you count both Shiki's.

The animation on Fujino's ability is certainly the coolest one yet. It looked more like a gravity well than bending for the most part, but I guess she's just grabbing a volume of space and twising the hell out of it and everything within it. They haven't been giving us a good view of Shiki's death lines recently though.

I really loved the music in this eps/movie, particularlly in the fights between Fujino and Shiki.

I'm really starting to like the narrative direction of the series, the time jumps. They so frequently jump back and forth, giving us tidbits of information that we should know all about. Like the Fujino reference early back in the first one. Only now do we see how Shiki lost her arm, why she hates Fujino and other people like her so much, and a host of other info. But each time they tell us something, there's tons of new questions.

In this one, we get to see Azaka. We didn't even know Kokutou had a sister. Now we see that not only does he have one, he's got one who completely loathes Shiki. Now I really want to know why.


But the thing I liked most about this episode, was the look on Touko's face when Kokutou came back early...
