Great episode today!
. Maybe I've gotten too used to Fourze, but the whole cafe-setting seems really odd to me, especially if it's as subdued as the one in Wizard. The Rabbit Hutch was great and the Cous Coussier was so lively with Chiyoko. I've gotten so acclimated to Post W-stuff that some of the older things are just sort of "Wow, we're bringing this back? Interesting"
. Glad they show when Haruto and Koyomi arrive to their current home, and I especially like how they filmed it. Like, the whole transitioning to rain.
. Is Rinko just going to be this cheery character now? I like Rinko, but of all people the police woman to be cheery? Then again, she has basically been relieved of all possibility of becoming a Phantom, so there is reason to be happy.
. Haruto hasn't really come and grabbed me as a main character yet. On paper, he's great, but I don't know, I oddly gravitated towards Gentaro's inherent wisdom or Eiji's selflessness in Fourze, but Haruto (Whom I like so far) seems..middle of the road. He's kind, but not bombastic like Gen. I must have liked Gen a lot.
. Hellhound had a great design. Nice power, and his plot to destroy Shunpei's hope was pretty sadistic. Props for that.
. Water form was nice, and I loved the fight scenes, remind me of Cyclone Joker's kicks. Hope they continue it for awhile.
. The Makamou in Hibiki were scarier than people's underworld beasts.
