Mouryou no Hako 8
We're finally starting to open up clear lines of suspicion. There's still a lot to the mystery that remains mysterious, but there are some patterns emerging.
I'm not sure what to say here. After getting accustomed to the show's relaxed pacing in the last set of episodes, we've really dived back into the action. I hadn't thought about it much before, but there are three clear lines of narration in the show: Sekiguchi, Kiba, and Yoriko. They're starting to intersect.
I love how this transition played with my assumptions, and how it ultimately wound up providing a surprising payoff later. It drew attention to itself in a good way.
I'm kind of surprised at how Sekiguchi's creeping up on me as an interesting character. Perhaps it's a consequence of being stuck in a room with him for a long time, but he's got a lot going on under the surface, and it seems like how those issues emerge will be key to the show's resolution. Kiba, on the other hand, hasn't really gone anywhere.
Is it just me or does this cat have kinda weird eyes?
I'm always surprised when every episode ends. I'm looking forward to more.
