watched ep3, still maintains the good quality of the first two episodes, however this one holds some interesting twists and surprises.
Spoiler:
the scene where the pale Raiko under the plum blossom is really beautiful, I'm really awed by that art direction.
So the bad guys are not really the bad guys, and the gem is not really "stolen" from the Capital... also seems the gem arc has concluded...
But the action sequences are... umm... I thought Production I.G. could do better than some stills, despite how artistic those stills may look
EDIT: hmm... I said that the gem arc has concluded, but after visiting the official website, it seems more like just the unicorn gem arc has concluded, and the dragon gem arc is about to start...
