You, sir, are awesome. First thing I wondered when this episode started was "WTF why does this look like Casshern?!"
As much as I loved Casshern (and it might actually be in my overall top 10, if I had one), this episode just
didn't fit. At all. Coming from 4 episodes of a calm, easy going pace (I was thinking "mushishi?") we're thrown quite a curve ball, and that's when they decide to top it off by totally breaking the visuals?!
I found it way too off-putting - I spent more time cringing at odd facial expressions, still-frames, poorly depicted bugrats and "hue-shifts" than actually following the story.
I hope this was a one time thing only...
