Totsuka's killer makes a great villain. Why? Because he pisses me off so much.
The connections to German history are very interesting, I'm glad that they kept the German language at a minimum though. It sounded... very weird.
And finally, things are going to heat up next time. It feels like the plot is slowly coming together... good stuff. Also I'm warming up to the ED, kinda late, but I needed some time to get used to it and now it's quite a treat. Not Neko, I mean the music.
