I find it funny at how they compare the D-Agency and the Wind Agency.
Hmm, I think this week's episode was alright. First half bored me a little but I like the mind games coming from Yuki with his intimidating words. To me, Yuki is like the chessmaster, the type of guy that stays ahead of the game. It's hard to take eyes off of him literally. Spoiler:

That was a bit...underwhelming. I would've liked to see both agencies go head to head and actually successfully foil each other and force the other to adapt so they both keep up with each other ala Death Note (Light vs L), but that would probably warrant more episodes for what I'm asking for.

I mainly meant that I thought Yuuki's diss at the end was particularly scathing.
If I were going to nitpick, the episode suffers from the same flaw the entire series does, and that would be its struggles with the concept of "show, don't tell". I do wish that Wind Agency was a more competent force to be reckoned with, but I don't know how they were treated in the novel compared to their depiction here (that and I understand you can only do but so much with a small episode limit).

As much as I enjoyed watching Yuuki and co BTFO the Wind Agency what I was really hoping for was longer, more intense struggle with the hype they were getting. It would definitely require more episodes like magnumcyclonex noted or the Wind Agency to have appear with a stronger earlier presence then they did. That's because the Wind Agency had lost before they even played the game. |

There is still something I'm a little confused on though. Wasn't that agent from last episode who drove the passed out Jitsu in this episode implied to be a double agent working for the D-Agency against the Wind Agency? I was really surprised when Jitsu attacked him for real.

If you look at the guy who appears after Tazaki at 0:55, he looks like Gamou, and he also appears at 1:09 with the other ten members we were introduced to in the first episode (he's the rightmost character). I guess the characters who get a close-up in the OP are just those with an episode focused on them, and only the original eight + Yuuki are real members of D Agency. |
