Quite. He's just a sadist!
Star Driver 4 : This is the first episode I didn't like. Sure, some people disliked the opening but it's been scientifically proven that they're bad people.
This one however, just felt a bit flat. BONES have done better 'alternate world' stories in
RahXephon. And 'two characters trapped in space X' is a classic
Gundam device.
Plus I didn't feel that they really got that much closer. This kind of defeats the point of the whole encounter.
I feel a problem with the show may lie in it's concern with trying to develop two characters an episode : usually the duellist and their master. This hasn't worked out terribly well so far.
Also, their back-stories need to be far more over-the-top and melodramatic. Not "I can't go and sing!" but something with a bit more crazy in it. This show is silly and OTT and the characters should reflect that, in an
Utenaesque way. BONES has done rather more adult and developed characters in
X'amd but I assumed this cast would be a bit more energetic in their eccentricities.
Also YOU'RE A LIAR :
Panty and Stocking 7 : Great episode.
Panty and Stocking 8 : Bad episode.
I guess there can only be one.
