She certainly seems less 'revenge crazed' than Sasuke so far.<BR/><BR/>The animation does do a lot to bring this series up from merely watchable to good, I just hope they can keep it up.Hannershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02789149333914200143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323543890331313328.post-90113686814471627192008-05-10T14:36:00.000+01:002008-05-10T14:36:00.000+01:00Overall it was a good episode.

The action scenes were getting less and less detailed but still managed to be interesting and cool in my opinion.<BR/><BR/><I>Much of the focus this time around was on Raimei, who I have to confess to having a bit of a soft spot for.</I><BR/><BR/>It's rare for me to like a female character in a shounen anime, so i was surprised to find myself warming up to raimei as the series progresses. I'm quite fond of her character design and her seiyuu is doing a good job in portraying her character. Doesn't Raimei's bakcground remind you of Sasuke of Naruto? I hate to compare Nabari with Naruto, but that was my initial impression when i saw this episode. Raikou seems crazier than Itachi though ^^<BR/><BR/>Raikou is another pretty interesting character. I especially loved the crazy, creepy look on his face just before he told raimei he'll be joining kairoushuu. <BR/><BR/>Damn the cliffhanger! They cut it just when yoite finally showed up. I can't wait to see what happens next.<BR/><BR/><I>One of the real plus points of Nabari no Ou is the way that it mixes everyday, modern life with the secret existence of the various ninja villages and clans.</I><BR/><BR/>I totally agree with you. It's one of nabari's charms. The juxtaposition of the real world and the world of nabari makes things more interesting and easy to connect with. And the beautiful animation and well-dressed characters are always a big plus in my book.eipuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332321330391627782noreply@blogger.com
