MF Ghost Season 2 - Episode 15 Review

-

The latest episode of MF Ghost Season 2 brought the excitement back to full throttle, making up for last week's slower pace. Episode 15, titled "The Relay Straight of Yin and Yang," delivered intense racing action and character development that fans of the series have come to love.

Racing Action

This episode featured not one, but three thrilling overtakes:

  1. Kanata's daring move from the outside in torrential rain, reminiscent of Ayrton Senna's legendary 1993 European Grand Prix performance.
  2. Shun Aiba's impressive maneuver, showcasing his growth as a driver.
  3. A clean overtake by the Lamborghini, adding to the race's intensity.

The wet conditions added an extra layer of excitement and danger to the already high-stakes race. It was particularly interesting to see how drivers like Kanata, who doesn't use driving aids, adapted to the challenging weather.

Character Insights

The episode provided some fascinating glimpses into the characters' personalities:

  • Sawatari's transformation behind the wheel, from his usual frivolous demeanor to a focused predator.
  • Shun Aiba's evolving driving style, contrasting with his mentor Ikeda's teachings.
  • The struggle of the "Angels" team to maintain their teamwork-based strategy.

Eurobeat Soundtrack

True to its Initial D roots, MF Ghost continues to feature a pumping Eurobeat soundtrack. This episode included:

  • The conclusion of "Rock Beatin' Wild" from the previous episode.
  • "Power Two" by Hotblade, featured in Initial D Arcade Stage 7 AAX.
  • The lesser-known "Run" by Fastway, adding a touch of musical diversity.

Final Thoughts

Episode 15 of MF Ghost Season 2 successfully balanced intense racing action with character development. The wet conditions added a new dimension to the race, allowing for some unexpected moves and strategies. As the competition heats up, it's clear that the series is building towards an exciting climax.

Fans of Initial D will appreciate the familiar elements, from the Eurobeat soundtrack to the technical racing terminology. However, MF Ghost continues to carve out its own identity with its unique characters and modern setting.

With the promise of more action to come, viewers will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting the next episode. MF Ghost Season 2 is proving to be a worthy successor to its legendary predecessor, delivering the perfect blend of high-octane racing and compelling drama.

Ao no Hako - Blue Box Episode 2 Review

-
It feels like déjà vu, but not in a good way. Blue Box, or Ao no Hako , has stumbled into distribution hell, much like Shikanoko Nokotan . Episode 2 has been released in Japan with multilingual subs, yet the rest of the world only has Episode 1 on Netflix. This Netflix JP early release is causing chaos for international fans, and to top it off, some groups have already posted torrents with subs. The frustration is palpable. Episode 1 created solid momentum for the series, but now that energy is at risk of being snuffed out due to this staggered release schedule. We’ve seen it before — when Netflix rolls out episodes inconsistently, international fans often turn to piracy or find themselves out of sync with the discussion. The mods need to step in before things spiral out of control, but so far, the subreddit has remained stuck to its “subs are up, post the thread” policy, which doesn’t help when most of the world’s asleep or can’t access the episode legally. Production Quality Still Ho...

The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest – Episode 1 Review

-
The premiere episode of The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest leans heavily into the familiar tropes of fantasy anime, without adding much flair or excitement. The plot starts with the expected premise: a healer, exiled from his party, harbors secret strength beyond what anyone could imagine. The generic setup is effortlessly predictable, leaving viewers wondering if this show will rise above its bland beginnings. The Plot: Predictably Generic The episode introduces us to Laust, a healer who finds himself unceremoniously ousted from his party. The narrative is immediately bogged down by lackluster storytelling, offering only a superficial explanation for his dismissal. Viewers are left scratching their heads as the reasons for his exile remain frustratingly vague, almost as if the show is intentionally hiding crucial information to set up a reveal in future episodes. Yet, the buildup is executed in such a dull manner that any intrigue is lost amidst th...
