    A change in tone

    For our forth story arc the tone changes dramatically. We see a mission being performed by our protagonist through the eyes of a private detective and his side kick and it works very well. Its light hearted and has a small amount of fan service in it and I must admit works very well. This is a very entertaining and enjoyable episode.
