Blue Crow Waltz

I actually rather enjoyed this episode, the story was a little more easy to digest. However, though a better story to watch, I still am not convinced about this programme, I can not figure it out, comedy? Crime? Sci fi? Thriller? A mixture of all? I am willing to stay with this series, it does keep the viewer keen to see "what happens next".

One of the few episodes that was actually better than the anime, as it fleshed out the story of Fearless, Vicious, and Julia.

Lots of drama, very little action or humour, and was very grown up compared to the cartoon vibe of the rest of the series.

A mature 8/10.

From an otherwise good series this is the first episode that is complete garbage.

It is all a flashback, back to things that never made much sense in the first place and just gets dumber by going into details.

This show is absolutely fantastic. The acting has been top notch, and the writing has taken risks to be original and still capture the tone of the original anime! This episode in particular is amazing. A noir style flashback that answers all lingering questions. Just brilliant

The shear tonnage of complaints from basement dwelling trolls is absurd.

This episode, and the one after, prove that the show's creators are merely capable mimics rather than having any insight into the themes that make the original series so charming. After 8 brilliant episodes full of allusions and foreshadowing, the character motivations are revealed to be flat, cliched and stupid. And as an almost perfect compliment to the banality of the plot, the equally brilliant musical score has been replaced by the incipient noodling of electric blues guitar that reminds me of every time I've wanted to puncture my own eardrums after taking the wrong turn at a jazz festival. This episode stinks. The one after is arguably worse. I created an IMDB account just to say as much. But you don't have to suffer my same fate. Pretend this reboot ends with Sad Clown A-Go-Go and go on to lead a happy, productive life.
