Well, it could have been worse and the team thought to contract with GoHands...they are supposed to be cheap right? Smile

It seemed to me that while this show began with the intriguing concept of 'What the blank has happened to what was once a screwed-up videogame?', it pretty quickly forgot about the search for answers and became a typical 'What would I do if I had fantastic powers and everyone feared and admired me?' show. I haven't watched the last episode yet, but that is the impression I have at the moment. Shin's search for the truth is half-hearted at best. And why did an old comrade of Shin feel a need to duel him? That had nothing to do with what was supposed to be the basic plot of this show and seemed like a waste of time to me. It only made sense when you remember that this is all based on a simulated combat game.
