1-3
I feel like this kinda got off to a slow start, but this last episode was pretty exciting. The villain (I guess the true villain is his father) looks like Genos' evil older brother or something, which makes him more interesting to me than he would be otherwise. Shallow reasoning, I know. Anyway, he's looking possibly redeemable, since he knows he got tagged and it seems to bother him that it wasn't a clean win. So...I think spoiler[Shun may have just died? Kinda early to sign him off], given the promo materials, but spoiler[he got his falling star] and everything, so it would seem to be the case.  That could affect my interest in this going forward, depending on how they handle it.

Oh, Gina... always the naive waif.
 Personally, I think it's a fake out, but we'll see. Great cliffhanger, though!

I'm normally pretty skeptical, but the spoiler[star]! Can't argue with that.
 So I'm thinking maybe spoiler[his soul went into one of the baseballs] - like that's why they look like eyeballs.

Episode 4
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. I'm still not convinced that spoiler[we've seen the last of Kamiya] but I'm impressed they've taken it even this far. The worst part of the whole thing... Gina Szanboti might be right! THE HORROR!!!
I'm very curious what those... chip?... things portend. |

Well, as you know, this is one the signs of the Apocalypse. You're right to be terrified. But the star never lies. That said, the new guy just looks like an ahoge-flipped and dyed Shun, so I think your prediction has already come true. I thought it was interesting how at the formation of the team, Shun's attitude toward the game was word-for-word like the Genos' Evil Twin guy's. Chip things -- you mean their tribe badges? I dunno. I just wish Minato's didn't look so much like a swastika made out of 9s. :/ Manji worked as what they are in Tokyo Revengers (and shouldn't have been censored), but not here. The ambiguity is too great to outweigh the baggage. Some of the other tribe logos are pretty neat though.

Ah, that's what they are - tribe badges. Mr. Observant did not pick up on that.
