Just watched all episodes and all I can say is the ending is sad. Isaac and his sister died. I just felt that these two characters were used merely as a plot device. It’s funny that no one mentioned anything about the death of Isaac’s superior it’s like no one cared why he was killed by Isaac and what was the conspiracy behind it all.

I’ve been wanting to see this. Thankfully, it’ll be available on Netflix so I can at least try rather than buy.

Actually, I think Ray stole those glasses from Basara.

This does indeed look very cool.
It’s on my to-watch list, but after reading that, it’s moved up in priority.
But yeah, about the glasses? They’re just for the badass look. Shades are badass.

@Uena
I know.

@TheAndySan
It’s worth checking out if you have an hour and a half to spare.

@Eirias
Thanks for the correction! Silly typos get me all the time. I definitely noticied the lack of it in modern works. It has more roots in Greek stories originating from Oedipus I believe.

@Hoshi
The third episode has been subbed by Ureshii fansubs! The french ending was really different. It reminded me of Ghost in the Shell’s opening (I don’t know the language it was in, I believe Russian).

The third episode is out? I didn’t watch it cause it didn’t have subs. And like I told Omisyth, the French ending rocks. It’s just that good.

Anyhow, I like how you’ve phrased it - “a double-edged sword” - like the yin and the yang, right?

Interesting article. I must note that the concept of a “fatal flaw” you refer to is actually hamartia, not harmatia (it essentially derives from the greek ἁμαρτία, to “miss the mark” ). It is an underused concept in modern works, to be sure, especially given its dominance in the classical world. I’ll have to look into Strait Jacket.

Hmm, looks interesting.
I think I’ll have to watch it as soon as I’m done with Salaryman Kintaro!
