Reviews (2)
Probably the best and most intensive episode so far. It mainly dramatises the situation around the main female protagonist and brings the inevitable clash between the two Yakuza clans. Some of the movements on the chessboard are utterly unpredictable, thumbs up for that. ()
Alright, it's clear now that the creators have found their groove and style, and lucky for me, I'm vibing with both. Episode five took me back to Tokyo, and I gotta say, no complaints on this end. The whole code of honor lifestyle still fascinates me, and honestly, I kind of wish our politicians would apply the same punishment for its violation as the yakuza do. Just imagine the sight of dozens of politicians, forced to operate a mobile phone with their noses due to a complete absence of fingers. Yep, even criminals can come up with some surprisingly good ideas. / Lesson learned: That's what you get for asking questions. ()
