    I was all ready for a training arc in classic shonen style. However, this show never takes its foot off the accelerator and we are confronting turbo granny next episode.

    Something that this show has consistently done incredibly well is get me invested in the characters so quickly. Momo and Okarun have such a natural chemistry with outstanding VAs bringing it out. One of my favorite moments this episode was when Momo threw open the door, saw Okarun was fine, and then closed it out of embarrassment. I guess Ken Takakura isn’t the only awkward one around here. Also, we only met Seiko this episode for the first time, but that little hug she gives Momo as she leaves was such a nice moment. It is really impressive how they manage to fit these little moments into all the craziness going on everywhere else.

    Finally, I know that when this premiered in theaters, this was the stopping point for the film. I would have been pissed at things ending with this cliffhanger. So, I am glad I only have to wait a week.
