Why don’t anime characters ever just come out and say the reason that they’re pissed off at each other?Not a bad episode of Kenichi as far as Kenichi is concerned. The first half was certainly interesting enough with the Odin/Kenichi showdown. As soon as the eyecatch hit though, the entire tone and momentum of the episode changed as we went to nonsensical comic relief with Niijima, Siegfried and Tanimoto before trying to go back to being sort of quasi-touching with Miu and Kenichi. While it did include the arguably important return of Siegfried, it was a complete and awkward shift that totally lost the drama and impact of the first 12 minutes and really stuck out as fairly shoddy filler to pad out the episode.
