Damn... what a great villain intro. Already has greater presence than Vicious. The atmosphere of the bar, the brutality of his beatings, the sweat on their faces, the unnerving calmness of his voice...

Well, here's someone's death that I want to look forward to. Holy shit.

There's definitely a pattern when it comes to murder and death in this anime. Starting with the attempted shotgunning of George at the swamp, continuing with the woman who fell off the cliff, and even hints of it in that weird church episode, there's this air of mystery surrounding death. Like there's always some kind of plausible deniability, and even when something is obviously a murder it is only talked about indirectly, like in this episode. It's actually terrifying how easily obscured the act of murder can be, especially in a corrupt town like this one. Really fits with the atmosphere of this show.

Toshiyuki Tsuru directing and Hirofumi Suzuki as animation director - that's a pleasant surprise. Really enjoyed how quiet and understated was the plot and setting of this episode. The tension in this bar was palpable, and the 3D backgrounds really added to the cinematic feel. It was really fun to see what this talented duo was up to before Naruto. According to the credits, they also did the finale. Looking forward to it all the more.

Rin is one crazy guy. I think he'll fit right in with the rest of the town.
