It just feels like a waste to me, the characters have no personality, there is nothing at stake besides buildings and there are no themes being brought up. The art as usual is spectacular, it really builds atmosphere with it's impressive shading and visual effects, accompanied by the incredible Yoko Kanno for background music, so much goodness there. Is their motivation bad? Is their motivation good? Is the good motivation able to justify blowing up buildings? I have no idea, it doesn't tell me. There is no knowledge of who these kids are, all we know is that they are some psychopath kids, sure we'll get an explanation later, but if we don't know their overall goal now we cannot possible gain any sort of emotion attachment to one side or the other. It was completely obvious the detective was going to solve the riddle this episode because otherwise it would have been just a copy of last weeks episode, there are no twists that catch me off guard or any reason to care one way or another. How can there be tension when there is nothing at stake besides some buildings?
