Ga-Rei-Zero 02 – The tie that binds.

I’ll be honest with ya, after watching ep2, I started to doubt the value of one. However, no, I”m not stupid and I’ve seen enough anime to know that someone probably survived from the slaughter of Special Agent Team 4. At least that’s what it looks like to me.

Or it’s just the tunnel for zombies to appear. Oh well, so much for shock value

But yes, everyone who were preeminent in ep1 died, and now we completely switch to another group – Team (I forgot the number) from the Supernatural Disaster Response Section.

Aside from the sudden change and my suspicion that ep1 was for pure shock value only, the show, with its great pacing, excellent animation and the fights, doesn’t cease to impress me.

So, it comes down to this – why does Yumi decide to betray?

Something must’ve happened after her betrayal and she made a deal with the devil – or it seemed.

She’s in conflict with Kagura, right?

Oh I forgot, somebody was too nice and she got killed. Another one added to the death list.

Kill ‘em all Tomino, anyone?

Some kind of competition is going on as the environmental bureau apparently has the upper hand here, as everyone from the Defense Bureau, even Team 4 with supernatural abilities, died.

But Kagura appears to be dead, too, and now what?

The ties that bound Kagura and Yomi was pretty fragile, as Yomi happily betrayed after learning that she wasn’t as strong as Kagura. Not much of a tie.

The tension right before they actually started attacking in the tunnel was great. Kagura should’ve finished her off. Nice technique, though.

Don’t get me wrong, I like what happened in the show so far, especially with the animation and the action. The cliff hangers do have me on the edge of my seat and the pacing is never lame. But as for the plot?

We’ll have to see.

P.S. You know the odd thing is? Is it me or Yomi is actually going to be the main character? Weird.

About the Author

I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears.

    Given the incredible ambiguousness of it all, I’m going to wait and see how this turns out.

    It seems to me that Yomi is basically the one orchestrating the supernatural events. so far, no real main characters have been highlighted and it’s simply strange how everything is working out.
