Arquitenens

Haven't heard of one of those in a while...

MFW pads and drilling, 120 burpees (total throughout the session), followed by sparring...

@drifter_: You know I would've had a bit to add to that. You've already awakened the genius once today.

One thing I have observed is that, for the sake of the plot, the super hearing of vampires is extremely inconsistent in this show. One minute they can hear a crunching twig from some far off place in a forest while other things are going on; but the next, they can't hear someone whispering just a few feet behind them in an otherwise quiet area.

Okay season 4 Carmilla does give some Valentina vibes.

Also this is extremely accurate.

It seems like Trevor's main virtue is battle tactics, but in everything else from combat utility to overall knowledge, she blows him out of the water.

Sypha has some of the best fight choreography in the entire show, if not the best. I've always dreamed of spellcasters who could be shown as dynamic in the use of their powers, and she embodies exactly the kind of thing I envision when I think of it. Mobile, adaptable, creative. And the animation itself is [chef's kiss].

I'd love to be able to express ideas for scenes and have those animated as such. Phenomenal job by the people who worked on it.

Their dynamic is so predictable, but somehow actually endearing this time, and I usually hate that trope as I see it in fiction, especially anime.

I suppose because she's still shown as being capable in the same light as he is when it comes down to it.

And like...he's trying...He's just bad at it.

@drifter_: You were close, about half right. 2/3s if you count "Blue + [body part]." Might even be able to lobby for a bit more with "Blue + [body part in head]."

Which is impressive considering I don't recall anybody actually speaking his name in the episode.

Vampire Jesus is pretty neat too.
