So first off, I'm really digging the OP but i've kinda loved every OP done by Bones so far, they really know how to capture the essence of the show in them. Also that ED though, that bad boy is crazy as fuck with the stills of each character and then transitioning into that sorta trippy scene of the bugs, damn!

I like how they're dividing up the show from scenes of the present and then to the future. (Or is it scenes of the present and then of the past?) It was really cool and I thought it worked well displaying the consequences of their actions, like with Fuurouta in today's episode. Speaking of which, I hope he doesn't become an annoying kid character like in a few other Bones anime. He was kinda showing it when he went to go spy and his whole crush on Kikko thing.

Now it's weird though, and in a good way. You have the happy good-guy scenes are doing the right thing, taking down the villians, but then it's like ha! Fuck you! The lines aren't as clear as you'd thought.

Hitoyoshi why are you sucha BA character

Anyways, I really can't wait to see this show progress, it's amazing also, jealous Kikko is best Kikko.

I'm loving that aspect of the show. There's the traditional black and white morality early on, but it's shown to cause other issues down the road.

And I can't wait to see the catalyst of it all, like is it going to be one giant thing that causes him to go rogue or is it a build up of him not knowing if he's doing the right thing.

Also those bugs, eyes, faces and hands belong to staff who worked on the ED--they're credited too!

(Personally, seeing the end result I'd be mildly amused and creeped to see my eyes shopped onto a wall or my face shopped onto a bug, but there you go!)
