Kurozuka - Episode 2
The Tomb Of Karma
An excelent episode, I’m really likking this series now.
The story-line gets a little confusing in this episode. There’s basically three parts, all happening in diferent times chronologically.
First, there’s a robber that attacks Kuromitsu and Kuro, cutting Kuro’s head off. As they are immortal, Kuromitsu goes back to her house and brings Kuro’s body who is alive but, still separated lol. This scene seems to be chronologically some time after what happened in the first episode.
The rest of this part was really cool and well done. There’s also some parts with Benkei being brainwashed or something.
Then, we bo back to following where the first episode left off. Kuro is in the process of becoming immortal. He is supposed to suffer for one hour after becoming a vampire. Too bad assassins appear.
They attack him and Kuro. Although he’s heavly injured, he goes to help Kuro, using his new vampire powers, although it’s hard to tell where his powers begin, because everyone in this series seems really powered up.
Anyway, in this scene we learn that searching for Kuro and Kuromistu have achieved some kind of "immortality" but, they still get old and look like mummies.
Kuro kills everyone. Then Benkei appears and deceives them killing Kuro by cutting his head. lol if this continues he’ll get some serious neck problem.
Then, the third scene shows Kuro waking up in the future and it seems that the last thing he remembers is being killed by Benkei. This doesn’t make much sense because the first scene of the episode only makes sence to have happened in between the other two scenes.. Which means that scene number 2 wouldn’t be the last in his memory.
There’s also the possibility that Kuro, in the future, has lost his memory and is remembering some stuff, not sequentially. And the last scene is simply the first time ever that he woke consciently in the future. Although, him woking up exactly in the same place that he died in scene 2..
..well, the next episodes will probably answer some questions :)
- Personal Enjoyment: 4/5
