And Active Raid gets another notch in the Good column. The show’s actually developing a pretty good ratio at this point – there have certainly been some weaker episodes, but the greater majority have been solid ranging to excellent, and it seems like the show will actually be pulling together well. It’s still “just” a procedural police drama for the most part, and lacks the vivid strengths in character, themes, or aesthetics that might make it truly shine, but it’s a competent and often very engaging slice of what it is. Not every show needs to set the world on fire.

“In the Name of Logos”
A WillWear robbing a bank
“Dog,” one of the Logos subordinates, seems to be going rogue
The WillWear was originally used for fishing
That’s why it creates holographic fish as bait
He’s called the “Fisherman”
“Logos is not an organization. It’s a bunch of loosely linked individuals moving in the same direction”
Mythos is the main guy, Bird’s the other one
Dog is not impressed with Logos’ games
And so Mythos and Bird eliminate him
Or not. He actually gets away, and I’m sure he now has a grudge
Rin’s friend in the government is showing her a file with evidence of the governor’s corruption
Ah, the governor’s using Logos to crush his political opponents. Or at least his aid is
And so in order to get that data from her, Dog agrees to get the file back
Inagi is Rin’s friend
The difference between the available methods of Unit 8 and everyone else is pretty aggravating
And Dog immediately starts picking up girls
Dog really is a kid
“Is it an SOS? Or… she might just be stupid.”
Rin goes out herself!
“Everyone’s trying to make a fool of me!”
Rin’s WillWear is kickass
So Naganuma was their communal teacher
