**WARP GATE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
I know I say "Rule of 8," but for this series, it might have to be "Rule of 9," because this episode was STELLAR!
Getting so much depth with Knives's character, his motivations, Zazie's "role" in this story, and the mystery amping up as we get towards the climax of the season -- there was a LOT to talk about this episode and I'm living for it!

**GREEN AND RED GHOSTLY HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
I can't believe we're already to the "Rule of 8," but what a rule it is! I'm so excited! We meet the second "Great Calamity," and he is quite the trash king but I love him already! The drip, the censoring of his words! The way Hua Cheng does NOT like him!?
It makes for a Fantastic episode that's my favorite so far! More, please!!

**DIVERSION-BASED HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
How?! How are we already tying back around to Episode 1's opening sequence?! How are we getting more backstory, more tension, and more insane cliffhangers?! Romania is SHAKEN! STIRRED, even!
It seems we've reached the climax of the series, but we still have four episodes to go...I have a bad, very bad, feeling about all this...

**HOMELY HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
It's time for a flashback episode and what a flashback it is! I loved getting insight into Vash and Knives and especially the aftermath of the "crash" and Vash's awkward teenage years! We get more on the plants and a lot of "show" vs. "tell" that I really liked...
...and then the show has to leave us with a HUGE tease of a cliffhanger to keep the mystery building and I cannot WAIT to see what goes down next week!

Watch your ears in this one, y'all! We end Volume 7 with a BANG! As the Heavenly Officials, Mortals, AND Ghost City residents unite against Jun Wu and his strike against the Royal Capital!
But that is FAR from it as we have flirting, helping the elderly, Qi Rong's last stand, and a final trip to Mt. Tonglu amidst all the surprises that had me gagging this chapter set! I don't know if I'm going to be able to wait to start Volume 8,...

But with everyone seemingly at death's door NEXT EPISODE...uhm...how we getting out of this? I'm...very concerned and very curious!

MARTIN. MY DUDE. How in three episodes did this man wiggle his way into my heart and make me love him so much?! UGH. URASAWA, WHY?!
I loved his arc and journey in this show and what a theme and message he carries with him -- and WHAT a reunion with Eva and Tenma! Raise your coffee mugs to Martin -- I know I will be for a long time, now.

Ooohhhh, this episode...quite frankly, Huuuurrrrtttttt. Rin and his crew are definitely the "Top 3" for a reason but aside from needing a thorough dose of therapy, they also are snatching up the unexpected from our group...leaving the formerly "most dangerous" player of Building 5 and "most potential" in the Loser's Gate to try and figure out their next move...

WELL -- we get a lot in this episode set! Shogo's "Book Club" expands (And Kogami lays down a selection), the Public Safety Bureau gets creepier, Family Relations are FINALLY confirmed, and the society of Psycho-Pass gets darker and darker -- cloudier, if you will, despite the "clear hues!"
I am living for what this series is putting down, but things are getting grisly and I'm curious what all Shogo Makishima has in store for us! ...

After last episode, all these elements showed up to make Wolfwood and Vash's world a nightmare, and seeing how they handled it was soooo much fun, but so angst-filled and heartbreaking!
This show is halfway over, but I have so many questions, there's so much mystery, and I can't wait to see where it goes! Especially with the "Rule of 8" on the horizon...

Welp...."I'm in Danger," aren't I?
This episode went off the rails REAL QUICK, as our heroes gallant effort to rescue Griffith is met with success and failure, as things will likely never be as they once were. Meanwhile, Griffith is having some inner thoughts, fates are aligning, and just in time for that one, tiny little moment Zodd warned us about all those episodes ago...Hoo Boy. Two episodes to go...I'm sure our group can turn this...
