“Family Time\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Despite its wildly off model animation, this episode of Angel Heart<\/I> does a good job of healing some relationships. It bows to several instances of bizarre comedy, and there are some hurdles I<\/I> can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite overcome, but I would place this episode on the side of good.
\n
\nUmibozu finds Xin Hong vacuuming Cat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Eye very early in the morning and essentially tells him that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a live in staff member. Shan In despairs in her bed because she doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a name, but when Xin Hong accidentally lets it slip all manner of carnage ensues.
\nBoth Ryo and Xin Hong seem reluctant to tell Shan In that Master Li is her father, but Ryo sets them up on a day out in the city without telling Shan In who Li is.<\/p>\n
The absolute first thing that must be noted is that Umibozu has<\/I> to be blind as he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wearing cat pyjamas. Everyone who knows anything about Umibozu knows that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s deathly afraid of felines. The other thing is that Umibozu sleeps in his sunglasses. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just that hardcore, I suppose.<\/p>\n
The core of the episode, beyond the sweet “you are my child\u00e2\u20ac\u009d scene (and again, I feel that the father daughter relationship that Ryo and Shan In forge eliminates any possible creepiness between them), is the trip of Master Li and Shan In.
\nI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always found Master Li very hard to sympathise with because, while he is Shan In\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s father, he was one of the pioneers of the “turn children into ruthless killers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d scheme. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s difficult to relate to him on anything approaching a human level because his actions as leader of a crime syndicate have been anything but humane.
\nSo, on one level I can register some happiness at his deep thanks for Ryo. On another, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just a crime lord and Shan In will be better off without him. Saeba Ryo has always been about helping out people in an illegal fashion, but at least their illegalities have erred on the side of righteousness.<\/p>\n
On other positive sides, Xin Hong looks to get along well with Saeba, even if the hospital scene was pure strangeness. Shan In is very quickly learning to enjoy herself, and that is clearly because of all of the good people that she has met in Kabuki-cho. <\/p>\n
At the moment, even when Angel Heart<\/I> is bad, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good. I really can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fault that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
