6 eps deep (9 total). Two of my predictions published with Den came true, one of which I predicted back in s3. That one took me a sec to put together but it’s quite good how it’s played out. I’m pleased I was right. Yay me.
The eps are still like a half hour and very bingeable - the eps are paced for those end-of-ep cliffhangers. The Mexico arc is a bit distracting and resolves in just a few eps. It’s all about Silver getting into Daniel’s head again, which he does with psycho panache.
In e2, we see Silver’s sword room, which is a bit lame because the katanas are blade down (meaning house of peace) and the two handers remind me of some Oscar pieces we carried at AFS. Also Silver handles the katana improperly when showing it off.
It doesn’t hit its stride until e3 and the Mexico arc is over. This season is going for more heartfelt moments - some work well - karate wisdom dropping. I did get the feels a few times.
It could be funnier. The humor isn’t as strong as previous seasons.
The fight choreo is ok. Ralph still can’t sell a punch but the rest are okay. The fights are more staged - one strike one shot but it works okay for this.
The way the characters are reintroduced is surprising sometimes (especially cameo 2).
Liking it overall but this season doesn’t seem as strong - mostly I feel the decrease
