Well this episode was faithful to the anime origin in the case that IT WAS TERRIFYING. I hate clowns.

At least they were smart enough to get rid of the horrible hund, maybe it can project a movie of a thumb and hitchhike it's way to the opposite side of the galaxy. Good riddance!

No, don't leave Ein! He's my favorite character!

That was actually pretty faithful t the original, and by that I mean its creepy as hell. Freaky floating murder clown is freaky. The opening with everyone bowling, including Jet's bowling shirt, was fun, so of course shit gets real right after. 

Meanwhile, Vicious's coup goes down and of course doesn't go the way he planned, but he still came out on top. Sucks for Julia, and sucks that this subplot took away from the vastly for interesting main story.

John Noble has made an effort to become worst on screen father ever.

Hey, they at least got John Noble to show his face this go around: I was wondering if his initial appearance was only just voiceover work or not.  Not surprised that Vicious would manage to come out ahead, but with both Noble and Rachel House already taken off the board, my interest for this story has already cratered (but Mao totally fucked over Julia at the end, huh?)

Creepy clown hitman was an interesting choice and even though Jet and Faye will obviously be pissed over his sabotage, it was nice seeing Spike take on a baddie by himself and show how dangerous he can be.  But I have to imagine that his secret can't stay hidden for much longer.

I have to imagine Ein won't be abandoned for long, right?  Right?!
