Homura is A force to be reckoned with; her confidence during her entire duel was pleasing to see. The fact that Shiki was able to trust her so quickly is also a detail to be noted. It usually takes him about the length of an episode to make him rely on someone... so this was quite A difference.

Anyway, I cannot wait for that snail guy to be punched in the face along with Illega. The kidnapping arc is a little slow, but I like the little side quests being covered while it is being played out.
