Dangit Kirb! You know how to throw good curve balls!
O.K I definitely remember El Mutante de Neo (aka Neomutant...see what I did there?) from TTA and other than the more mellow personality, he's no different from his TTA counterpart! And Archy seems so sweet! I can see the old Ericho from TTA in him but a lot of the newer character too. I just hope he doesn't get infected by a virus but knowing you, you may throw us in for another loop. And their voices fit perfectly since you got in these pros to guest star!
And speaking of loops, I like how much more developed Flamy and Kirb became. Heck I can tell that Flamy is bearing the purple fire this time and NOT Kirb! But I'm still wondering what secrets the swordsman seems to be keeping. I mean I noticed he'd been off since Episode 6 in not correcting Nylocke on his name right away so I wonder what you got in store for him.
And the new ending theme seems to be perfect for Alpha and Flamy, as well as her new hair!
Good luck with the Gemini Tournament Arc along with Episode 8 Kirb and the rest of the guys!
