SPIRAL-SPIRAL OF DESTINY-EPISODE 1-2 1/2 STARS

This series is about an emo dude named Ayumu, who gets into a bit of trouble in this episode, but with some brains, easily get’s out of it. He may be a genius like his brother Kyotaka, but unfortunately, Ayumu constantly lives in his shadow, which is kind of interesting since his brother has been missing for two years.

Last time Ayumu heard from his brother, he phoned to say he was off to pursue the mystery of the Blade Children, but he has never returned. Now I wish I could tell you more about the Blade Children, and as soon as I get more information on them, I’ll let you know.

Ayumu is an interesting character, he’s a loner, and a bore. Now how do I know this? Because every time he says something, I start to yawn. But I must give him kudos on having a brilliant mind, like his brother, and for being an excellent cook. So ladies, when you meet a guy that knows how to cook, hold on to him as long as you can!

But in this episode, he just threw some instant curry together, and there’s a certain sister-in-law that’s not so happy about that. 

Only thing is, I’m not sure that we ever find out who they are, but I do know they are cursed, but cursed with what, scarlet fever? Anyway, Ayumu needs to stop fantasizing about his brother, and focus on the present, ’cause he’s the main suspect in a possible murder plot.

Second year student Sayoko Shirangatani fell off the school building ledge, and Ayumu was seen nearby, and from what Professor Sinobe says, he didn’t try to help. Now I would have blamed Ayumu on looks alone, after all, he walks around lookin’ like a drugged out emo, of course he did it, right?

Uh oh, here comes Ayumu’s future sidekick Hiyono Yuizaki, and the editor of the Tsukiomi Academy Newspaper, and she’s all up in Ayumu’s grill, trying to get the 411 on everything that happened, even though she needs to go sit her ass down in a study hall somewhere.

Madoka (detective, and Ayumu’s sister in law), and Suemaru (another detective), come onto the scene to start the interrogations, but Ayumu is way too smart for them, and is able to solve this crime, without their help. You know, it’s a shame when a high school kid is smarter than the detectives that are supposed to be solving this kind of stuff.

While Sinobe didn’t push Sayoko off that landing, he is responsible for her terrifying fall, and all he needed was a pair of glasses to get the job done. Only thing is, Sinobe failed to kill Sayoko, and now he has a lot of explaining to do.
