"Perfect"

So, OK, it starts with all this Grigori nonsense I didn't get, but anyway it was an enjoyable episode, but better than enjoyable. It was awesome.

It was exciting, had enough action, enough twists, especially when the old lady suddenly killed Sonja, but Sonja suddenly killed the old lady and battles Saya. I loved that part.

Now the battle scenes were most enjoyable, and at the ending showed the time when Saya planned on sleeping for a very long time. Saya asks if Hagi remembers the promise, and so on and so forth. It was also a very cool scene.

Well originally everything in this episode was awesome.moreless

This was a great flashback episode, giving us a glimpse in the past struggles of Saya and Hagi. This episode takes place in the depths of Saya's memories. One of the interesting aspects of this episode his the differences in both Saya and Hagi. Saya is more focused, unhesitant. She seems older, in a sense, although the events took place 100 years prior to the current time line. Hagi, too, appears different, more open and expressive. He even smiles. This difference gives the impression that something significant has happened in the interceding years. We are left to speculate what that may have been. The dialogue was very good, and while there really did not seem to be any subplot threads, this ep stands in stark contrast to all the previous episodes. The combat scene was good, if not spetacular. Amshel appears, in part, for the first time. Diva, once again, was so close...but still so far away.moreless

Saya has a lengthy flashback involving Haji and herself in Russia eighty-some years ago.

Saya wakes up after falling off the train to find herself in 1920s Russia. Immediately I then realized it was a flashback.

She and Haji are searching for the missing Russian princess Anastasia for some reason. It was never really explained why, though, which is sad, because I was always interested in that bit of history.

Anyway, along the way they encounter a girl named Sonia who takes them in, and lo and behold, she's really a chiropteran in disguise. (Actually, it would seem she's really a man disguised as a girl too...creepy.)

I really enjoyed this episode; we see Haji express more emotion than he ever has. It makes you wonder what happened between the '20s and the present day. Also, we see he is in fact capable of surviving being impaled. Honestly, can anything kill that guy?

I certainly hope not.moreless

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin Although his name is rearranged and spelled a bit differently here (Gregory Rasputin Efimovich), Grigori Rasputin (known as Rasputin, the Mad Monk) was an influental figure in Romanov politics and even influenced Czar Nicholas II to an extent. During World War I, Rasputin took over several offices himself.
  
  Rasputin was a healer who used strange experimental medical techniques such as leeches and hypnosis. Similarly, the figure in this episode explored medical areas as well to create artificial humans. It is possible that Grigori Rasputin might be Gregory Efimovich: Hagi noted that Efimovich was alledgedly assassinated in 1916; in reality, Grigori was poisoned by military officials in 1916 and died in St. Petersburg.
  EDIT SHARE
- Anastasia is a Russian princess who has been missing since the Bolshevik revolution; it is also made as two movies. One was made back in 1956 with Ingrid Bergman and the second is a cartoon movie made by 20th Century Fox in 1997.
