It was pretty much as i expected, a great episode. Taurus Bulba looks really cool as a half-machine, half-bull hybrid. The animation is good as usual, no dramatical changes. This episode manages to be very dark throughout, with lesser jokes than usual but more horror and action. And that's a good thing. The only thing that bothered me was the ending. They could(and should) either let Taurus Bulba die OR decided from the very start that this should be a two-part episode. The ending is painful to watch, knowing that there is no following conclusion.
