| Comments | |
| The viewer gets a quick and effective introduction to Ryo Saeba, the job he does ("It's my job as a sweeper to clean up the scum that falls through the cracks") and his particular quirk. An unusually serious case, dealing with a serial killer, but perhaps this was necessary to establish his reputation right from the start. Some good jokes likewise establish his reputation as a mischievious lech. My grade: B+ My favorite line: "He wasn't worth you getting your hands dirty. That's what guys like me are for" --Ryo | |
