Woohoo! Second episode opened with Takakura and Maruo arguing about obento boxes. Its pretty funny how they argue about the most trivial matters. And at the worst timings as well...usually when they're in the middle of arresting someone or on a stakeout.
I think this episode really starts to explore more of Takakura and Maruo's characters. Takakura exposes a more human side when he meets Kousuke-kun and we see him as more than just a cold, elitist who is always ready to criticise Maruo. When Maruo makes a comment about how it would be better if the lawyer had gotten shot, and Takakura tells him never to say that again, I just thought it was so well done. You can almost sense the painful memories that Takakura feels. This episode also sees Maruo's extra-curricular activities: gokon. But it's not what he expects, more of a "gang rally" and I just couldn't help laughing out loud at his kowai expression! Also, there were some hilarious bits of Maruo and Yuki-chan like when she finds out that they will all be living together and Maruo makes such a lecherous expression, then hurriedly saying it was a joke when Yuki-chan gets scared, only to have Horikawa say that it's not a joke at all. And when Takakura flips Yuki-chan and throws her on the floor and Maruo "pounces" on her and she tells him not to touch her in the confusion.
I'm really enjoying this show and how funny it gets with every episode! I was reading yesterday that the time slot for Tokyo DOGS is Mondays at 9pm and the theme is Getsu Kyun, kyun meaning "heart palpitations". Don't you just get that kyunkyun feeling when you see these two main characters running around on screen? Haha!
