Specs for the blu-ray release have been released (hurr, I made it redundant):

http://www.mania.com/aodvb/showpost.php ... ostcount=1

From what I gathered the 1st volume will contain 3 episodes, and they're planning to release 8 blu-ray volumes. That means this series will last for 24 episodes.

Episode 5!

Interesting backstory episode on Kazari joining Judgment and her first meeting with Kuroko.
Spoiler :
Without Kuroko going all lesbian crazy, she tends to be hard-strong and charge into matters without thinking ahead in her work. That of course led to Kuroko and later Kazari getting injured in attempting to arrest a car-jacker and his accomplice at the parking lot. At that point their relationship got strained, and it initiated a flashback on how those two ended up being partners.

Compared to what happened at the parking lot during the flashback, the situation was far worse during a robbery attempt in the post office. Kuroko foolhardily attempted to take down the robber without considering a potential accomplice on the scene at the same time. That accomplice made his move and made Kazari his hostage. He has a special ability of tossing an object at a straight line at constant speed until it hits an object in which that object gets destroyed. He used it against one of the security drones in which shrapnel hit at Kuroko's mentor.

The situation got settled when Kuroko used her last ounce of strength to teleport Kazari out of the post office, and then an unexpected electrical attack from yours truly! :wink:

Back to the present, the two seemingly patch things up when Kazari discovered the location of the car-jackers, and Kuroko deciding to join up with her as is the right thing to do (in the name of justice, of course!).

I found it really amusing that Kuroko bad-mouthed Misaka before they met. That must have been one hell of a first meeting those two experienced. :lol:

I was hoping for more Biri-biri screentime, but this episode gave a good ammount of character development between our other main characters, so it all works out.

A spinoff of a spinoff?! Has that ever been done before in the world of TV entertainment?

Kuroko is practically the main charcter. Index wasn't the main character of her show, so I guess Kuroko is this show's Touma, in a sense.
