Blood+ was pretty good. I just felt it was a bit too long and yet the ending still felt rushed.
Oh and shame on Jon for chasing away Reiko.

I've just watched 28 (?) which is about all the Asian refugees in Japan.
This episode is going to be the one that makes me stop watching in disgust. The entire episode clearly reinforces my earlier post - the Japanese culturally see themselves as separate from the Asians. The Asian refugees in this episode are shown to be stocky, swarthy, and fundamentally different from the tall strapping Japanese. The central theme of vengeance is described by Motoko with uncharacteristic venom as the dream of a loser who would never accomplish anything. Basically the message I got from this episode was: if you're Asian, but not Japanese*, don't even bother - you'll never amount to anything much except suckling at the teat of Mother Japan's dole handouts.
* Of course, in the Japanese way of thinking, Asian and Japanese are two mutually exclusive categories. So this was just included for all you culturally ignorant viewers who may have thought they were Asian, when they're clearly Aryan Europeans, as drawn in this animation.
Stick me with a fork - I'm done watching this. The low point of the first series was the "Chat! Chat! Chat!" episode, which was just badly scripted and where nothing of value actually happened. But that took about 10 episodes to arrive. 2nd Gig has outdone its predecessor by making me retire in disgust at an outright racist episode only two sessions in.
If you don't mind a spoiler then if you watch the series to its end Section 9 proves that the refugees were mere pawns of political opportunists. In a way the series winds up being a condemnation of that sort of Japanese racism you disapprove of.
Does anyone know if there is going to be another season, or a spin-off. I watched all of the TV series on Netflicks and I'd sort of like to see more.

I liked Blood+ also.
And yeah, I am in the ranks of peoplelike Ben Kenobi and Asher...
