I don't care if it's guro like that (if that's considered guro)--so long as the girl isn't injured, I don't care. I just find it odd when it's like this. Like super yandere sadist, or something.
Gil had the same, or a similar, mindset to the idea of starting OP late, but he caught up in due time. One Piece is hands down my favorite series ever, and nothing ever comes close to it (possibly Soul Eater at times).
It's worth it.
And I'm loving Keimi more and more as time progresses.
