The Bount Arc provides some truly redeeming qualities. It provides enough action and character development mixed with a dose of humor to make worthwhile to continuing watching it. The story isn’t bad, plus, you get to see Kon. The flip-side is that the story is a bit of an emotional deflation after the climactic conclusion of the last arc. After finding out that Aisen is really the evil mastermind behind so much, the complete change of pace is a harsh jolt. Every story has its ebb and flow, and this arc is a bit of an ebb but still enjoyable. Enjoyably recommended!

I guess everyone is so unimpressed with "The Bount" arc that nobody cares to make a comment...

Well, it is ok. I personally like it. But in comparison with the main story...

Enjoy your 45 episode "ebb". It's not a bad arc, it just goes way too long.

I have sampled a few episodes via Cartoon Network and it doesn't seem too bad. I try not to watch too much as I want to have a fresh perspective for the reviews.

I do like the fact the releases are going to pick some steam now!
