well, i got encountered feelings with this arc in particular . For the good side i kind of liked a little the romantic story of bai yin, bai jin and francine, for the bad side i could not take seriously many of the dialogues actions and thoughts of the characters so the impact of this story lowered considerably, for the good side the story of the origin of automatons and the aqua vitae is interesting and add a lot of intrigue to the story, for the bad side i don't want to advance much in this story if is going to be as stupid as has been to this point. For the good point new characters as wang, ming xia and the narumi master were awesome and are very exploitable if they are used right, for the bad side in one point was narumi (as ever) the one who stole the spotlight and made look everybody else useless (except for master of narumi, he was awesome) and we all know how bad is fujita using another characters that are not his main protagonists, for the good side action scenes were awesome and filled with energy and extremeness, by the bad side some other scenes had chaotic drawing making them hard to understand or follow. The arc was... Good? interesting? is really this manga worthwhile? this is not going to betray me as many other shonen? just time will say...
