Season finale was better than expected!

The season finale was definitely not the comedic genius Metalocalyse viewers have gotten used to. It is a different kind of genius. More brutal! With the Metalocalypse begun, who knows where the show will go next season? It will be interesting to see how the manager's story goes. I should have guessed that the manager of the world's most brutal band had some kind of trick up his sleeve. I am also wondering if the assassin is truly dead. After all, a stab in the back isn't always fatal. Being thrown into an icy river could do it, however. I can barely wait to watch this show next season. Hopefully it will have more of the bloody chaos that we were teased with in this episode.
