The episode speaks about how lifeless anime is when it's simply generated by AI; it has no passion, much like the reviews for this episode currently. The plot makes complete sense for a person who took their time to watch the anime, and for a time-travel anime.
I'm still pretty invested and engaged, and the end of this episode has me wondering what will come next. This anime is gonna end up worsening my trust issues with the number of traps though (T_T)
