EPISODE REVIEWS
Sato scares me more and more—the way he changes his appearance with makeup, the "kill list," and the purge. The paranoia hits an all-time high because he explicitly warns exactly who he’s going to kill and when. Watching the government try to prepare while knowing Sato is always three steps ahead is incredibly stressful.And I still don't get Kei—why hide the fact that he's an Ajin? I need answers about his black ghost; it’s as if it were the manifestation of all his repressed feelings.
I kind of love how eccentric Ogura is; he’s one of my favorite characters after Sato, even if he’s a bit cartoonish at times. Sato is showing his cruelty more and more as the anime progresses, and that feels like a direct reflection of Kei’s own development too. It almost seems like Kei is going to become another version of Sato.
Seems like Sato is bound to keep his promise, and every death on the list results in less prep time for Nakano and Nagai. The pacing seems a little disrupted with the changing POVs, but besides that, the episode does a decent job at keeping you engaged with little lore drops. Poor Nagai seems to be going through an especially difficult time.
