The art design in this episode was definitely haunting in some especially darker scenes. Kudos on that for the animation team. Still a bittersweet episode as always

Focused more on the internal monologue and struggles of the characters instead of the actual cultural festival preparation and events that were happening simultaneously. The switching between past and present was kinda confusing too

This ep felt slower than usual and it didn't have as much impact as the previous ones. Hopefully the next one is more attention-grabbing

Episode Context

Arriving at the series' midpoint after five episodes of character-building groundwork, this installment uses a supernatural lens to excavate what previous episodes established about its cast, particularly the histories shaping Kinue and Katsurako. It functions as a bridge episode, pausing external momentum to deepen internal stakes. What surfaces here about unresolved pasts appears positioned to inform the character decisions and conflicts the second half of the season will likely put to the test.
