EPISODE REVIEWS
The animation quality may have dipped a bit in this episode but the storytelling was so good that I honestly don't mind. Hopefully next episode we get to see Akashi back safe at port, and the team finally diving into the mystery of that Black Mental Cube.
A tense episode filled with action and battle scene from start to end. Javelin and Laffey third encounter with Ayanami was a great touch story-wise, making Ayanami inner conflict as the main attraction in this episode. Pace is adequate, animation has a few sudden drop but also stays high quality.
One thing I really enjoyed in this episode was how it showed many scenes to show how conflicted Ayanamu feels about Javelin and Laffey. I found their dynamic to be bittersweet and heartwarming. I like how it adds more depth to the story since it shows the conflict Ayanamu feels about them. Their interactions make the series feel much more fun to watch.
