EPISODE REVIEWS
I like the first half of this episode, the villain group felt a bit more complex and the character the first half focuses on actually has an interesting backstory. The writing here also takes its time to make me understand where this person comes from before putting them in front of Rin and Manji which actually makes the encounter hit a lot harder than it would without the context.
Magatsu's presence really gave this episode an intense feeling. At the same time, Rin's emotions made everything feel heavier, especially in some scenes. I like how the story balanced the action with those emotional moments. It made this episode more interesting and kept me watching.
I liked how this episode focused more on the fight and made the weapon feel like an important part of the story. The action was exciting, and the emotional moments helped give the battle more weight. It was a fun change of pace that kept me interested without relying only on the fights. I’d say this one is worth a look for how it mixes intense action with a bit more character focus.
