EPISODE REVIEWS

Oh, now there are impersonations of foreign authors. For a moment I thought it wasn't going to happen. That's exciting. They come across as a real threat, and even though the Agency has powerful members, they seem somewhat defenseless. The fight against the new enemy is excellent, very flashy, and with good twists. I've been missing episodes like this. The Port Mafia looks a thousand times cooler than the Agency, which is supposed to be the protagonist of this story. I must say, though, that this episode doesn't feel like a season finale at all.

That finale was insane! The way Atsushi and Tanizaki worked together, and the setup was so clever. The tension kept stacking nonstop, and then that final moment with a major reveal completely flipped the mood 😱. It left everything feeling chaotic, intense, and way bigger than it started 🔥

New characters pop up!! The animation was really good. Also, I like the expressions, specifically Kyouka’s. And I was really shocked and amazed by the transitions. Some dialogues were somewhat emotional and it actually makes sense but it really depends on perspective. Though this was such a cliffhanger but it definitely sets the mood for the next season.
