Wow, this episode was insane! We finally get explanations about the messed up world! This episode almost made me tear up because it focuses a lot about being alone and being lonely as well! A solid and well done episode indeed! ;)
I can finally say this without spoiling this episode: μ is Hatsune Miku and Aria is Rin Kagamine. We finally get a full explanation of the origin of this fabricated world and its purpose. We know μ doesn't have bad intentions, but we finally learn why she imprisons people against their will (if you like Digital Circus or I Have No Mouth...). This episode has many reflections on loneliness and the ways of experiencing it. It's quite clever that within the debate about Smeagol (yes, from Lord of the Rings), we get a clue as to how both characters cope with their loneliness. I think the only negative point is the resolution of the conflict. It feels a bit ridiculous.
I like the character Suzuna, who struggles with social anxiety. Her dread of judgment is addressed with unexpected compassion to erase the world, and I love the scene which has combined intense action with profound psychological insight
