EPISODE REVIEWS

The antagonist in this episode is way different than previous ones, the emotional stakes and general tone is dialed up to the max, with little room for the audience to breath. The idea of an invincible antagonist was heart stopping and genuinely felt impossible.

This episode was okay, the series seems to drift from the original concept it's shown in the first few episodes. In contrast to the first episode's simplicity in terms of antagonistic forces and characters, the more recent episodes take a sharp turn from that.

I really appreciate the scenes with the main trio (and ein), since it makes the whole episode way lighter in mood. The fun moments, especially with Faye, balance the episode contents out, especially since the topics they cover can sometimes be darker in tone.
