Actually, this episode moves at a deliberate pace in building up the depth of the plot direction through its heavy dialogue. However, it still manages to strike a great balance, which effectively heightens the intense momentum and emphasizes the unexpected revelations and situations. I have to admit, I didn't expect the story's progression to be this totally engaging, even though I thought some of the possibilities might feel a bit predictable, the visual aesthetics, animation, the seiyuu and character development are what really kept me thoroughly hooked.
