EPISODE REVIEWS
Ufotable is literally flexing their entire budget. The dimensional layout shifts in the Infinity Castle are a kinetic masterpiece that makes your head spin in the best way. Shinobu’s fight is pure emotional violence. A bit heavy on the internal monologue, but the payoff is unreal.
An almost perfect movie but suffers from pacing issues. They get you pumped and hyped on the fights only to get suddenly slowed down by a flash back or a internal monologue. It might've worked if they are split into different episodes but for a movie, it's very disruptive. On the good side, everything else is close to perfection. The work speaks for itself.
