The pacing is too slow for a second episode. It keeps hitting the same spot over and over again. As the MC first time exploring current day Kyoto, felt like it could've let the series breath a bit more and fit in more comedy and lightheartedness and wholesomeness. But Instead it's just filed with panic and confusion. This was not Lara's first lifetime as a human. If the previous life was entertaining as a human, there's no reason that this life makes her want to go back to the ocean.

Episode Context

Episode 1 established Lara's origins, her forbidden love, and her miraculous return, making Episode 2 the true entry point into her present-day life and the personal stakes that will drive the season. This episode functions as a bridge, grounding Lara in contemporary Shiga and clarifying her relationship with Grace before the story shifts in Episode 3 toward a more deliberate search for her human 'prince' alongside Mari.
