EPISODE REVIEWS
This episode was quite weak in terms of plot, the villain, compared to the previous one, was very poorly done, visually ridiculous, and I don't think he contributes much to the story. It seemed like a filler episode, the only important thing happened in the last 5 seconds.
A poignant look at psychological oppression. The colour palette turns noticeably desaturated and muddy to reflect the deep misery of the trapped townspeople. The crisp mechanical layouts of the enemy's giant armoured steam train provide an imposing, tech-heavy visual threat that dominates the empty landscapes.
This episode isn't going to change your life. It's a solid, self-contained adventure that follows the show's established formula. Rushuna shows up, the villain is a jerk, she shoots some guns without killing anyone, and she teaches the town to smile again.
