EPISODE REVIEWS

The start was really nice, with Ryunosuke getting closer to Kosuzu and even buying a souvenir for her. Then Serizawa just had to ruin the rest of the episode, bruh. Still, the little bit of action at the end was a nice touch.

Emotional character growth anchored by a beautiful, expansive outdoor landscape. The visual direction utilizes stunning wide shots of Kyoto's famous wooden bridges and green river banks. The peaceful, natural afternoon sunlight offers a comforting but temporary escape from the violent, bloody reality of their military duties.

Serizawa knows where to hit the nerve like wth and the first scene got me the irck and the disrespect I felt from that T_T. I think this is going to be a repeating cycle because the flow is just the same as the last eps, just my opinion. Though there’s an improvement in the fury but the action was so short.
