EPISODE REVIEWS

A great way to start an episode, adding more tension and mystery. The sound design is great for each scene. The animation is a bit stiff, and the lighting is too bright for outdoor scenes. The story is getting complicated as it goes, which adds more tension and mystery.

This episode really leans on the soundtrack and honestly that's where this anime shows its true art. Something happens to the MC that changes the whole mood, and the vibe this episode just says it all

I can literally feel the tension building in the air in this episode. If we can consider ourselves at Keiichi’s shoes, we can recognize the real horror that he was feeling. The old animation only fuels the tension that the slow pace and narrative is building on.
