Again, it starts from the first. I like the director’s take on how he uses the narrative to tie the story differently each time with the same set of characters. There is a nice link to all these chapters. The pace, though slow, builds up with the flow and animation.

I get it now. This anime has a lot of story versions that are not connected to the previous one. But this episode has a bit of character building on Keiichi's side, which is fun to watch. This episode is a bit funny. The mystery is also starting in this episode.

This episode opens up a new arc, pretty different from before. It starts with the MC doing some outdoor activities and the whole atmosphere feels really bright. But the plot is slowly being built up underneath it all, and the soundtrack still somehow gives you goosebumps
