EPISODE REVIEWS

⚠️ A bit of a warning for the people who has motion sickness or cybersickness, the first half of the episode shows an amateur film that has a pretty shaky camera handling. Don't watch it at full screen or just skip to 13:08 if you can't handle it. This time it's the classic locked room mystery, a staple of the mystery genre. The one thing that had me curious was the text before the ED, why indeed didn't "she" asked Eba(the bestfriend of Hongou) 🤔

What I really like about this episode is how realistic it feels. I especially appreciate the details showing how amateurish the work of the amateurs looks. That aside, this episode seems more like a build-up for the next one, with no major developments yet in sight.

This ep is mysterious and slow with a start of a new arc. Unusual resolving of the mystery from each point of view of the characters in watching an amateur film. The tone was kind of suspenseful and serious. The camera angles were quite laggy and the casts' acting were funny.
