I like the way the characters all clash and come together, but somehow it also feels like it's a bit forced? Could be a bit of a pacing issue here, but for now it does lay a good foundation on how Tanikaze will interact with them and how each characters' choices will influence the plot. The latter half of the episode is yet again intense, and I'm really glad they went for a 3D approach because it's really making the fights look good!
