EPISODE REVIEWS
This feels weird... I really enjoyed the episode, but I was hoping to see some update or resolution, too, on Angela's side, especially after what happened. I really liked her, too, so I was worried when the episode didn't show anything after all that. On the other hand, Bowser enjoying the dog park was peak cuteness. That bully of a dog sure got what he deserved, though, after scaring off Bowser, tsk. It's good that we also got to see some progress here, especially with what looked to be the leading ML, but I was looking forward to seeing more about games. I mean, I guess I can give this a pass, but man... I really hope there's more about the game and other subplots in the next ep. Ah, and Sam really looked pretty back there. Not a fan of Link's outfit, but he looked cool anyway.
Wait, Angela's panic attack is going to go completely unnoticed? Didn't anyone want to call an ambulance or something? Wow, so panic attacks only matter when they happen to the protagonist. Okay. No, I'm not going to fall for the propaganda: "Oh, how awful of the girlfriend to go to work instead of being with her sad boyfriend. The protagonist definitely wouldn't have treated him like that." Enough nonsense, I'm on her side. If that's how she makes a living, those commitments are unavoidable. That's how the adult world works. On the other hand, no, being a video game developer doesn't mean you're capable of fixing every game, especially if you didn't make them yourself. The packaging is usually airtight so it can't be easily tampered with. This story had a pretty nasty dip in writing, considering it didn't start off too well. And seriously, ARE THERE NO OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS DAMN CITY? They need to hire extras so they stop running into the same people all the time, soon.
This episode begins with quite emotional atmosphere. Besides that, Marshall's past is quite intriguing. In addition, there is a development in the relationship between Sam and several other characters. Then this episode ends with quite awkward moments.
