EPISODE REVIEWS
The pacing here took a step back and it felt like a deliberate recovery or aftermath episode. I like how they used this episode as a chance for our characters to settle down and let the consequences be processed. It is funny to see how differently the people around Hyoma relate to him.
This episode pace seems a bit slower than the previous episodes. I guess to give a breathing room and tell more about the plot so that the viewers has a bit of understanding of what they will do now. It seems like Hyouma will have a big power-up incoming in the future episodes!
Honestly, the up and down power balance in this show is handled so well without feeling forced. The doorpull reveal makes total sense in hindsight and creates great emotional stakes for Hyouma's progression. Can't wait to see more of the Traditional Bureau of Music either. They seem like great characters.
