EPISODE REVIEWS
It was nice seeing this episode set the pieces in motion and allows some cast for some screen time. The pacing here was slow though. We also had a solid action scene, it is surprisingly well animated compared to the previous episode's fighting scenes. The writing is good though, it introduces more about the world like the supernatural politics, and the groups that are involved.
The battle scenes in this episode is good. I like how determined Hyouma is in protecting Botan. The pace of the story also seems to move smoothly as well. Let see what will happen in the next episode
Honestly, I don't even like romance that much but the way Hyouma and Botan’s relationship develops is so well done. It’s a organic partnership built on mutual inspiration and support. It never feels like self insert wish fulfillment either. I think it actually feeds into the bigger themes of the show. Just incredibly solid writing.
