EPISODE REVIEWS

Episode 2 really sold me on Nagi. Watching him take Hyouma on a mission and slowly challenge his views was surprisingly engaging. Botan's blunt deadline was hilarious, and Suzuri's playful attitude already feels like it'll create plenty of fun moments.

What I usually look for early in a series is the characters' lore, goals, motivations, overall vibes, and whether the plot is worth following through. This one already passed my taste. The action at this moment is relatively soft, but it gives an impression that there's much to show later on. I'm taking note that their very first scene is a warning glimpse.

In this second episode, we delve deeper into the dynamic between the Tsukumogami and Hyoma, beginning to see their relationship and pre-existing concepts. This episode features a fast pace, action peaks, a well-developed plot, and canon within the story.
