EPISODE REVIEWS

The episode starts off pretty wholesome. We finally see Harima - I mean, Inugami now, happy and living out his life as leader of a village. He also protects a sacred shrine near his village from being taken down for development purposes. This is the main focal point of the story, where wants to safeguard it from the Imperial Court. However, they were getting impatient with Inugami, which leads to some pretty violent confrontations in this episode. While I liked the episode, it didn't really wowed me or surprised me like the last episodes have. Hopefully the next episodes will make up for it.

A fantastic second part that directly builds upon the previous episode with immense emotional depth! Keeping the narrative tightly focused on Harima and Obaba gave the journey a poignant core before the situation escalated into sheer danger. Witnessing the awe-inspiring presence and mystical power of the Phoenix once again was an absolute highlight. The storyline is becoming increasingly engaging, proving that each episode is outdoing the last!

Unfortunately I’m just not feeling this story as much as the previous ones. I do think it’s a good premise, I’m just not really that interested in stories that are mostly about politics and war.
