EPISODE REVIEWS
This was deeply frustrating to watch. The Setsuko plot completely fell apart, and Joe's storyline took a depressing turn once again. Unfortunately, this man seems unable to escape sexual violence, and it is very upsetting. Not enjoyable, but definitely not skippable plot-wise.
The episode gave each character their own moments while showing them trying to figure out what comes next. It had a good mix of emotional scenes and light moments, and I liked how it focused on the characters instead of rushing through everything. Some of the choices they made added more depth to their journeys. It keeps the story moving while making you more invested in where these characters go next.
Mario's choice felt realistic, even if it was heartbreaking. I can't blame him. I mean it would've been insanely cheesy if he just shows up and kidnaps her. Baremoto's scenes were hilarious, though. I trusted Mickey at first, but that ending changed everything.
