EPISODE REVIEWS
This episode serves as the introduction to a new arc and directly continues from the final scene of the previous episode. As always, I really enjoy the character dynamics and dialogue in this anime. The premise of this arc is quite interesting, and I like how the story presents and develops it.
The mystery finally starts tightening its grip. This episode shifts away from the previous arc and leans hard into the unsettling side of the series, mixing everyday college life with strange coincidences that feel a little too connected. The atmosphere is fantastic and the intrigue level shoots way up.
It's getting really interesting. It's not just Kirishima Touko, but the long teased Ikumi Akagi has something to do with it as well. It was already hinted at at the beginning, but I wasn't expecting this much of a correlation. The ending in particular about the posts and hastags left a lot of clues to piece together. I think it's finally starting to make sense and it's even more intriguing now.
