EPISODE REVIEWS
I totally feel for Ruri ahahah research is grueling enough, but an evidence-based thing like that is too much. I'd probably cry myself to sleep while still showing up to do the work XD. That said, it's pretty interesting, especially since I was a STEM student back in the day. It was a waste that we couldn't do simple experiments related to these... How high school life would have been so much more fun, dang it.Even so, the work in this episode tells us that nature itself took time to make these minerals. It'd probably be unfair and less fulfilling to discover them halfheartedly without fully understanding things, including the right processes. Still, it sure reminds me of the cruel days of doing experiments and defending them for panels...ugh.
It is an interesting episode that teaches us that patience is paramount when studying mineralogy and that taking shortcuts leads us away from the main goal; however, if things are done with dedication and effort, excellent results can be achieved little by little.
The story shifts toward studying sand. It is a slower episode. The visuals make ordinary landscapes look beautiful.
