EPISODE REVIEWS
This episode gives us a little bit of background of one of our characters but in my opinion, it doesnt contribute, you can easily skip it and wont miss a lot
We continued from the previous episode and found something surprising as our group travelled along the water. I really like the ambience of the place, the blue shade really made it seemed foreign compared to when our characters are in town. And the character we met also gives the same mysterious vibe. The world building really was flexed here as we get to know more about the people inside, from how they got there to how the economy work. And we also get a nice background for Rikkichi, which makes him more understandable, especially his resolve and reaction.
This episode have some amazing animation. It good that it shows different environment. It sad to see that at the end of the day, you gotta live in what possible way it could be, even if it is against to your philosophy and values in life. I enjoy this ep, it shows the full picture of what reality this characters are living.
