EPISODE REVIEWS
I wasn’t expecting this one to hit as hard as it did. The emotional moments felt natural, and I liked that the episode didn’t drag them out too much. It felt like a lot of things were finally coming together after all the buildup. Worth watching if you’ve made it this far and want to see how the story continues from here.
Everything is too convenient to build any sort of tension during the battle, failing to keep any engagement with the viewer. The characters also go back and forth between ship and planet aimlessly until the plot needs them to be active.
The heroes are marching to their death. Nazca's argument to sacrifice himself is actually terrifyingly logical how could he ever live in peace on LaMetal when all his friends died fighting Promethium, Only if he defeats her. The whole thing feels like a Greek tragedy where you know the ending but can't look away.
