EPISODE REVIEWS

Things got more serious here, and I liked how the episode handled the heavier parts without making them feel too much. The character moments were some of the best so far, and I also noticed the animation looked better. It felt like an episode that really moved things forward. Worth watching for the strong character moments and the better animation.

Ok, my gripe against last episode was kind of answered with a proper alliance of Maetel and Emeraldas. Still, it's not good enough. The plot just puts things in for convenience without any care for the already poor worldbuilding and character development. It's unfortunately very much a product of it's time. Also, I felt like the animation dipped in quality too.

This episode is intense. Sisters faking a fight to take down their own mother. That's some heavy family drama.The surface of Rametal breaking apart just adds to the chaos. And Nazca watching from the ship, not being able to do anything, Pain.
