The episode feels like filler, which is weird for a 12 episode original anime to have, what they wanted to do is interesting and so is the kaiju's ability, but they failed the execution of the idea. Seeing that the Neon Genesis students can combine with each other (without needing Gridman) is also something nice to see, not everything must be solved by the protagonist after all.
I think this episode was kind of weird and unnecessary. It does show some of Akane's perspective and feelings but it was too much for a whole episode, they could've explain this lore in half episode. I got bored half of it.
This episode felt like it came out of left field. Very jarring with how everything ended last episode. Thought it would pick up from where we left off. By no means was it a bad episode, I truly feel for Akane, she is such a sympathetic villain I find myself rooting for her happy ending. I don’t mind how Akane is portrayed, just wouldn’t mind if she went the villainess route, her physical abilities are something else. The premise was well executed, the Kaiju was quite unique. Great episode, just felt out of place.
