Summer Time Rendering

Started out with SO much potential (megumi) but unfortunately didn't deliver

This episode was breathtaking. The pacing was on point, the transition from the chaotic world back to the mundane peace was well deserved. I love how the animation turned vibrant again. This episode was an ultimate payoff for all their hard work. This was a hard earned ending.

This episode was a masterclass! The animation of the final erasure is breathtaking, and it perfectly uses the white space to emphasize loss. The pacing is frantic and made me feel like every second in this episode was heavy and intense.

This was a mind-bending episode. The pacing is on point, it perfectly balances the fast-paced combat with moments of terror that left me shocked. The animation here is breathtaking, especially when watching the confrontation.

This was a breathtaking episode. The pacing here is relentless, the switch-up from the strategy to the chase was awesome. I love how the animation is so fluid here, and even the sounds made me feel like every move is dangerous as it is.

This is it! This is their final desperation. Watching Shinpei "do it or lose it" had him using everything he has for this one. The animation was wonderfully done as it shows their resolve. The pacing was good, it really made me feel the desperation and intensity of this one.

This episode was devastating. I felt like all hope was gone for a moment. The animation of the shadows disintegrating felt a little bit rewarding but it is all for naught as the sudden silence made me feel the loss was really heavy.

This was an intense episode. The shadows were wonderfully animated, their movements were fluid and the sound design perfectly made them feel horrifying. This feels like the light is being snuffed out and I am genuinely hoping for the group to have a happy ending.

This episode was chilling, I like how they perfectly used colors to give out an eerie atmosphere. The pacing kept the tension high without it feeling rushed. And the sound design here made it very tense, it had me on the edge of my seat as the mystery unfolded.

This was such a peak episode! They finally stopped running and started the hunting. The animation here was so crisp and they have such smart tactics against the shadows. Seeing the group synchronize their skills made their teamwork really standout.

The pacing here is so intense seeing the mirror match between the original and the shadow. I love how even amidst the chaos of the festival, I can still feel the horror of the confrontation. This was such a psychological mess because they don't know who to trust.

The shift from their survival onto the offensive was new for me. I like how they paced it from the planning phase onto the execution. Even the sound design really complements the atmosphere, making this episode a high stake mission for the group.

The reveal about Hizuru's brother was chilling. This explains so much about her "other side". I loved how the anime handles the concept of identity, it is so fascinating and creepy at the same time. I even felt a weird sense of pity for the shadows, which I didn't expect.

This episode was a mix of emotions for me. Seeing the group back together felt like a relief, but I can't shake away the heavy feeling of everything they've lost. The pacing here was steady and focused more on the character dynamics rather than pure action.

This episode is just pure chaos. I am overwhelmed by the action here. The animation for the combat was full of energy. And the pacing here was relentless, jumping from one crisis to another. Watching the group get backed into a corner had me at the edge of my seat.

The tension during the dinner was insane. The pacing here felt like a slow-burn horror, I can feel the tension creeping up on me. Seeing the Hishigata family fall apart felt like watching a train wreck. It's creepy how the shadows aren't just monsters, they are smart as well.

The animation handles the low-light environments perfectly, even the way they use the shadows and the silhouettes to create tension was amazing. Creeping through the tunnels made me feel claustrophobic. The atmosphere in this ep was so horrifying and creepy.

This was a new style for me, using the "found footage" style for the phone video was an amazing idea, kudos to the studio. Watching the video on the phone was heartbreaking. I was crying when I saw the real Ushio's final moments.

Seeing Ushio again felt bittersweet but also super confusing. I felt a mix of hope and suspicion about Ushio, can we really trust it? The lighting and the sound design in here was beautiful and peaceful. I hope the atmosphere reflects Ushio's motive.

The fight in the clinic was intense. I was panicking when the shadows started to use human tactics. The pacing here was so intense, it never even gave me a chance to breathe in this episode.
