EPISODE REVIEWS
The transition into high-stakes story arc is handled amazingly. Tenchi, Ayeka, and Ryoko exploring the resting place of legendary guardians brings massive mythos to the show. Pacing is amazing in this episode.
Wow, there's a plot twist that's finally revealed in this episode. Up until this point, I felt that the plot of this anime was strong from the start, even though it was interspersed with various comedic scenes until the middle of the anime. But I just realized that the tone of the story slowly turned serious in the episodes leading up to the climax. It turns out the storytelling is quite unique.
The episode draws you into a tense atmosphere, setting aside the comedy and action to move toward the climax of the conflict in the anime. I think this shows a fairly well-executed plot development and motivates you to keep watching to find out how it ends.
