EPISODE REVIEWS

A strong episode. Studio Pierrot focuses on key lore mysteries while keeping a constant sense of suspense, making it feel like something bad is coming. Despite no action, the pacing stays engaging, especially if you enjoy character backstories.

A majority of this episode was slow in pacing and developments in the main plot. It allows the audience to sit with the developments of the previous ones. But the stagnant feeling kills the ominous & mysterious vibe that's been built up.

For a while, watching the main cast all gathered in Anteiku again, and the scenes with the snow felt hopeful and made me remember season 1's situation. If anything, all the major characters right now don't have clarified motivations or character studies despite the intense events
