It's out of the frying pan and in to the fire. Illumgand has been defeated but the situation outside is even worse. It would have been better if the situation outside of Rotsgard had been shown to emphasize the intensity of the situation rather than having the characters talk about it. P.S. The cat demihuman(Bowl) was supposed to show on an earlier episode if the studio didn't skip the story, Makoto's interaction with him was funny and relatable
