| The animation and overall art quality was not very good this episode and this being a Yokohama Labs product, I expect the crash and burn. The episode was quite brutal. I figured out it was his wife, but not until right before the reveal, so it still had a nice impact. They really cranked up the edge in this one, though I'm not complaining. I enjoy some brutality as long as the series is entertaining. I kind of wish they explained or showed more about how his wife became a demon. She seemed the least likely kind of character to become a demon simply due to a violent death, tbh. Even as she was sinking in the river, she was just thinking of her husband and wanting to see him again. She didn't even think about what had just happened to her. I guess that is enough to become a demon in this world? Maybe they will dive deeper into the details of how that works later. The one rapist at the end did comment on how she fought hard and screamed out for her husband the entire time. So, that would probably explain it. Her desperation to see him during the brutality, paired with her pre-established acceptance of demonkind, leading to her becoming a demon after death. The scene when it showed her end didn't convey any of that though. It was more of a, "she died violently and is now a demon, I guess," type of situation. I know they didn't want to actually show too much of that scene, which is good, but it feels like they did a poor job of conveying an emotional state extreme enough for a good person to become a demon after death. Unless just everyone does in this story, idk. The very end was bittersweet. The MC is kind of just a straight up murderer now since those two were technically human. Not that they didn't deserve it, of course. I wonder if his demon side is going to become a struggle to contain as he moves forward. This incident could be another point you could highlight as contributing to that. Of course, the events of his childhood and sister debacle being the main driving force. Overall I enjoyed the episode even though I had more problems with this one than any of the previous episodes. Excited to see where this story goes and keeping my fingers crossed that Yokohama Labs doesn't completely drop the ball again, like they always seem to do. |
