hoo boy. coming off paradox spiral this chapter is complete tonal whiplash. azaka kokutou, a minor character who appears in all of 3 scenes in the previous 5 chapters, takes center stage this time and right off the bat we learn that her needless cruelty towards shiki in her previous appearances is because ~incest reasons~. azaka is an infuriatingly bad character while shiki is largely relegated to the background but at least she gets like one cool scene. from what ive gathered the adaptation of this chapter deviates a bit from the light novel but i don't think the original was much better, it's purpose ... was a moment of levity after the much heavier paradox spiral which is fine but not entirely necessary. even if you remove the incest shit from the equation oblivion recording's biggest crime is that it's boring and very little happens to advance the overarching plot (seriously, the most important part of this chapter is the post-credits scene). ufotable and yuki kaijura kill it in the animation and music department as usual so it's not entirely irredeemable. highlight of this chapter was azaka slamming the back of her head into the edge of a stone fountain which got a gut laugh out of me. figures id have the most to say about the weakest entry.
dont do drugs kids!!!
