I um, I. Huh. I'm just sort of speechless. Well, not really, but it's more like information overload. So many pieces, so much stuff in terms of direction, in terms of animation, in terms of flow. Just so... much. Anime of The Year. The crowning achievement of Cloverworks as a studio. The pinnacle of creativity in modern media. Is there really anything else you can say about what it does?

out route, the photorealistic backgrounds that are borrowed from real life places. The pacing of their walking, the disappearance behind the trees while they talk, the wideness and distance of the environments that's countered by the super up close shots. There's just *so* much. The claymation, the classic 4:3 anime, the references to previous gags and bits within Bocchi's room. The anime additions to add flow to Cloverwork's creativity, the countless visual styles and approaches. I feel like I could just go on forever with this series, and especially this episode, which is the best yet. Just an absolutely incredible anime, whose staff and creators deserve the world for their incredible efforts.
