Episode 4

Everyone's Reactions

You really want to yell "I'm not a cat!" at this high-performance, general-purpose assist module. Seeing them insist on it while still being treated like one just makes them so incredibly endearing. The move names are nicely systematized, from Gravity Control to Gravity Cyclone, and when the catchphrase "I shall protect the order of the universe..." hits, it gets you hyped up in an instant. Episode 4's title was "Sister and Brother," but when they declare "I will definitely protect Akira!" you can feel that mix of wanting to protect and wanting to be protected, which is a bit bittersweet. On the other hand, Alan sneezing and sending food flying while completely messing up their formation is such a great spot for a reaction. It’s perfect having that kind of humor woven into the serious moments. The comment calling it "God-tier animation" really stuck with me. The action scenes' artwork is seriously amazing, so I definitely need to watch next week's episode.
