Episode 4

Everyone's Reactions

The mayor has been hailed as this season's top saintly character, and seeing her watch over the others' growth with such a motherly gaze really makes you realize how genuinely kind the older folks in this series are. There’s a string of scenes where characters get completely blown away or leave you going 'what is this?', which has the live-tweeting crowd laughing their heads off while original manga fans, being picky about the animation quality, feel a bit guilty for enjoying it so much. That difference in vibe is just heartwarming. Even small details, like how the rocks crack, are praised as something you don’t see often in Reiwa-era anime, and it’s clear they care about those little touches, making you smile just watching. We’ve only been at this for three days, but someone mentioned that if it goes on like Tianhe, two months will pass in no time. It’s fascinating to think about how the same amount of time can feel so different depending on the story. With 'The Beginning' lined up everywhere, I’m wondering if we’ll keep seeing this phrase repeated, and now I’m curious about next week’s 'Strong Enemy'—might not sleep well tonight!
