Episode 4

Everyone's Reactions

Mikoto-san is absolutely amazing at weaving her charm and convincing those two innocent girls that "torture is actually more humane." It’s so impressive it gives you chills. The action scene where a drone knife rolls out from Fremea's grenade flows really well, and you can tell the animators who worked on the key frames put in great effort. I love how, despite being about Item, it feels so wholesome and slice-of-life that it almost belongs in a Kiraara slot. Maybe I’m just enjoying it like a spy movie, forgetting all about Academy City. But after seeing the comment "are seven too many?", I started to wonder if they’re actually managing to torture them properly. Next episode is about "infiltration," so I'm excited to see how the story unfolds!
