Episode 23

Everyone's Reactions

I bet a lot of viewers are screaming internally, "We're done with the stalking already!" The suspicious developments make us feel like, "Yeah, this will definitely happen again." The reaction to "this room is scary" really hit home; the unease comes through just from the atmosphere. Even though it's playing with themes of emotion and logic, things like Inaba wanting to eat pork hot pot or Hana-chan being a beat behind on her tsukkomi give it that lightness typical of Yom no Tsugai. I feel like the Lord is hearing our cheers to "hang in there and don't lose!" It was a bit surprising to see him sympathizing with Umma, though; I wonder if the mood around him is starting to shift? New characters like Mirai, Nagesi, Yamashina, and Ono Minase have been added, and knowing that Takaya Kuroda and Yoko Soumi are involved has me already excited. I can't take my eyes off what's coming next!
