「 A quote from this episode 」
"How could someone be so cruel just because we were different species?"
「 The Review 」SynopsisGolem fell in the trap of Aunt Rosa, thus putting Somali's life at risk.
StoryIn my last review, I said I didn't have many expectations for the last two episodes, and I'm sure glad I didn't. Why? Because this was such a great episode, and by having low expectations, it made my watching experience even better.
And because of that, I now have such a high expectation for the finale (lol). Well, I hope I won't be disappointed, because the ending where Golem transformed into something eerie, was a great cliffhanger.
CharactersGolem's character development has improved again. It was very heartfelt when he said he was grateful to Somali after she gave him a gift.
And salute to Yabashira for siding with Somali.
Writing / StoryboardingI wonder if there was a change in the writer for this episode because this was more well-thought-out compared to the previous episodes.
There was a comedy, action, drama, and even musical.
I gotta say, Aunt Rosa's character can really trick you. Whoever came up with her design, did a fine job. And of course, Golem's Berserker mode (if I can call it that) -- really awesome design.
Music / SoundNothing special again, unfortunately. I hope they feature an insert-song in the finale.
