「 The Review 」
Synopsis
While continuing their search, Golem and Somali have unexpectedly reunited with their friends: Shizuno and Yabashira.
Story
As much as this episode was filled with cute bonding moments, I think it wasn't a good follow up from the last two, which have built great momentum for a series that's coming to a close.
I had really high hopes for this, and for them to just give us a cooking show and a toothache scenario at this point of the anime, was for me, an insult.
Characters
Sowak was the only interesting new character in this episode. Who would have thought a rodent-like him will be suitable as a dentist?
Writing / Storyboarding
Everything that happened in this episode can be edited to just ten minutes (or even less). The remaining time could have been allotted to a more interesting plot. But, sadly, they did not.
Artwork / Animation
None of the artwork in this episode was striking enough for me...
Music / Sound
The soothing background with angelic vocals at the beginning was really calming (but not enough to calm my frustration on this poor episode).
