Force without wisdom falls of its own weight

Wow! That was a straight-up intense 23 minutes I've seen. First, let me praise the animators for that amazing animation. I thought it was motion-capture, honestly. It was that smooth! Then, Kiyotaka's carnage, not literally. I mean, the whole episode had an eerie mood. And I absolutely loved it. Ryen's VA was amazing and portrayed "the fear" perfectly. This was indeed a one-sided fight. Absolute heroism from Kiyotaka. And ngl, Shouya Chiba's "Don't panic", didn't see that coming, lol, but loved it.

I only recently watched CoTE and it was only mainly because of it's popularity not because of the ratings or anything. It doesn't even have an 8+ rating to consider it even great. But the fanbase was strong. Whenever I see YouTube comments CoTE based or anime based videos. They always mentions a "rooftop" scene from the LN. The fans never given up on this series. That hyped me up too. And I'm not even slightly disappointed by this episode. It was one of the best I've seen this year. I can only imagine the aftermath of this episode on the finale.

9.5/10.
