Divine Tree 3 ~Dimple Is~

Wow this episode was something else compared to what this show has offered us so far! This show is no stranger to amazing action, great animation and emotional moments, but this episode just elevated all these aspects and blew me away!

Mob and Dimple were handled perfectly in this 3-part -story! Despite Dimples goals and actions, you can never hate him! The conflict is resolved PERFECTLY!! Just like the season 2 finale it stays faithfull to the characters growth and development!

This episode makes it clear that we are in the final season and you can see and feel studio Bones passion for this show!

NO wonder Divine tree was released in theaters in Japan!

This episode really flexes its muscles both in terms of story and animation.

From a technical standpoint, some sequences made by Yutaka Nakamura in this episode are simply amazing, truly elevating the story to a different level.

From a plot and execution, this episode is just a carousel of emotion. With the episode 4 and 5, this concludes a an incredibly emotional, thoughtful and ultimately amazing journey.

I'm honestly surprised by how this show manages to shift its tone in a matter of minute, truly putting you at the edge of your seat multiple time.

In terms of quality of the sequences presented, this probably still doesn't beat the Mogami fight from season 2, but the stakes added on top of it probably makes it the most invested conflict I've seen so far in the show.
