Succeeding the Past

Tl;dr: I'm easily impressed, animation is amazing, fight choreography is amazing, can't wait for the next episode

To me this was a ten out of ten episode. Though I can't say that i'm am difficult to convince if i'm being honest.

First of all, major props to CloverWorks for giving us these amazingly choreographed fight scenes. Also the choice of soundtracks during these fights has been nothing but incredible.

Seeing Togame and Sakura just enjoy their fight together after Togame resolving his own problems was very cool to see. I was afraid it was going to be a draw at first, but I was glad that Satoru Nii chose to make Togame lose by choice.

Kicking off the fight between Tomiyama and Umemiya right before the end makes that I can't wait for the next episode even more! Also their battle OST really gives off this 'boss fight' type of vibe, which is really cool. And you can say what you want about Tomiyama but he sure can fight.

I'm curious to see if Umemiya is going to be able to get through to Tomiyama and if we'll learn more about his past too.
