Pretend Like It's the First Time

This episode makes me ask my self I'm with who , who is the villain and who is the hero.

A lot of things comes more easily to understand but those things creat an another questions I was before this episode with Victor because he want peace for other people and create a place for that.

Place that you can happy without hate and everyone love each other, he didn't want to fight at that time.

But Jayce Talis I don't know why did he killed him for what , for what he saw for his scars I don't know but at that time I was supporting vickor but ,now after episode 7 I don't know, and what victor want.

I don't know I'm with who.

This episode is simply beautiful, the art direction, the plot, the argument that is used to develop the main character of the chapter, I love the role that the music has and the weight that is given when developing and expressing the moments both physical and psychological. Regarding the characters, the ending is extremely tragic and moving, leaving a message capable of creating catharsis in the viewer using the premise of "the story of something that could have been." The animation at no time presents a decadence, and on the contrary is used to better express what is being seen on the screen, telling a melancholic but moving message.

Won't even kid this might be the best episode of television I've ever seen. I'm no snob and I probably haven't watched enough for that claim to have any actual weight but for real this episode is perfectly executed and beautiful. No matter who you are, you have to acknowledge that love is at the very core of everything we are as human beings, and this episode is the pure embodiment of that concept to me. Every single aspect brings together this heartwarming and heartbreaking story of a love that never was. The music is some of the best to come out of this show, and the animation is gorgeous as usual, but certain painted backgrounds and stylized sections of animation are especially worthy of praise here. Even though I agree with some folks that the episodes after this had a few fails, I seriously think that the experience this single episode gives a viewer is, on its own, enough of a reason for the entire show to exist.

God damn, I cant take and more of these heartbreaking and emotional rides, that are designed to try and breake me apart in every possible way!

This episode was yet another masterpiece that felt line qn amazing and well thought out way to continue from the previous episode! A lot of the things that felt more vague, are elaborated even more with this episode!

This episode made me realize just how cruel this world is! Seeing an alternate version of how everything could have been, litterally broke me into a thousand pieces! This was art, emotions and feelings conveyed in such a beautifull way! Never have a seen something so beautifull before!

Within just a single episode, Ekko become one of the best written characters in the show! He solidefied himself as The Boy Savior, and put everyone before himself! His journey was both heartwarming and heartbreaking, as he realized he had to leave something wonderfull behind, to protect those he cares about! That scene with him and Powder... absolutely beautifull!

The finale act does not hold back!

The show starts taking a turn to high conceptuality from here. The animations deliver the high concept so well that those abstract places could only be described through those animations and my words falter to deliver the job. However I promise you thst this episode has a huge surprise for you. This episode focuses very strongly on the characters. I could never ever EVER have possibly imagined that the show would go that far in that direction but it did and it delivered it so well that i think anyone who watched it would've had tears in their eyes or at least had eyes precipitation. The use of music and animation style work synergistically to do the job. Arguably the best episode of the show 10/10.
