One of the best anime episodes i have seen.

It has so many layers, good animation, pacing, suspense, and it keeps up with manga but also introduces new things.

What surprised me the most and what made me give 10/10 is they introduced which can just be described as phase two or phased combat against much stronger opponents i have seen in both single player and online gaming, and they have not only added that, but the perfect music as a background as well and implemented it into the fight in the best possible way.

The scenes are breathtaking and every second has so much information.

It has left me with tears in my eyes, and i am both pleasantly surprised and proud of being alive to see such masterpiece.

Thank you.

Can it get even better?

For the previous episode, i wrote a review in which i pointed out how quickly it ended. This one surpassed that - there's no way it was just 20 minutes! I want more!

I'm not familiar with the Manhwa, but I think everyone will be satisfied with the adaptation, as this episode reaches a climax of the anime, delivering high quality animation, fighting and music/sfx.

The fight between Jinwoo and The Ant King was flawless - simply amazing!

And once again, I have to mention how valuable the colors were in this episode. Jinwoo and The Ant King, Blue and Red - a perfect interplay of colors, wonderfully choreographed. All the frames that were seen during the fight were the greatest Highlight of the episode - remarkable work, truly beautiful.

I was surprised that this episode is even better than the previous one, which had already fully convinced me.

For a full 20 minutes, this episode doesn't let you go.

The sheer brilliance of this episode transcends the boundaries of conventional animation, elevating it into a masterful spectacle that seamlessly blends dynamic cinematography, breathtaking animation, and an evocative original soundtrack. Every frame exudes a level of craftsmanship that not only does justice to the manhwa and novel but also surpasses all expectations, breathing life into what was once a static medium. The sheer fluidity of movement, the meticulous attention to detail in long shots, and the visceral intensity of each fight sequence amplify the weight of Jinwoo's struggle, painting his descent into chaos with unparalleled depth. Fear itself became a tangible force, creeping through the screen, culminating in the ultimate moment of catharsis when Beru-once a terrifying entity-was reduced to sheer desperation, fleeing in abject terror. If there were ever a contender for Anime of the Year or Best Fight Animation, this episode has firmly secured its place at the top. With production values reaching unprecedented heights, a flawless 10/10 rating feels almost insufficient to encapsulate its brilliance. One can only hope that future seasons will see an even greater investment from Crunchyroll, ensuring that this masterpiece cements its legacy as one of the greatest new-generation anime to ever grace the medium.

The most anticipated episode of this season, and after watching it, A-1 definitely understood the assignment. This episode was phenomenal, in my opinion, probably the best fight in the entire series so far, and it makes me really excited to see what's to come from this series and A-1 Studio. A masterclass in animation with some very big-hitter animators such as Yoshihiro Kanno, combined with the angelic and eerie Hiroyuki Sawano OST and score, this episode was perfection; everything you could have wanted from an adaptation frankly elevated the source material in a big way. I was extremely satisfied with the episode, and I hope we get the same level of consistency as we have had in season 2.
