Potential to be greater
Episode 3 was absolutely amazing, the animation quality is still the same, the atmosphere of the donghua is still as mysterious as in the first 2 episodes. Most importantly the pacing slowed down a lot from the first 2 episodes and I hope this doesn't change too much in the future.
This is pretty much a guarantee as the studio in charge of the adaption had a deal with Tencent where they had to include the clown right within the first three episodes hence why the first two episodes had really fast pacing. Meaning that all future episodes from now on will likely have better pacing.
So all in all if this keeps up then not only anime of the year, Lotm might very well become anime of the decade.
