    Beautifully adapted

    This episode was so beautiful yet heartbreaking, the colouring done especially near the end of the episode was amazing and so were the parallels. It managed to encapsulate the horror aspects of this episode so well, I highly recommend it! And once again the voice acting is top tier and it does the manga so well. Can't wait for next week.

    my review

    They slayed the mother tree and bounced off every diva branch on the way down , this anime is a hit and will be shown in the servington museum in 20 years.

    I can't wait for the next couple of episodes i need 10 seasons, 6 movies and 3 spin offs of this because it's amazing and everyone should watch it.

    This episode marks a turning point in the story for me.

    We finally begin to form a real attachment to the creature inside Hikaru's body - not as a monster, but as something we can understand and even care for. The main character also starts to move beyond the idea of it being just a monster.

    We begin to realize that sometimes, even when something is different - even strange or frightening - it deserves to be accepted and loved.

    What makes this episode truly brilliant, in my opinion, is that it seems to bring the first arc of the season to a close: the emotional and psychological development of the characters, especially Hikaru. From here, the story can move forward with a much deeper connection between the viewer and the cast.
