Review by mikkiparker

The strategic and gradual completion of the episode proved to be a big plus. Nanami stayed true to himself and his character even in his final moments - he prioritized finishing the job over seeking help. Big kudos to the creators for successfully building the viewer's emotional response. Yuji's restrained emotional reaction to Nanami's death is admirable; he retains Nanami's faith in him as his motivation. Even Mahito's manipulative use of Junpei doesn't shake his focus. Overall, the episode depicted mostly on Mahito's abilities and a demonstration of what he is capable of. There are flaws in my opinion (especially in the animation and some scenes, but what can we do when that's purely MAPPA's fault and not the animators').
