I have been blown away by every episode of this season, but this has been the best one so far, possibly of the entire series. There was been much buildup to this battle with Thordak, so much loss to get to this point. Vox Machina has gone through trials and tribulations to get to this point and it certainly did not disappoint. Every character is at the top of their game (aside from Grog, whose arc in The Killbox was fantastic). Seeing everyone band together in one last stand against the Cinder King was a blast and the emotions were palpable. It's crazy to me that there are three episodes left in the season, but with what happens at the end of this episode, it does make sense. I cannot wait to see what comes next, as well as the Mighty Nein series that will hopefully release soon.

This arc is going to be one wild ride. The first episode blew me away with its stunning animation, amazing soundtrack, and great sound effects. The art style and animation of this episode cannot be commended enough. So much effort went into adapting this arc, and it shows. 3-D animation is being used now for Hollows, which worked, the 3-D was well executed. Voice acting from everyone was top notch, no surprises there. The new group of villains and their leader already feel like such a threat. They're mysterious and menacing. Ichigo is back and I now realize just how much I missed him. I can't wait for the next episode.
