EPISODE REVIEWS

It just don't stop delivering! SPICY! The animation was great as always.

Didnt expect to see that at the end. The story turned dark real quick. Went from making lightbulbs and basic electricity stuff to the end goal making cyborg.

I was so moved when the mistress finally heard her husband and it made me tear up because I lost someone too but then that basement scene at the end totally ruined my peace of mind

You have to wonder if faking a dead mans voice is actually helping or if its just a cruel trick to play on a grieving woman who just needs real support and not some fake machine

The way Inako stood her ground against Yosuke was so brave and you can tell she really cares about keeping those old traditions alive even when everything else is changing around her

Those sparks in their eyes when Kihachi finally figured out the carbon resistance trick looked incredible and the animation style for the Kyoto sunset was such a treat to watch

It looks like death and clinging to the past permeates this story about making the future possible. Inako is precious and today was her episode. Her and the proprietress' story was very emotional and relatable. Finally we get to see why Yosuke is so obsessed with the manual and we see how similar he is to Inako clinging to the past.

I liked the story flow in this episode, and things are just getting more interesting. But that ending really gave me chills. The whole vibe of this episode was emotional, and then that cliffhanger gave me so much to think about, leaving me staring at the wall, lol.

Really, really loved this episode! I loved the mix of drama and comedy. It never felt boring for a second. And the animation? Such a feast for the eyes, as always.

This was such an emotional episode. I loved the storyline in this one and Inako's little backstory about her mom. Also, dang, I know Yosuke is crazy, but I didn't expect him to be THAT crazy, lmao.

Di episode ini, Kihachi terus menciptakan berbagai alat berdasarkan catatan kakaknya. Meski alur ceritanya terasa cukup klise dan episodik, episode ini berhasil menggali lebih dalam tentang sosok ibu Inako. Sayangnya, Mizoe justru terasa semakin creepy dan sulit disukai. Untungnya, Inako kembali menjadi karakter terbaik dan membuat anime ini secara keseluruhan menarik.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Episode 3 pushed Kihachi and Inako toward renewed purpose and a clearer sense of the challenge ahead with Yosuke, building on the discovery of Seiroku's catalog. Episode 4 uses that momentum as a foundation but steps back from the larger rivalry to explore what invention actually means on a personal, human scale. This smaller-scale detour deepens both Inako's character and the emotional stakes that will carry the season forward.
