EPISODE REVIEWS

Oppressive prison graphics feel cold. The "message" kiss between Ash and Eiji is the peak moment. i feels their bond deepening.

UP: The prison tension is PALPABLE. Max and Ash's dynamic starts strong. The kiss scene? ICONIC and strategic. DOWN: The prison violence is ROUGH. MAPPA doesn't shy away from the horrors Ash faces, and it's uncomfortable but necessary. 💊

The previous episode already push the audience into the cold reality that these characters aren't just living but actively trying to survive, and if that episode wasn't enough then this episode would. Seeing what happened to Ash in the prison was heartwrenching.
