EPISODE REVIEWS
Episode 7 is what Black Summoner should have been from the start. It's still a power fantasy, and Kelvin is still a battle junkie with a blank personality, but the episode gives him something interesting to do with the Skill Eater and lets the heroes be actual characters instead of just obstacles. The fight is fun, the pacing is tight, and there's even a little emotional weight.If you dropped this show early because the first few episodes were boring, this is the episode that might bring you back. It's not a masterpiece, but it's genuinely entertaining.
The battle of Kelvin against the heroes are good but I think it lacks intensity. Maybe it is due to Kelvin's goal for them which is also good.
Really enjoyed how episode 7 recontextualises Kelvin within the broader landscape of this world. He's not the only one who was brought here and that collision of circumstances makes for a compelling conflict. The battle is peak season material and the tension feels genuinely earned.
