Episode 8 is the first time Death March feels like it's having fun with its premise instead of just coasting on it. The self-aware video game humor works, the homunculi are genuinely funny, and the Undead King is a more interesting antagonist than anything the show has introduced so far. The animation is still weak, and the dungeon is resolved too quickly, but this is a clear step up from the previous episodes.
Este episodio logró engancharme nuevamente. La aparición de un nuevo enemigo le dio más vida a la historia y hubo algunos momentos que disfruté bastante. La música sigue siendo de mis cosas favoritas y el final me dejo con ganas de seguir viendo.

This moment definitely felt reminiscent of SAO when Kirito went to rescue Asuna, though thankfully, the enemy here isn't nearly as infuriating as the one in SAO was. That said, I'm still puzzled by the undead's ultimate goal. Is he a true antagonist, or is he just putting them through a trial to force them to grow stronger?
