EPISODE REVIEWS

It was an exciting episode. As the competition progresses we got to see famous players and their performances. It was great to see Konomi performing well. I felt sorry for Nonoka in the competition as as she is a good climber.

episode explores the clash between natural ability and dedication with an emotional, competitive tone. Pacing feels balanced and engaging, animation keeps the climbs intense and the music adds motivation. Expect rivalry, self-reflection and personal growth

This episode is heavy, but it's also the show at its best. Nonoka's failure isn't played for cheap drama it's genuinely painful. Her body type is a real disadvantage in a sport that favors reach, and the show doesn't pretend otherwise. Iwamine gliding past her with that effortless climb is a punch to the gut.The climbing direction is solid the spinning camera shots and varied points of view give you the feeling of being on the wall . And the introduction of so many rivals makes the competition feel like a real event, not just a backdrop.
