I don't know just how much more mediocre we can get before I get bored. I'll probably still end up finishing this season because why not, but I don't think taking essentially a whole episode just to talk about Psyren is going to make your audience more invested. Sure, we started off with a fight sequences, then managed to pass the first stage or whatever it's called, then spent the rest of the time following our characters being confused about everything. I mean, it feels a little silly to take us out of the "game" (still no rules, by the way) to give the characters time to prepare for the next round because we go from intense survival to calm discussions. I also don't like the addition/inclusion of Psi as a concept; it cheapens everything a lot more than it already was. Amamiya is also starting to get rather frustrating to me since she just feels like wet cardboard that serves as a device for exposition and, generally, she's just rather loserly. I'll keep hoping for this to get better, but I'll probably stop hoping after episode four if it's the same vibe as it has been.

Episode ini sebagian besar berisi eksposisi dan lore drop. Lorenya cukup menarik, dan aku suka misterinya. Sayangnya, kualitas animasinya sangat kurang. Ada juga beberapa adegan yang diubah dari manga, dan aku tidak bisa bilang kalau aku menyukai perubahan tersebut. Overall, episode tentang loredrop yang biasa saja dengan lore yang menarik.

Episode Context

Episode 3, titled PSI, moves the focus off the rules of the Psyren game and onto the players caught inside it. A weakened Sakurako Amamiya, Hiryuu Asaga's resolve to keep the group together, and the arrival of Ageha Yoshina stack pressure onto a confrontation with a Taboo, and the episode plays that sequence at a tense, urgent pace. PSI enters the story as a central concept here, adding a supernatural and psychological layer to the monster combat. The back half shifts register into mystery, bringing Ageha and Hiryuu into contact with Matsuri Yakumo. Action-first and lore-heavy at once, the episode pairs its escape-sequence intensity with the first real explanation of what the game's powers actually are.
