EPISODE REVIEWS
Honestly, I think this was the most enjoyable episode thus far even if our main characters weren't really doing very much. I mean, for all intents and purposes, this was really just a training episode with the beginning being a, like, two minute long recap for no real reason. Our characters are starting to get to grips with their superpowers and working on them, and we also had a relatively brief introduction to two characters that are likely going to play some sort of critical role in future. I wasn't a huge fan of taking our characters out of the world of Psyren for periods at a time; I'm still not, but this episode felt like they did it in an - at least - bearable way. The episode ends with Ageha tapping into some critical powers and the call coming through for the next game to start, and I'm just hoping it's more compelling than the last
Any hope of a normal training arc went out the window the second Nemesis Q popped up behind Oboro on live television. Tenjuin Elmore knowing about all this already and just treating it like a hobby is the thing I keep thinking about. The old woman had more menace in her few minutes than anyone else all episode and she barely raised her voice
The Burst Rise Trance breakdown gave me major Nen flashbacks which isn't a knock. The way the show explains psychic powers as literally just using the brain at full power is simple enough that it sticks. Sakurako tying them to chairs was a nice touch too
