EPISODE REVIEWS

The ending was so ominous for what.. even though the characters don't really do much plot-wise, I could really feel the emotional progression and processing of Okabe. His turmoil on the first D-mail makes me curious on how that changed the world line in the first place as well.

Mayurii's exposition by the graveyard felt long-awaited. Throughout RIntaro's battle to save her, we barely got her perspective. (although she doesn't remember so..) Making it so she remembers through her dreams cuts deep, but works emotionally. The intertwined nature of separate world lines gets more complicated by day..

The whole time leap plot is becoming a little hard to follow, every solution and action by Okarin feels so helpless; when put in his shoes, I can really feel how dire the lab gang's situation is. Having the other characters remain like nothing wrong will happen digs the whole even deeper.
