EPISODE REVIEWS

The shifts and intrigue around the John Titor thing grow for me! It's interesting to think about those who claim to be "time travelers" even irl. The cliffhangers always get me as well, every sequence feels planned out and structured; yet the audience are as lost as the MCs.

I like that the series' keeps the characters reactions realistic. Makise's reaction relatively normal, who wouldn't freak out after seeing a real ass time machine?? Having Okarin have so many screws loose also helped explain why he didn't freak out, but grow more curious as well.

The developments in this episode cleared up the weird pacing and brain fog aesthetic of the previous two. It turns out what Rintaro was arguing this whole time was possible! The pacing is still really fast, but feels reasonable given how fast the characters are advancing.
