EPISODE REVIEWS

things always take a massive dark turn when Cartaphilus is involved, don't they? This dragon auction was twisted and messed up on so many levels, and on that front the episode really nailed a good sense of atmosphere.

A pretty tense introduction to this episode creates gloom and tension superbly into the account. Chise and her team of Alchemists convinced Elias to look into the problem. Their combined effort is put through a sequential narrative flow that matches the overall pace.

Finally kicks the plot into “oh, we’re doing THIS now” mode. I felt the tension creeping in hard—shady vibes, sad magic, and Chise feeling way too much again. Not a chill episode, but a necessary one. Buckle up, it’s getting messy.
