my thoughts and feelings on the shows when I'm watching it


This episode is focused from a different point of view on the previous season

It might not be obvious however this episode theme and timeline were the same on the second season. The only difference was the point of view on the characters. That time where Rika motivated Keiichi to trust rena but it turns out that Rena was affected by the curse. On this timeline, the shots and point of view were opposites to the second season of the show. The show wants to expand on its world-building by animating the point of view of the different characters on the same timeline on the second season of the show.




The repetitive nature of the show

It sometimes gives you a feeling of déjà vu whenever you watch an episode of the show. You will ask questions like “wait have I seen this somewhere before?” it turns out that you are right since it was the same timeline on the second season. This whole anime is déjà vu that stretches for a whole third season. However credits to the studio who passionate enough to animate the show, even if the plot is moving at a snail’s pace. Watching this anime is like a fever dream or déjà vu, you have seen it somewhere before.




The plot progress

Rena and Satoko were the plot progression of the show. Every time I see them on screen my brain had a sign of relief since I want to know where this show is going. The pain Rena felt might have been painful. The animators animate the stuff well. Rena's death looks painful. The plot progresses and I can’t wait for how this story will end.





Takeaways from the episode

Stubbing yourself is painful. The scene where Rena stabs herself to return to a different timeline looks very painful. Don’t stab yourself it is a bad idea and it painful,
