9.5/10

all the boring ass, poorly paced sol shit that plagued the first half of every episode, is gone. this more than makes up for that. its definitely my favorite by faaaaar, and turns watanagashi on its head with wild ass twists, recontextualizing everything from the viewpoint of my favorite character, well also characterizing characters i didnt like as much and turning them into ones i did. and boy, if this is only the first episode of the answer arcs, i cant wait to see what else i have in store, man. what a thrilling start.
