Well, well, well. This episode was surprisingly good. Still, it has its flaws. Most of the things I was complaining about in the first episode review still apply, but once again, with a few exceptions, this episode has been able to twist its mistakes into something better!
First, the bad. The animation somehow seems to be WORSE than the first two episodes. Maybe it's because the overall rest of the episode got better, and I simply expected more from the animation. Death was a pretty okay character, but the other three horsemen of the apocalypse were bland, stereotypical, and not really worth their screen time. They honestly could have just dropped off the characters and then left.
Now, the good. I only gave this episode a slightly higher rating than the last one was because the plot was more confined into a straight path and not all over the place. It was still pretty decent, and I have to admit, the cliffhanger with Mira was pretty good, and almost got me. I really am starting to like the characters much more, but they really have to stop adding random "superpowers" to the characters for the sake of convenience.
Overall, I think the series is headed in a good direction. I doubt that the animation will get better, but many things still can. I have great hope for the next 7 episodes.
Rating: 7.1/10
