Closing out in style, Akudama Drive manages one last propulsively polished episode
Majo no Tabitabi departs with a competent episode, showcasing various potential results of Elaina’s travels and anchoring them all back to the essence of her character in the end that makes for a nice thematic finish.
It’s another week and yet another dose of Munou na Nana doing what it does best – placing its brand of tension, manipulation, and deceit in an excellent position for success.
This was a really pleasing turnout from Jujutsu Kaisen on both sides of the coin – delivering an immersive production effort down to the tacks and pushing out a level of healthy scripting that heartily understands its mood shifts and hooks.
We’re now just stacking good episodes on top of good episodes in Munou na Nana, and it’s starting to feel a little underrated in the bigger picture of Fall’s catalog
Coming in at the top of this week, it’s round two and Akudama Drive is going strong, offering yet another sharp episode full of smart compositions and flows.
Coming in at the top of this week, for a season that’s so far had its fair share of underwhelming to middle of the road starts, Adachi to Shimamura looks like a solid change of pace – having an opening act that glides on good storytelling fundamentals and associated tangibles to a pleasant close.
