Hoho, looks like Episode 21 is the episode where things do get better.

For the first time since Episode 12... dear lord, the numbers are the exact inverse of each other. But anyway, yes, I haven't felt so excited going through an episode since 12. Probably because I'm not being too critical about Asahi. In fact, speaking of her, she's actually getting better. Thanks, Ryoichi! I mean, he did direct Episode 18 of Geed.

I do like the pacing here as well, it didn't feel like anything between Episodes 14-18 where the plot moves only because of a "prompt". That's what I call a forced plot device that only appears when the Episode really needs to move things along. Sure, everything should rely on something like that, but there's a difference between the characters actively trying to solve something and them having to solve that something only when the plot demands so. In short, this episode is beginning to bring back the flair that Masayoshi brought early on.

It does seem a bit weird that during the episode where Mio is finally being actively discussed about, she enters the scene right at the end of it. But then again, it makes sense since she was brought up around 1/4th of the episode.

As for the fight? I think it's some of the most well done so far. I mean, there are definitely still more fights earlier that tops this, still. But it's a good serving for the plot, it helped to progress the characters further. I'm starting to lose sense in what I'm talking about, so I'll leave it there.

Overall, the Episode has me stapled again to the show. I'm interested to see where they're going to take this from now on. I'd say, this episode sits at 8/10.
