The groans coming from the admonitions I forgot how creepy they had been.  It’s been awhile since we’ve heard that.  This ended up being a pretty solid episode that was not just about Sasame and Akashi but flushed out the rest of the cast as well!  So Akashi was told to bring back Heito and Emiru LIM- Minashi shows up to try and save the day.  Only THAT backfired greatly and ended up having the Lightless Realm expand further into the real world.  It’s about time the mysterious glowing woman reveals herself to Akashi and Minashi.  The fact that Minashi did not save Akashi and only destroyed his passion for Sasame is proof enough that there’s a lot more to him than meets the eye.  This is where the teenage angst can be pulled through much better and that bridge scene was excellent development for that! The scene that followed was fantastic when Minashi tried to pull Akashi back from another Admonition fight.  This illustrated greatly how linked all the pilots are to each other.  The animation was better this episode too and they handled Akashi’s facial expressions at the end there wonderfully! Tons better than the previous episodes!  Nice to hear Emiru again too!

OVERALL IMPRESSION: 7/10
