This episode was just wow.
Holy shit what a great fucking episode. Everything was perfect.
5.5/10
It's getting too crazy for me now. It's kinda really good as it shows the becoming of cyberpsychos but it was also quite depressing to see three team members dying that fast... :o
So it's interesting but I didn't really enjoy it.
At least Maine went out as himself and not as a cyberpsycho.
"Can't stop running, no turning back."
"Reaper's finally calling my name."
Strong episode. A bit cliched tropes - botched gig, amateur who hesitated, lead messing up, ending with everyone dead - but the execution was well done. There's enough tense, enough mystery, enough grit, and the intro sequence was well done to send Maine off with a bang. Still not sure why the heck they had to fetch Tanaka and what's the point of all those though.
The art style and quality seemed different in this episode. Hard to tell if this was purposeful or because a different animator was tasked with some of the scenes. It knocked me out of the immersion.

Damn that was a strong episode. Seeing someone's perspective in cyberpsychosis was super interesting. Poor Maine.
