It's been 2 years and episode 6 still hasn't been topped in recent history.Come on anime industry, step up your game.
I liked the song
>>269230982OP is young zoomer /thread
>>269231071>actually /thread his own commentHoly fucking kys
>>269231051Major crimes and zurawie were perfect in it. The music in the series but this episode specifically really bumped it up a level you don't see in anime very frequently. I also can't think of many that have the kind of single episode buildup/climax that this episode does.
Time is flowing by, but everything is still the same.
I liked Edgerunners but that episode was fake kino
>>269230982it was brilliant kino
>>269230982>some random dude dies>everything still looks like shitHuh.
>>269231454That describes every episode of the show.
>>269231402What the fuck is fake kino supposed to mean, cyberpsychosis was brought up several times before the episode where Maine loses it, it's not like it's completely random
>>269231649It's trying to be impactful and emotionally gripping when it's not.The finale of the anime is kino because of a thing called catharsis.
>>269231071>in recent historyOP specifically said "in recent history"
>>269231836Not everything needs to be 'payoff' to be good, that's the entire point of the show. Maine fucked up and died, and was forgotten about by the world at large. David saw firsthand just how fucked up the life he set out on gets. That was what made the episode good. It was the loss of what remained of his innocence
>>269231836I think it can be hard to follow on first watch everything leading up to the events of that episode but a lot of stuff really does come together and happen all at once in that episode other than just maine going cyberpsycho. I get what you're saying and there's probably an element of it, but it's not completely unearned.
>>269230982Arcane is better
>>269232545Unfortunately it's definitely at least comparable if not better. Edgerunners shoots it's load twice, in episode 6 and the end. Arcane does it 3 times at the end of each 3-episode group.Music is doing a lot in both cases, anime need to step up their score game instead of just having generic 'dramatic anime music'.
>>269232629I liked both. But Edgerunners does hit a slup after episode 6 and the finale isn't really that good because the guy is impossible to sympathize with post-timeskip
