The Episode Review
Arguably the best one this season, the episode has been wonderfully written and executed. The plot is fresh, the voiceovers are impeccable as always, and the animation doesn’t fail to remind us of our favourite childhood games. Most importantly, it’s good to see the season has upgraded from pointless parodies to out-of-the-box tales like this one.
