The lineart in this episode is impeccable. I was pausing various shots, especially closeups of everyone in the party, Yaad, and Thistle. And the contours are fucking flawless.
Not a single line looks like it was the first stroke of the stylus. The time that goes into that type of thing is expensive. But damn does it make things nice to look at. If only Mato Seihei no Slave had linework like this, if just in the stills.
The closeups of Marcy in particular, are freaking awesome!
And... I mean...
This:
I've been eagerly awaiting Marcy using her familiars. As you might be able to tell, she's not exactly an expert on this type of magic... And goddamn, does the sequence make for some of the funniest and most satisfying action so far.
A couple episodes ago we had our first character deep dive in Marcy's nightmare. It's time for another, and as you might guess, Senshi is up next.
I keep saying it every week, but I can't wait for next week.
