This blew my expectations out of the water. I was cautiously optimistic about this season and I clicked the episode expecting to be just satisfied. I left leaping my bed in joy and pure happiness. Mappa is doing a fantastic job and I'm looking forward to the next few episodes. The animation is beautiful and so was the music as well. Don't get me started on the pacing as well. The tone was set perfectly and it felt as if I was watching a movie, very cinematic. Loved the character introductions as well. Overall, great episode.
