Back in the episode 11 thread, I talked a lot about the OST for the show. I wanted to highlight a part of the episode in which I thought the OST was excellent this time as well: when Falin wakes up and walks to the dragon corpse. The music set the creepy mood perfectly. Also, as an added bonus, I loved that the music didn’t kick in until a couple seconds after she opens her eyes. She springs awake in complete silence, something that we aren’t used to as media viewers. This type of scene has been done so many times before and the music always kicks in right when the eyes open. So, it was extra creepy to subvert that expectation.

There was also a great piece of animation that I wanted to highlight from this episode. When Marcy is going on her cancel-spree, there are some great sequences in there filled with impact frames that really add to the frenetic nature of it. The animation really adds to the sense that Marcille is on the verge of losing herself, just like the animation is losing its form as a reflection of that. This one is probably my favorite of the impact frames, you can still kind of make out the little dragon she is cancelling:

After we joined up with the orcs, the episode calmed down a lot (though, did Marcy just lose her staff for good? we kind of glided past that quickly). I am excited to see where things go from here. Falin may be lost for now, but we know that she is in there somewhere. Also, the ghosts seem to be helping us out as we go about our way now. So, I take that as a good sign since Falin has always had a bit of a connection to the ghosts.

Surprised at no new OP/ED like others mentioned. Though, I do love this ED, it has really grown on me this season.

We should have known there was something off about that elf when he was not on each painting in ep 6 but showed up inside, and he remembered Laios across them (and here).

He was looking for his king. If you do not remember what happened, go back and check out the legend at the very beginning of ep 1. This will not end well.

Our girl Marcy really lost it for a second there.

I actually kind of missed it in the manga… But the ghosts really help out here. They step in between Falin and the Master as if to protect her from him, save the gang after they are almost killed by a trap with no way out, and guide Chilchuck to go pick up their stuff.

Like the dead girl that Falin spoke to in last weeks episode, and as Leed comments, these ghosts aren’t hostile. In fact they are likely residents of the city, perpetually trapped in their undeath and begging for release.

Yet, the master seems unconcerned with their suffering.

On a different note, no new OP or ED?!

I giggled so hard when the dragon ham started rolling around and it had the floating food text behind it. I am loving how Trigger is adapting the comedy for this series.
