Swords, magic and now a gun
(This review contains
spoilers!)
Talk about a comeback. Re:Creators has suffered immensely over
the last few weeks thanks to the writers trying to get all the exposition out
of the way in the first few weeks. This led to several episodes featuring
little but the characters talking about anything and everything, but with very
little actually being accomplished.
This episode was the first one since
the first two that really felt like what I was hoping we’d see out of this
anime. It was colorful and fun, with lots of fantastic characters and
relationships between them as well as some excellently choreographed fight
scenes.
This episode finally properly
introduced the last of the major Creations (or at least the ones that appear in
the opening). The purple-haired girl has some sort of sinister magic powers
fueled by lies, but we never really got to see her use or explain it. Despite
this, she’s a very entertaining Chaotic Evil character that I want to see more
of.
She is pursued by the
always-entertaining duo of Alice and Momoka. Their relationship is just as good
here as it was in their first episode. Coming from two different anime with
vastly contrasting themes gives them a great friendly rapport on how they view
meeting new people at the opening of the episode.
The one real problem I still have with
this anime is main character guy. He has an extremely small and insignificant
role at the beginning of the episode (which is literally just what he did at
the end of the last episode) where he learns of the origins of the Military
Uniform Princess…and then doesn’t explain what they are. It’s kind of obvious
she has different origins from the rest of the cast, but I really wish he’d
actually explained it or something to give him a thing to do this episode.
The best part of the episode is easily
the finale. Most of the Creations all come out to battle with each other over
their clashing ideals, and it’s awesome to finally see them all showing off
their abilities again after weeks of just plain nothing. The fight scene is
long and awesome, with plenty of different things and characters to watch the
whole time. The best part is that it isn’t done yet, meaning we’ll see more
next week.
This episode is exactly what I hoped Re:Creators would be back when I
started. This episode featured awesome characters, great exchanges and banter
between them, and fantastic battles. I’m so glad we’ve finally escaped the
exposition, because now is the time for this anime to really show us what it
can do.
FINAL SCORE
9/10
Amazing
