Selesiademption
(This review contains
spoilers!)
While I love Re:Creators a lot, I’ll be the first to admit that it has its fair
share of problems and issues. For instance, with a cast this big it comes as no
surprise that a few main players haven’t quite had the same amount of
screentime as others. One of the stranger decisions thus far is to have
Selesia, the character usually central on posters, advertising material and the
like for this show, do basically nothing past the first few episodes.
While this episode didn’t do much for
her plot-wise, it was an enjoyable way to bring her back to the frontlines,
while also creating a great fight scene.
There isn’t much by way of plot this
week, as Re:Creators once again gathers
everyone for an awesome fight scene. Seriously, this show has some of the best
anime fights I’ve seen since One Punch
Man. The animation is always top-notch, and the new inclusion of techno
music with lyrics in the background make it even cooler. All the characters got
a little slice of action this time around as well, even ones like the mecha guy
who’ve done barely anything thus far.
Selesia is the one who truly takes
center stage, as she arrives to protect Meteora from Alice. But just as it
looks like we’re about to get a fight between the two, Altair intervenes,
disarming Selesia and having Alice accidentally stab her. The two main girls
are down, the mech guy and the rival guy are off fighting their own battles,
and things aren’t looking good.
Re:Creators
then decides to throw us for yet another loop, introducing a new way to power
up the characters. Selesia’s creator sends out a tweet with the image drawn a
few episodes ago, and after people respond positively to it Selesia is revived
with amped up fire magic. I love this idea so much! It’s been made clear that
fans need to accept a change before it can actually happen in the creations, so
having a tweet by the creators with some new changes give a temporary boost to
the creations is a brilliant idea. I really hope this is explained a bit more
later on, because I really want to see more of it.
While this episode is definitely more
of a “finale showdown” type of story that doesn’t really progress the plot
(aside from the tweet thing), it’s so much fun to watch. The fights in this
show alone are well worth the time spent in exposition hell earlier on in the
season. According to Magane at the end (as well as the showrunners) we’ve
reached the halfway point in our adventure with these characters, and it’s been
quite the ride so far.
FINAL SCORE
9/10
Amazing
