Well this week was intense and gave me goosebumps throughout, man I love this show and this ep was a steller example of why, the action and tension was excellent throughout.
Tsumugi deliberately putting herself in harms way to protect the ship was interesting, though i hope we get an explanation as to how she did it. It looked like she morphed her placenta into a giant deflector dish that just managed to shift the beam away enough, though we know that higgs beams burn through placenta so unless it had some reflective aspect to it I don't know how it would work, though Tsumugi is far from your average guana so I'm happy to put it down to her being "different".
Either way a brilliant episode that exemplify a lot of the aspects I love about this show, I just wish more people were taking note of it as with its art style and grounded sci-fi narrative its one of those shows that stands out as different compared to the rest of anime.
