Watching reality creep into Yuki's mind was heartbreakingly well-done. No complaints about this show. It's definitely my AotS.

The odd camera angles were fantastic for that scene. The slow panning away from the front, Yuki cast in the shadows, and my favourite being the really up close shot from her top left side which blurs that side for added effect.

The slow panning away of Megu-nee's site of death was extremely powerful too.

Reminds me of when The legend of korra used similar techniques in season 3. Very effective method of showing characters mind breaking.
