Been waiting for that bgm to play for sometime now
Part of me is disappointed they "wasted" it at the start of the episode, but then they hit the nail in the head by re-using it during Masato's flashback.
Overall the episode was pretty enjoyable.
(And I think the statue looks smaller in the anime. I did get a pretty good chuckle out of Masato hauling that damn thing around in the VN)
