S;G 13 - Farewell to fear, farewell to sorrow

For the first time in several weeks, I have a Dr. Pepper (cherry) at my side, and the show enters its second half. The subtitle I gave might not seem to match...but in a way, it sort of does.

Mayuri was barely dead before Rintaro jumped into the past (twice! It works, so...congratulations on that, I suppose?). But the universe is really out to get them. Two time leaps, two times the same ending. The final scene of this episode was pretty well done, too - you don't need gore and blood splattering everywhere to make something gripping and scary. If anything, the lack of it makes it scarier. SERN may have eyes and ears and other organs around the city, but y'know, I still believe there's hope. Rintaro's crazy mad scientistness can break through everything. Time. Space. Foreshadowing.

The foreshadowing may be the toughest enemy of all.
