Probably the best anime episode I've watched all year. And it's been a very strong year.
Extremely rewarding and heartfelt romantic scenes that admirably felt in-character. Shifting two main cast characters from friends to a believable romance without harming characterization is often not easy, but this anime did it flawlessly, especially with this episode.
Perfect drama this episode. Absolutely perfect. Particularly with Okabe fusing his personas together to give us his true self: The charismatic ham of the "Mad Scientist" and the raw real emotion of his more normal side, brought together as he dramatically "declares victory" while in great emotional pain.
Outstanding cliffhanger end.
10/10
