Those who were gunning for more interesting discussion like last episode regarding resources would really enjoy the beginning part (which makes it very susceptible to mistranslations unfortunately, and I'm already worried about TAN subs skirting around the official terms once again).

If anything, this episode showcases Kawakami's talent for scenario-drafting very well. I would've gave this episode a solid 10 just base on dialogues alone if I didn't already know these stuff (and honestly was expecting more than I should have). I don't think anyone who dislikes this series is still watching at this point ... which is fine because everyone will clearly know they're are just bashing a series just for the sake of bashing a series.
Good to hear that. I usually watch 2 or 3 different versions (Its part of the fun at this point...) So I guess it will all make sense, eventually . I know I should not judge for animation alone, since negotiation and arguments here seems to have special relevance . In episode 06, I could relate more easily to what was shown, even without subs, for the emotional weight of the scenes. So I knew it would be a 9 or 10. Guess it is a different case here.
