Is this a Halloween or something? Everyone should wear masks at this town. Fortunately nobody wears a Guy Fawkes. The "Scar" here makes me remember about the "Scar" in FMA. They both lost their names.

Settings in shows like this amuse me. The car seems completely anachronistic compared to everything else, which looks like some old European countryside centuries ago. Yet somehow, it works, and questions like "how did a city nation that large get established so quickly" really don't seem to matter as much as they should, logically speaking. Show gives me a big FMA vibe though. The city entrance was especially ominous and creepy.

After what happened in the previous episode, I'd been wondering where the show was going to go next, and the answer is: ROAD TRIP!
In many ways this episode put me in mind of two other things. A 'twilight years of humanity' feel that very much reminded me of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. While it's not the same kind of cosy catastrophe we see in YKK, you do get in this show the feeling that the world is winding down. Also the same feeling that you shouldn't think about the infrastructure too much, there's probably some surviving infrastructure but it's behind the scenes... The other thing this episode put me in mind of was that it had a bit of a 'Kino no Tabi' feel to it. That feeling of travelling to a strange place to see what happens there. Both good things to be reminded of, really. But the highlight of the show was the city of Ortus, a city of a million dead who won't lie down, and which was both beautiful and creepy with its wonderful carnival atmosphere. I suspect Scar's illness is because every fibre of her being is telling her to go out and bury people, and she's having to hold herself back. And there's that voice.... So far this show is better than I'd expected when I read the previews! |
