It's trippy, sure, but in much the same way many SHAFT anime shows are. It doesn't mean that everything is surrealism.

The interactions between Shouma and Ringo up until this one all felt very authentic and real to me. Not surreal.

That's my point. I don't like it.
To each her own? I'm not criticizing you, I'm just saying that it's there. Every episode since 9 or 10 has had some big surrealist moment in it. I'll take genre subversion over cliché any day.
