Actually, I completely understand this episode progression already. The parallel episodes thing holds absolutely true:
- Heavy meta-world emphasis.
- Ange emphasis, some actual information.
- Slow buildup and a sudden breakdown into utter insanity with meta-characters popping up all over.
- Ange attempts to process the information she's given.
- Some sort of confrontation with the facts.
- Ange reaches catharsis with her past by understanding something important independent of the plain facts.
Thus far everything I've heard about ep8 pretty much follows this (ep4's progression) exactly, though we'll see how it actually
ends.
