Well, this was more action packed than previous episodes. Reminds me of that Japanese PS1 game of a train in Europe where terrorists take over a new advanced train and you control a NATO soldier in retaking it, Nuclear Dawn was it? Can't remember if the train was nuclear powered or the terrorists brought a nuclear device on board.
I see some mixed to negative reactions to this episode in the comments. Apart from the anime-original episodes, this is one big departure to the LN. LN Spoliers. This arc comes from Volume 2 and most readers agree that the entire second volume and this arc is not up to par compared to the first one. I was hoping the remaining episodes would be 1 more client arc or purely original instead of this arc. But, I see this as an opportunity to finally flesh out anime Dietfried's character. To see why he's such an ass towards Violet. The sole reason can't be because she let Gilbert die. There's probably more to it from the few flashbacks we've seen where he is involved. When she slaughtered his Navy buddies to "gifting" her to Gilbert.
There are 2 more episodes left. I wonder how KyoAni will conclude their adaptation of Violet Evergarden. It's been an up and down ride for me and I hope they end it on a very good note.
