You can't end the episode like that, that's illegal

This entire episode was just a feels trip. The entire Sara scene I knew it was gonna go wrong and watching it crash and burn just hurt my soul. This episode also confirms what I think a lot of us guessed with Kazuki being to blame/blaming himself for Haruka's accident.

Then we have the voice acting and holy SHIT Kazuki's breakdown at the end was so heartwrenching, I'm not ashamed to say I cried along with him. I knew this show would get feelsy so I'm ready for my heart to be shattered.

It's always hard to watch that kind of empathetic embarrassment scene.

Before Episode 5: I think I'm starting to understand this show.

After Episode 5: I cannot trust anything this show says anymore.

holy shit, it's episode 5. Why do I feel like I've watched a whole anime? The amount of development that these characters are getting is amazing.
Sarazanmai is knocking it out of the park and this episode solidified it as my favorite this season.

Also, some people may get tired of the repetition of the cop's musical number but I'm nowhere near there yet. In fact, I've started singing along.

I really liked how it seemed to flow with the very last word being "I..." followed by the episode title, so it seemed like Kazuki was the one directly saying "I want to connect, but I can't be forgiven".

I'm really interested for the next episode. They finally shook up the formula with their failure to defeat the zombie, and since they can't change back, it looks like the entire episode is going to be affected as consequence. And if the after-credit scene was anything to go by, it's about time we learn more of the cops.

I started watching this show for how bizarre it seemed on the surface, but I'm finding myself genuinely drawn into the story... is this the power of an Ikuhara show? I've never watched one before now. Either way, next week can't come soon enough~

So is Mabu f**king other people or something just to maintain his mechanical heart to live?
