The writing and pacing for the last three episodes has been pretty poor. It really feels like they are dragging things out to fill episodes. And not just the pacing of the plot as a whole but individual scenes. Monsters just appeared and started eating people yet you see various characters just standing around chatting casually. The students are face to face with one and it just sits there calmly while they discuss the situation. One character is given 10 seconds to use a magic arrow, then they discuss their plan for 15 seconds… no sense of urgency, danger, intensity, etc. no emotion.
(I think it would have helped if the show did more to build the students up, especially as individuals, and maybe that’s the case for the source, but for what should be a pivotal scene, I have no idea what that archer girls name is or why she matters.)
We get one cutaway to the demons for some reason, and rather than discuss something relevant to the current episode that would add to the intensity of the moment (e.g. something about the mutants or their plans for the city, or some foreshadowing about that) they discuss the rings we already knew they had and already assumed would be improved on but seemingly have no relevance to the current events.
Logically the rings would have then mattered in the focus story (e.g. being used to keep local authorities from using the goddesses blessing against the monsters), but no, that scene seems to only exist to tease the audience with the real plot while we are forced to sit though whatever this current mess is.
Sigh, I’m just now realizing that the whole point was to contrast how Makoto’s students succeed on their own merits vs the purple coats who relied on the goddess.
I mean it was obvious they showed up just to fail and make his students look better, but the meta plot about over reliance on the goddess vs personal effort needed more focus.
Actually that would have helped with the elites in the box as well. Faith in the goddesses protection would explain their calm. Imagine the headmaster telling Makoto off, then the purple coats failing, then the headmaster turning back to Makoto to accept his aid. Really would have helped to push the slowly developing narrative about Makoto standing in as an alternative to the goddess.
Yeah, I had similar issues with how things were sequenced through this episode. They could have done a lot more to make this feel like an actual disaster was occurring around them. Instead, everybody is acting like it is just a bit of bad weather rather than grotesque monsters killing people.
