But I enjoy the references. Hope tension picks up though and the transition into true despair is smooth. I also want more Nagito scenes alongside Hajimes but itll be hard with such a bloated cast and no core chars truly dying (an advantage of the others was that as the big cast shrunk due to deaths, other living members could get more focus but that prob wont happen here)

EDIT upon finishing: Ultimately didnt care for how much brainwashing was in the series, but I still love Komaeda's antics and actions so much (I esp love that it took the strongest char in the franchise to take him down), and it was a nice background to Mirai and Game 2. That said, it was ultimately too bleak/grim for my taste and wasn't actually as interesting intrigue wise. There's not as much tension, and I dislike brainwashing in general as a plot device.
