| It was a harsh and sad story. |

| Meh episode. Honestly, I heavily disliked Amo the moment she was introduced so her sob backstory did little-to-nothing to change my perception of her. Also, let's not forget she tried to kill the entire main cast just one episode ago, and for no solid reason at that. Seriously, smh at these shounen stories using sob backstories to justify the actions of psychopaths. That said, I gotta admit the way the whole grooming stuff was depicted via children's drawings was genius. Definitely more impactful than going full edgy and show the ugly bastard howling atop Amo like in other shows. But come on, man. This chick has one of those Watchman Series instruments and they just leave without her? Fully knowing those Raider guys are after those objects?? Like for real, how dumb can you all be??? |
| Her backstory's completely fucked. But for all we know she could have killed and graped these characters herself by mentally forcing them. I find her insanely fast self-recognition recovery to be incredibly implausible, that kind of growth after getting so completely fucked in the head that you start hypnotizing people into killing their own loved ones because you suspect they "want to use her for information" which... was exactly what she offered them in the first place. Like. She was way beyond "far gone", how many innocents did she kill before? And how did she twist their minds? It felt very, very weird to have her try and kill literally all of them, fierecely so, only to get beat up and instantly go "I understand now." I don't blame her character, she deserves an opportunity to recover now that she recognizes what she was doing, but the way it was handled just fell very flat for me. This is not what recovery looks like. It felt like recovery being romanticized. That being said, they did well with the overall portrayal of her background. But it felt cheap to first introduce her as a hyponitizing murderuous maniac and then this episode. "Look! She's crazy for a reason." No hate on her, but the writing I do not respect. |

| didnt expect this show to take a really dark route-- and honestly given how everything else has been iffy to me-- i was left decently surprised how well a serious topic got handled, wasn't bad at all |
