Man... imagine just having a nice little picnic and you decided it's time to go back, then all of a sudden, BAM, the whole ship gets hijacked. 
Guess we gotta wait next week to see what Spinel is planning.


I can already tell how many people were a bit worried about this episode being a recap of sorts, but it was just a semi recap (thankfully). 

Really nice episode too. They really nailed the aspect of the sandwich making of the game pretty well. It also does look like they're in Levencia as well, so we could get 3 more episodes of Paldea before traversing to Galar.

Man... must be tough being Roy and Fuecoco. They got their sandwich taken, and started having a screech off with a Wattrel, who apparently is having trouble flying. (Next episode will also have Roy and Fuecoco helping the Wattrel fly. Wonder what this reminds you of, lol)

Welp. see you next week.

Edit: So a new key visual poster got revealed for HZ, and apparently, Kabu is featured in it. Take that how you want it, but it does mean Kabu will be in HZ. Meaning more Galar rep, woo!!

Most of the episode had a chill vibe which made me feel like i was watching a filer, but at the end things start to spice up which was needed.

First half was a bit of a soft recap but we got the ball rolling in the second half. It's cool to see a bit of lore with the Brave Asagi itself, so Orio was its original owner?

Interesting how Roy is getting his 2nd pokemon before Liko, I predicted she was gonna get Kilowattrel but it looks like that's going to Roy instead. Also looking forward to seeing this arc with Spinel, dude's got a lot of things up his sleeve from the looks of it.

Recap wasn't necessary... otherwise pretty good to have the sandwich part of Scarlet/Violet games, and more character development. Gonna look forward to seeing Roy getting his 2nd pokemon next.

Alright episode. Little bit of recap after the break and then mostly focusing on the sandwich making part of Scarlet/Violet. The sooner Liko learns about Dot the better at this point. Honestly the cliffhanger and preview were probably the most exciting parts of this episode for me. Also why did they just change Friede's seminar to both before and after the ED rather than leave it as is? No real issue just seems strange to do it now.

A minute of recap and people will act as if it lasted half the episode. Jeez...

A rather chill breather episode to setup what's to come. Spinel about to cause some chaos.

It's a bit silly really. I mean at most you can say 2 minutes, but it's really not half the episode.

Recap is just one of the words anime fans use but don't know what it actually means, alongside "filler", and "budget".

Easily the weakest episode of Horizons so far
Slice of life elements with a bit of recap.
Also animation in this episode was so poor. I hope the animators' schedule isn't already a mess and they just give themselves time to polish the animation for the next episodes.

Animation seemed alright to me.

It was a recap episode rather than a filler or story-progression episode. A lot of animation directors (14 iirc)

Not a recap episode. Barely 2 minutes of it was actually recap.

Im glad more episodes are airing again after that small break and it came back with a pretty funny start especially with Roy accidentally making his sandwich fall over. I cant really explain it but I still can feel how different it is compared to Ash's story. The characters feel more expressive in ways we normally dont see from Ash and even though its been months since his story ended, I still think its a refresher. Although i really do still miss watching Ash battle and travel around and that will never change. Anyways I give this ep a 10/10 once again!

Rather than recap- or filler-, I think the correct term for this is bottle-episode.  An episode that only uses pre-established (or generic) locations and focusses exclusively on the main cast without guest stars. Pokemon fighting was also pretty minimal.

While I like the slow burn and cliffhangers, I also get the feeling some of these plots might be weakened by abandoning the episodic format. Did that Wattrel plot really need to be cut in half? Did the villain really need short menacing scenes in 3 episodes so far when our heroes still not even know that he exists? Well, Team Rocket wouldn't have the patience or intelligence to execute a plan this way, so it's nice that we get something different.

Dunno why I saw Umbreon and started shouting for Gary.

Also, looks like the Nidothing gag is gonna last for a while. At least, we will get to see Dot reveal her identity directly.

As I said, not a recap episode as less than 2 minutes of it was actually recap.
