Eh it was alright.

Felt like watching a monster movie this episode with Unit 8 trying to investigate the mysterious problem. Some decent background storytelling about director Kadoyama too. Pretty fitting for Rudra's counterattack as the title. I thought the action is decent for the second part of the episode. Next episode..swimsuits? Lol.

She did appeared often, include this episode too. But not directly if you want so, just through the screen and another communication device.

Giant Monster fan?! Seriously? LOL
So it's just another episode of "normal" work of Unit 8 huh? I really want to see another confrontation that involving Mythos. It feels so much thrilling even when not against Willwear directly.

Damn, the former Prime Minister is a dick.

Also, Bird using a kaijuu hologram to blow up a city? That's, certainly creative.....

Well well an monster attack to start the episode eh
that sure was unexpected and i felt that i was watching Ultraman for an instant lol

The story for this episode was ok and entertaining though and im starting to like Emilia who is voiced by Yukari Tamura one of my my fav seiyuu's of all time. The part when she and the rest of the cast acted out that scenario was pretty good.

Still i hope that they continue to feature Ari Ozawa's character and her unit in the episodes because they make the case much more fun.

Still too bad that they weren't able to stop the ward from being turned to rubble.

Looks like things will be much more interesting in the next episodes now that the main villain is back in Japan

The lesson learned in this episode was that sometimes CGI is used way too much when the old methods would have been much better. I thought that this was pretty appropriate

Besides episode 3, how can you say that she has been in the show often in this season, all she does is make brief 30 second cameo's, and that was no different this episode.

Oh well, if you think so. Maybe you can sum up her appearance until this episode so far. That would make you think she appeared "often". After all, she's now has her own Unit so I guess the right word is "Just deal with it and keep watching". -_-

It's okay, you don't have to apologize either. On the other hand I'm sorry for my rudeness, I really don't mean to be like that. Maybe because of the wrong word word I pick? But seriously I didn't mean to be rude. I'm so sorry.

Really liked this one, since I work in a related field. Gives a balanced view (like Shirobako) instead of mindless cg hate.
Director's main point is the same as what some malers noticed the huge difference between hi vs low budget CG:
"If I don't have any money, I'd rather use old-fashioned sfx than some lousy CG."
He even planned to combine old & cg together. One episode only & i already like this oldman a lot, rip.
Bunkyou looked like a scene in Joker Game.
Lol Asami & ex-gf.

I feel like this is better when they keep this episodic, like when they do try to actually be serious it's wack. And they're really making this random ass backstories huh.

Also, c'mon, the MC last cour "last season" barely even shows up. But I really don't think that's much of a problem.
