UTW - Episode 06


------------------------







Hmm, strangely enough Satoru hasn't suffered from Death Feedback by killing those foreign queerats. The last two episodes have been at a pretty breakneck pace. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, just different from what I was used to from watching the first 3 eps.

I'd hate for Satoru to die. I find him to be more interesting than Shin. He was kinda annoying when nothing happened in the village, but now that they're in a crisis he's showing how he can put his proactiveness to work.

As with previous weeks, the episode had me engrossed. The portrayal of squealer being more dangerous and shifty than you can read from his words alone was well done. I was actually entertaining the idea that the Robber Fly might have even teamed up with the Ground Spiders to kill off the human rulers - but then it would make no sense to have Squealer save them in the first place.

The most confusing part was that Saki didn't tell Satoru to reverse he own seal. Perhaps she thought he might lose his powers, or that herself knowing the process is hypnotic would render it useless (but so would the Seal, if that was the case).
