I'll definitely talk more about it next time (the first episode write-up was already coming in at about the length I prefer), but I dig it! I don't know if I'd put it in my Top 5, and it's not in danger of bumping off SURPRISE DRIVE, but it's an earworm for sure!

(not sorry)

Hard same.

kurona why do we never agree on anything

But thanks! I'll try and keep this one fun for folks.

It's always doing something creative with Clock Up and all its physical elements, and the sound design associated with it is incredibly iconic.

So much of Clock Up feels like people who worked on Faiz going Why Didn't We Do More With Accel Form. It feels like that inspired a lot of what's going on with the Worms in the opening fight... and then they spend the rest of the episode outdoing that? Very fun gimmick for a show.
