So I couldn't help but feel disappointed by this one. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if I was marathoning the show, but the fact I have to wait another week after this episode was basically just a bridge episode between two story arcs.... just sigh.

I think that episodes like this are the most important , they build expectations and interest for future episodes . Kouta could have known about Yuuya and Helheim in the first 5 episodes , but it wouldn't had much meaning or impact on the viewer.

I believe this the same reason why so many people are expecting Micchy's downfall , because it's gonna cause drama of epic proportions and probably another turning point in the series.
