Nothing of grave importance really happened in this episode. I guess that sounds a little scary since it’s the second last episode of the series but really, we pretty much just got a whole bunch of setup work going on in this episode. It’s certainly no real loss if you missed this episode.

Despite its “uselessness”, I think they paced this episode very well. While everything was just a “setup” for the finale, no frames were wasted in this one. Things happened for a reason, there was a purpose behind everything. I also commend the production team on managing to tie in the two season’s original material into this ending.

The previews hinted at something Shana fans have been clamouring forever although it’s likely just a curveball to throw all of us off. The only way this is going to happen properly is if Yuji does make his transformation next episode. I’d like to think that it’s going to happen but I really don’t know…
