Lord of Mysteries : Episode 5

Current Episode Score: 7

This was a really good episode to me, took things slow again in the beginning of the episode to develop the world and characters a bit more. And just give it some time to rest in general before this next section starts up with this assassin. The fight itself with Tris is one of the better things the show has given us I feel, it actually gave the feeling of danger to the characters. And an enemy who doesn’t just get taken down immediately in a single moment that feels anti-climatic. Instead it is going to be building up to a larger conflict finally, and crafting some characters which I hope will stick around and grow to be bigger antagonists. Even if I don’t really understand the motivations for why she was killing so many people in the city, it seems to fit what we know of the character. With the deaths probably related to the sculpture and her abilities.

Was also the odd time skip moment in the episode. And I wonder if that is an anime original thing or not. Did they cut out a dozen boring chapters of just training, or was it originally like this in the source.
