I was just about to come here and scream my head off about that girl being unconscious right as Ryou is about to actually do something. 7 episodes and the MC is FINALLY about to become the actual MC, for the first time.
The show has so much potential but they keep messing it up with power point slides and constant still pictures with a moving mouth. It feels like I'm reading a manga with a voice over.
Side character Ryo got a little bit more screen time now finally, was in the library then suddenly spawned to floor 40 being all cocky. Next ep will probably be spent on the girl coming to warn him and his journey to floor 40. Pacing is garbage, and the chosen scenes do not fit the narrative at all..
This is what happens when 1,947 people add slop like The Beginning After the End to their 'Favorites'. The other studio heads look at each other and say "Are you seeing this? Look at what ACAT got away with. People are even defending it. Now WE can do it to! Let's pocket half the budget and fire up PowerPoint."
