This episode acted as the bridge between the past and the present, bringing all the tragedy that awaits with it.

It takes guts for a series as slow as Grimgar to have an episode dedicated to the characters taking a day off.

We’ve been gradually building up to the moment where everything would go horribly wrong, and now we’ve reached it. Rakugo Shinjuu is a tragedy in the making, and watching the horror unfold week by week is proving equally painful and brilliant.

「彼女と彼女の部屋」 (Kanojo to Kanojo no Heya)
“She and Her Apartment”
Shinkai Makoto’s famed short about a job hunting girl and her loving black cat gets a picturesque remake, and it’s just as depressing as I remember.

“In My Memories With You”
It’s the human vs goblin showdown. Equal parts blood, snow, and sombre grieving.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is exquisite on so many levels that I often think it must be a dream – or perhaps a nightmare?

“They Were Called Goblin Slayers”
They say time heals all wounds. Well, Grimgar is certainly taking its time, and there’s plenty of wounds in need of healing.

“Her Circumstances”
Slow, mellow, and sombre. Grimgar continues to be as the name suggests: grim.

Watching Rakugo Shinjuu is like watching an exquisitely well made, critically acclaimed live-action film.
