This was the final episode I expected, but not the one I might have hoped for.
All in all, what happens this episode?
Exactly what you would you expect would happen. Orochi fires off its
doom rocket (I can’t really call it anything else since it’s kind of
nuke-like but not exactly and not given any particular name) and the
first act of the episode is the struggle to intercept it before the
Azur Lane home port is annihilated. We get, admittedly, a decent
action sequence for this show between Purifier and Enterprise on the
chase. You know Enty is going to intercept, but it at least tries to
sow some doubt the way a good action scene should, and the fighters
are a little less static than a lot of the fighting in this episode
in particular. Purifier still has a fun personality, too. I’d
comment that it’s one hell of a slow rocket but frankly if you
watched episode 1 you know to not expect anything to be logically
consistent with the real world.
