Ooh... that was a big episode.

First, the flashback served almost as a reboot, which the series really needed IMO. And it did just what I said last week I thought the series needed - it brought some specifics of Natsuko's problems into focus, and established some context for addressing them in the world of A Tale of Perishing.

Second, the tale of her rise to stardom was great, and I especially liked the meta of using exaggerated art to convey it. It's a technique that Eizouken actually did better, but still...

And third, we now know who the hawk (or whatever bird of prey that's meant to be) represents - there was a very brief flash of that same hairdo during her flashback/dream.

spoilerIt's the director of A Tale of Perishing

I was worried about this series for a bit there, but it looks like it's going to get interesting again...
