This shot is excellent. The "huh? ...!" moment when viewer notices that cid doesn't belong with the rest of the scenery. I love overhead shot when we only see legs. The people behind windows unaware of what is going on. The confusion of the viewer at what the heck cid is doing.
Masterfully directed.
Kazuya Nakanishi has had a hell of a showing between the first season and this season. I hadn't seen any of his other works prior to TEIS, but he is one to watch for sure. One thing that has also impressed me this season is how economical they have been with animation. They have reused a lot of animation this season, but been able to make it not as noticeable by changing framing or context, or they just leaned into it and made it into a joke (the moon is red, the frenzy has begun...). The staff has really demonstrated a lot of passion for the source by including lots of anime original content that feels right at home and even incorporating several references to WN-only content that never even made it into the LNs.
They even reused the animations from season 1 opening a few EPs ago.
