In this episode we get to see mean teacher Makoto. Also, we get to meet a new batch of characters in Rotsgard including his students (that are left), some other facutly, and the local waitress that enables Shiki's weird flavor preferences. From reading the source, I wasn't sure what to make of cream nabe, but seeing it animated...yeah, I'll pass.
There are a couple plots happening all at once in Rotsgard, and it isn't clear if or how they are all connected yet. First, there is a student trying to make advances on our friendly neighborhood waitress, but Shiki and Makoto keep getting in the way. Next, there is another student offering him drugs to get stronger. Third, a fellow professor has hired the Assassin's Guild to run Makoto out of town. Fourth, Makoto thinks the librarian is sus. That is a lot of moving pieces to put in place within one episode. I will be curious to see how they are able to navigate so many plot threads at one time.
Finally, it looks like we are going to get a more Mio focused episode next week based on the episode title. So, that is very much appreciated. Mio's quest to become a good enough cook to make food for Makoto is a fun one.
Not really looking forward to a cooking episode next week. Although this episode was good. Thanks for the synopsis.
This series has too many plot threads laid out to spend a whole episode on Mio's cooking, so I expect them to include a lot more other stuff too. For example, it has been two episodes now without seeing anything related to the other two heroes, so I wouldn't be surprised to see more from them in the next episode as well. I have read the source, but they have rearranged story elements a lot up to now to help with the flow, so I honestly am not sure what might be included in the next episode.
