I mean, it's not like it ended up helping Ruli stay out of the firing line this time too, but was a good idea, right?
No, but seriously, this episode really hit all the horror movie tropes in the best way. Usually, if I say I wish an episode was longer, it some form of me complaining that too many conceptual elements into one show, but in this case it really is just me wanting more of everything in this episode. Seriously, I could totally see this exact plot working as a Ghost Game movie. Think about it: make the intro into a montage of several places being attacked in a row, have a sequence of the forum users interacting online to introduce them, also provide a little bit of backstory to flesh out who they are, drop in some foreshadowing so that Gigasmon's motivations don't just show up out of nowhere, then give the ending a bit more breathing room so that it's less abrupt, and this would TOTALLY work as a movie! ...well, okay, maybe not a full-length feature, but definitely one of those mini-movies like the old seasons of Digimon used to get.
ALSO! Here's the obligatory reminder that I'm holding a vote on Patreon over what OTHER anime I'll do weekly comics on in the future! Look here for more info!
