Holy fucking shit the animation this episode was incredible, the obvious highlight being Garfiel vs Kurgan. I remember when reading the original WN for the fight I wasn't that excited for seeing it ever get animated but they did an amazing job of it here.
And of course Capella was great as usual, she clearly knows Al was the one to open the floodgates and kill the others from the council. Also hearing Al say his iconic phrase, except about himself instead of others was cool to finally hear.
So looks like the Astrea stuff is up next, man I'm not ready.
