Comments
Dany Muhammad (The Indonesian Anime Times)
In the first half of the episode, Kokkoku spent its time to observe the Yukawa family. As a lower class family, it is easy to sympathise with their problems. Juri, the only “proper” citizen there, is still seeking for a job. Her brother, Tsubasa, is also a NEET. Their problems felt grounded and easy to relate.
However, in the second half of the episode, Kokkoku suddenly switched its gear. The show suddenly felt like a mystery anime with supernatural element. The time freeze scene is executed very well, accompanied with cool CG. The latter half also shows a fighting scene between supernatural power users that involved time freeze and teleportation. As a supernatural anime thriller mystery, Kokkoku is recommended.
