This episode was more than just a filler... It's a really great episode in broadening Sora's character as a hero in training. With the help of the kitty plushie, Marron, Sora was able to learn more about heroism. Sora continues to be such a queen through her learnings of helping anyone in need. She's already open to knowing her faults, and acknowledges that she's at fault for not considering Marron's feelings and getting scared of the fella. To be fair though, I'd get creeped out when it happens to me.

That aside, Marron's story really pulls my heartstrings very well. I feel bad for Marron, even though I already see it coming. I find it nice that Sora is able to connect with Marron and be able to be happy in the end when parting ways from Marron. The emphasis on loneliness is just so good, and it's a great callback to Sora's past of being all by herself. I just love when it's referenced, as that's what made me love Sora even more. It's all great character developments! Plus, Mashiro is just great in being by Sora's side. She was able to relay to Sora about what it's like to have a stuffed toy, and we got more Sora X Mashiro moments. While Tsubasa and Ageha are in the background, I believe that Elle stood out the most. She has the guts to become friends with a haunted stuffed toy, and is pretty kind towards it too. I love where the story is taking Elle's character, and it's also a great way to establish that even Elle can teach something to the heroes about accepting anyone despite the odd circumstances going around them.

Also, Minoton is just there...Nothing we can do about it. After all, he's been playing fair, and I respect that. At least he gives us time to develop our heroes even further. Oh well, the animation here is awkward and still, but it did its job. It's actually not bad, as I was focused on how it did such a great job in portraying the premise of the episode. So, I wasn't bothered by it, thanks to my focus being on Sora's character development and the emotional backstory of Marron. The pacing of this episode is really great, and I sure hope that next episode will be somewhat good with its pacing. It's another Sora episode for the next one, so let's get hyped up for something great in the next episodes to come!
