The Episode Review

Ivy and Sora go on another journey in episode four. She gathers monster snake meat, valiantly provides the authorities with important information, and grows even closer to Sora than before on her quest.

The episode is lighthearted, but it’s also somewhat gloomy. The episode’s elements complement each other, thus it’s neither too heavy nor too light. In the show, the portrayal of resilience stands out as the one truly admirable quality. You admire the protagonist Ivy for persevering through adversity and you root for her to do well.

While the episode’s plot isn’t outstanding, there are parts of the show, like the character arcs, that are well worth praising. If you’re looking for a light-hearted, yet inspiring show, this one’s worth watching.
