Unfortunately, after Sota’s confession, we return to Meteora delivering a long explanation of how things work and what’s to come. Which, while informative, may bore you into a nice nap.
After dancing around, if not outright avoiding the topic, Sota finally goes into his part in Shimazaki’s death.
While Altair makes an appearance and there is a lot of action, something seems off. For even with another character’s life threatened, I find myself back to the complacency state of episode 4.
Magane [note]I know I’m inconsistent when it comes to her name[/note] takes on Meteora’s role of being the talkative one. But, at the very least, she knows how to remain interesting as she goes on and on.
The majority of the episode focuses on everyone learning Altair’s name and background. However, alongside that, we have Mamika confronting Altair and Chikujoin interacting with Sota. Alone.
Outside of the battle continuing from the last episode, there isn’t much going on with Re:Creators right now. Though with a 22 episode order, that explains why we end up with more exposition. Though thankfully not from Meteora.
A new creation is introduced and it seems this one is neither a hero nor anti-hero but a straight up villain.
Okay, I’m starting to think episode 5 is when you can firmly say whether a show is worth watching or not. For while I was ready to drop this show, then they decided that Meteora has explained enough of what is going on and we can FINALLY move forward. So now I’m back in love.
Meteora’s expositions continue to dominate the show and lead you to question if this show is even worth continuing?
Most of the episode deals with Meteora theorizing how the creators can change their creations, creating quite the boring experience.
As expected, the characters born out of someone’s imagination wish to confront their creators. However, two new creations get in the way of what would have been our first heart to heart chat.

The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
