Breaking down episode 10 of Your Forma ("Footsteps of the Nightmare") and The Beginning After the End ("The King Defies")! Both shows keep the storytelling solid, but TBATE’s animation is still a weak spot. Your Forma gets deep with Harold’s haunting past and some wild Brain Dive visuals, though missing novel context makes it a bit messy. TBATE hits hard with Arthur’s bold stand, full of heart, but those stiff visuals hold it back. Join me for a chill take on what shines, what flops, and why both episodes keep you glued despite their issues. What’s your take? Comment below! #YourForma #TBATE #AnimeReview
00:00all right so episode ten footsteps of the nightmare gets real deep into that creepy nightmare of st petersburg deal that's been messing with harold lewcraft the android sidekick it's all about his past with folks like sozin and
00:13darya chernov and we see it through this intense brain dive where ekki kahida's digging through his jumbled-up memories tzola trotting her in st harold who's basically a sup smart robot and clashes a superfan to what jino studio kills it visuals those
00:30dive scenes are wild with neon colors and glitchy effects that make you feel like you're stuck in harold's head the music's dope too with creepy synths and heavy beats that ramp up the tension but here's the thing the anime skipped the first novel so if you haven't read it you're kinda lost on what this nightmare is all about the pacings
00:50a bit wonky rushing through big emotional moments like harold's guilt over sozin that could have hit way harder with more time also they toss in characters like darya without enough backstory leaving you wondering who they even are
01:04still the episode keeps you locked in with harold's subtle emotions and ekki kah's stubborn grit even if the story feels like it's missing some pieces rating seven ten over in the beginning after the end the king defies is all about arthur
01:19laywin stepping up big time showing he's not the cold distant king grey he was in his past life the episode mixes heartfelt family moments with some intense action as arthur faces threats that challenge his determination to protect his parents and little sister ellie pulled from the tapasweb novel the story leans hard into arthur's

02:34your former's footsteps of the nightmare is awesome with its trippy mystery and killer visuals but it can feel like you're piecing together a puzzle without all the bits if you haven't read the novels the beginning after the ends
02:47the king defies nails the emotional stuff making arthur's journey hit hard and it's easy to follow whether you're new or a fan
02:56tent it's amish keep the worst for those clunky wiggles just the matched story's vibe especially next to your former's sharp production still teabait edges out a bit with its tighter storytelling and
03:07moments both shows are all about standing up for what matters whether it's duty or family and they're definitely worth checking out even with their hiccups your former's got that bold brainy vibe while teabait wins with heart and clarity
