So the final season wasn’t actually final after all.
This show was never particularly impressive visually, but the animation in this episode was especially rough – it was very noticeable given the number of still frames. But overall, it was a decent season. I didn’t enjoy it as much as some previous ones because, for me, a big part of why Golden Kamuy is so great is the comedy, and this season got much more serious toward the end. That said, I still like it, and I hope that the Runaway Train Arc will bring us the ending this series deserves. See you in a year.
