I thought this episode was a jumbled mess. I understand the Uprising arc wasn't popular with a lot of manga readers and the anime in particular sells itself on its beautifully animated action set pieces, so of course they'd want to speed up the pacing so they have something to show off at the season premiere (namely that action set piece at the end of the episode), but this felt like it shoveled through the manga chapters in record time.

Granted, I'm familiar with the manga and Uprising is my favorite arc. From an anime-only person's perspective this might have been a kick of adrenaline ("All these things going on, wow!"), but I felt like the episode was just lightly touching on a bunch of things without going into depth with any them. Basically, it was the equivalent of eating a lot of sugary snacks rather than having a hearty meal. Tasty, but not very filling. I would have liked something more focused rather than trying to do too many things at once.

I was trying to think of a Featured Article and Featured Image for the other thread, but I couldn't because nothing stood out. No one character had a moment (barring Kenny's introduction, and it's too soon to feature him) and there weren't any images that really stuck out in my mind except for one of Kenny that had credit text all over it.

And now the very long spoiler musings:
