Oh, I do agree, the couple of scenes in ep 2 with Mei speaking to Lu as CAPCOM and seeing Lu so reverential and emotional when others bring up Mei, that’s part of them, but while I usually encourage people to watch full shows to see interactions and character behavior outside the ship because I think the experience is enhanced, I couldn’t really justify suggesting the whole other 9 eps just for those few scenes. Not when it’s so little and there are so many scenes without even Lu.
Of course, if they want to watch from the start, that’s great, I’m not really speaking to them so much as the people who are reluctant to start at all or continue past ep 1, I think ep 3 is still worth the try, or even better, All the Lillies’ cut which includes scenes past it.
