Disventure Camp S5E8 Review
Wow, I think this is my favorite episode of the season so far. I think it resolved the issues I was having with the earlier episodesโ my main issue being that there were just too many characters. Even if there are still eighteen players, it's a lot easier to work with than twenty-four, especially since the relationship are more established.
I love Dunia and Nura, and I wasn't shipping them until this episode. Even if they end up staying friends, I love the dynamic they've developed. Early on, Nura established herself as a lone wolf, so it was nice seeing her open up (or at least, try to) to Dunia. It made their relationship special, and to now see that she's becoming friends with Ara must be devastating (even if she's happy for her as well).
I love Ally and Benji, they're two of my favorite... Favorites. It's always nice to see them on screen, since they haven't been. And I love their relationship as well, they make so much sense as friends. I wish the plotline they setup at the beginning of the episode was explored more, but I'm sure it will be in a later episode. I just really want to see Ally be redeemed after how she left All Stars, and especially after she flipped on Aiden again.
Speaking of Aiden, God he's been annoying. Why did he become a villain this season? I don't hate it per say, but I wish they would lean into it, if that's what they're trying to do (though I don't think it is). I loved the moment he had with Evie, though, and I'm so glad she took her glasses back.
Why is Evie one of my favorites this season. Honestly, there are a ton of great characters. I would love to see Sam do more, and I'm still upset he revealed himself as a villain early on, but oh well. I'm so glad Natalia is teaching Fiore how do be a people person, it's such a cute arc.
Anyway, on to the main focus of the episodeโ the music. I thought they were great O.O I never expect much considering Disventure Camp isn't a musical show, but they really blew away my expectations. I'm glad the "musical episode" seems to be a mainstay. I don't know if the songs were original this time (someone let know), but either way they were cute. Nothing groundbreaking, but wow they can sing. It's nice to see that they're fully committing to the musicals and hiring voice actors who can sing (or just getting better at autotune). Oliwia has pipes!!! And her hair was gorgeous during the performaceโ all of the costumes were great. I love seeing characters in outfits that they wouldn't normally wear, but still suit them, as opposed to just putting them in whatever.
There were also some great shots, in a cinematographical way, though some were just funny. Here are a few that I really enjoyed:
Nura's awakening and Dunia's subsequent wink took me off guard, and I loved it so much.
I didn't realize I had that much to say about this episode, but I think that's it. I'm so glad this show is getting me excited againโ even if it took eight episodes.
