This episode has been my favorite along side two for a very long time. I can hardly imagine it's 7-8 years old now. The music is fantastic. The upbeat bouncy theme is stimulating for me and I enjoy it. The voice acting, like all the other episodes, is high quality and admirable. The concept of a computer teaching ideas that most of us already understand, and considering the mention of a laptop already existing in the setting, our characters understand, is pretty fitting.

But this episode stands out from the rest because of what it is. Especially beside the later episodes. The "bad turn" is essentially the visuals and auditory elements becoming overwhelming. Nothing like the other episodes which take an extremely dark and violent turn. This one is more subtle, and our teacher here, I guess his name is Colin, isn't aggressive or trying to prove a point (part of why I adore him as a character, despite how he has no personality besides annoying). This definitely stands out beside episodes 2, 3, and 5. (1 not so much, and 6 didn't have much to it). The only aggressive he portrays is passive. Singling put a single character by continually ignoring them and interrupting them. His actions are manipulative. The dark turn still works, however. It's more like a world unraveling slowly than it is a violent scene. It takes a different track, and after this, 5 is straight up aggressive from the start.

And this is visually stunning as well. The animation is supposed to be bad, and it works. The den type room at the start is super aesthetically pleasing, and the computer world is exactly what I'd expect. Each of these episodes has so much effort put into it, and it starts with the props. Every little detail in the physical world here is stunning. I always have and I always will love this episode. 100% recommended.
