ACCA Episode 7 Review:
If you haven’t watched ACCA Episode 7, spoilers ahead.
This show is a joy to watch. After weeks of holding off on giving us anything solid this week seems all about having characters just dropping major reveals casually like it is nothing into their everyday conversations. We don’t learn everything, and there is still the question of whether what we are being told now is absolutely correct, but it feels like things are coming together in a big way even while we still have quite a bit of story still to come.
Nino is out of sorts for a lot of this episode and I would have loved to have known what was going through his head while taking photos of Jean eating with the King. It was more or less at this point that I decided the royal connection was absolute rather than just a theory and I’m glad that the series decided to confirm that later this episode rather than dragging it out any further. There’s probably more to the story, but what we get this episode is quite a satisfying bit of intel.
Mauve finally talks to Jean again and doesn’t say what we would have suspected. In fact, she’s the one who clues Jean in on why so many people seem fixated on him.
Despite having so many reveals, this episode doesn’t seem to make the mistake of giving away the whole game. It is too early yet and once again ACCA proves it knows what it is doing with the pace of these reveals giving us just enough when we need it without throwing their whole hand on the table.
ACCA is available on Crunchyroll.

One thing that ACCA does superbly well is control of the pace. Everyone is on the edge of their seat wanting to know what’ going on but even after major reveals the show keeps steady on course.
Glad to see we were right about the royal connection!
That was kind of nice to see that this show isn’t going for random twists but has actually put some thought into where it is going and even if the audience aren’t certain of the direction, we can make some educated guesses.
