"Pure enough" closes the album with a completely different, softer mood. The comedy cues like "ギャグ1" sit right next to genuinely moody tracks like "ノスタルジックな回想シーン" (nostalgic flashback scene). There is a whole range between hacking tension, slapstick, and moments that actually hit emotionally.
Worth checking out for anyone who likes their anime soundtracks weird, compact, and full of surprises.
