This is what perfection looks like

From the onset of the episode you can tell its going to be different. The way the writers intertwine the current events happening in the show with the Bunraku theatre telling its own story, is truly unique. I have never seen anything like it.
From what I can tell, the writers put a lot of effort into portraying the history of Japan in the detail of the show. The theatre's details are very well done.
On the other side, getting to see more of Mizu's adult backstory, which was prefaced in an earlier episode, worked well to add character depth. Mizu is a deep character and the events of this episode clearly, in my opinion, help to justify her outlook and goals.
