Am I the only one that thought that, even aside from the animation being somewhat different (which isn't inherently bad - there have been a LOT of animation improvements and changes since the beginning of the show), Lapis was portrayed a lot differently in this episode?

Part of it is the voice. Her voice did not have a consistent tone, and at certain points she sounded nothing like in earlier episodes. Not that we've had that much Lapis dialogue in the past, but still.

Also, the characterization was a dramatic shift. She acts very differently than in past episodes - part of this is the absence of danger (or the other Crystal Gems) - but even then there were some very dramatic characterization differences in the way she approached things. Much less mysterious and aloof than past episodes, considering how quickly she changed to smiling and transitioning to an almost Ghibli-esque flying sequence.

Not a huge deal, but it threw me off nonetheless.
