A Mortal's Journey to Immortality New Season Premieres: Do You Choose Membership or Wait for Free?

I wouldn't rush to buy a membership right away. I want to first check if the pacing and animation of the new arc are to my liking, so I don't end up wasting a membership after dropping it in two episodes.

Do you guys directly buy membership to watch updates early, or just slowly wait for the free episodes for non-members?
