Havn’t watched his videos in a while, he has interesting takes though

I tried to read the nanga, I tried to watch the anine. I just don’t like 100GF.

I was really not expecting the show to make him a better actor by bringing out his hatred :o
E: scratch that, I was expecting it a bit, but not for him to not enjoy acting anymore

haha yes

I’ma anime-only, and yeah, it did catch me by surprise x)

This show is fucking amazing, I’m almost in tears in the first half and then super hyped up by the bomb they drop at the end. Loved this episode !
I was like wtf are they showing us when Aqua was in the toilet but by the end… yeah…

I wonder if he doesn’t risk revealing himself though

I’m fine with both, but probably rooting for Akane thanks to recency bias 🤭

In the last quarter of the episode I kept wishing “please don’t end now, please don’t end now” haha
At least we might get a full “action” packed episode next week thanks to this cliffhanger 🙏

@hitori_gotoh@ani.social I’m liking the OP more and more :o

Aqua is being setup for a good performance once again, we’ll see if it happens or not.
Something seems to be brewing with Melt as well.

I feel like there aren’t a lot of episodes that advances the plot these days… And I can barely follow the story anymore T_T

Good points.
For Kaede, probably hinges on wether they make her come to Tempest.

I wonder how she will react tho
Or will he even tell her ? Plus, can he still cast it on her anymore ? Or is it just a long cooldown per individual.

Yeah didn’t watch the OP until now to not get spoiled by tipycal anime opening bullshit. And it was pretty good yeah.

Damn this episode hit hard, especially when aqua told himself to stop enjoying himself. This might humanize for a lot of people watching this show.

Akane might have made some big progress with Aqua this episode, especially now that she somewhat knows his past. However, something of note, the person who appears most in his “happy memories” is Kana :))

I’m getting real tired of these long misunderstanding stories which realistically be resolved in a minute of talking. They are not credible at all.

More than week late answer but, I agree that the fault fell upon the middle for how the script turned out.
The only problem I had with the mangaka was how she railed on the scriptwriter without even talking to him directly. But I can somewhat understand where she comes from if she thought all her feedback had actually reached the scriptwriter.

It’s still hard to not be frustrated though isn’t it ?
Because you have that other version in your head of the same story but done better (in your own opinion at least).

Great pick for the thumbnail 😁

I wonder though if Aqua would have liked a normal theater play as much, because a play of that scale is probably less than 1% of all plays. Has that play given him enough taste for theater to watch normal ones ?

You had me in the first paragraph, I was already getting ready to write an angry review :p

But yeah you’re right, it’s kind of the fault of whoever directed Sweet Today’s live action. But good on Yoriko-sensei for looking past it and not being a bitter & toxic mentor \o/

Yoriko-sensei and Melt interactions are so funny tho

Yoriko-sensei was really the best this episode.
I still think it was really assholish of abiko-sensei to rail on Goa like she did but I understand her perspective a little more. It will be interesting to see how she reacts to Goa’s previous play, might get an apology scene next episode.

The author and all the middlemen are at fault. Goa is GOAT, he was actually hurt by what abiko-sensei said, with all the work he seems to have put in.
I wonder who will save the day if anyone will.
Aqua ? To get closer to Lala Lai ?

The music at the end was hype for some reason.
Liked the gradients on the hair of Akane and the girl next to her.
