EPISODE REVIEWS
We're back again with another episode that has very fast pacing. It feels like a lot happened! I appreciate that this ep focused more on Aoi and Ayase's friendship instead of their love lives. We can see more depth among the characters here. An okay watch to know them better!
Highlighting this episode through its portrayal of their complex friendship perfectly captured the relatable emotional depth and personal growth of the characters. Moreover, the situations in each scene seamlessly reflected real world dynamics, fully encapsulating the peer interactions, pressures, circumstances and raw emotions as they unfolded.
This was quite an emotional ep as the highlight was the friendship between Aoi and Hanabi. The tone was indignant with a little bit of envy, but at the end of the ep, all was good, and the misunderstandings were cleared. It was a realistic example of how children of their age act in this kind of scenario and I liked how it was put to be insightful in this ep. The animation kind of dropped on this ep, though.
