Seeing how far the genre has come since this dropped makes me appreciate the weird laser sword fight in the middle even more

The way they blended the fantasy elements with that old school sci-fi vibe is cool, even if the plot is basically just an excuse for the fanservice.

That space sequence had some weirdly smooth movement for a ninety minute ova and the colors were really popping

Episode Context

A melancholic yet intimate character piece, 'Cherry Melancholy' leans into the emotional awkwardness and vulnerability that defines early romantic and sexual experiences. Centered on Masahiko and Tomomi, the episode balances tenderness with light comedic friction, carrying the bittersweet tone its title suggests. Rather than playing things purely for titillation, this entry leans on the guidance dynamic between younger and older characters to explore themes of inexperience, mentorship, and the complicated feelings that accompany first steps into intimacy. Pacing is deliberate and character-focused, making it one of the more emotionally grounded entries in the anthology lineup. Fans of the series who appreciate the softer, coming-of-age register will find this episode sits comfortably within that tradition.
