Kageki Shojo!!

YES!

The ending to this series. It's a great ending, as we get to see Sarasa's version of Tybalt, the one she came up herself, something that she has been thinking over for the last 6 episodes. I do really like how the author writes subtle growth to the characters too, like how Ai is supporting Sarasa louder than before, and how Hijiri-senpai, despite still full of malice, seemed to warm up to the first years too, in her own way. Definitely a great ending to the show, especially after that ending where they told us why the character got the their place in the play.

We get another glimpse to Ayako's story. I do like that we get the star performance, but also have the underdog story too from her. The VA could act and also sing, which is such a wow factor. The story really does go all out, seeing a WLW representation here isn't shocking, but definitely welcomed. I also like how they keep ending on such a hype moment, there's always a hook for the next episode!

This episode gave such an interesting premise for the ending of the show where we get to see the first year try to get a part of a play. Seeing them wallow in their doubt, and having a moment of clarity is interesting. The visual at the end during Ai's audition play was awestruck, even if they're reused animation, it was timed perfectly. And also, prop to Sarasa's VA for having such wide range when trying to find the right way to show her auditioned character.

I'm feeling a bit mixed for this episode. Even when I know that this is supposed to be Sarasa's growth moment, I feel like this one handled in a rushed, even the animation is stiff, which reflected how rushed the pacing, and maybe even the production. For example, most of the moving parts are shown in stills instead, which is a bit disappointing. But for the character, it's always interesting to see Sarasa's mind that slowly matured, in a sense.

A great episode, as we finally get to the twin's story, something the series had brewed since episodes ago. I do like the mix as it's not just tale about inferiority, but also sisterhood, which is a bit rarer in anime. I like how it's resolved in one episode, since it was hinted at before, which I don't mind. That ending also showed a little hook that hopefully continued in the next episode!

To be completely honest, this is the relation I thought Sarasa and Akira would've had, but instead we're served the romance right here, as Kaoru's backstory. Kaoru's character is portrayed beautifully, complimented by Rikuto's story. And that ending is surprisingly really sweet, I do hope we'll see the two of them interact again!

We skipped past some time and went to the summer vacation, with the baggage from the previous episode will hanging in the air. I like how we get to see Sarasa interacting with other here, especially her boyfriend, which provide some great insight for her. We also learn about Sarasa and her boyfriend's backstory, which is nice. The story here is more light compared to other darker episode from this series. All in all, a great episode
