EPISODE REVIEWS
After Meiryo’s performance, the pressure starts piling up for Chika and the others, but their friendship keeps them going. We also get a few backstories, with Takinami’s being the most impactful. The final scene is super tense… feels like something serious is about to happen!
A strong buildup to the final episode, with a really good balance of humour, anticipation, and a beautiful soundtrack leading up to the festival's final moments. Loved seeing more of Takinami sensei and Sentarou's backstory.
Balancing this episode's narrative with witty and hilarious scenes makes the plot highly entertaining. This approach is exceptionally effective when combined with the deep, subtle backstories of Sentarou and, most importantly, Takanami-sensei, as their individual backstories provide significant insights into their characters and motivations.
