EPISODE REVIEWS

Another great episode. Episode ini menggali karakter Kaede lebih dalam dan menjelaskan lebih jauh bagaimana Puberty Syndromenya mempengaruhi keluarganya. Aku sangat menikmati episode ini, terutama bagian kebun binatang. Perkembangan di bagian akhirnya juga sangat mengejutkan, meskipun sebenarnya hal tersebut sudah dibicarakan di awal. Mungkin karena perawakannya sangat berbeda dari yang kubayangkan.

Everyone talks about the Mai finale and it deserves everything people say about it. But I cried harder at Kaede's arc, and I think it's the part most people don't talk about enough. What destroys you isn't the big scene it's one small sentence about pandas. Something she said she wanted to do someday, so minor that you almost forgot it. And then that sentence becomes the most precise, smallest possible way to say that someone real is gone, and no one around Sakuta even knows to grieve her because to everyone else his sister came back.Sakuta breaking down not with a speech, not in a moment designed to be moving, just breaking down because what he lost isn't something anyone can see or validate. The person he built a relationship with over a year is simply not there anymore, and the one who replaced her doesn't know him. That is a specific kind of grief this show treats with more honesty than most anime would know how to. The Mai arc that follows puts Sakuta's love to an actual test instead of just declaring it. Both arcs together make this the most complete emotional journey in modern romance anime that I've seen. Don't skip to the end.

What a cliffhanger! It's the second to last episode and I honestly am anxious and excited at the same time to see how it all ends (S1). I hope Kaede will be ok...she needs to be protected at all times!
