Twin Spica

I mean, it was alright; the ending left me quite sad. I’d gotten attached to some of the cast by then. It was a beautiful, wholesome coming-of-age story, but it left too many mysteries unanswered, and its attempts to explain some things only confused me more.

It still left me confused, it didn't do a good job of explain Marika's situation but it did a very good job at explaining and justifying her somewhat antisocial behavior, which was actually very sad to see

Standard episode; they just progressed through the trial, which was nothing of note. It actually made the pacing feel so slow. What actually interested me more was Marika's backstory and Lion-san's story with Marika

They've been teasing this whole Lion San and Marika plot line for way too long. I just wish they sped up the mystery; otherwise, it was a fairly unremarkable episode, as it is a setup for the next

I wouldn't call it predictable cuz it was outright stated in the previous episode, but I didn't expect this delivery, and it also gave reason to Fuuchiya's complex feeling, really shows how familiar Asumi is with loss

Childish drama is expected; this is what the show is about, but it feels like whenever we have episodes about Marika like this one, they seem to get closer just for her to distance herself the next episode. It's quite annoying cuz it ends up retroactively devaluing the episode

Very good episode, was really focused on dealing with Sano's drama, so it was less emotional for me, but I really liked the ending and how they wrapped up the situation

The show would have been much better if it included bigger, higher-stakes conflicts to truly push character growth. While I understand that the characters are just kids, leaning so heavily on childish drama ended up dragging down the pacing. It would have been far more compelling if the series stuck to their journey toward becoming astronauts, especially after starting off with such a strong hook.

This episode has pressure, emotion, character development, and contemplation all in one. Still, it feels like it lacks a bit of a kick. A sudden, well-executed twist would have really elevated it, so I hope they're saving a big reveal for the last episode.

The idea of survival training brings a refreshing change of pace to the show, stepping away from the childish drama that dominated so many recent episodes. It also helps build out the world, potentially setting up the final conflict and leading to a great payoff.

I consider the conflict between Marika and her father to be fairly minor. Dragging it out this far is getting annoying, especially when the show should be focusing on broader character development now that we are this deep into the series.

I knew this might happen. It was obvious right from the moment he was introduced, and I've just been waiting for the show to finally reveal his story and give him his moment.

The pacing is quite sluggish once again. It feels like they are dragging out the drama longer than necessary. This makes it look like the conflict will just focus on childhood drama, and there won't be any real challenge if it continues like this.

I really sympathize with Sano-sensei in this episode. Constantly carrying the stigma of being on the "death team" would push anyone over the edge, and watching that pressure gradually erode his composure adds incredible weight to the show's dramatic tension.

The show is really well-balanced. I love how it mixes wholesome moments involving the younger characters with the political or malicious motives of others, making for a compelling slow-burn drama.

The episode excels at showcasing the enduring aftermath of the tragedy. Diving into Asumi's childhood not only explains her character and outlook, but it also amplifies the emotional weight of the entire series.

The pacing finally kicks back into gear with a new conflict. Though low-stakes, it keeps the story progressing and once again highlights the series' talent for handling emotional moments.

The pacing remains on the slower side, but the episode manages to hold my attention. Bringing in a new character introduces a fresh sense of mystery and curiosity that keeps me completely invested.

Love to see it, the return of One of my favorite characters in the show otherwise nothing important happens, loved seeing the kids trying together for the same endgisl

I really enjoy these episodes that show more of her days in her hometown; they do a good job of explaining why Asumi is so nice and mature, and they are always so sentimental.
