Synopsis

Restaurant worker Minare Koda has recently been through a bad breakup. Heartbroken and drunk after a night out, she rants about her misery to a complete stranger—Kanetsugu Matou, a radio station director local to Sapporo, Hokkaido. The next day at work, Minare is shocked to hear a recording of herself from the previous night playing over the radio. Flustered, she rushes to the radio station in a frenzy to stop the broadcast. As she confronts Matou, a chain of events leads to her giving an impromptu talk live on air, explaining her savage drunken speech. With her energetic voice, she delivers a smooth dialogue with no hesitation, which Matou recognizes as raw talent. Minare soon becomes a late-night talk show host under Matou's direction, covering amusing narratives set in Sapporo, all while balancing her day job and personal life to make ends meet.

Just when I thought it was going to be a mundane broadcast, the situation took a dramatic turn. This episode feels less like an ending and more like a beginning for some of the characters, especially with Minare slowly realizing what a career in MRS means to her. As expected of Sunrise Studio, the night sky is beautifully rendered. Given their work on the Gundam series, they’re clearly experienced in creating realistic night skies. Some radio jargon was hard to keep up all throughout the anime and there are some puns that would lose their meaning if translated. Was this an enjoyable watch? The anime and story itself isn't mid but making it only 12 episodes isn't enough imo, it failed to explore more on the other characters and if their goal was to make the viewers read the OG source which is the manga then they have definitely succeeded

I was actually expecting more from the "burial" of Mitsuo that Kanetsugu mentioned in the previous episode, but considering that doing anything too excessive could lead to legal trouble, I can understand why they held back. The whole broadcast was definitely bizarre, it even surpasses the previous broadcast in the level of being bizarre. There are still some gaps in the stories of several characters, not to mention the flashback involving Komei. Right now, Mizuho is the one I'm most curious about especially since she's one of those characters who wears her emotions on her face and has a terrible poker face.
