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.

This episode highlighted how far Minare's has come. Her adlibbing skills know no bounds, as she was able to continue with her live show even in the midst of a calamity. I don't think this was a good ending for the show, though, because it didn't really tie anything up. Still, it's a funny show with amazing art.
About 1/2 of the episode was dedicated for Minare's radio drama, so in terms of plot, there was little progression. But the radio drama was interesting, and Minare is truly talented with her craft whether she admits it or not.
The radio drama they did today was quite interesting. I noticed a pattern: Minare's shows are centered on horror/thriller, but I'm often surprised when the anime gets spooky since the show's general tone is comedic in nature.
We're finally getting closure on Minare's past relationship that has been mentioned all throughout the show! It's nice to know that she learned her lesson, and she was observant enough to notice the red flags. A great good for her, to be honest!
The coincidence in this episode is coincidickling. Finally, Episode 1 of this anime made sense since this episode was a continuation of that. All things are going well on everybody's end, and this episode was nothing but positivity.
The plot twist in this episode is never like any anime I've watched before. So many things happened all at once, and I do feel sorry for the person receiving the consequence of all the Minare's actions. This was an interesting episode, and it was not clear what anyone anticipated the show to be.
I think I already said that I'm starting to understand this anime's plot in a previous review, but now I'm getting confused again. I was expecting this to be a slice-of-life comedy anime, but why am I suddenly scared heckless at night watching this episode?
I didn't really expect to like this anime, but it's starting to grow on me. Minare's talent as a radio host is truly amazing, and I think her natural yapping skills will bring her to good places.
I'm still having a hard time trying to gauge the new character's agenda, but she does seem like an interesting addition to the cast. This episode also set the stage for Minare's radio debut, so it's quite exciting!
We got to see more of Minare interacting with the cast, and we can see that she's a likable character that most can easily get along with. Seeing her growing friendship with her colleagues was cute, and I hope it continues that way.
Just when I thought I was finally having a grasp of the plot, the cliffhanger colored me surprise! I really have to praise the unique art, it has the style of serious but comedic seinen anime. It's such a breeze of fresh air to watch.
I genuinely have a hard time understanding the flow of this episode because it's non-linear. Animation-wise, the art style is unique and as realistic as an anime can be. Although I could barely understand what was happening in the first episode, it did pique my interest to watch more.
What a beautiful episode. I love how everyone are ready and prepare, it takes a lot of courage to in that industry, very artistic approach. I love the scenery and how the pacing in this episode are perfect. I was touched by the message for the DJ’s. It is amazing episode, it gives that cliffhanger vide something to look forward to. The dynamics of the character it creates an open -ended type of question. I enjoy this anime so much, I am hoping for S2!
I like the dramatic approach in this episode the redemption arc is awesome. The graphics and effects are ironically funny. Minare is really good at what she do and that facial expression looks real, like it’s a real human reaction. I like how the team are starting to get long and the circle is now bigger. I had fun watching this episode
This episode is really entertaining to watch, I love that dramatic atmosphere qin the radio station, the story is really unexpected and very adult. I love how they come up with that sounds, and tone. The animation and effects are great, I love the scene it is really interesting and satisfying
What a strong woman Minare is, i love the masculinity. I love how things just ended, she is too merciful with him, she should cut his.... Nonetheless, I love this revenge arc, the tension is wild, the graphics are great, the drama is awesome, that's face smile is really plastic to it's core. This is a really satisfying episode
The pacing is perfect for me, the storyline is amazing as well and the framing is great. I love the staring and hidden meanings in this ep. I love how Minare is really like a pro and adapting to her career. I love the idea of the siblings they are quite cute to look at. The tension is still existing and giving
WOW, that is some episode, a lot happened and I did not expect to see this in this type of anime. It is amazing how broad it can get, but really interesting, I love the tension, the rotten smell, the psychological attacks, this is some serious plot. I like it !
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.
