One of my favorite manga faces came from this chapter:
Today we got episode focused on Ruby and B komachi 2.0. I really enjoy that the characters aren’t just AI with puppets but actual human being with emotions and variable amount of EQ. The love is romance is braving underneath and every character has different emotional response.
A lot of musical bits were included in the episode:
A training montage:
Girls trainingA comedy bit:
Kana in pepper costumeAnd an clip from music video:
Kana with the moonI am not the huge fan of musicals but as a plot device it was really cool. In the background we see Aqua scheming, captivating and making strong connections.
As an anime-only, I’m kind of worried how OnK will finish considering we only have two more episodes left. Will we be left with a cliffhanger and an eternal 2nd season limbo? I can imagine that B Komachi wouls perform and Aqua may get a good lead regarding Ai’s killer in the final episodes.
I may just grab the manga afterwards to see how it continues.
The anime is only going to get to around chapter 40 while the manga is up to 121 so yeah the story is not even close to being finished unfortunately. But it’s definitely doing well enough to get a season 2 and beyond.
This episode really make Kana shines even brighter than before
“I want to be the bright white light that captures your heart”
…is how I interpreted the last line of her song (don’t have English subs, so my guess could be wrong - is there a translation somewhere?).
Can we all appreciate the fact that they made an entire 90 sec music and dance choreography for what is just 9 secs of clip in the anime. The amount of production that goes above and beyond the manga for this show is insane.
This discussion post probably isn’t going to be gaining any amount of traction, but I figured I’d make it anyway for the sake of it.
I am excited to for more episodes and already looking forward to the second season.
I have been watching the night of each release with a friend so it has been a fun communal experience too.
I think Kana is going to be the center after what the last scene showed us in this episode. Although I was rooting for ruby before that though.
The shirts in this show continue to be great
Lmao at Kana’s “baking soda” shirt
