With just one episode left, I am calling it now: THIS HAS BEEN A MASTERPIECE!
Yup, right on the mark! Masterpiece, indeed! I’m definitely going to add this to my favourites list first thing after next week’s episode, provided it’s as good as these previous episodes of course.
As an anime-only, I couldn’t have asked for a better RomCom this Season! It’s been absolutely sensational from the very start and surely the ending will be even better, can’t wait for it already!
Chika and her sisters are off travelling around the world whereas our two main leads are eagerly waiting for the other to take the initiative. Lol, how typical of these two. Some really nice direction and display of their loneliness this episode in particular. Lol, got to say though, Hayasaka sure has it tough. Kaguya being completely rookie level with technology, to the point where she’d even match that of an old man in a candy shop(this reference was gold by the way), was hilarious to watch first up but obviously not so for Hayasaka! I just have to wonder if she managed to finish to bathe in the end. Speaking of bathing, loved that little intense moment of her changing the water to her requirements. Moving on, Lol @ Hayasaka’s “That tactic has never worked. Not even once!” just made me go ‘Shots fired! Shots fired!’ and lol’d. Great stuff! Final bit of the section showed her typing in ultraspeed, I wonder what that was about. It didn’t seem like she’d sent those to Shirogane as he would’ve reacted otherwise for sure or did he just think of it as scam and shut it down immediately lol? Whatever the case, I’m really curious. And then we returned back to this later after the little Chika arc and it just got even better! More loneliness and devastation, as such. Kaguya’s plans all reliant heavily on Shirogane made for a good laughter, Hayasaka is just too good lol. We even got a return for Kei this episode and her little cameo just went to show how desperate Shirogane had become by the end of it all, great addition! Had he headed for school right away, would he have made it in time though? If so, well sh!t. It’s so sad and heart-wrenching how they missed each other like that, and the soundtrack just made it all the more heartrending. Splendid stuff!
Meanwhile, Chika supposedly wanted to return to Japan, unlike her elder sister, because of ramen and her friends. And dat Ramen segment xD. We got a glimpse of her in her swimsuit earlier at the beginning but nothing can possibly beat that Ramen prepared attire of hers by flipping her bangs to the backside of her head lol. I feel bad for that middle manager, he was just battered by Chika’s brilliance xD. “She’s crosses the walls of womanhood.” and just the whole buildup with the classy use of art/animation was absolutely phenomenal! A-1 Pictures just flexing on their animation is just a brilliant treat week in and week out. Props to the VAs for all the three Characters too, they just made the whole scene which isn’t particularly funny a gold comedic moment. The ‘Boom!’ when Chika dropped those coins, lmao totally didn’t expect that. I’m very glad that my parents are sound asleep by now or I would’ve been in big trouble for sure. I wonder if she’s the fourth anonymous Ramen Master now, for some reason found it crazy hilarious how the fourth was anonymous - it’s like it was meant for Chika literally xD. And finally, finishing it off with Chika bewildered by the thumbs up, Great Stuff!
By the way, what on Earth is Ishigami up to xD? He’ll be alive by the festival time, right? Let’s hope he will, lol. And that little jelly Hayasaka scene was so sweet. I’m certain it’s not all just a “As if”, hopefully she’ll be able to meet her fated one too and I’d totally love to see that! And we totally feel you Hayasaka, if any of the two just mustered up enough courage to say those words they’d certainly both be happy and so will we lol.
More importantly, that little story after the ED. Damn, Hayasaka’s sharp comment on Kaguya’s father was spot on! Kaguya was so looking forward to this and yet, just for a simple “Oh, you’re here?”, way to go father. Loved the psychology in this bit though, she’s sure had it tough too. For one thing, I’m totally hyped, more so than ever, for the little firework display but I’d be totally crippled if something gets in their way again! Here’s to hoping we finally get to see them meet at long last!
As such, hyped for the last episode! Can’t wait to see it end on a delightful note! Season 2 better be on its way too and I’ll pick up the manga right after regardless though, it’s just too good to wait for months and months! |
