Episode 8 preview is about Hoshino and others going to an aquarium, which is a anime original event. Seems like the fandom at twitter spilt into 2, the gatekeeping side given up on faithful adaptation whilst the casual side mostly excited to see where’s the series going.

What your thought about this? is it a good or bad decision by Yostar?

Technically speaking, the Aquarium thing is from Hoshino's relationship story
I think from a writing standpoint using the relationship stories(I assume at least) to show the relationship between sensei and the students is not bad but one would have to wait until the execution happens.

Hard to tell when the episode isn't even out?

If it give us either character development or characterization of either Sensei or the Abydos girl I don't see what is wrong with it except for messing up the pacing since there has been a lot of "slow" episode recently when the early episode are all bombastic with action anywhere.

This could either be a good addition, a completely inconsequential and boring episode or mess up even more the characterization of either Sensei or the Abydos girl.

Tbh they are adapting the entire abydos Volume (that’s part 1 of BA’s story), which isn’t that long, so them adding this would probably even out the length of the season so that it finishes roughly the same.

Also the aquarium is a part of Hoshino’s bond story, so I don’t see why people are complaining.

bad decision why? it takes away what made the relationship story a relationship story. if theyre gonna use Hoshinos bond story then use it properly not this... now it feels diluted and honestly spits on the original story

thats exactly the issue it takes what makes a relationship story special and throws it out the window

one on one interaction used for bonding with students individually instead its being diluted and crowded and feels insulting to the original point of the momotalks

and the anime is incredibly rushed already so they could have got rid of this episode and slowed down the pacing of the others
