Not so strong as 1-st episode, but was okay, Not so many things happening in ep 2.
I thought the Arima girl will see him as a rival or enemy but here i thought she was more like a girl who may fall for him.
Don't understand why there aren't discovered, i mean they were found in Ai apartment and Aqua was questioned, so how come nobody know they are Ai's kids ?

Episode is great - it still has that charm of the re-encounter between Arima and Aqua I initially felt when I read the source material. Opening and ending theme songs are still rocking and depicts the dark premise and mayhem that will unfold during the course of this story. Looking forward to next episodes!

The OP is a banger lol. I saw it on YT first and it has a crap gonna views too lol. The ED was great as well.

Welp now we have normal-lengthed episodes, this felt short because of the first episode lol.

The mom barging into the room is relatable lolol.

The eyes were so pretty and sparkly during the zoom ups which was cool, and once again, it was hard to find any issues for this episode. If the anime keeps going like this, I may have to put it higher on my top favourites lol.

Never ending plan to watch list...

Great OP and ED and learnt lots more about Ruby and Aqua in the present day -Ruby is becoming an idol, Aqua is hunting down his father. Brilliant episode overall. If only every episode was as long as the first...

I knew it would hold up that 9 after episode 1. Pretty nice episode; Aqua is so changed by Ai's death that he wants to stop Ruby from being an idol and potentially meeting the same fate as Ai. Beneath that hard shell of a personality he got after the events 10 years ago, he still cares about his sister. Aqua's eye mark turning black sometimes is a nice touch. It's easy to tell how Ai's death has changed Aqua. Hopyfully this anime can hold up that top spot all the way to the final episode.

Dang Aqua needs to chill the heck out, with Ruby wanting to be an idol. I understand investigating an underground group. But literally destroying her chance at a legit group is way to far. The OP and ED absolutely slapped BTW. The editing, pacing, visuals, and song in both of those were incredible.

Good episode which serves as the opener to the new arc following prologue. The funny bits and serious bits both fit in without either element feeling forced.

Nice buildup of the story. The opposites of personalities & perspectives of the twins are interesting. Seeing Ruby wanted to follow Ai's footsteps and Aqua is both protective of his sister and on the route for revenge for Ai is truly building up an interesting story. Will make you look forward for the next episode.

It's hard to follow up the first episode. Animation was a tiny bit crusty at parts but the characters and story is so engaging and I like hearing about the entertainment industry. I also like how Ai is still kind of a character that almost literally haunts the show. I think they designed Ai's death panel in the last episode to be scary/creepy like that so that when it comes back at points in the show it will keep leaving an impact. That is literally the last way that anyone sees her. Kinda messed up. I am excited to see more.

Great episode, I'd say I loved it just as much as the first episode. I don't know if I would've gone through the lengths Aqua did and obviously in the end it would hurt Ruby if he somehow succeeded in doing so, but I can't blame him at all for trying to prevent Ruby from becoming an idol since I'd do the same. Aqua seeing his mother die like that right in front of his eyes obviously must've been traumatic as hell. But wow I still can't help but admire the character designs and color palette and everything - the twin's eyes, especially, look so beautiful. Really looking forward to the next episode!

A lot has changed in the 10 year time span.
Ruby is still fixated on following her mother's footsteps
Aqua became the director's apprentice/editor. Also he is being overly protective of his sister. Couldn't blame him cuz his mother got murdered by a stalker. At first, he took measures to prevent his sis from becoming an idol. But he decides to hit the middle ground of letting her become an idol in a safe and trusted agency such as Strawberry Productions. He is sus of other talent agencies with shitty management and low pay.
Also best girl Arima is back!!! She's charming as ever.

The second episode is a lot slower and tamer compared to the prologue which makes sense since the series is still in the process of setting up the story.

Another good episode, I like the dynamic of telling the story, they take the initial plot of the episode and carry it through to the end while developing things for later 10/10.

The ending is great!!!

I love that even when handling a "serious" story they also put in some comedy which is very good, I'm already looking forward to the next episode.

for the anime only beginners, the episode was probably more boring than the first episode, but compared to the manga it was extremely well implemented.
I particularly liked the presentation of Aqua and his teacher liked the director, it became very clear how their relationship developed over the time-skip.

I only started watching this anime because of the hype it was getting.. I still don't get it. It's just an okay anime with nothing special about it, so far. Also, this is not really something to criticize, but the way the eyes are drawn sometimes make me dizzy, why the literally starry eyes? and one eye doesn't match the other?
