This opening isn't WOW but it is a vibe. Damn her friend just did a roast compliment I love doing that😂. That's sad the manager vanished and I'm not surprised Aqua became super depressed. Damn, bro really destroyed all of her chances of succeeding and I guess he loves her in his own twisted way. It's crazy how much she has changed at first she wanted to exploit these kids and get money from them and now she loves them as if they were her own children. I'm actually realising Ai dying killed a lot of people's dreams and success. Bruh his mother really knows how to break the tension of any scene😂😂 Oh she is all grown up now that is adorable🤣

I'm alr keen interested in the entertainment industry anyways so i'm definitely not dropping this anytime soon but overall, this is a pretty nice slow episode and the pacing seems to be just fine rn.
Oml the director's mom is just plain funny asf kept barging at the worst time like it's so relatable holy hell??
Also, the reunion with Kana is alr god tier cause Aqua answering her question sksksk and i rlly love her voice i mean i can hear a bit of Gon but they both have the same VA so heh.

A solid episode. I’ll admit I’m still waiting to find that “it” factor that will impress me with what the story wants to do. I understand what motivates each character after what happened in the first episode but if I’m being honest the tonal contradicting bothers me as well as the rather straight forward edgy tones and imagery; just feels too on-the-nose here. At this point I think the series is ready for a change.

I’m hoping this is still just the exposition — the where we are currently — stage and that we’ll soon get a better idea of where this is going.

Felt way to short. I need more. Ruby is so precious. Aqua, I like you but you need to be more easy toward yourself body boy. Our step mom is an angel and we stand by her.

OMG! An absolute banger of the OP visuals!
The mother of Kantoku was so hilarious!!!
5/5.
ED was very nice as well!
This might already be the best anime by Doga Kobo!!

Aqua and ruby have hoshino in their names but why hasn't anyone figured it out that they have same name as ai?
is it because hoshino is a very common name in japan?

I really like how Aqua and Ruby's personality are complete opposites. It's kinda like a twisted version of Mabel and Dipper from Gravity Falls.

Without ever reading the manga, let me just say the comedy of Kaguya-sama is really felt here, even in the first episode. However, unlike that, this anime is meant to be serious so I couldn't afford to have interruptive comedy during serious moments. I did not like the bit with the Director's mom, she always ruins the mood and makes it hard for me to take this episode seriously.

Other than that gripe, I say this episode is a straight 10 for me because of how in-depth all of our mains are. It's perfectly explained here and the contrast for Ruby and Aqua are again, the perfect combination to set-up a conflict in the future.

This is definitely going to be a strong contender for AOTY.
I wonder how much of the budget went into eyes they are just gorgeous.
Both OP/ED are bangers.

boring, forcing lame jokes or boke and tsukkomi wannabe
I knew that killing Ai killed this story.. and I was right as seen in this episode..
She could live, and he could still try vengeance on father as it was thx to him that his first life ended, now he throws away his current life not trying to achieve anything.
lowering my overal score from 9/10 to 8/10 lets see next episodes..

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Not quite getting the hate, ooooo, maybe these peeps think they would appear to be cool and edgy...lol clowns more like.

Anyway, lovely episode
Good voice acting.
Good use of visual story telling elements to convey the heaviness. Body language, tone of voice etc.
You already feel this is a drama. Psychological with lots of cat fighting soon. 

So I dont think much of the anime fanbase will stick around long lol. They can go back masturbating to Chainsawman because edgy.

I wonder why this is in even Anime form.

This should have been made into a live TV production rather than languishing in anime filth. Probably politics.

Man, this would be hard to watch on weekly basis.

The episode wasn't bad it just feels we barely scratched the surface.

Getting only 11 episodes of this will be pain.

One thing to highlight though, in this scene Igoma Yurie really sounded like Rieri. Felt like listening to Ai again. Sasuga Star child :)

Aqua faking and rejecting Ruby because he did not want her to be an idol was kinda harsh but at the same time understandable.


But hey Strawberry productions is putting another idol group just because Ruby wants to be an idol.


I guess Ruby and Aqua will be selected in the high school and Aqua for sure, and we finally get to see Kana after a long time.

It was fairly mid, near to low. But compared in contrast to the previous episode, the episode was a big letdown in terms of the development the characters went through off-scene.

Hoshino Ruby's development is very understandable because she did seem like the person who is enthusiastic and would want to join Idol groups and be like a star. It was understandable as well but I wish the show would lessen the sparkle in her character, because that level of enthusiasm naturally should, if possible, lessen over time.

Unrealistic development for Aqua as being an edgy guy who is traumatized into having one goal to kill the killer behind his mother's murder. I have worked with traumatized people before and I have seen them as well, but a person as he ages, should get over incidents like this especially if that person is a fully grown adult inside. His unhealthy obsession over Ai felt unnatural just as how his dismissing his previous life to his new one as the child of Ai felt unnatural, his obsession with finding the killer and having a mentally unstable sister complex is also unnatural. I will not say his taking steps like that to prevent his sister to join idol groups are unrealistic because people can dare to go far as that if they are determined enough but it is very unlikely for a person like him to even be obsessed about it from the beginning, especially showing a psycho-like persona of him while doing it.
