This episode was better than the second one, I liked the character development here and it was a good episode but left us on a cliffhanger. 5/5 still, yeah

Im liking this episode. Aqua is defending

"Don't give up after failing just twice.
We'll be able to do it next time.
Failure is the stepping stone to success."

The cut off near the end of the episode is amazing, this next episode is going to be great if they translate the manga well!

Pretty close to the manga I'd say. There are a few misses with the adaptation imo that the manga did better, and certain scenes get a lot more airtime in the anime relative to the manga (the bad dialogue in Sweet Today goes by way faster reading it), but in general if you're not interested in drama / mystery in show business, then I'm not sure it's for you.
Mild description of what to expect without any specifics:
I am very interested in the secrets of show business- I especially loved the section about Kana explaining the power of connections to Aqua.
Somehow, though, it feels like the pacing is off, like they're juggling the drama and mystery of the murderer plus the slice of life of showbiz quite badly.
It might be because it's animated, so I was considering taking up the manga instead.
Thank you for replying!

Still early too tell since its only ep 3, but it seems like interest is slooowly falling off.
Veeerrryyy slooowly.

To be honest I dont even know why I'm still watching. EP 3 didnt feel better than ep 2, but not necessarily worse either. At this point I'm just indifferent.
Like I think after ep 1 i'm just desensitized to the ep.

Anyway, the gist of this ep is, ruby has almost 0 screentime, so kana has to carry the ep, meanwhile aqua continues his plotline of whatever it is. No cliffhanger this time.
The problem is it's too early to tell if kana is going to remain in focus or if she'll drop off in relevance. Aqua just doesnt seem enough to carry the show, even with ruby (or the other way around, ruby herself alone is also not enough and definitely not with just aqua)

Kana to be honest has an interesting character, if I wasnt so upset already, but at the same time I dunno, I keep hoping for some (good) surprise but the anime as a whole seems to be in the opposite direction, they just keep you barely invested in the series so you dont drop it but at the same time.

Like at this point
Like
Trying to put it into words just makes it harder
Like i can see the artistic parody comedy angle they are trying to go for but im not really interested or a fan of it

Also i definitely wasn't expecting to hear "loli senpai" here, of all things
I mean im sure you could go on a long rant about acting and what not but like

I wonder how much if any has been lost in translation, it feels like some of the scenes the subtitles feel a little lacking
You know a series where they go through stuff like this (like shirobako but turned up to 11) could be a funneh way, an anime about anime

I dunnno man
The real question is just how much longer they can drag this out
Also, this episode was 25 mins long?

EDIT: I forgor to mention but just to say it, the hype backlash is real, people kept hyping this up as some amazing anime and...ep 1 aside, ep 2 and 3 have been soso at best.
The anime can "look" good, but the content and the characters is just eh.

ep 2 felt a bit less good, but that might be because it came out right after the really good episode 1. This episode has got me intrigued for the rest of the season and I will be watching episode 4 as soon as it comes out!

I hope this isn't gonna be one of those shows that drags on forever without an ending (cause I could see the producers milking the story and put a million potential suspects in there just to get 50 seasons). Sure it's not the best show I've seen ever but compared to the rest of the stuff that has popped up this spring it's captivating me and I enjoy it.

Kana is so cuteee ❤️

It's kinda weird to me that Aqua don't give a single fuck about his death and past life lol his past body still isn't found, he wants revenge for Ai but he should also want revenge for himself, after all their killer was the same dude manipulated by the same person, but he doesn't mention anything about that.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

27 yo + 130 days anime watched + 30 days manga read + 5300 forum post and obsessed with sucking Aka's **** is calling me a no life I just cannot even fathom you people.
Kaguya is still good but this isn't, probably more Mengo's mentally ill brain fault tho, can't blame you.

I have to say this Kana has grown on me. I'm glad that she has grown up. I still believe it would probably be best for everyone involved if Aqua would just let the past go and try to enjoy his life as it is. He criticises Ruby for becoming an idol because its what their mother wanted, but like, while he might not be pursuing acting to please Ai, spending 4 years from the age of 4 trying to crack the code to your dead mum's old phone isn't the hallmark of someone who is well adjusted... I kinda hope that's the direction this anime goes in bc really, that's ridiculous. Also I wonder what 45510 means lmao?

Aqua spending 4 years constantly without break in order to brute force unlock Ai's phone just shows how far his obsession goes, We also get to see Kana's perspective of the entertainment industry, Her trying her best even when no one is there to appreciate her. It all just makes this a very interesting episode + there's also Kana's cuteness and Aqua's rizz which is an entirely different matter.

Anyway I'm hyped to see next ep
