| The part when Akane starts getting flamed still makes me feel sick after all, thankfully Aqua was there to save her! I can't wait for when it gets better |
 |
| Self deletion is usually the last resort, she didn't really hit rock bottom yet. As they say privilage is blind to those who have them. Akane just merely read up on social media more than she should have. Idk da fauck she was thinking when she was given good advice from other actual ecelebs and yet self punishes herself da fauck lolz But yea blonde lad found a good pawn. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Around the 12 or 14 min mark, I remembered some of what had happened in the manga and the episode became so much harder to watch. But good nonetheless. Very good. |
 |
| At first I was kinda skeptical about how Akane was seemingly looking fine. Then comes the last few minutes of the show. |
| waiting to see the ratings go up again lol |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| This episode was so good. Doga Kobo is really doing justice to this manga. The beautiful direction and music combined with Aka Akasaka's brilliant depiction of the brutality of social media made this episode one of the best I have seen in recent anime. The fact that this episode is based on a real story makes it all the more terrifying. Overall episode rating:-5/5. |

| Yuki showing off her acting skills and almost made others think that she'll quit the industry. Mem-cho treating everyone to a meal. Ruby jealous because she couldn't go or something. Ruby hating the soft drink and wanting to tweet about it but that would be a bad idea. The main stage light was focused on Akane this episode and how she deals with not getting a lot of air-time in shows, even to the point of the boss or whatever lashing out on the manager and Akane even apologizing and telling that she'll do better. Yuki being a total ass towards Akane when applying the thing for nails, and then being friendly with her when she got scratched in the face? Also if they weren't filming, how come the whole Twitter knew about the scratch on Yuki's face? weird. Akane accidentally scratching Yuki's face and the whole Twitter page goes after Akane for just a scratch and that's a lot to deal with for Akane, she still wants to fight hard while getting all those negative criticism on her. Ofcourse the gossips begin around school also and its a lot to take for her, she's sick of it. Her mom is concerned but she doesn't want to put her mom through all the stress. The negativity became so bad that Akane had enough of it and only found one solution do it, is to stop thinking and jumping off the bridge onto the highway (DON'T do this btw, seek help), luckily Aqua was there to catch her on time. How the tables turned this episode, wow. Btw this is random but I love how the show uses real social media names like TikTok, YouTube or Twitter. Don't give up and stay strong.   |

| Another extremely well done episode. Entertaining and emotional. I think I agree with the sentiment that this was the most impactful episode since the first. (And even then, it is kind of an unfair comparison since Ai's fate in Episode 1 had 70+ minutes of build up to that point; making us care so much about Akane despite he her lack of screen time up until now was truly impressive.) |

I said that Yuki was being a total ass when she applied the thing for the nails and then afterwards when Yuki got scratched in the face she was being friendly with Akane. Here I edited it for you specifically. |

| Best episode since the first. Akane is incredible. |
| I though she could think do this but, idk, for a moment I thinked the show could break so I did remember the prologue e know, they could do this now for impact and make young think better the shit they does on internet. Pedrada!  |
| i don't think I have ever seen a more real representation of internet in any other piece of media. shit like this is the internet at it's worst, and this was the first time I saw it be depicted this well... and because of that very fact.... it hit like a truck..... holy shit..... I was this close to bursting into tears at the end.... |

Read again. I said that Yuki was being a total ass when she applied the thing for the nails and then afterwards when Yuki got scratched in the face she was being friendly with Akane. She asked her how she was, did her nails and told her she would do her best as well. How is she a total ass? She acts friendly with her later because she IS a friendly person. Their job is quite literally looking good and selling a lie and Yuki simply told her she would be better. |
| Akane really had it rough this episode because of that misunderstanding with Yuki. Just all kinds of fucked up how the producers pushed a certain narrative for ratings even after the 2 girls made up and there was no bad blood between them. This episode did a good job of portraying just how much of a toxic cesspool the shithole known as Twitter truly is. People really get brave online behind the shield of anonymity. Pathetic. Again, hope the ratings were worth it because it almost cost the life of one of your cast members. Thankfully Aqua was at the right place at the right time. Also I'm glad they included the suicide hotline info at the end. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| This was really hard to watch, pretty much showcasing how much social media can weigh down your mental health and happiness and pretty much how your reputation to crumble in the span of a few hours literally from 1 clip, how apologising online does absolutely nothing and if anything makes the wildfire spread even more, The beautiful art and direction in this episode is absolutely impeccable, honestly better than episode 1, and perfectly captures how social media (or basically twitter) can be an absolute cesspool, all of this happening to akane just make me so sad but so angry and frustrated. Idk if i like this episode more than episode 1, but this is comfortably the best one SINCE episode 1 for me, and the anime suicide hotline at the end of it was very thoughtful and considerate, extremely heavy episode but so fucking good. |

She made it look like she wants to stand on top of everyone else and let look everyone else badly. Yuki can be a friendly person sure, but for how long? Also if your job is to sell lies then that's kinda crazy but alright ig. |
