Finalmente o motivo de eu acompanhar toda essa bagaceira apareceu: Aqua carregado com sentimentos de vingança e ódio
Convenhamos que esse tema é mais interessante que todo esse drama adolescente dos outros personagens lol, e toda aquela baboseira já estava me dando enjoo haha

Nah I don't blame Himekawa. Contacts are kinda weird, and I ain't want them at first. But once you get some, there's no going back, that's all I'll say lol. But yeah yeah yeah, everyone's had their time to shine, background characters included for some reason (not complaining), but now it's time for the main character himself, Aqua, to get his time in the spotlight. And some Arima... again ig too lol.

Damn though, Arima's mom is awful. She fr used Arima to chase her own old dreams and got mad when Arima's acting career struggled. Anywho, one of my main issues with this arc showed up in this episode, with me kinda finding it kinda cringy how they add shounen-style energy to the acting. Though, Doga Koba made it hella fun to watch, so whatever lol. And damn, I ain't expect for them to use that much blood wtf.

People will call it edgy, but it's anything but. It might be edgy, but it's more realistic more than anything. That entire scene though, Doga cooked holy fuck.

Play would end next episode, going off the pace they've been going.
@IzanaSolos I thought the blood being shown was in Aqua's head used to trigger his PTSD. The way it flowed didn't look like the way fluid flows in reality anyway, more jagged and chaotic.

@IbnAurum that is a good thought. Well said
But... basically he has now transitioned into a full fledged edgelord.
How could he have saved Ai. Thats floorshit right there

I apologize for quoting since I don't rightly know how to @. I can't comment on him edgelordmaxxing since I dunno the future yet, but about his inability to save Ai, it's less about what he could realistically do to stymie her bleeding and more about his irrational guilt at not saving her. My guess is that he feels that he's a piece of shit who couldn't even muster his past doctor experience to keep her alive, regardless if such a thing was medically plausible.

So yeah, it is 'floorshit', as you say, but you and I are not the ones in his head. He refuses to logically recognize that he wasn't in the wrong, and since his past life was worthless in saving her, he dedicates this one to atone for such a sin.

In the manga, I was thinking this is some edgy shit but now it's feeling a bit more on the tragic side. They have some good direction.

@IbnAurum once again i totally respect ur opinions as his acting could be interpreted that way in a certain light.
But how does that skibidi mother lover (literally too .. he had the biggest crush on his mom) relate to her in her past life in any way. Just cuz he had a crush on an idol he does he become responsible for any of her circumstances. Its like i started edging on a lady dianas death. And PS. He got done in by a hobo after barely 10 mins screen time

Fast forward to that gooning losers' reincarnation. He couldn't have done anything to prevent AI's death in any fing way possible. He can and should feel vengeful towards his father. But edging while acting. I mean how does it relate to AI. He is practically in his late 40s and he is still a narcissistic edgelord. The black star in his eye is a clear indication of him ascending to edgelord hood. Thats whale cum right there.

I don't know what to say at this moment, the show is on fire!πŸ”₯ The colouring is what amazes me the most but I can talk about other aspects too. Previous episode was mostly about Akane, while this one is about Kana. I always liked this show because even though there is so much characters that involves with Aqua, they show pretty much everyone's past which gives them a deeper meaning. I can't wait for the next episode...

Amazing episode!

Kana has found her way and Aqua has also "found his way". It'll be interesting to see how they adapt the next episode.

Keep in mind they have to do this over and over again instead of just once for camera.

Sooo did he actually bite him? Lol

Director seems like his only jobs these days are in JAV yet he is the most caring adult around.

I gotta say, using your anger and vengefulness to help you succeed isn't wrong, but holy can't say I'd want to be in them shoes.

It's Kana special episode. Sometime I hate Kana, sometime I love Kana. Lol.
This episode is full of AquaxKana. It is a beautiful scene of them both.
I never wanted to wear any contact lens. It's so creepy to touch my own eyes. Haha.

Director Gotanda out there helping/saving child actors left and right. Man, I had no idea his role would be this relevant.

Cool episode. Kana shone so much the animation started looking blurry and it seems Aqua has learned to use his PTSD to evolve into the ultimate edgelord. Impressive.

Poor Kana I can't imagine the pressure she got as a child actor by her mother... and now we're getting Aqua's berserk mode related to how he feels towards everyone regarding Ai's death... we're seriously getting some deep development for most characters during this stage play, it's just great.

Kana thought that she was handing over the stage to Akane. However, it turned out to be quite the opposite! The things Kana does on stage actually make her stand out even more, shine even brighter. And, like the last 2 episodes, we were shown Melt and Akane's back story, now it's time for Kana's back story.

Himekawa throws ad-lib and Aqua picks up on it and throws it at Arima. Arima’s past is shown and how she went into survival mode and did bare minimum to exist in the industry. Aqua pushed her back to her true talent, and Akane is fangirling 🀣.

When Aqua’s scene came, Aqua channeled his anger and hate into his role. Aqua is determined to defeat Himekawa, Arima and Akane to get the recognition he needs in the industry, to get his revenge. Acting will be the tool to his revenge.

The way they put Akane/Saya's death very realistic is a bit too cruel, huh. I'd definitely get a panic attack if I were Aqua.

This season was wayyy better than the first one! Loved the animation, the visual representation of the actor's feelings and how human each of them were. Finally getting to see the unhinged dark part of Aqua was really exciting, and I can't wait for the next season!

Kana giving it her all and shining so brightly even Akane had to start fangirling out again! With so much weight and responsibility on Kana's shoulders. I'm glad she can still find joy in acting.

Aqua may not be using the healthiest mindset to fuel his acting, but he's giving off the performance needed to portray the grief of Toki. This was another gorgeous episode. I'm super pleased by it!

Kana suffered a lot in her childhood, there were some pieces about it before but this episode gave even more about that.

Damn, Aqua is legit terrifying!
