| *dies from peak character development* Man, what a good episode. Probably the first one I enjoyed from beginning to end since S1's premiere. It was so nice to see Melt shutting mouths with pure hard work. His voice acting and acrobatics during his performance were simply stunning. Though it's a shame he didn't get the star-eyes after all those abstract animation sequences. Oh well. |
| Wtf was that animation!? Hello!? Who on the production team is a Melt superfan!? Dayum. They really gave him "1 minute" of sakuga. |

| Absolutely peak! |
 |
| "Absolute peak". I hate using Gen Z slang, but it feels appropriate after witnessing such beauty. Melt's development was executed perfectly here in my opinion. He didn't suddenly become an amazing actor, but still managed to elevate Kizami during his most important minute... with a purely breathtaking performance. I love how Aka gives side characters their chance to shine. And of course, Doga Kobo's incredible animation for Tokyo Blade blew me away. Everything feels so much more expressive than the manga. Last two episodes were already 10/10 to me, so I'll go beyond and give this one a 12/10. |
Somebody went off way too hard on this episode! LET'S GOOO MELT-KUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10 episode! |
| I remember reading in the manga and I loved this scene so much, and oh my god they absolutely cooked on this, the ost coming in with the animation being perfect. Dude is a goat I lowk feel him too. 10/10 episode |
 |
| LOL the best, most inspired and greatest animated episode of this season was about... - a side character the audience normaly shouldn't care less. I don't think was a good ideia in the plot, but surely the ANIME STUDIO did some magic. OnK is a fantastic piece of animation |
 |
| Holy fuck they really put it their all into Melt's scene. |
| Animation went WILD during Melt's scene! Such a powerful episode. |
| Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Melt's character has come so far. I'm so proud of him. He put his entire heart and soul into that performance. So good. So happy for him. I teared up as well. |
 |
| frustration?! A feeling carried over from personal life to the stage. kekeke |
| The animation in this episode is absolute peak. The way they portrait Narushima's growth is simply amazing. |
 |
| He got better ๐ |
 |
| Uh-oh. Something's wrong when a couple minutes dedicated towards a side character whose name I couldn't take seriously and previously didn't even think that much about is the best part of this entire series for me. I felt more for him than I did for Aqua later on (doesn't help that I already feel so underwhelmed by the Ai/revenge storyline prior to that). ๐ It's possible that the anime elevated Melt's story with how it executed it, but it was very impressive and compelling nonetheless. They went above and beyond on the animation - nothing else can even compare - truly showed what this medium is capable of and more. That was "Mob Psycho 100" levels of visual storytelling. It's like what episode 11 of "Oblivion Battery" was for me (by making a show I wouldn't otherwise think much on more memorable than it would be otherwise). Except even better. Not surprised at all that this episode is the one that's gotten the most comments so far. How can you stay quiet after watching something like that? |
 |
| They have no business going this hard this episode. Awesome. |
| Damn a whole episode for the stage play and they surely did great, Melt's development at the end was especially good after getting a bit of his backstory and how he feels seems like he surpassed himself, the animation at the very end though... that was stunning!!! really loved it |
 |
| Melt has surprised even Yoriko-sensei with his efforts to get better but I hope he continues to try to improve and does not get complacent. Knowing that you are the worst person in the room at something really sucks and is a big motivator for those who have not given up on themselves. |
| Bro, the studio went nuts with the episode! I felt that in my soul. |
 |
| Just like what the others have said, this is definitely the best episode so far! The day of the Tokyo Blade stage play has finally arrived! They have all practiced many times, how will it turn out? Let's see! Anyways, there is something we can learn from the success story of the actor who plays Kizami, Melt Narushima. Melt's career in showbiz began with a show called "Sweet Today". There, Melt was considered a "burden", a "destroyer" of the story. Therefore, he was actually "hated" by various parties, including the author of "Sweet Today". Maybe we are often considered bad by people around us. We shouldn't immediately accept our fate that we are bad, etc., but rather we should use it as motivation to be better. During half of the Tokyo Blade stage play, Melt was still said to be acting badly. Well, this poor acting is actually used as an advantage. He did something "mind blowing" so that people's views of him turned 180°. This is something we need to learn from Melt! |
 |
| That visual depiction of Melt's journey, thoughts, or whatever you call it was amazing. Loved the part where he got sucked into space, depicting the period where he truly delved into the world of acting and discovering his own liabilities. Beautiful redemption episode |
 |
| Wow. Just... wow. I never knew I would be invested in a side-side character like this, but here I am. And all that magic with the colors and abstractions? *chefkiss |
 |
| Tokyo Blade play began. Raida discusses about Kizami with Lalalai’s Kaburagi, as he suggested him, and mentioned that he would be growing up as an actor. He has high expectations of Kizami. Kizami took advice from Aqua and did his best for the one big scene. Everyone got impressed after his performance, including Abiko. Kizami thanks Aqua for it, saying it was fun. But will Aqua find acting fun? |
 |
| A well-executed and moving episode as we see the play come to life, and seeing Melt's development was very impactful! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Oshi No Ko is so good at making me care about characters I didn't know I cared about. |
| The Tokyo Blade play has started and it's going really well! Melt's character arc has been done justice and all it took was 1 minute of his hard work in mastering that frustration to wow both the audience inside the show and out! They really gave melt some shine with how insane the artwork was. Very unexpected but very awesome! |
 |
Wow! This episode was absolutely breathtaking, I kept rooting for Melt. I loved seeing his character development, especially considering Aqua gave him that little push to enjoy the play himself and to preform better as well. I truly enjoyed his little “arc” I had my scepticism for this arc I be honest but it’s been truly incredible so far! I am really excited to see the rest of the episodes, by now I’m convinced those will be incredible too >.< |
