Peak Wednesday is back!

Good thing that both Abiko and Goa finally got along quite well and were able to work together effectively, it was heartwarming to see them laughing together. It's obvious that a more direct line of communication has resolved all issues.

Now that the script writing is complete, it is all up to the actors. The actors will bring their full potential to this well-written script. If the stage-play fails, the fault lies with the actors this time.

The method of acting that Kana told Aqua about can be quite unhealthy.
God... the ptsd scene was well done... the animation... they cooked!
Seeing Aqua's reaction and the flood of sad memories returning, hit me hard.

And Akane pieced everything together and figured it out. Understanding Aqua's situation, she quickly embraced him. It was a heartwarming scene with Akane wanting to support Aqua.

This episode goes hard. Thanks for the meal.

Akane long hair suppremacy.

Too bad Akane cut her hair now. She looks terrible with short hair. Only Kana can pull that look off imo

Wow! Kana unknowingly pulled the pin on a grenade 😳

Now knowing Aqua's feelings when he lost Ai made me understand his thirst for revenge. He blames himself for not being able to save her, I could almost feel that PTSD myself...

Lucky for him he has Akane, she's a big brain, but her heart is really big, she has a lot of empathy.

Now imagine what will happen with Aqua on stage with Akane being aware and the ability to trigger him.

First really good episode of the season because it showed more of the characters rather than just the media industry

Kana, this may not be the flex that you think it is.



Also, we as viewers know there's nothing sus but imagine if someone were to go through Gotanda's PC for whatever reason and come across a folder named after a minor.

Delete this! AND this! How about this?! Broski straight up deleted the entire script. Still a great episode though towards the end.

I felt really sorry that Aqua only uses Akane for his own purposes, especially given how kind hearted she is. :c

That PTSD scene got everyone including Aqua off-guard, I believe everyone who watched episode 1 ending still has the PTSD of Ai's death.


Arima Kana trying to help Aqua in emotional acting back-fired as she reminded him about Ai's death.

Oh Man this scene where his spirit speaking to him brought me chills.





Akane connecting all the dots was something from the word "Ai".

The play will finally keep going now... Aqua and his past would surface sooner or later.

I have no idea how the manga went, and I don't want to know it. But I oh so hope she gets a fair chance..

Finally something about death of AI... that names above Aqua and Hoshino on the pc must mean something
even if that part with the play was good and short this time, the previous episodes were kinda boring..
also good that Akane solved the puzzle ;d

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 ;)

Such a heart wrenching episode! The visuals for PTSD and showing what happens whenever Aqua just tries to be happy was terrifying. I still got goosebumps. And I’m really impressed that Akane put everything together. (10/10)

Great visual depiction of PTSD! This episode helps bring back the main plot of why Aqua's even doing all this in the first place. We mustn't forget the big picture that it all started from Ai's murder.

Phenomenal episode, what they elevated from the manga is crazy, that was a sparkle in the eyes, how perfect, incredible, I was moved and I'm very hopeful for the end of the season
