Yuyuichi said: 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 |
| I swear I’m not gay, but seeing Aqua smile was sweet. Too bad it barely lasted… |
| 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. |
| GOA & Abiko finally settled up, and damn Gotanda had something "sus" on one of his folder haha |
 |
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. |
 |
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".

That scene was too damn powerful. |
| The play will finally keep going now... Aqua and his past would surface sooner or later. |
 |
| 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 |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) 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) |
| Kana suddenly gave PTSD and very good advice at the same time. so in this episode we are told that Aqua is not allowed to have fun in his life he will continue to get that PTSD every time he feels happy. and also I like Akane who immediately matches what she already knows about Ai and Aqua's relationship, Akane if she becomes a detective she is very suitable for that job.  |

| Just wanna say that I love Arima Kana sooooooo much! 😭❤️️ |
| So Akane finally caught up with Aqua's story, I still like her better than Arima. |
| Yup, Akane figure it out. Even if she wouldn't believe it considering how tragic it is, that's exactly what happened and while Aqua doesn't know that she got it nor Arima that her method triggered it, the scene becomes that mroe conspicuous. On a brighter note, Goa is back on the job as the inexperienced mangaka realized that the task wasn't up to what she thought it would be. Creative jobs huh. |

| WHEN THE GHOST OF HIS PAST SELF APPEARED AFTER HE SMILED I GOT CHILLS. that was SOOO well done. I haven't read the manga, but god I bet those fans were screeching. That especially with the music and that amazing voice actor drew that from the page. I feel like you can't capture that depth of fear and emotion on paper this was an anime > manga scene aaaaaa Can someone whose read it tell me (WOTHOUT SPOILERS PLS) I f that's on the nose or not? |

on 
| Finally getting back to da original premise, no hate but these theatre stuff is kinda lagging/dragging like bruh we need more idol stuff or at least more murder detective stuff. |
 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. |
| The making of best girl? |
| this episode pierced through my heart |
 |
| Man, this anime is a big deal. Every time you really feel it. So deep and heavy, it's like perfectly produced. I'm glad they made this. |

| @Hoshi_Iishraq This! I was totally taken off gaurd by it and I think how it was done was brilliant as it filled me with the same anxiety Aqua was probably feeling in that moment. |
