| AKANE BEST GIRL!! |
| I like the way how Akane was portrayed in this episode, the ending was sad and depressing but I loved it nonetheless! |
 |
| Damn realities in the shobiz again. Feel bad for Akane-san! Were here for you Akane-san! Thank you Aqua for saving her! |

 |
| I remember how hard-hitting these chapters were in the manga, and this episode somehow managed to make those moments of despair even more intense. Akane's suffering is sadly relatable to many people, which just goes to show the darkness of social media. Luckily our hero Aqua is here to prevent her from committing suicide, and save her from this torment. |
Farabeuf said: I dont think thats what the author was going for, in a general way, the anime is trying to expose the reality of the industry and how it really is behind the scenes, things like Akane's story shown here is part of what he's trying to tell us;Still very pleased that this story doesn't sugarcoat the enormous pressure these young people are under. Ruthless pressure from sick loser fans and management alike. Poor Akane. That said. I ask myself, Is she important to the overarching plot? Is she relevant as to finding out who the father/murderer is? |
| They stuck the landing. It felt a little different compared to the manga, but they did a fine job. |
| This episode alone speaks about the ill-fetched, egotistical-filled echo chamber, and gruesome place that's the internet and especially the prominent social media platforms. To many, this episode could be a wake-up call for themselves--whether they themselves realized it or not. |

| AQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! I was praying that he would show up at the last minute and I am so happy that he did!! Judging by how episode 1 ended, it really could have gone either way with Akane. Cannot wait to see how thnigs continue in the next episode! |
 |
| Yoooooo anybody else catch the suicide prevention lifeline message after the credits? :O First time I have noticed something like this in an anime :O |
|
| Sakura petals really are serious red flags. |
 |
| Wow, incredible episode, so much to reflect on regarding Akane's situation, just shows how heavy comments that people nonchalantly make online can HURT. Even as a manga reader and already knowing what Akane goes through, the studio and staff portrayed the scenes so incredibly, I felt so immersed and I'm so glad Aqua was there to save her. Such an incredible adaptation so far, 10/10. |
| It took me two hours to watch this episode. This Akane situation was so cringe I couldn't bear to watch it straight and had to take very long breaks to recover. Not that the episode was bad lol |
| Absolutely excellent episode, so emotionally gripping, this was one of the best chapters in the manga and they somehow made it even better; it's so rare to get an adaptation like this that takes top tier source material and somehow elevates it even further. This episode should be required viewing for anybody who actively uses Twitter, the world would be a far better place if it helped a lot of these people stop being such utter human garbage and actually develop a sense of empathy. You guys will see as the anime continues to progress through the manga and covers more and more various topics but I never cease to be impressed by Aka Akasaka's thorough understanding of the entire Japanese entertainment industry (including all these different little bubbles within it) as well as the social media influencer space. |
| As someone who has been severely bullied online, and someone who has previously attempted twice...yeah. This episode is accurate, and it hurts. This also may or may not be the only non-questionable thing Aqua has ever done (If he doesn't try to recruit her, that is.) I'm glad this show isn't afraid to show the more fucked up sides of internet culture. Someone give Akane a hug. (And in case anyone working on the show ends up reading this, although I doubt it: Thank you for putting the suicide hotline number in the credits. It means more to me than you know.) |

K-Pop? Bias? Nah man, we only know Ai and Ruby Hoshino in this house. |
| Ah, this episode is too painful. Never have I been so glad that I'm not using Twitter anymore. Ego search is just so bad. People always say whatever they want on the internet because there are no consequences. What's worse is that those who read take them so seriously, like what Memcho said. Setting that aside, Akane's so cute! It's "Otonari no Tenshi" Mahiru's voice! I feel so bad for her, so glad that Aqua came to save her. Memcho is also cute but Akane is just perfect. And wth, I got goosebumps, the ending always comes in at the right moment. |
| Yuri is Life |
| i was crying by the end, i was super worried about her but aqua at the end man he's a great dude i love it people really can treat others lives like playthings and its not fair just cuz your on the internet because there's a real human being on the other end and im glad they showed this |

Ryuseishun said: Good lord, in all my years of watching anime, this is the first time I've ever seen something like this dropped during an anime episode.  Thanks to Hidive for this. |
| Damn dude this was definitely a darker ep :( It's brutal how true this is unfortunately. I'm sure we've all left comments online that we think nothing of. I think to be in the spotlight, you really have to learn how to either ignore or not let criticism affect you. Because it happens to everyone with an online presence no matter how good they are! "Water off a duck's back" is an excellent ideology imo. Anyways, Aqua coming in at the end was great!! Loved it. I'm really glad she didn't end up killing herself. |

| Bruh XD I shouldn't find this amusing |
