| Akane with the "I'll help you kill them" was great but terrifying lol. She seems willing to do anything for Aqua, and that can be a good and bad thing. I'm hyped the play is here already. I like how they skipped the rest of the prep and set up the next episode for the show. |
 |
| Are we already at the play? I'm always amazed at how often the sense of rhythm changes from the anime to the manga, but I don't remember perfectly, was something cut out? I expected this season to be almost entirely focused on the play. |
  |
| The play looks exciting. Let's see what kind of performance Aqua will give. |
| akane is so up rn but the bits with arima's teasing was great as well, and the transitions to the play were too good. put some respect on melt's name bru. |
 |
| I like the loyalty of Akane to Aqua even though they aren't the best couple. The rivalry between Akane and Arima is also growing, though it still has that childish fight vibe. The flashbacks are still intense. Looking forward to seeing how Tokyo Blade gets adapted. |
 ㅤㅤ I love Nao Tomori ♡ ㅤㅤ友利奈緒のことが大好きです ♥ |
| - Akane is on fire once again for this episode. Nonchalantly saying she'll support Aqua's efforts to kill someone is quite the affirmation of a life debt. - Ruby is back! Her naivety was on full display when she couldn't figure out what could a guy be doing with his girlfriend late at night. That naivety also might be why she immediately assumed that Aqua sleeping around with a high school girl would result in a pregnancy. I understand her concern. But Ruby, ever heard of contraceptives? - The thought of Aqua getting someone pregnant at a young age causes Ruby to have a black star appear in her eye for the first time. I see two sides of this. Firstly, I totally buy that Ruby doesn't want Aqua going down the same path as their biological father. On the other hand though, this might really be more of a sign of Ruby's jealousy... her brocon side surfacing. - The look on Ruby's face as she walks off to the bathroom.... If I did not know any better, that is the look of someone who feels she's going to loose the "best sister of the year" award to the likes of Yuki Suou from Roshidere. 🙃 - The rivalry between Kana and Akane is reaching a new stage. Surprised to know that Kana was actually the one who inspired Akane as a child to get into acting. - I wonder how will Aqua's panic attacks affect him once he gets to finally perform in the stage play.... - Looking forward to finally seeing the Tokyo Blade 2.5D stage play in its full glory next episode! |

| Yeah, that’s another great episode. We’re on a good roll now. My girl Akane is really solidifying herself as the protagonist of this arc. Really happy to see her getting so much love. Really do not think I her devotion to Aqua is healthy lol. |
| We're Ready for the Stage !!! so Tokyo Blade arc is nearly the end, and i can't wait how the Live Stage gonna be Animated. And we still see Kana vs Akane Rivalry still going, idk i just love these 2 encounter everytime lol. |
 |
| the best episode so far and quite possibly a strong contender for episode of the season. |
 "You said it yourself. You put everything you have on those scales of yours. Because if you merely followed others, while being lost and adrift yourself... without ever truly weighing your decisions and consequences... then you just may come to regret everything." |
| Can’t wait to see Aqua’s acting being animated!! |
| I can't wait to see how they'll adapt this. The play in the manga is so fucking good. |
 |
| Definitely my favorite episode so far, a riveting setup/transition to the opening stage play performance and it had a perfect little mix of everything - Akane showing why she's best girl, Ruby with her black star, Melt being setup to prove his worth and improvement as an actor (fuck that yellow-haired dude), the Akane vs. Kana rivalry, Aqua using his past trauma for his emotional acting...definitely looking forward to the next episode! |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Just another phenomenal episode. Highlights were the Akane and Aqua on the balcony scene and the Aqua's own personal hell in the mirror scene. |
| I remember reading this part in the manga years ago, they did not disappoint, mostly with the Akane ride or die line, the way her eyes shifted from a bubble like starry eye to a black hole was amazing, it didnt hit me as much as the manga but the scene where Kana and Hanekawa just casually disturbing Akane and Aqua and this was Akane practicing too, I know Kana's insecure when it comes to Akane but calm tf down bitch. Cannot wait how the play is gonna turn out! |
  |
| First things first, Memcho finally got more screentime and that made me VERY happy! =D Secondly, Akane showed her near unbreakable loyalty towards Aqua when he mentioned his hypothetical about his ultimate goal and she showed no hesitation in wanting to help him out. It makes me hugely respect her more, but also a bit more scared by it as well. It wasn't all seriousness, though. The bickering between Kana and Akane was simply hilarious. Kana is a master of being able to get underneath someone's skin and Akane was no exception to that. Their rivalry is entertaining, so I do look forward to seeing how these two will perform during the play itself. Same goes for Aqua. Thanks to Gotanda helping him out with the emotional acting, along with Akane's help, he is ready to give it his all. I hope this stage play is a huge success. =) |
| Best artstyle of the season. It looks so good! Loved every second of it. |

| Minami sure has some imagination about Aqua and Akane lol, from her perspective, it surely isn't out of the realm of possibilities. And her comment made Ruby kinda go dark mode, she got that trauma too, not big surprise. Pouty Akane is a real trend lol, with how much we've seen already. The moment where Arima was teasing Akane really gave hard Love is War vibes lmao, how nice. Everyone squaring up after that was a pretty cool moment too. Next episode will surely be a big one, I bet it's gonna go crazy. Good luck to everyone as one would say lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Ruby, what the fck was that about? I can't with these two roasting each other LMFAO What a fated rivalry indeed. Aqua tapping in into his Mangekyo Sharingan. I can't wait to see the Stage Play already, next week please come faster. |
 |
| ok, Akane is the best chick in this anime and Kana, the most annoying, but that's good, at least there are some emotions. In general Akane has always been a bit creepy but her reaction to Aqua wanting to kill someone was... weird xD Let's start the show, I hope we get some cool fight sequences since it's a shounen adaptation. 4/5 |
| After that yellow haired dickhead's provocations, I am now 100% on board the Melt redemption arc, he's genuinely trying his best now, show the people that you've improved, especially that fucker and in a more polite way, show Yoriko-sensei as well. Damn, dark star Ruby, it's clear that she got ticked off not because she's a brocon(?), but because she knows Aqua wouldn't do what their biological dad did to Ai. Man, I am so unspeakably hyped for this play, the build up at the end has me very excited. Aqua's gonna use his trauma to show them the actual expression of someone witnessing the death of their loved one. Break a leg ya'll. |
 |
| here we go!! i didn’t think the play was going to start so soon. i wonder how many eps they’ll spend on it i LOVE the dark moments in this show dude. they do it so well that bit with Akane on the balcony gave me chills the opening stays 10/10 season stays 9/10 for now. great stuff |
 |
| Next week CANNOT come fast enough |
| Akane cooking meals for Aqua and Director Gotanda, and through his acting, she understands him a lot more, as do Gotanda in the fullest of his ways. But Aqua's volition to find Ai's killer, Akane would gladly help him without any reasoning because she just loves and cares for him quite a lot, other than not wanting to lose to both Kana and Himekawa. Taking the revised script into account, it's emotional acting that Aqua lacks, and Gotanda is ready to help him out in any way possible. But Ruby hearing of her brother's antics from her friend Minami, she knows that Aqua isn't all that by Kamoshida being a player, but that Melt is literally leaps down than him when it comes to raw talent. That said, the rivlary between best girls Kana and Akane is quite the eye-opener, with the latter being inspired by the former to start theater, making a mocking out of Akane in a literate taunting contest of psychology and words. Jealousy isn't the only thing that both girls have for going against them, though they're like fire and ice even if they've acted together before. Even Himekawa is fired up because of Kana, and the sparring of the duos will culminate for the stage play to come, as the audience gets their front-row seats, anticipating nothing but the best. Akane is not just being Aqua's girlfriend on business terms, but she just solidified her position as a legitimate one this episode. That said, Tokyo Blade's Stage Play will be one scene of admonishment between everyone involved, as the curtain rises. |
 |
| Akane really grew on me this season, but saying that her loyalty is admirable is out of the question. That's obsession, not loyalty. Aqua and Akane's relationship is extremely toxic as it stands, though the dynamics are very interesting. Hopefully both Aqua and Akane will grow to love themselves a little more over time so their relationship becomes healthier. |
| fuck this !! next episodes gonna be banger !! |
| This episode is full of menacing aura... Ruby, Aqua, and Akane.... Akane is a great cook, that's what guy love about woman.. But for her to be so 'obsessed' toward Aqua... That would be a problem... She look like having a Yandere aura there. Akane will help the killing... And I think Kana will lecture Aqua saying it's a crime... Ruby remembering her mom/idol got pregnant by some unknown dude isn't she? That's why she is so angry... her menacing aura is scary since she's the most cheerful character in this anime. I still hating Kana personality there.... Guess she only show that to Akane.. Since she is so protective toward Ruby when a playboy add Ruby media social account. Aqua start turn dark at the end, Can't believe the stage play is going to air on the next episode... Can't wait to see the stage play *_* |
 |
| I just want to say that I watched season 2 just to see Kana in action and Dark Ruby in this season I am really waiting for more Dark Ruby in the future. Akane as usual you should be able to guess that she will definitely do anything crazy for Aqua and that's for sure, but putting that aside I'm really sick of Akane pouting every time lol its so cringe im sorry. Dark Ruby finally showed up but there's still more to come and I'm really waiting for that to happen. Seeing Aqua keep remembering Ai all the time and that will make him be able to act emotional makes me really hype, and seeing him facing the mirror makes me flashback to Eren saying Tatakae lmao. Kana vs Akane will be very interesting to see them perform in the stage play next week, it will definitely be epic. |
