| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, Minare and those tears. She should be responsible with her money. Curious to see how much her career will develop in the radio industry. I love how this episode balances the amount of realism but also some amusing delusions going on from Minare's point of view. |
 |
| I think this is probably the most slept on gem of the season. It’s rare to get adult casts with real adult problems. All the characters feel very real and I love Minare as a protag “Keep things simple like soup” Damn friend zoned my dude savagely Lmao imagine getting suplexed in your own house for being helpful Pretending to be drunk to be able to speak your mind and not get judged, lol. Well played Minare. Looks like we got a good friendship blooming Whew, that episode went by way too fast! Feels like a half length ep or something. Very fun as usual, can’t wait for next week. Also, need that ED on Apple Music ASAP |
 |
| She is the self destructing type when she's drunk lol. |
 |
| This is such a fantastic, entertaining show already, I'm super psyched for Minare's radio show. It's seriously silly just how low the score for this one is at this point. Guess there's not enough mass appeal for one of the season's best, most unique series. |
| Please the ending was so wholesome ^^ Also I ship Minare and that black haired guy like crazy idek why |
| Ah man I love this so much. It's so fun and wholesome. F in the chat for the ex-coworker tho. Also I realized I really like Mizuho's VA when she's not trying to sound young and ditsy (i.e. Tohru from Fruits Basket). |
| More time with Mizuho please !! She is really cute |
 |
| This is why I was so interested in this show. A look into radio, and it's well supported by wonderful characters to bot. Minare episode by episode is so energetic is really great. She already reminds me of Eiripyo from Budoukan. |
| This anime is hilarious. Why the low score? |
| Too bad that we didn't get a glimpse at Koda's quick simulation and poor Nakahara, he's barely good enough to serve as betabux. Also quite the funny situation with Oki. Learning about her true nature as a drunk pretty much destroyed Koda's world even more. Very entertaing episode again, hope this keeps going strong. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The production is fantastic, really a shame that Blade didn't got an animation half as good as this one (I mean technically, the amount of frames and movement). Did you noticed, the mounts? I feel that the mouths are a detail that they're paying spacial attention. You can really see and feel the characters opening their mounts to speak in every scene. You can see how the characters are feeling and express themselves by their mouths. I feel this attention even when their mouths are not visible.  In theory this anime should be as popular as Devilman Crybaby. It's a golden mine for discussion and memes, without resorting to appealing for extremes. But maybe it's a bit too "literally me" for that? Too real?  |

Well to be honest I haven't scored this anime too. |
Yes being a Radio DJ does depends on how much sponsor they can get through their ratings the higher the ratings the more sponger the DJ gets which also translates to higher pay. Oh, we don't get to see those white panties. |
| I've been enjoying this a lot. It continues to be so wacky and weird, but the energy just gets to me without me feeling annoyed. I dig this. |
| So she finally accepted to work at the radio station, I wonder what her program will look like |
 |
| This anime is a hidden gem that definitely deserves more attention. I really love everything about the protagonist. She's bold, loud and straightforward. She's the complete opposite of me. The ED is so good. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| I'm saying this a lot, but is worth repeating. Today is so easy to have access to practically ALL anime, the same very day they premiere in their native country, BUT! We are in dire need of better subtitles, really. On Yesterday's forum and threads I pointed some phrases that could hurt the story, and I hope the say will not happen in a big enough degree to hurt the comedy in Wave. But see this scene:  While they put translation notes in some places, in this one they didn't and most will not even see that there's a joke there. Know how lesbian anime is called "yuri"? Yuri is how the flower "lily" is called in japanese, and thus lily is a synonym to lesbian romance. Gay romance is "bara". Bara is rose in japanese, so... Minare added "roses" to Takarada's "dream space" to point that he meant a "gay space".

|
| That Matrix reference LOL okay then. Nakahara not even getting friendzoned. Just straight up left in the dust lol. Production of this anime is great! As @PaninaManina has already mentioned. I did notice the extra steps they took to make the characters feel more real in this anime. However I think the drop of blood in the sake in the beginning was just something comical and not actually Minare's blood. |

SoraSenpai said: However I think the drop of blood in the sake in the beginning was just something comical and not actually Minare's blood. Yes, not Minare blood. She stained her hand in blood the last time she entered Shinji's room while drunk. You'll see what's up with that mysterious blood in the 5th episode. |
|
| It's not exactly pleasing to see a gay man being portrayed as someone who goes around groping men and picking on women, especially because it's most certainly the only portrayal we will ever get here, but fortunately it wasn't anything bad enough to sour the whole thing. Poor Nakahara though. Happy with being treated as a convenient last resort. I know that Minare was drunk, but that wasn't cool. lol And I don't know about her neighbor. He has been helping her apparently, helping to take off her clothes while she is in a state in which she can't even remember about it afterwards because she has been giving him trouble. And there's that blood too. Anyways, he is "kind of" creepy. Oh, but now that she was fired she was more up than ever to working in the radio, though that timeslot is hardly desirable. Oh, and Mizuho was kind of funny and cute. It's kind of hard to notice with such a charismatic main character, but I feel like the rest of the cast is coming along nicely too. I wasn't expecting to see a Youkai Medal here either, that was gold. xD |

His bad luck was that this time she started undressing still inside his apartment making her feel threatened. |
|
| Every episode of this show is better than the last, you get so absorbed into it next thing you know the ED starts! |
| holy fuck she's also a ninja |
 |
| Wave continues to surprise me with its humour, I found myself chuckling quite a bit during this episode. I'm still enjoying how subtle the show is at inserting radio knowledge too. I'm also glad we are getting to see her career develop. We all know she gets a regular spot from the first ep so I hope they don't make the ending a full circle kind of thing and we see Minare develop as a character too. It did irk me how they practically ignored the ending of ep 2 except for the very first scene, seems very out of place. |
| Minare is so hopeless when drunk and always goes to a different apartment and give a lot of trouble to Oki! hahaha!!! looks like she's gonna start for real on the station since she's fired from the resto! she also got a good friend Mizuho who is NBSB! 5/5. |

I knew I wasn't seeing things when I saw the restaurant owner groping some dude's ass in the last scene of the OP when the first episode aired... turns out he's that type of gay. I like how they didn't think of him being gay as an insanely huge deal and just brushed off after a while, though I do think the owner shouldn't do that shit. So we find out that she isn't as clean of a drunk as she thought she was. That was really funny, especially with how she dealt with the dude when she thought he was assaulting her. I liked how they put a Matrix reference with there. I also thought it was funny when they mentioned the Chuppa Chups (or whatever brand the lollipops are) and the Yokai medal and had the censor it so that they wouldn't get copyrighted lol Anyway this is great so far, can't wait to see when she actually starts her own radio program. |

I really like this. More for the mature audience. |

Funimation is doing horrible job with typesetting and missing references though I won't blame them. Gintama got similar treatment from Crunchyroll. I will throw few references here which was posted on Reddit- |

| Easily the best episode of the series so far! I noticed the manager of the restaurant groping someone's butt from the Op so I'd a feeling but this was handled fabulously, I couldn't stop laughing. "Dream space of roses", lmao. Drunk Minare-san, seld-destructive type xD... Ignorance is bless, right? Looks like we'll be seeing the official debut for Minare-san's radio show, that certainly is something to look forward to! Minare-Nanba and Minare-Koumoto interactions are really fun to keep up with as well, looking forward to more of this! @Synchronisity "17:15- "Thanks Jupiter" - Jupiter is an import food store in Sapporo", thanks for this in particular! I'd no clue what she referred to that honestly so it was kind of awkward there honestly. |

BadChase said: Damn this show just gets better and better, yet at the same time it frustrates me. I do like it is taking its time to establish everything but I also really want to go on to Minare doing her Radio show. Why? Because this is only supposed to be 12 episodes long. If this was 24 I would love the pacing so far. But right now I am just so excited to see her do the radio show that it gets a little frustrating. You need to adjust your expectations because this is NOT about Minare actually doing her radio show in the studio. You'll see her doing this, but even when she is working for her show she does most of the work outside the studio.

I will throw few references here which was posted on Reddit- Good to know that people are making lists with everything they can notice, but some of the items in this list.. I don't think everything there needs a note. The "Thanks Jupiter", why was "Jupiter added? Doesn't she says "arigatai"? Where's "jupiter"? In my ideal world all episodes of everything would come with a better subtitle and a secondary subtitle with the notes. |

Oh, forgot about this one. Minare is calling him "nude/naked", "zenra" right? This joke is "typical her" because she calls him "zenra", the same wound, but with different kanji, and because only her can see the change she is making inside her head the joke makes sense only to her. In the official translation (that looks very good) she changes from "nude" to "stark", from "stark naked". |
|
| I love this more and more after every episode. It is a mistery to me how can the score of this be below seven after three episodes. It is so rare to have a decent show that is targeting adult audiance. BTW the guy was chanting the Heart sutra at the begining of the episode. |

| They drink as much as in Grand Blue anime. Love it |
| It was an okay episode, I enjoyed the first half more. I was wondering about that blood inside a glass or water or alcohol in her neighbor's room? |
| 臭い- |
| The anime just gets better. So much positive energy and charm. |
| This is starting to get really good! |
| An episode so light that time has literally flown away without my noticing it, enraptured by the misadventures of the protagonist and her raving speeches, there are many examples during the narration, it is useless to mention one in particular; even if at first that "assonance" with wine was somewhat strange and funny, I don't know why. Although the narrative is not as heavy as atmospheres, it remains fundamentally serious if we refer to the story: the protagonist is eventually fired and the speeches are not free from trivial matters, but the situation is managed so well by the protagonist that the most immediate reaction is to smile and be carefree. I look forward to the next episode. |

| Minare is totally bonkers but I think that helps add to her charm. Excellent show and story so far. |
