brooo im actually so excited for episode 2 because (major akane banashi anime spoilers) i always thought the premise of guriko following shiguma because he thinks he's having an illicit affair is hilarious like help it's so unserious especially as an introduction to the shiguma school that akane is about to join. like you see shinta "die" and you know the story is about akane and then the next chapter is suddenly about neither akane nor shinta but this rando with a fuckass hair-do trailing an old man in broad daylight. the switch up was crazy I loved it then I still love it now and this time it gets to be ANIMATED omg
I’m soooo hype for episode 3 we’re gonna see Miku-chan and watch my girl learn her first lesson as a student which is so crazy when we think about it because kibataraki/“attentiveness” basically carries her through every challenge/achievement as she evolves as an artist and now we get the honor of seeing her at the very start of her journey. also her mom is awesome.
People literally don’t know one of Akane’s best moments in this arc is next episode they literally already made a figurine about it. I’m always so proud of her the way she takes in what she learns but puts her own spin on it is so endearing and fun to watch!!! 😭 and, I’m really excited to see how they adapt Kyoji’s rakugo to animation! He’s serious but very genuine about teaching Akane, it’s hard not to like him. Like, Kaisei lit a fire under her ass, but Kyoji is more “I want to learn from this guy!!!” Next story chunk really helps the audience understand “Shiguma school” and Akane’s place in it…ahhh….😭😭
AHHHH this next ep, ep 5, is kinda making me appreciate the pacing choices with Akane-banashi more. we're thrown into the excitement of rakugo, and then given a breather with akane's school/personal life. she feels a lot more alive/real as a character because of it! also, I think introducing Akane's teacher is a good follow up since we just got a glimpse of what Shiguma is like as a teacher as well. The idea of "responsibility of a teacher" is explored really deeply throughout the story, as far as when akane becomes a pupil of Shiguma, so it's really cool to get to see the first step in expanding that theme a bit more! !! very excited for tomorrow!!
guysss guyss it's happening bear-chan is literally tomorrow oh my godd........koguma.....!!! he's so cute,
Oh my god 😭😭😭😭oh my godddddddddddddddddddddddffdddddfdfddddddddddddddddddddd
my worstie is up to bat💖💖💖 omg i hate him😍😍🥰 !!!!! yayyyyyyyyyyyyy🤗🤗🤗 it's not rlly obvious how they're gonna splice the manga chapters from here....maybe some more anime-original content gets added to flesh out the characters which tbh i wouldn't be opposed to...! one thing i do appreciate about karashi is he's surprisingly genuine about his goals and puts in the work to achieve them !! He looks and acts like someone who shouldn’t be in a shonen rivalry but he issss you can’t escape lol. i also love his artsy aesthetic. im REALLY EXCITED to see how the anime adapts it for his rakugo!!
