This episode was really balancing on an edge. It was well directed and all, but Aqua is reaching levels of edginess never seen before, to the point it almost feels comedic.
On the other hand, the scenes with all our heroines were great. I laughed out loud when Akane was living through her internal cringe, Kana being teased was super adorable, Ruby’s suffering felt very convincing, and the introduction of Sarina’s mother was a surprise.
The next episode is going to be an hour-long special. I’m looking forward to it.
