I’M DESPERATE TO KNOW WHAT THIS SCENE IS REFERENCING

HEELLLLLLP!!! HELLLLP MEEEE!!!

I’m kidding, but I am actually trying to figure out specifically what this one scene in Episode 1 at [15:57] Shikanoko is parodying/ referencing *(Emphasis on [16:01 - 16:03] with the head-swing being a call to something). I swear I’ve seen it before, but I can’t find anyone talking about or listing the abundant amount of references made throughout the episode.

I keep thinking it’s a reference to either Re:Zero (with Emilia saying something), A Whisker Away (thought there was a scene that’s similar to it but not it), A Silent Voice, K-On, Kokoro Connect, Little Busters or Tamako Market (it really sounds like VA changed their voice to sound like the inflection of Tamako too). But, I can’t literally go through every episode and movie checking for a 5 - 15 second scene, or it might be longer in terms of the origin. It’s on the tip of my tongue, and I’m sure I’ll feel stupid once/if someone points it out.

TL:DR: Anyone know what scene from a different anime in Ep.1 at [15:57], what Shikanoko is referencing?

Pretty sure it's referencing Kana Arima from Oshi no Ko. Both of those characters even share the same VA.

@Piromysl I did check every episode, double checking scenes with Kana, not really anything remotely similar to like an ‘apology’ or ‘confession’ scene or any similar movements.

So I don’t think it is referencing Oshi no ko even though they are the same VA.

@OmarSawaby I should’ve clarified better with that lol. The head tilt thing is synonymous with like a ‘straight man’ reaction or other sarcastic/ annoyed uses, but the way Shikanoko uses it I would say is more of like ‘facing someone to tell them something’ along with the build-up of her talking as if she was hurt, aka, painful love confession or admitting something. I meant the head tilt thing as in being symbolic of the scene (the hair fluttering as she faces us, etc), mb.

16:01~16:03?
I can only really think of like a girl getting rejected after confessing her love or something

15:57?
Feels like someone finally losing all their hopes and dreams after being told "you can't do it" by everyone around her?

I honestly can't see these 2 specifically referencing anything other than it being "getting rejected", "losing their motivation" etc
