| Finally some progress getting closer to the culprit. If the results weren't faked that is. |

| I love how my man Aqua has harnessed his suffering to act spectacularly. Kana's jealous look as Aqua was carrying Akane was so cute. Both Kana and Akane felt that their performance needs improvement and that the other is better. This is competition, which induces people to improve. Aqua found his half brother so it's possible the director is the father. Or a plot twist that this half-brother is adopted. |
| Best episode of Summer 2024 anime just dropped !! And the same OST that lead up to Ai's death back in episode 1 playing here hit me where it hurt! |

| What a cliffhanger! At first, I thought Aqua had actually found his father with how he was acting, but then it’s revealed that he has a half brother! The ending of the play was magnificent as well! I can’t wait to see where this story goes! (9.5/10) |
| First half - finally horrible theatre arc is over (although the part with Ai was nice...) But I hate how Aqua's character developement is never going anywhere - he basically oscillates between black eye and light eye persona all the time. One step forward two steps back. Second half - finally something unexpected. Will Aqua ever tell Ruby she has new brother now? Let's hope the next arc is more interesting then whole second season up to this point then. |
| Yes! Finally we’re back to the core plot. Real good episode. Very entertaining from start to finish. Kana can be so annoying at times. Her crush on Aqua is getting old. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| This is one of the best fucking anime episodes ever made. Everything from the story progression, animation, voice acting and production to the musical arrangement and the gorgeous visuals took my breath away. When did Doga Kobo become capable of creating such peak fiction?!!!  |
| finally some development on the revenge plot. great episode, that end though, just imagine going out for drinks and suddenly a co-worker just goes "oh yeah, btw, we're brothers" 🤣🤣 |
 |
| Never was a fan of the mystery side of the series so the revelation at the end felt too corny for my liking. The acting and showcase of it was heavy-handed like the manga, but still well adapted I would say and looks very good from Doga Kobo's side. Was I emotionally that invested? Not really, lot of it feels way too over-the-top for me. But not a bad episode. |
| Somehow Aqua deduced that Himekawa might be his half-brother and did a DNA test to confirm. I wonder if I missed any details? |
| Bro Aqua is literally about to find out who killed Ai..... I NEED ANOTHER EPISODE |

| A delay and only to get revealed to progress Aqua's revenge IG. |
| I forgot how beautiful oshi no ko visuals are there so perfect, But I am a lil mad how they showed the best part of the arc. They really drew a frame and did a zoom up, I can't believe im saying this since the adaptation is much better than the manga, but this time the manga was better. Other than that it was a fun episode, No episode next week is sad tho.... |

@Centago In S1,we know that aqua does dna test to see if someone is related to him or not in the industry.
And he is in this theatre to find someone who is related to him,so obviously it is 100% feasible.

| @Rexas420 Oh, gosh! Thank you for reminding me. I got distracted and completely forgot that Aqua had been gathering people's dna samples ever since he approached Masaya Kaburagi. |
| Kana's quick bruh face when seeing Aqua carry Akane came outta nowhere lol, made me pop a smirk. Of course Aqua isn't losing sight of his real objective, and it looks like it got a lead. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Finally we are getting to see something other than that stupid play. I can't believe that ending. What a twist! |
| So exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Awesome twist. And a fantastic episode. 5/5 |
 <-- click that egg to make your waifus appear in real life |
| When I heard the OST, I knew it was from the tragic moment. It was sad to see Aqua crying of joy, looking at her, alive. I guess miracles won't happen in real world. We just face reality and move on. |

| @Rexas420 Except he was going for his father, not for some random young actor. There was literally no reason given by the story for him to have Himekawa checked too, the only reason was author's attempt to shock his audience. Or are we meant to believe that Aqua is gathering DNA from all people around him constantly? Did he checked Akane for example? inb4 everyone are brothers and sisters... @camghost10 Except we already know who the killer was since the very first episode, guess you probably wasn't paying much attention. Also, be prepared to be disappointed, it's obvious he knows nothing about his father other than few details from before the children home. But he may tell him something about his mother instead. People fail to realize that while the mystery part of this anime is about the revenge, when Aqua gets there and finds out the truth he will get disenchanted for sure. It's not like Aqua's father ordered Ai's death as Aqua blindly believes, that one is pretty clear. And knowing Ai, they were probably in love with each other too with no ill-blood between them. Wouldn't be surprised if their father actually supported them all along and everything was just sad coincidence in the end. Also, good mystery stories introudces villain very early and let him interact with MC all along. How do you think Aqua would act if we learn Gotonda is his father after all? Would be pretty ironic, right? |
| lol no way. no wonder they look so similar. i thought its just how the chara designs are but nope. good shit incoming ig. |
 |
| What was Arima Kana drinking? |
| Thank god this theatre ark is over ffs. |
