The complaint I wrote in the thread for episode #08 (the lack of stage depth) was mostly resolved. Much better about it.

During this arc, some have derided "Ruby as a supporting character".
This is not only due to the structure of the animation.

Even Aqua, who is sensitive to the surrounding relationships, is missing Ruby from his perspective and consciousness.
He has been believing that the revenge is a clandestine confrontation between only him and the mastermind who is responsible for Ai's pregnancy and death.
The composition of his perception begins disintegrating. Unbeknownst to him, Akane and Gotanda already have some insight into his intentions.

The storytellers had set up a staged misdirection to draw the viewer's attention to prominent figures like Kana and Akane, to incite the viewer's "My Girl" controversy, and divert attention from Ruby. This is one of the reasons why the entire “Tokyo Blade” arc was needed.
For those who were only interested in the revenge drama, it's a shame they didn't fully enjoy these narrative structures.

And another incredible episode. Aqua’s acting was incredible, love all the little details of everybody’s reaction of the show and stuff like the Author talking to the Sweet Today Guy, Kana being drunk of ginger ale, Kana’s reaction to Aqua carrying Akane, the beautiful animation as always and seeing Ai again was amazing. It was a flashback but still. Right now I really hope that she’ll actually return like in the Opening. And the reveal of Himekawa and Aqua being related was really shocking to me. Really hyped for the next episode.

Aqua and Ai was such a sad scene, but in light of that, it looks like Aqua has another family member in the form of his half-brother Taiki 🤔

Aqua became such a good actor... thanks to the terrible memories of Ai.... and also the play finally ended..... starting the investigation of aqua about his father....



I wish Tokyo blade was real so that I could watch the play for real because it looks so good with all the incredible cast and mind-blowing story....

I surely did not expect the anime to be so good considering the 2nd and following episodes of season 1, but damn this season has been a banger.
They way Aqua asked the director about the past of the Lalalai group seemed a bit off. It was potrayed so well that he had a plan all long. That accomplishment

@Komlan_6 I don't see how that's random at all, the entire point of the story is him tracing his bloodline through the entertainment industry, it fits right in

I have not read the manga this far ahead, so I am curious to see where the plot goes from here.

Watching this arc has made me miss being on stage so much: everyone's shining so bright during the ovation!!

Anyway, Doga Kobo really went wild with the actual stage play portion of the arc by adding lots of anime original visuals and I'm here for it. THIS is what it means to adapt a source!

was not prepared for Ai screentime.
Ruby looked completely wasted riding on her back, so cute.

A shame to see nobody was there to cheer Aqua up, not Ruby, not Akane ..
To think he has to go through this for an entire month..

What an end!

Wait, Saya-hime comes back to life because plot? Man, I sure didn't know Tokyo Blade's story was this corny.

And that "we have the same father" revelation at the end came so out of nowhere lol. I see... so Himekawa was a plot device all along, huh?

Decent arc overall. First episodes with Abiko's introduction were a pain to get through but the episodes dedicated to the play ended up being fairly entertaining. Especially the ones focused on Melt and Kana.

Yes finally my favourite part - the secrets! but why the killer is still not explained and shown.. was AI killer captured by police or not? don't want any manga spoilers, was it in anime?
It makes it kinda strange that first he want to get revenge on his father and not on the killer..


I suggest you to rewatch ep1s1.

If you just want to know, what you’re supposed to know at this point of the anime:

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

What an episode!!! With the The Tokyo Blade Arc is now over, we move back into the main story of finding Aqua´s father.
What?? Himekawa and Aqua are related? Damn I did see a few similarities between them, but I could have never guessed they were related.
Ruby seems you´ve got an older step-sibling. I wonder how things are going to develop after the cliffhanger.

Damn Aqua's feelings in the stage play compared to what he felt regarding Ai's death was just beautiful and clever as a comparison and to enhance his acting skills...
And that ending... wow, they share the same father???
