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.

Great way to wrap up the play and this arc in general. And what a sweet cliffhanger as well. Excited to see what they do for these last few episodes this season.

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???

Akane immediately trying to find places to go to was funny.

Kana changing her tone the moment Aqua says he's going was cute!

It was lovely and sad to see another snippet of Ai, when she went to see Aqua's acting in a movie. Totally love her. Oh how different the world would be if she had survived.

Aqua is using his past memory to trigger his fierce emotions. Industry people have hopes for Arima and Akane. Abiko is thoroughly impressed.

After the play, he is shown to have a list of DNA samples and its results, while Ruby kept searching for him.

Seems like they need to repeat the play for a month.

Aqua tries to get information from Kindaichi Toshiro but he’s tight lipped on the past. Himekawa gets him drunk to spill the truth, but he got too drunk.

Aqua learns that Himekawa is actually his and Ruby’s half-brother, and reveals it to him, to know more about their biological father.

Now that's a cliffhanger.
I wonder if he means they have te same biological father, or perhaps, his father is the other's adoptive father.

Akane and Kana are the perfect rivals for one another. If only they knew that both of them thought the other one had the better performance.

What a touching Ai segment. If things ended up that way, it's easy to imagine how this show would be a more traditional slice of life.
