Akane and Kana's scene was dragged a lot, but in a good way that is.

I can't help it, I find it too ridiculous how they depict lil kids to be capable/smart enough to understand how the grown-ups world works while in grade school. And Akane starting to learn psychology same age too.

Anyways, another great episode. We'll see if Kana can let go of her past in the next episode I assume.

A solid episode. A really good performance by them. We got to see Akane and Kana's backstory and how they came to be. Don't be mean to little Akane, Kana-chan. But, I've personally seen such staged auditions. They're so fake and painful. I felt that part.

Holy shit this show is just so insanely good.

I do think the idea that these kids are such perfect actors they can chose to "act bad" to support the play is a bit funny though.

I'm loving this Kana and Akane's confrontation, especially seeing the backstory that led Akane to hate Kana and study her psychology which makes sense now.
It's like we're getting a 2nd stage play inside the stage play, it's more and more interesting.

Last episode, we got to see Melt Narushima's back story. This time, we got to see Akane Kurokawa's back story. Especially about Akane's interactions with Kana. We all know, Akane has idolized Kana since she was very small, she really wanted to be like Kana. What is one piece of evidence? Akane even entered the world of showbiz just because she liked Kana. However, all of that was lost when Akane first met Kana. That was also the time when Kana, the genius child actor, began to lose her popularity.

Kana tried her best to bring out the "true" Arima, but it wasn't enough. Now Aqua's here to help. No doubt with Aqua present Arima will give in to him lol.

Also can't get enough of Kana's pouting hahaha

Next scene of Tokyo Blade and Arima does ad-lib. The scene turns to Arima vs Akane, where they fight on both sides, as characters as well as actors.

After seeing Akane and Arima’s past, I can say that Akane hates Arima a bit because she didn’t know her, but she’s understanding her now. It’s not Arima’s fault for behaving like that, because she seemed to be having a tough phase at that time. Now, she just wants to be needed, so she plays along, catering to the needs. But Akane wants her to do her own style of acting, which is not easy to bring out after all the hardships Arima went through.

Aqua notices Arima’s acting, and he decides to bring her true acting nature out along with Akane.

Very riveting performances, I really wanna watch a SceneAround play IRL now!!

Also very smart way of using the duels in the play for the characters to sort out their inner conflicts!

The mid-season slump is too real. The 2 episodes of the actual play are so boring, and the plot is now progressing slower than ever. I hope the rest of the season picks back up again.

What a rival Akane is. Kana shutting her down like that must have really rocked her world view for her to go and study psychology books for the rest of her life.

If Kana wants to support the other actors rather then shine herself, I think some reverse psychology will need to be done here!

I got way more respect for Akane after this episode, I could feel rivalry and I dig it! I am starting to root more and more for her :3
I felt bad for Kana though, she definitely did not had it easy, I feel for her.
