Such a mesmerizing way of turning a supporting character into a one in a lifetime character

I really enjoyed this episode's portrayal of both Tokyo Blade as a stage production, and seeing the actor's inner thoughts/hopes for the play at the same time, along with getting more time spent on some of the actor's histories and relationships to each other.

HOLY F-
THAT'S GOTTA BE ONE OF THE BEST EPISODES (besides ep 1) OF THE ENTIRE SERIES.

Actually tho, like the character development from Melt ever since his debut was insane. He used to be a not so likable character, but now I LOVE him. He's really grown.

What's funny is although the pace of the story is at it's peak so far since the start of the season, there's probably gonna be even more buildup next episode.

Melt's redemption arc was so fabulously portrayed, A character that I once was indifferent about got such a brilliant spotlight shone upon him. Seeing his frustration, effort, and payoff in the same episode, which was paired with gorgeous animation, was truly a spectacle.

HYPE!! Didn't mean to, but waiting until episode 6 to watch it from the start was worth it. Now I get to see play go down, or at part of it least. Am so curious to see how it will unfold.

Kana faces~ and the voice acting was especially superb this time around

Ruby is so darn cute! ^^ But yeah, Aqua wouldn't be so stupid as to be irresponsible even if the dating was for real. Ruby knows that. We all know the reason why.

But I love the moments when the twins' stars in their eyes turn dark. Those dark moments are really something.

Also, Abiko-sensei hiding behind Yuriko-sensei is so cute

I know what's gonna happen, but I'm still hyped for next episode~

Ah yes, Akane's famous "I'd help you kill" line. It's definitely chilling... but also oddly touching. She clearly understands a lot about Aqua's trauma and wants to support him no matter what.

On a lighter note, that scene with her and Kana both trading blows was hilarious. Their rivalry is heating up now.

Fucking loved this episode. Aqua's PTSD was painful to watch. I can't wait for the act to start. Also, their rivalry is brewing for some time now. It's gonna be so good.

I’ve had this season on hold since I finished E5. I’ve been checking the episode discussions from 6-11 and it seems like my concerns about the plot and where it’s going (and not going) have been confirmed. This season has close to zero to do with S1. Why hasn’t the Aqua revenge storyline progressed??? Isn’t that where S1 left off? Anyway I’m switching to “dropped” now. I’m not interested in a dark “high school musical” anime. This should have been a spinoff show. If there is a S3 and I need some background info for it, I’ll watch a 5-minute YouTube S2 synopsis video. Hopefully the story will get back on track.

Holy shit Akane saying she would kill Aqua's target too... and she doesn't even know the full story yet but she's as loyal as she could be... also her arguing with Kana was pretty fun to see, anyway the stage play is starting now but Aqua's PTSD regarding Ai is still so strong...

Here's something neat - The QR code that Kamoshida gives Rudy actually works if you scan it with your phone. It's not a LINE contact though, it just takes you to his character page on the production's website.

One thing that has been emphasized once again is that Aqua's goal in entering the world of showbiz wasn't to earn money, fun, etc., like most people. Instead, his goal is still the same as season 1, which is to avenge the death of Ai Hoshino, Aqua and Ruby's mother.

I'm so hyped about the play, but I wish we could've seen Akane and Aqua rehearsing the emotional scene with the director.

Akane cooks at Gotanda’s house and even sees his childhood acting. She notes his emotionless acting.

Aqua confesses his motive to join theatre acting to Akane, and she readily agrees. In return, she wants him to help her beat Arima and Himekawa. He goes home late because of extra practice to help Akane beat them. But Ruby goes to his workplace and the misunderstanding of others make her remember the past.

Akane and Arima have a go at verbal fight. Aqua remembers the time he wanted to kill Arima 🤣.

The first show is about to begin. Ruby and their adoptive mother are in the audience. Gotanda is there too. Aqua sees Ai’s pic to get into the character, even though it still gives him panic attack.

And finally the play can commence! I'm enjoying the rivalries that are popping up, and also the sleaziness that is definitely part and parcel of showbiz!
I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats.

Akane proved her MVP status with how ride or die she is for Aqua. Speaking of Akane, her rivalry with Kana just continues to intensify. That magazine flame battle was wild, but the real winner will be decided on the stage!

I really hope Melt shows Kamoshida up! If he becomes a better actor than that sleazeball then he should have nothing more to complain about!

We finally got more screen time of Ruby, yay!! ^~^
Also the animation of this anime keeps being absolute peak

Akane is stealing my heart more and more every episode that passes, she’s so serious about being Aqua's girlfriend and I’m totally digging it. Plus her pouting keeps being one of the cutest pouts ever :3

The rivalry between Arima and Akane has been making this second season even better, Arima getting under the skin of Akane had me cracking up.
