The NHK cup is definitely not going to be easy.

Episode did its job at building the relationship between Mizuki and Hana. At its core, it feels like their friendship is more than just a character bond. Both characters bring out the best out of each other and especially Hana could learn a lot from Mizuki. The Hana/Mizuki scenes together were the highlights imo.

ryoko is such a cool character as the vice president of the broadcasting club she really stands out

it's nice to see hana wa saku shura no gotoku has attracted a dedicated following this season

the floating moment with kana-chan was too adorable she definitely stole the spotlight

the story development is intriguing the show is really shaping up to be one of my favorites

episode four coming soon can't wait to see what happens next with these characters

Really loving this series so far I especially love seeing Hana and Mizuki and their growing friendship and how you can tell that they truly support each other.

The teacher really put the kids into their places lol
I wonder what Hana really wants. Does she really only wants to read for fun... or?
I do not like them pushing her too much if she just wants to have fun reading, but maybe they see something in her we don't?
Also, why are they standing so much. My back hurts just watching them. xD

I love how they added Takeda Ayano's own work "Aoi Haru wo Kazoete" into the selection of pieces, but the highlight piece of this episode was Natsume Souseki's "Yume Juuya". Wow is this series beautiful.

I feel like episode 3 was stronger than episode 2, which is a good sign for the anime. I also got much better headphones between episodes 2 and 3 and I feel like they really help me appreciate the whole recitation parts, they bring more depth and detail to the lines so it comes across as more powerful.

So Hana lacks self-confidence and is concerned that if her recitations are not good enough she has nothing left but luckily Mizuki has her back and will support her so that she can excel. I think Hana has a great shot at nationals and even the NHK cup if she gains self-confidence and works on the things the teacher said.

I know there are other characters are other people are going to read, but I really wanted to hear the female MC read again, it was captivating in the last two episodes.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

When you're really into something, don't you just naturally want to get better? You want to learn more, experience more, and your brain automatically tries to find the best approach.

Even if you don't go on full competitive mode, gaming the meta and whatnot, you still would push yourself because it's what you love doing
