This episode is also good, I hope it will continue to be good until the end of the film, I like the part when Kanna Chan advises Aqua, but instead it evokes her past trauma, even so, this is the plot of the film. I hope it continues to go well. For me, I simp Aquaxruby I hope they can be together even though they are hindered by their social status, namely brother and sister

I just love EVERYTHING about this ep. Akane is 10x more interesting now that she knows about Aqua's past and I like how every character in the play has their own motivation to give it all and show everyone how good they are. I think this might be my single favourite anime episode, it felt perfect. Can't wait to see how the stage play turns out.

This episode was incredible❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥!
The teasing in generally not touch me normaly,but this time I'm soooooo hyped for next week!
This season broke the first that was already excellent!
I've always said that theater in anime with masterful direction would be orgasmically jouissif, because it's the fullness of the imagination in terms of what you can reinject into the images.
Nex episode will be the one of the YEAR👑🙏🤩❤️‍🔥!

Another incredible episode with multiple reasons why Akane is best girl. Namely her wanting to save Aqua the same way he saved her, the adorable pouting and the turning into a yandere for Aqua. The show is getting a lot scarier as well with more rivalries coming in and the big show coming soon. Loved Ruby’s reaction to Aqua maybe smashing Akane, quickly starting to like purple-haired guy more, liked seeing pink-haired girl again, the dating show club getting together at the show again and just lots of those little details of everyone we know so far. Love this show and can’t wait for the next episode.

So boring. This anime is a hard watch.

They could've condensed the first 5 episodes into 2 episodes. The stupid mangaka could be removed from the story altogether and nothing would really change.

Akane nonchalantly saying she would help Aqua commit murder lowkey made me cringe. Girl's so desperate to be with Aqua it's almost sad to see.

Also everyone being so excited to see Akane, Aqua and Kana on stage while I'm just here hoping for Melt to give a solid enough performance and shut some mouths in the process. Come on, kid!

P.S.: More Miyako screentime! I'm happy~

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.

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.
