Hmm, I also think Haruka should be more honest with herself.

Got a weird feeling about Okuike Group and their plans with Ziggurat. It feels something big is going to happen soon.

This episode was big on character moments but did not much to advance the main storyline. Yukiya's performance was amazing and many characters comment on how far he has come since he showed interest in becoming a DJ. I'm a bit confused that Yukiya doesn't seem all that interested in using his W'z alter ego. Even though that it is title, the show itself does imply that Yukiya does not need W'z to be special.

The scenes between Yukiya and Haruka were great, but I do have trouble accepting and understanding the scene in the end where Haruka just gives into peer pressure and decides not to go with Yukiya to the rooftop. The show was doing a good job at mending bridges between them but then we suddenly get this weird moment of forced drama, just to prolong their reconciliation. I understand there is a need to evolve the characters but it has to come off as natural and organic, and that scene is something that wouldn't look out of place in a soap opera.

If I had to pick a favorite scene in this episode, it would be the conversation between Koyori and Haruka. It's a nice throwback to Hand Shakers and we get to see how much Koyori has evolved and that she can relate to Haruka's problems. It wasn't as extensive as Tazuna and Yukiya's scenes in the previous episodes, but it does a good job at showing how similar the female protagonists are.

The character writing on this show only serves to benefit of the main characters and the supporting cast gets lucky to get a few scenes to properly evolve. Fortunately, Yukiya's evolution and interactions with his friends and family only serve to enhance the viewing experience.

After performing live on a stage you will have all the confidence in the world, especially if the performance was great, that confidence would stay with you for even a few days after the show.

So I don't understand how Haruka still didn't get the guts to go to the roof and scream at yukiya that she loves him.

Overall everything else was fine.

So Haruka, can't be honest with Yukiya co'z she fears of losing him so she would rather prefer that he hates her......Than that ain't any different, cu'z if Yukia would hate her then he is as good as gone from her, some analogy that was.

So the next opponent would be them Okiuke Group.

I may look like that Neilsen Guy and her bodacious bitch Tamatama could the next opponent.

Dammit another okay slow episode but this episode strongly reminds me this show have been quite frustrating to watch at times as Araki seems to me very weak protagonist compare to Tazuna (or maybe the weakest 'white-haired' protagonist in whole GoHand studio ever made who love using it).
Anyway from beginning my biggest gripe of this sequel was the Haruka's character and unfortunately getting more annoying and the ending makes it even worst using typical 'misunderstanding' clinches. Now I fear if i can call this so-call sequel had some improvement after watching next episode or just was an stupid sequel..

I thought, it had a heavy shit drama. But actually its not too far away as my initial thought. There, i guessed Haruka should had more an encouragement for burst out her feeling. But, nope, it got cancelled. Holy shit, girl, just moved up your ass, acted more wisely and kept your confidence for fuck sake! At the end, nothing happened. Its really shamed. It got postponed, again.

At least i got some nice dj music by Yukiya. It was really smooth and, well, relaxing. The rap from Nielsen was quite funny. Yukiya development had a nice touch too. I guessed, i am not take a wrong decision to lead this episode into my best of the series, so far. Thats it.

Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here.
