The auditions went as expected.
And if you guys are watching the OP, they might have already spoiled it a bit for us. ^^
But, I’m a bit curious how does the result holds on the actual musical reality? Thus, I kinda extracted some of the musical snippets so we can see clearly.
Also, I have a small report incoming so I can’t make my episode review. So yeah. ^^
The fourth episode is really the turning point of change for the series. (And since, I’ve watched episode 8 before making this due to laziness, I’ll be including some observations from the future episodes)
Anyway, on this episode by the power of hate of Taki-sensei, the band of unmotivated slackers are slowly transformed into hard working ones. But, on a personal and more important level, this episode is one of the turning points of Kumiko’s character. The time when Kumiko grabbed the courage and called out and reached beyond herself.
One to Kousaka Reina and two to Natsuki Nakagawa.
A gesture that I believe will ripple toward the rest of the series.
This is really a beautiful episode. Probably the best one from all that I’ve watched this season. In a sense, its also a perspective shaking one as Kumiko finally interacted with Reina Kousaka.
And it was glorious. So glorious that I can’t concentrate on any other thing. So I might as well gush about it for catharsis.
And while it is billed as HazukixShuichixKumiko, it won’t be what I will be talking about. Truthfully, if there is a triangle in this episode its more likely to be on the ReinaxKumikoxShuichi angle.
Not that its much of a triangle. <snort> This one is looking so lopsided until further notice.
The first half basically destroyed my belief in KumikoxShuichi. (Not that I’m much of a believer in that) Poor Shuichi but he is really out of his league. Not to mention that Kumiko appears to not consider him a competitor.
He’s so deep into the friendzone that the episode hammered it not once,twice but THRICE.
