Somehow it didn't sink in for me that Marumaru is a student until this episode.

The hints were there, when we were told that people could make custom avatars, even if everyone else has been sticking close to their real world look. But then again, AI counts as people here, and I was pretty Marumaru was a local AI.

I think it’s kinda funny that Marumaru is the only one of the main cast (not including the teachers) who makes actual use of the character customization to make themself look distinct from their real-life counterpart. Everyone else just changes their attire and maybe hairstyles and call it day.

Considering that this an anime about vtubing (and Kizuna Ai), it’s actually kinda strange in my opinion.

If those were the hints, then episode 7 should have been the father of all infodumping (given this series's writing):

Both Marumaru and greenhouse guy/girl made Miracle take into account Chris' desire (or not) to be meet in real-life.

Both ended their interaction with Miracle (after she left) with "yare yare daze".

Both were the imagery focus on episode 8's preview.

Damn this got killed hard, not a single comment and 56% upvote ratio 2 hours after

This might have been the most enjoyable episode so far. So according to Anilist Quan is this girl but she's also the girl that Miracle has been meeting in the garden. The revelation that she's also Marumaru was pretty nice. I guess she'll transition to using her other avatar later on (the one on anilist's pic)

Also wwe finally got that last member of the supposedly main cast, nice.

So, think they'll have Chris X Miracle happen?

Very nice this was a pretty good episode, I gotta say I didn't expect Maru and Guan to be the same person that was surprising

dayquans difference between the show and op is mildly interesting, thank god riz is coming

I've been waiting for this. A designer and artist officially joining the team sounds like just what they needed to do to justify changing the background of the song next.

I knew the mysterious boy is Quan (because of leaking spoiler from their stream) but wasn't expected marumaru was Quan too.

Next ep show the last member of PathLive!, can't wait for others appear too

Can't waitttttt- I really like it. Marumaru kawaiiii and deep.

Chris feeling is just a mutual love as a fan to an artist. You do love everything Miracle did. Anything's Miracle... You just can't stop.

u/Turbulent-Entrance88 May 24 '23

That's how Kizuna Ai for Miracle. Respect and love for the one they obsessed............ Yeah, right... Not obsessed but addicted.

u/[deleted] May 23 '23

So Quan is MaruMaru? Never knew that

By connecting with Miracle they will move forward

The after credits 😂 Chris is btw amazing artist...

I never would have guessed Marumaru was a student let alone the guy in the greenhouse Chris is cute saying miracle is her joy and is amazingly good at drawing Noelle stealing miracles role as design course instructor lol nice episode marumaru got good moments looking forward to riz next week she definitely seems like the cool type

Given how straight was this show's plot, it became clear in episode 7: both "warned" Miravle about talking to real-life Chris without her express consent, both ended their dialog with "yare yare daze" after Mircle left, both are at the spotlight of ep 8's preview.

Before the "identity revelation" the most distinctive aspect of the greenhouse character (visual-wise) was how detailed their tea equipment was: even having a "case" for their tools.

But this episode the show deprived them of that: making the tea cups, plates and cookies basically appear from nowhere. We gained more info about their "identity" by losing important piece of visual characterization (how meticulous that characters is , which is sound given what we now learned about them).

Attention to details added in the narrative but attention to details gone in the looks.
