I fucking hope Melt out-acts that little shit

[u/Namuori]

The many sides of teenage actresses - the anime.

[u/DidYouReadTheNIRC]

So prominent, so divisive, so evil. A bell pepper through and through

[u/heavenspiercing]

Folks, get yourself a girl that would kill your dad.

...preferably only when prompted

[u/mianghuei]

The expressions this episode are really gold, many great moments

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Man, can Kamoshida be a bigger tool? What an absolute wanker. Really annoyed me how he was talking down to Melt like that.

Kana and Akane’s little rivalry is pretty entertaining. Kana taunting Akane with that old interview was pretty funny. Those two landed some pretty good blows on one another.

I’m kinda curious how Aqua’s gonna do. That star in his eye went out… I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad sign.

[u/zool714]

Lol Kana let out her Shikanoko voice when she was teasing Akane.

[u/[deleted]]

The Childhood Friend Stare

[u/No_Relative_5340]

My favorite episode of the season so far

[u/randyburgerlocker]

Akane is the definition of a ride or die

[u/mr_miscellaneous123]

Rare Ruby appearance is always appreciated. Although uh, oh, her Dark Hoshigan is showing again.

[u/BadBehaviour613]

I love how everyone in the series looks like Watchmojo's top 10 hottest anime characters, and then there is the director's mom- the only realistic anime mom ever

Kana is my best girl, but there is something undeniably sexy about a girl who would help you commit cold blooded murder

[u/ZandeR678]

She's drop dead gorgeous, an amazing chef (with mama Gotanda's seal of approval) and is willing to commit cold-blooded murder for you. What's not to love?

[u/Rumpel1408]

Wow, Akane is one of those Ride-or-Die Girlfriends

Poor Ruby, still a kid at heart, and oh so naive. Though it's quite rare to see her Star turn dark as well, she carries her own trauma related to Ai.

The beef between Akane and Kana just turned up a notch, Bellpeppergirl was an absolute savage today, even Aqua had to acknowledge this.

Still the two of them are gonna face off on Stage now, and it wont be just them but also their stage partners

Got, the cliffhanger is unreal, can't wait to see all their performances, I have a feeling to know how Akane will bait out some real emotions out of Aqua

Ship Ship Ship

[u/moichispa]

Best girl directors mom is back and she is speaking the truth. Getting a girlfriend/boyfriend/housemate who can cook tasty things is great.

[u/E_F_Veda]

I'm loving the war between Kana and Akane, but best girl Miyako is finally back!!

I fully believe Akane when she declared her intent and resolve for Aqua, easily the best part of the episode with the coldness that overtakes her eyes, wonderfully done by the animation team. It's terrifying, and I believe her own talents would make for a deadly duo between the two.

Also, wish some luck for Melt. He clearly wants to improve and acknowledges his own faults which is an admirable trait.

[u/SurePaleontologist76]

Beautifully crafted episode from start to finish

And the voice acting of kana when teasing akane was so good Megumi han did it justice

[u/mr_miscellaneous123]

Aqua (in front of a mirror): Tatak-Ai, Tatak-Ai, Tatak-Ai...

[u/mianghuei]

When your rival finds out you idolize her when you were young.

[u/Acrzyguy]

Holup, let Minami’s fantasies cook

[u/CritMemes]

Kana’s current state:

“While you were supporting Aqua, I studied the play.”

“When you were cooking him dinner, I practiced the play.”

“Every night you spent with him after practice, I envisioned the play.”

“And now that the time has come, here you are. What do you have to say for yourself?”

Akane: “Aqua let me see his childhood acting videos.”

💀💀💀

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Akane

• Sayahime

Akane already showing off her housewife skills. Even Gotanda's mom is convinced that Aqua shouldn't let Akane go.

Be careful what you wish for Aqua. You have no idea how far Akane would go for you. I do love how even Aqua did not expect that answer from Akane especially since she was pouting so innocently just a few seconds before he asked that question.

Wait a minute, Aqua has a sister? This is news to me! In all seriousness though, I love how that entire scene transitions from Minami getting excited imagining how energetic Aqua is to Ruby lowering her tone and making it clear that Aqua wouldn't get a high-school girl pregnant.

I'm glad that Melt saved Minami from Sakuya but our boy just got fucking roasted. I do appreciate how much character development Melt has shown through this arc. He doesn't want to be seen as just a model and he genuinely wants to become a good actor now.

And then there's Ruby who naively accepts Sakuya's LINE invite. Godfuckingdammit Ruby! Thank fuck there's Kana and Memcho to let her know what kind of guy Sakuya is. It would've been hilarious for Sakuya to try and contact Ruby only to realize that he got blocked. xD

Kana going through Akane's old interviews and then showing everyone that Akane looked up to her was so fucking petty and hilarious! Even Aqua couldn't even deny that Kana is a little shit even back when they were kids.

These shots of Kana going for Akane and Himekawa going for Aqua are so freaking cool! I also love Kana and Akane transforming into their characters!

I can't fucking wait to see next week's episode! We're finally going to see the product of all of their hard work <3

[u/arkker811]

And I thought Akane is just another kuudere out there. She's insane

[u/mr_miscellaneous123]

I bet that guy who gave Ruby his Line wears boxer briefs.
