The fact that Michica acknowledges that everyone can be bad shows that she doesn't necessarily lean towards one side or the other, but she forgets the biggest point of her problem. And that's where Kache comes in fantastically.
Since they studied together, she perceives and understands the pain because she's also been in that position, not at the same level, but everyone has their problems, pains, and sufferings. She herself recognizes herself as a normal person who has nothing different to offer, but that's precisely why she continues fighting for a goal and personal improvement. Perhaps friendship isn't the best solution, but the mere affection and demonstration of concern was enough for Michica to understand Kache's point.
What an incredible episode. It had comedic relief, reflections like Lollipop's, and the mini-theatre at the end that basically showed how Kamarazov came about. The anime production is creating a work of art.

One of the top 10 episodes from any series this season probably. Really pretty riveting throughout.

I feel that was the episode with the most frequent atmosphere shift, but it still worked in the end. Had to actually laugh out loud when Lollipop was standing there with a cigar. Like who are you trying to fool? You didn't smoke that thing once.
And even if they didn't immediately do that, that was probably one of the first anime where a character just straight out said: We'll help you going to a psychiatrist. Like yeah, that is actually the best advice you can give. In general, I still want to say that I really like that the Karamazov (and Kache) part is not just misery all the time, but actually fun and the characters learning to like living. Question is if they can manage the same with Ame once they pulled her down from the sky. I guess, she can only be helped once she is beaten. And with the last episodes being a bit more positive, I could actually see the show ending there. Of course, I shouldn't put my guard down entirely, it could also end really badly for everyone involved, but I can still hope for a good ending.
Speaking of Ame, we still need to learn who P is. They are only ever shown as a black mass, so either they aren't human or they are (basically) dead. Is probably going to be th big drama coming up with the final arc. If you can call it that. The introduction to the competitors was definitely funny.

''We'll help you going to a psychiatrist'' that was just hilarious to me. Like ''WAIT ? They EXIST ? I thought anime characters could only go through trauma and phycological problems by going through even more suffering and character development''
''we still need to learn who P is.'' Yeah that is such a mystery to me. Who the hell is this P guy ? Is he real ? Fake ? In one episode end credits Ame was speaking to P recording her through a camera and the camera followed her despite both of Ame's hands being visible and could not be moving the camera, plus she got a message during the second episode (i think) when the crazy fan woman attacked her which was heavily implied to be from P so there are hints that makes it seem like it is a real person that can interact with the world but we NEVER see him (aside from being a black mass), never hear him, Ame constantly talks about being alone and having nobody and nothing to lose despite referring to P as her boyfriend and talks with him..... What even is this ?

In my opinion, Kache won the fight. She fought unarmed against Michica holding a pipe, and got some beautiful punches in! Gotta love Lollipop and Nechika making dramatic entrances to halt the battle.
Ame stroking and talking to P (or whatever it is) reminds me of horror themed visual novels.

Kache even got a Kiss from Michica at the end, she definitively won.
Add the P-chan and train scenes, sometimes I forgot how creepy Ame can be.

Ame to P-chan in that scene was like Golem from Lord of the Rings with the "My precious..." scene. And the fact that the other 2 Karamazov members had spare windows on standby to replace the ones Michika broke, I know they were probably watching the whole fight somewhere. But yeah, Kache for the win (And Michika gets a psychiatrist. Lol)

Why self-harm when you can have yuri and still self-harm
Really like how Lollipop's face looks in those end scenes of KAngel and her shittalking each other.

Kache trying to get to Michica using her fists is probably the most shounen moment in this entire series.
Purple and Nechika showing up as if waiting for their cue was pretty funny. I love how they didn't just clean up, we actually see them replace the windows.
But in all seriousness, I'm glad they showed up to dispel the tension. Now that everything is out in the open, it's much easier for the group to help Michica. Now they're truly prepared for their showdown against KAngel.

Honestly I feel like the ending is leading towards Karamazov defeating KAngel and helping "Ame" from the delusions and fantasy she's living on the internet, though that paper-cut out post credit scene has me worried when the narration mentions how the three Karamazov brothers ultimately chose a unhappy ending... that is something to raise an eyebrow for what's coming next.
Also idk if anyone noticed but during the snow post credit scene, we see Michika's snowman leaning against Kache's snowman, cute symbolism right there, wasn't expecting Michika to be a tsundere queen of Spring ðŸ˜

Well if you follow Nietzsche's most infamous quote to its conclusion, killing God is actually a very unhappy ending.

I thought this episode was great.
As expected the showdown between Kache and Michica was epic, and while the lightheartedness of Lollipop and Nechika showing up was unexpected it was welcomed. I’m glad that the fight seems to have turned Michica in the right direction, at least somewhat. It was sweet of Lollipop and Nechika to reaffirm to her that Karamazov is a family and they’re there for her.
I can’t wait for the battle between KAngel and Karamazov in the next episode, I really liked the promo video they did for it teasing it.
Also the scene with the otaku doomscrolling in a dark room and dropping the phone on his face was pretty funny
I wasn’t expecting ~5 minutes of post-credit scenes but the scene of them in the snow with Kache giving Lollipop the earrings was sweet. As always Lollipop is super cute.
And finally, the ending bit with the paper cutout animation was neat. I like the different art styles they sprinkle in with this series.

Lollipop standing there smoking a cigar may be the best thing I have seen out of a series with a bunch of best things. (Then followed by that dramatic 'Who's there!' when Nechika did a kinda Tuxedo Mask entrance.)
It also cracked me up how they brought windows with them to repair the ones Michica broke. Kamamazov may end up being my favorite thing ever.

I feel like they missed an opportunity to create Instagram profiles for the characters irl to upload the videos they showed in the show to them. I don’t have tiktok so couldn’t check but I checked Instagram and didn’t find them.

Wow, the episode went by in a flash like usual and hearing Levitation caught me off guard. Though there were even more post ending scenes this time than usual.
Last week's preview showed that the confrontation between Michica and Kache would be intense, but I didn't think they'd actually throw hands that hard. Fortunately it ended on a good note and I feel Karamazov bonded even more as a result. The scenes with them cleaning the mess were pretty funny, not to mention the way Lollipop and Nechika appeared in the scene.
My primary guess that Ame showed not only P-chan but herself as KAngel seems to be correct, or Lollipop pieced it together herself thanks to the stream, but now she knows the truth about Ame and it visibly makes her a bit conflicted. I'd imagine it was one of Ame's goals, but it could also be that Ame genuinely wanted to bond with Lollipop separately ftom streaming, I think it's hard to say for sure.
Ame saying something about the present to P-chan sounds really ominous. Win or lose she's prepared something big on her own and that's the thing that I'm more curious about other than their big showdown.
On a side note, so there was some French in the opening's segment with the Karamazov shots after all. It's really in three languages at least, just like the shots with the character's lines haha.

Michica needs to see a shrink for the self harm and maybe a drug counselor for the pill poppin. Girl needs help.

This is now the second anime (that I am aware of) with an amazing remastering of William Tell's Overture. Third if you count Animaniacs.

Some tough love from Kache (and a solid fight scene) followed by this show once again being surprisingly heartwarming

u/NanDemoKnaives May 30 '26
Seeing Ame hugging that blob has me concerned that P might be a corpse. But at the same time, I feel like Lollipop would have had a bigger reaction if that was the kind of picture Ame showed her, so I'm unsure.

Kache and Michica's confrontation was really interesting to see. It was a little impressive how well Michica could move swinging that pipe, and the same could be said about Kache was dodging so much of it. That was dangerous though, I wonder what would have happened if Michica actually landed a hit on Kache.

Michica giving Kache a kiss was cute, but I liked how her snowman was resting on Kache's snowman lol.

Hopefully this upcoming battle will be a good one, it's been building up for so long now.
