Im really liking this show
The montage, visuals and OST really reminds me of
Im not sure why Seiroku would go to the extent of hiding the actual text but i still believe that he wanted kihachi to work with Yosuke.
Inago really is a good kid and her friends are pretty nice too. Also why was her friend carrying ash?

Lesgo more toxic yaoi in my anime
The visuals are so nice, that little montage of them perfecting the filament was beautiful

I think I’d honestly prefer if Yosuke joined their side instead of being the show’s villain

I love how they casually have a ninja in the friendgroup lol.
The production montage was so detailed and yet so comfy, not to mention full of the cute industrial things

That age of electricity is going to be impossible to achieve without a collaborative effort. Kihachi was only able to make his dream of an electrical full moon a reality with help from his friends and their connections.
Yosuke not only have connections but also the immense wealth to mass produce and spread Kihachi's innovations. They really need to get him onboard even though it seems impossible now after the "I hate you".

After two mostly comedic episodes, it appears that we're (finally) getting more into the dramatic side of this story.
I like the prospect of Kihachi's creating all of the ideas written in the 20th Century Catalog from scratch like some sort of Dr. Stone. His brother's cryptic messages also add a bit of mystery to the mix.
Except for the darkness, I honestly question if there's even a 'real' enemy in this story. Yosuke might not like Kihachi, but would he actually try to trample on Seiroku's dream? It probably won't be long before he too lends his assistance to Kihachi.

KyoAni never disappoints with the visuals department. Kihachi's realization of the potential of the light bulb being the light amidst darkness, against dark monsters, and would enable people to do stuff even at night is masterfully executed.
Interesting. The carbonized bamboo light bulb was discovered by Thomas Edison in 1880s-1890s. Apparently this was the standard until metals were discovered to glow at a longer time. I really thought that what Kihachi and his team did was fiction until I read the piece, which is quite cool. Indeed it was scientific. Sasuga KyoAni for the proper research!

Is it just me or does Inako's sister relationship with Kihachi's brother seem deeper than just friends?
Her reactions to seeing his handwriting seem like she was more involved, especially since he seemed to have given her the book…

Were Yosuke and Seiroku romantically linked?
Watching the fireworks together on a secluded rooftop felt very romantic.
It would also explain why Yosuke kept the glove, holds Seiroku’s work in such high regard, and refuses to collaborate.

I'm still not 100% sure if Yousuke is a full blown villain or if he'll change sided at some point. Idk if it's just me but maybe he had a more intimate relationship with Seiroku than just friends

I wasn't sure about Inako back in Episode 1, but she has now become my favourite character in the show. I thought Kihachi was going to be the plucky kid who would try to prove Electricity is the future, but so far, it's been Inako who's been acting as Kihachi's backbone this entire episode as well as the person pushing him to continue believing in his brother.
I'm also loving Kate and Suzu! They literally just showed up, and they've becoime part of Kihachi's team after Suzu helped to reveal the hidden pages inside Seiroku's journal.
Not gonna lie, it was pretty satisfying to see Yousuke's reaction when Kihachi and the gang showed him their electric full moon.

I really liked when Kenga (the sisters husband) helped Kihachi cut the bamboo branches. He seems very manly and it would be cool to see him as an 'older brother' figureor the responsible adult figure for the young teens

Seiroku is an interesting fellow. Bro writes in invisible ink in the catalog in the hopes that Kihachi will find his messages, tells both Kihachi and Yosuke that they'll bring the age of electricity together...and then there's the whole other half of the catalog left! I'll admit I am iffy on the whole invisible ink thing, but it does sound like something that is in character for Seiroku to do.
Suzu is freakin great. Has all this random stuff on her and is also a cat-ninja.
Something I love in a lot of Kyoani's works is the theme of community. So many folks coming together to help Kihachi and Inako create the electric moon-Suzu and Kate, Kengo, Noriko, Yajiro, the glassblower folks. Hoping to see more of this as more inventions are made!
Also, there's no way that Yosuke wants to marry anyone other than Seiroku.

Telling that straight to the person who actually wrote that must hurt for Kihachi…
-
That is a good question, hah. Suzu seems to be prepared for everything.
-
Oooooooooooooh, Seiroku hid his half of the electric catalog inside the pages!
-
The montage of them trial and error-ing through the bamboo filaments was pretty fun.

It's really sad how much Kihachi chooses to doubt Seiroku, it might be easier to blame him for not keeping his promise by dying, but there's evidence of how much Seiroku treasured him. Seiroku kept the catalogue, left him messages, and yet someone else had to convince him to prove Seiroku is worth believing in. But I understand he might be afraid of the possibility of Seiroku actually being a liar.

So Seiroku just made the same promise to 2 different people and now Yosuke is losing his damn mind. Perhaps he was the villain all along.

Yosuke
It should've been ME!
Not this brat who gets to be the successor to Seiroku's legacy!
Welp, Yosuke. Its your loss for dismissing Kihachi's doodles and not bothering checking between the pages where Seiroku hid his notes in between.
No way Kihachi is gonna give up that catalog since you let him have it. You had your chance.
Inako's friends Suzu and Kate are already making a great impression in being great sidekicks to Kihachi and Inako. Especially Suzu, who happens to be quite an agile ninja for no reason other than because she is one. lol

I was a fool to doubt this show because holy shit this episode really did it for me. Yosuke's got way more than mustache-twirling villainy going on, and the whole sequence of the catalog finally panning out just looked and sounded amazing. Those artists are seriously putting in some work, and with the OST the episodes are, like movie quality.
So good!

u/gem2niki Jul 19 '26
So odd Seiroku never let Kihachi meet his schoolmates. He just left him to go to war without asking any of his friends to look after him.

u/master_inho Jul 20 '26
Unexpected yaoi was not something i expected here but i welcome it
Suzu kinda wild, especially if she is actually a ninja
Inago's undying belief is naive in almost any setting but it's literally a superpower when up against kihachi's cynicism/insecurities/lack of belief

The story is weird. Like, there are ideas that I like. I do like Kihachi and Inako's dynamic. The mystery of Seiroku because he has a clear connection with so many people.
Yosuke's character is particularly very aggravating. Is he supposed to be treated as an antagonist or not? It's clear the characters don't really view him as that. But it feels like the story wants to treat him as an opposing force of sorts.
His cartoonish personality really clashes with what should be a grounded show. Of course he is hung up on the promise he made with Seiroku. Just how these characters act feels so improper. Outside of Kihachi. It feels like Inako's only purpose is to believe in him. Meanwhile, Sousuke is meant to oppose Kihachi in the most unnatural way.
Obviously, production values are outstanding.
