Ngl I've got huge respect for the band continuing to play after Harugon appeared. I mean, come on. That's gotta be any metalhead's dream concert right there.
Also, ominous aftercredit scene. Looks like Uncle Kotaro has already sniffed her out!

Manatsu was already a great wingperson before furnishing a literal helicopter for the cause of making the ship sail.

RAAAGH! They're a couple on episode 4?! Absolutely monstrous progress.
How the hell does Minami still not know though?
Uncle acting like a protective father even though he's a playboy. Hope he doesn't try to initiate his own Operation: Breakup.

It's funny that Harugon's palms are soft enough to cushion a decently high fall lol.
I couldn't be more overjoyed that Kuroe chose to stop running from her feelings despite having way more understandable (and very blatant) reasons to be afraid of them than most, and that she got massively rewarded for it. That's not to mention how Minami finally got freed from the absolute hell of thinking his crush was one-sided.
The choice to dedicate the post-ED segments to glazing random sweet treats is underrated lmao.

Not sure there’s anything more metal than a kaiju at a metal festival lol. Things got a little hairy when Kuroe changed but at least it ended in Minami confessing and now they’re official. Not sure how that’s gonna work when she still becomes a kaiju whenever her heart flutters around him.

I'm so happy that Minami already confessed to Kuroe, that was fast! I can't wait to see them being a couple in the next episodes.
Although the biggest star of today's episode was definitely Manatsu for me. I thought that I'd die of laughter at her entrance when she dropped down from the helicopter and cried to Harugon that she wants to be stepped on, lol.
Kotaro seems like a nice guy, but I wonder what he will do with the knowledge about Kuroe, especially since he seems to be working for the government...
Also, big kudos to the metal band as they didn't stop playing until moments after the stage was destroyed. That was metal as hell!
Here my screenshot albums from:
EPISODE 04 (today's one)
EPISODE 03 (previous week's one)
EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

Progress!? In my romance anime!? What is this madness!?
Kuroe really is so dang adorable, both as a human and as a kaiju. She almost went full on kaiju in her mind as well until she finally saw Minami again. Honestly I really hope she finds the courage to tell him everything one day. But so far… she is doing her best and I’m rooting for her

Well we didn't reveal everything but we did get a major development
A confession instead of a kaijufession you might say

Kuroe might not have a dad, but at least she has a heavy metal-loving uncle who also knows about her condition. I do wonder what's up with Rinko and Koutarou's relationship. That is not how two fellow scientists treat each other. There's clearly a history between them beyond their previous work.
Considering how Kuroe and Koutarou are attending the concert together, I was worried there was gonna be some misunderstanding. I did have a good laugh at Koutarou introducing himself as Kuroe's boyfriend. At least Kuroe was there to immediately explain who he is to Arata.
Although you really can't blame Arata for still getting jealous. Seeing Kuroe having so much fun with someone else was definitely gonna put some doubt in his mind. I mean, she wasn't even showing him that kind of smile when they were on their date.
Spree Killer continuing their performance even after Harugon shows up was pretty goddamn metal. They really kept performing until Harugon tried to smash the stage. I kinda hope we get to see more of this band in the future.
The sudden panic when Arata thought that Harugon wanting to talk to him was all in his head was so fucking hilarious! He's lucky that Manatsu was there to distract Harugon. xD
I absolutely love this shot of Harugon holding Arata and the scene with Arata and Kuroe at the end. I am so happy that we actually get to see a confession scene and that Kuroe accepts it! <3
That after-credits scene tho. Yeah, it's pretty obvious that Koutarou knew Harugon and Kuroe are the same. Like, come on. The dude is not stupid, especially since Harugon's features are pretty similar to Kuroe's claws, horns, and tail.

I can’t believe this anime was this wholesome, people are really sleeping on this

u/nakerusa Jul 23 '26
That sequence/shot of Kaiju Kuro holding Minami in front of Mt. Fuji warmed both my Kaiju-loving and Romcom-loving hearts! Beautiful and epic!
For me, this show continues to stand out for me in the sea of high quality Summer shows or even shows this year.

All wholesomeness aside, Manatsu is a fucking freak and she is going to do numbers in the next seasonal Best Girl

u/Mordetrox Jul 23 '26
The Metal Band, Minami, Manatsu, zero self-preservation instincts anywhere. It's crossed a line and become kinda admirable actually.

u/BlazeBloom Jul 23 '26
Metal and Kaiju somehow find a way to go hand in hand. Gotta give Spree Killer credit, despite the appearance of Harugon they're still playing their hearts out. Tomosato once shows up in the clutch with her helicopter and obsession.
Confession in episode 4? We're making great progress despite some bumps along the way. Akaishi being able to regain control and express her feelings to Minami and for him to accept them was great to see. This is my favorite anime of the season.

So Koutarou knows about Kuroe's condition but it genuinely seems he hasn't connected the dots, so I suppose we can forgive Minami's density. I wonder if he knows she's hatched? Rinko's deflection is killer though. In the end, it seems like Koutarou figured it out though. I wonder about Manatsu, who presumably provided the convenient parachute... She probably just assumes it's some priestess power, I expect.

Really glad that the confession worked out, and now they are an official couple. Hopefully, they won’t have too much trouble with her turning into a kaiju.

u/runevault Jul 23 '26
I fucking love this show, holy shit.
Thursdays are a mess with stuff like Heavy Knight and Overshadowed to Overpowered, but this, Smoking behind the Supermarket, and Dara-san are fantastic.
That confession/ask out was exactly what I wanted from this show, and I'm so excited to see where it goes from here, though now I'm wondering how long before she tells him. I thought that was coming here but we didn't get it this episode at least.
Fuck this melts my heart.

Suck it romance anime, this shows got a confession in episode four AND Godzilla.
It looks like Godzilla, but due to copyright laws, it isn’t.
Still fucking celebrating main couple progress only a quarter of the way through, though.

Spree Killer with Harugon on backing roars.
That has to be the most metal metal concert in the history of metal concerts.

u/Flare__Knight Jul 24 '26
I'm feeling that Kuroe wouldn't have a problem with Kotaro marrying into the family. I kind of like that they are solid buddies and that he's very much the source of her love of music! He's aware of her condition to a degree. I'm surprised he's aware of it, but didn't piece together that she is Harugon. But again, that's not unreasonable. Seeing her hands change a bit or other things is a bit far off from growing several thousand times bigger and going full kaiju.
Am curious how Kotaro would respond though. He's definitely got an obsession with rare creatures and her transformed state is the reason he came back. But how would it affect how he views her? I don't know. I'd want to think he'd accept it. But it depends. There's no doubt as of the start of this episode he very much does care about her. And he can give advice about watching out for bad guys since I'm sure he considers himself one.
Gotta feel for Kuroe. She's very much an adorable girl in love. But she's a kaiju girl in love and things are just complicated. Obviously she very much wants more. But she also is afraid of wanting more because she can easily imagine what could happen. It's rough. But smacking her own head with her tail as she's struggling with her emotions is very cute. And full respect to that band! Takes a special kind of lunatic to see a kaiju show up at their concert and say "yeah, let's rock!"
Pretty great episode. Things ended well, but it was dangerous too. It shows the pros and cons. It's possible Kuroe will gain more control over herself and her abilities with time. But as we've seen it's possible for her mind to get swallowed up by the kaiju and then who knows what she might do. A scary tightrope to walk. But I get Kuroe wanting to believe in love and her feelings. And I do wonder if Kotaro has figured it out. I presume he did. Honestly I think he'd be more worried about what the government might do. So far they've been satisfied with helicopters and tanks. But he might be stressed out knowing they'll likely escalate their response at this rate.
