Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
I wasn't sure about this with the first episode but the second episode was very good. Nice ghost misdirect

Good episode, glad to see they're not dragging out the plot.

Solid first couple of episodes, and as visually stunning as you'd expect from a KyoAni piece. I'm not really sold on most of the 5-boy band yet, but Minato and Masaki are pretty compelling IMO.

I initially assumed that Minato's target panic had to do with that gnarly-rear end scar we saw on the first episode - interesting that this episode showed that doesn't actually seem to be the case. Wonder if he and his mom were in a car accident or something when she died? Doesn't seem like the sort of thing a story includes to stand by itself.

Yeah I assumed from his scar and dead mom this episode that Truck-kun came to take her away to the big isekai in the sky and left him with a present.

Having his target panic not be related to anything at all is a bold move that reflects real sports psychology, so kudos to the writer for that.

Yeah, the more I chew on it the more I kind of like it. I've been in that position before where you're doing a performance, and you're doing fine, but then you make that one mistake and suddenly it gets into your head and things snowball and it gets deeper into your head.

Yeah I thought it was a snapped bowstring scar at first. Glad that the girl told the guy who asked them to basically cheerlead to gently caress off.

The real question is: when will these good boys just kiss already?

I would probably have missed this if not for the thread. I'm liking it so far.

Not often you have twins that aren't cheery happy-go-lucky types, but these two are such massive assholes.

Peaceful ending and I'm glad it actually concluded unliked Free! So far one of the better conclusions I've seen this season.
