It was nice to have a low stakes villain who just wanted to be famous. Not everyone needs a philosophy.

Blood 'n guts is different because parental abuse or suicide from social isolation are far, far more relatable to the average reader.
Oh, no doubt, but it's still a hosed up state of affairs regardless. Also, both KnY and CSM feature some pretty heavy parental abuse/social alienation as well because surprise surprise, fantasy/supernatural settings though they might be, both Taisho-Era Japan (about 100 or so years ago) and the not-so distant future also have a ton of shittiness that the characters have to waddle through.

I do wonder what exactly Gentle's plan was, should he succeeded no problems. "Behold, it is I! Gentle Criminal! I have infiltrated your open to the public (i think?) festival! Bwa ha ha! Okay, I am going to walk out now! Farewell!"

Ideally, no one would recognize him as Gentle Criminal and he doesn't want to fight. So he'd probably just photo-bomb and then leave, maybe after getting some of the party food.

A lot of these limited run anime showings are treated as event tickets and not normal movie tickets, are a bit more pricey as a result, and I'm assuming would not apply for customer loyalty programs like A List.

My theater charges a surcharge but still lets you use the free tickets from their loyalty program (Cinemark).

I cried like a little baby just like when I read this in the manga (fun fact, Horikoshi was dying at the time so this was all sketches in the original release)

I remember reading an interview with Horikoshi where he said that originally he was going to have Hagakure win the beauty contest before eventually deciding he'd rather have the whole class working together on this performance.

Nice episode, though was that actually Jiro’s VA doing the singing?

Also out of curiosity, why was the song in English?

Here’s Jiro’s song if anyone’s interested:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=tdkKXlTtsZc

Assuming that was actually her singing that was pretty coherent honestly, I wonder if her actress is bilingual.

I’m also kind of curious if they’re even going to bother re-recording this in the dub (does Trina Nishimura even have any singing experience?)

Probably not, they didn't re-record the other song Jirou sang in the earlier episode.

Jirou's singing voice is so powerful that it transcended the barriers of language.

It wasn't her voice actress, Kei Shindo, but actual singer Chrissy Constanza. The song's in English because said singer is American herself, although in-universe it's likely because Jiro's musical influences are American/British themselves rather than Japanese music.

Between today's concert and Jiro getting to be in the last line of defense against Nine in the movie, it's been a good month for Jiro content. What a good kid...

I looked it up to confirm and it seems a waste that Gentle and La Brava don't become recurring characters in one way or another.

This chapter was so rough in the manga when it first came out because Horikoshi basically had to finish two chapters in the span of like ten days, as I recall. But even when the rest of the chapter was sketchy and unfinished, the page that matters most gets me every time.



The anime nailed it.

Just further echoing how great this episode was. Really right in the good feels.
