is there literally any point to watching it

i can't believe they're doing a recap episode after what little story they've done
recap episode means they didn't finish the real episode in time, it's not an intentional thing. happens to a few shows every season these days

Heeeeeey


Some series do intentionally schedule a recap to give staff extra time to finish episodes in the back half though.

I always thought of it like, tonally, the kind of story where a character lives somewhere for a summer, learns some stuff about themselves and how to interact with people, then has to say goodbye to all their new friends to go back home. It's bittersweet, but that's just how it is sometimes. Akane gets to take the experience back home and break out of her shell in a town she didn't rule over like a god.

yeah. akane did bad stuff and needed to learn from those mistakes. if she stayed there she'd still be in an environment designed to cater to her and coddle her. rikka exists in the real world and hopefully akane can reconnect with her and talk to her there. and if not, akane can move on with the lessons shes learned. its not like there arent other girls in the world.

I cried at the episode of Kodocha where Sana-chan meets her biological mother.

Specifically, when she gets back home and tells her (adoptive) mom that she's not going to go live with that woman she just met, and her normally unflappable mama breaks down in relief.

While I'm on a gridman kick, was the whole 'Akane and Rikka couldnt have onscreen romance because of corporate' actually true or just a fevered fan theory?

Kind of a shame if so.

That would be the first I've heard of it, and I've followed Gridman and Dynazenon pretty closely. I doubt the corporate puppet-masters would've forbid it, considering yuri has carved out a fairly dominant market niche, after all. (Even if a large bulk of those are frustratingly non-committal).

the entire show is the romance. it's the core of the plot. i dont consider it as being that different just because the way it's explored is really surreal and weird

dunno what you mean by non committal. there's like bland fluffy generic high school stuff i guess but there's just as many bland straight romcom tropes as yuri ones and if that stuff was het nobody would try to argue against it being romantic. even a mag people might have tried to label as "yuri-baity" like kirara has, a lot of explicitly gay stuff that doesn't shy away at all. funny enough people got mad about aquatope shying away from yuri but the author of that does have a yuri manga running in there right now

While I don't like the fact that the show really isn't doing anything with Fuuka/Kukuru Aquatrope actually has way bigger issues with it than that

I guess a better way to put it would be the degree it showed it or something? Regardless, it doesn't seem like it was true anyways.

The anthology had much more straightforward scenes, which might be where that originated from. :shrug:

I've made my views on that whole relationship clear by now anyways. :v:

When she was first introduced I worried she was being set up as a challenger for Senpai's affection. Nope, turns out she's the absolutely best wingman ever. Amazing :allears: Gotta say, I'm really glad I began reading the Nagatoro manga! Dunno if it's an outlier or not (I like romcoms but I'm not, like, super deep into the genre) but the relationship between Nagatoro and Senpai is always being moved forward in satisfying ways that feel like legit Progress (tm). Can't wait to see what the second season of the anime does with the source material.
