The sewn in long-sleeves under the t-shirt made me wince so hard.

But man, it's really kicking off. Feel like things are going to change out of the status quo here.

Hayasaka’s bewilderment at Kaguya finally realizing the truth was excellent

They’re really saving the budget because they mixed in some manga panels instead of animating

It kind of feels like more a style choice over budget to me, reminds me a lot of stuff that Monogatari would do.

Large parts of the earlier Monogatari style was because they didn't have a large budget.

I don't mind stylistic cost-cutting measures at all, especially since they've proven that they really know when to go all out with the budget.

I didn't mind it at all, I found it pretty effective. If that's them saving production resources (and I think it is), then more than anything else it just makes me hype for whatever they're allocating those resources towards instead.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Normally I'd just say that kind of thing is just stylistic, but when you have so many in one episode it's pretty noticeable.

Yeah it's pretty clear they're saving the budget for something bombastic and, given what's being foreshadowed to happen at the culture festival, I can't say I'm surprised.

Miyuki continuing to just be the biggest dork on the planet rules, his "cool" outfit was loving perfect and Kei is a mosnter for robbing us of it.

Kaguya unambiguously admitting to Hayasaka she likes Miyuki feels like a legit tipping point and has me hopeful something big is on the horizon.

I love all the indicators that outside of his "pres" persona Miyuki is often a kind of trashy dude.

This will be me if they call out enormous tacky logo t shirts a la express, a+f or american eagle. Middle school was not a good time sartorially...

Great set up. I'm honestly going to be mad if nothing comes out of this arc. >_>

Also, of course if there is one thing I think about when it comes to Japanese high school romcoms, it's Shawshank Redemption. :stare:

Yeah I called out the show a few episodes ago, but they're definitely doing clear cost savings in order to do insane stuff with the festival proper.

depending on the style, yes. fanny packs are normally worn at the waist. the current trend of cross body bags is probably from cyclists who wear messenger bags cinched tight, you shrink that down and there isn't really any difference from a fanny pack, so now they market fanny packs as cross body bags.

People started wearing fannypacks as cross body bags in like 2017 because it looks cool

They're right, fanny packs look so bad across the waist. It's incredible all we had to do to make them look cool was raise one side up around the shoulder.

I think the brilliance of this show's production team is that they know how to do cost savings correctly; I've never found it to be a jarring experience going from scene-to-scene unlike other shows. I thought it was impressive they did a high-quality Shawshank Redemption reference for Ishigami last episode, just to nail that scene, when they could of scrimped instead.
