Shy's gonna struggle at first and then absolutely humiliate this budget David Bowie clown. Or at least I hope so! I don't like em!!

Idk how much of this to spoiler so I'm just doing most of it. Well, my prediction was incorrect. That said, I ain't mad at how it turned out. And I like her powers! And with the nurse and the scene on the news at the end, they've introduced the last two characters from the 5 in the credits, right? Or was the black cross nurse not the green one from the credits? I should watch the opening again.

I sorta didn't like the 3 episode cliffhanger, but I loved the character design and opening, and episode 4 has solidified that this is one I'm gonna watch weekly.

I had a lot of fun with this episode. Mianlong is great, big fan.

that's how i'm feeling after this newest ep yeah. i appreciated the deeper delve into her backstory but this battle is kinda going all over the place. some neat visuals tho, and the bits of romcom between the two villains was some nice levity

I def agree with this. I like the characters in Shy a lot, both their visual design and their characterization. The fighting is, uh, pretty bad.

Kufufu is a lot of fun, though, and her asking for more head pats from Tzveta had me smiling ear to ear.

I'm for sure on board with basically all that, symbolic. I'm very glad it's getting a season 2 because there's so much promise here and a lot of the season showed that, but it was weighed down by some pacing issues. Learning that the manga wasn't quite so bad and that the next arc or two in the manga are themselves better paced has me excited for the next season.

Just expanding a bit - I am so fkn on board with liking how they didn't go all in on humiliating Shy with cringe comedy. It felt like an unflinching yet sympathetic representation of someone with social anxiety trying to do well despite their challenges, neither downplaying the struggle nor mocking her for having them. I'm rewatching Bocchi rn and there's a lot of parallels there.

i dropped kinda early. i'll see how s2 reviews and either catch up then or just put the manga in queue, depending. low patience for badly paced animé

Yeah this is a totally fair reaction too. Fingers crossed for s2!
