    This has to be the most direct confession I've seen while still not having them in a relationship LMFAO! Only this show can get away with this haha. See my full uncut live reaction to the episode over on Patreon www.patreon.com/BrandonReviews

      I still can't wrap my head around this fact lol. You are right, only this anime can pull this off. I have a feeling a direct confession from Ichikawa is coming real soon. Last episode where Ichikawa told Anna Yamada she looked really pretty when viewing the picture he took of her gave her a hint of this scenario.

  • @actionvids35

    You know what I like, how Yamada's friend circle just naturally include Ichikawa and interact with him so normally, Serina gladly trying to help him out with his hair, Ichikawa being able to tease Moeko by bragging about his grades, it's sweet to see the indirect developments of his and Yamada's feelings for each other.

      And Adachi, being a hater initially, also accepted that Ichikawa was one of the homies amongst the girls.
      The fact that he wasn’t hating on Ichikawa having the girls surrounding him during the scene where the teacher asking him to be a representative and getting his hair styled by Serina.

    "My hands are full, and I can't hold anything else" she says as she's holding the Akita dog Ichikawa gave her.
    It might be simple, but that might be the most romantic anime moment I've ever seen.

    Ichikawa's speech was so impactful, it opened the eyes of that one teacher who's eyes are normally closed. Pretty boy at the end gave our two lovebirds a moment and was confused on why they went separate directions.

    Absolute God tier episode. You're right that the show is more than just the confession. The moments they share before they "get together" are just as important as what comes after should they get to that point. The show really is about growing up and the fear and uncertainty that comes from it. It's why it ABSOLUTELY had to be set in middle school. It's when they're no longer children but not quite adults. So them growing as people and not just as lovers is why the Dangers works so well. Ah man, i cant get over Kyo's speech and his words of affirmation and acceptance of his own self love. And the fact that it's only after he loves himself that he realizes Anna loves him. *chef's kiss*

    About Haruya's button thing: It's a well-known plot device in japanese anime, movies and dorama, and apparently based on a real life custom (which I haven't seen at the japanese schools I taught at). On graduation day, boys graduating give their second button from the top (the one closest to the heart) to the kouhai girls they love or who have confessed to them or when they accept the girls' confession in return. It's apparently an old-fashioned custom and Moeko even mentions that in the manga while observing the whole scene.

    They have come so far…helping and bringing the best the other has to offer. Culminating on Ichikawa learning about self love and how the one person that trusts him the most is himself(not gonna lie that scene got me,I was holding back tears)
    Also the absolute trust these two have in each other is amazing to see. She instantly denies that lie because she knows damn well that he wouldn’t do that. These two are the perfect recipe for a long lasting healthy relationship and their development got me invested at an emotional level

  • @firefly5677

    Finally, we come to the culmination of Ichikawa's character growth. He has finally learned to love himself again. And with that, he has also finally accepted that Yamada likes him. I've been waiting for this episode for a long time, and the anime did not disappoint

  • @stevenliu1377
    @stevenliu1377 9 місяців тому +9

    This is the _actual_ moment that Ichikawa finally accepts that Yamada likes him _the way he likes her,_ the way his feeling for Yamada goes from a crush to something more serious all the way back in episode 3, when he thinks to himself "I like Yamada" under the bed, after seeing how seriously Yamada takes missing her photo shoot.
    Remember back to when Ichikawa makes the distinction between how he believes he feels about Yamada and how he believes Yamada may feel about him, in response to onee-chan portraying the feeling they have as ephemeral crushes. He can't give a reason for why he believes as he does, though. Ichikawa is only able to take a step forward the next morning because onee-chan lowers the bar for him. The subtext there is "If Yamada's possible feeling for me is only a crush that may go away tomorrow, as onee-chan portrays, then I am okay with accepting that lesser possibility. I'm okay with being let down from here." He figures that what he wants is to date Yamada, and the lesser possibility is enough for him to get what he wants.
    Now willing to entertain that lesser possibility, when Yamada continues her hint-dropping rampage as usual on Valentine's Day, Ichikawa accepts that Yamada has romantic feeling for him, but only as an ephemeral crush (remember the distinction Ichikawa makes to onee-chan), not the serious "like" he feels for her, so the karte remains "Yamada wa boku o" ("Yamada ---- me") here.
    At the work visit, when he imagines Yamada as an ordinary schoolgirl he doesn't admire, he figures out why he believes Yamada's feeling for him is just an ephemeral crush and his feeling for Yamada is serious. Suddenly, his previous wish to date Yamada on a crush doesn't feel enough anymore. He wants more than that and it hurts because he can't have what he wants as he is.
    Knowing what he has to be now before he can believe Yamada likes him the way he likes her, he brings his inner self and gives the farewell address his all. In the nurse's office, when Yamada breaks down in tears over him once again as he has seen her done many times before, he makes the connection to how he feels in episode 3 this time, where he has failed all those previous times when he doesn't believe in himself.
    He is finally able to accept that Yamada _dead serious_ likes him the way he likes her.
    The karte reads "Yamada likes me." Game over, man. Game over.

    I totally enjoyed this episode. Ichikawa's speech to me like many represents his "growing out of his shell" moment. Ichikawa also mentions in the same episode how he never would of imagined this happening 6 months ago referring to getting a new haircut and getting the attention of Yamada and her friends as well as doing the graduation speech also represents his character growth and just how much he has grown from his depressing and loner version of himself. The final scene where Yamada tells the blonde hair guy she likes someone else and her hands are completely full and can't hold on to anything else is the clearest sign to Ichikawa that she likes him, and Ichikawa now knows she wasn't just being nice to him. I can't wait anymore to see what happens next. Let's go!!!

    5:14 Not many people talk about this or maybe don't even realize it but their age (13-14 years old) is actually an important aspect as to why this story is good, they are young, immature and childish but they are slowly growing and experiencing so many new things and changes together. It's beautifully portrayed and it wouldn't work nearly as good if they were any younger or older.

    This was a greatly anticipated episode for manga readers with Ichikawa's development, and the anime adaptation delivered well as expected. We see a lot of romance series with the loner boy x popular girl trope - Ichikawa stands out more among that common trope as a male lead with insecurities done well with progressive personal development along the way with the romance.

    With Nanjou (senpai) helping to give Ichikawa an opening after his rejection (says to Ichikawa he left them alone in room together after he left), makes me wonder if he talked to Yamada in the room with Ichikawa in mind for his benefit too, likely knowing his confession would be rejected and give him an opening because he could see the connection Ichikawa and Yamada have already, but had to at least confess before he graduates to move on, maybe getting courage from Ichikawa's speech to do so.
    Like to him, if Yamada somehow accepted his confession (obviously wouldn't happen), he would take that "W" with Ichikawa hearing it too - but likely knowing he would be rejected, he's fine with giving Ichikawa an opening, even playing the bad guy with the lie and had some type of respect for him. Maybe that gives him too much credit, but he seemed like he had some underlying respect for Ichikawa.

    This anime just shows that’s it’s possible to do slow romance if it’s done right. What happens in too many of them is that it feels like the characters take one step forward to their relationship but then 10 steps back, which gets annoying after a while. This anime just slowly keeps going forward, one little baby step at a time and I think that’s why it works so well.

    Even though this show is doesn't quite have the reputation it deserves in the west, it's got the very supporters needed in Japan to make sure we see it through to some kind of conclusion. The people funding the anime know it's a hit. They know it's good. That's why we got a second season confirmed for only two cours after the first season. That's why it looks like the animation budget has only increased over the first season. (I don't think it's just my imagination that there is more sakuga this season than the last.) As long as it keeps the ratings or at least keeps the merch sales up, we'll be okay.
    I think the production committee knew they had a hit on their hands even before the first season started, and that's why they gave it high production values. I wish the people behind Villainess Level 99 had done the same.

  • @ydziros
    @ydziros 9 місяців тому +1

    Ok, so with the button thing explained by other comments, that was 100% confession from her. She new he was listening, she's aloof but not ignorant. We just didn't get his response yet. It could have happened during that small window of alone and we will see it next episode, or it will just happen a bit later. With how far Ichikawa have come, he has no chance but to double down.
    Plus we have Moeko's wild predictions to consider. Yamada is WAY more shaken when she leaves the room. Like, it can still be just the embarrassment from "oh god i confessed", but a little what if? When will Moeko's approach of "go for the stars, will at least reach the moon" actually ring true?
    Whichever way it goes, Ichikawa just has to roll with it. Stopping now would just go against odds. And with how he was doing his hairdresser conversation flowcharts, I'm sure Ichikawa knows that too. Romance manga protag in him is winning over the silent chuuni.

    As for the button thing, it's apparently a form of confession in Japan.
