I really love this arc so much. Yuki being a red herring seeming at first bad news then turning out to be simply a skilled cinnamon bun, Mem unexpectedly being the third idol member after a subtle presence right at the end, Akane's... just everything. The serious in story moments, real world lessons, and entertaining throughout. It's so good.
What I appreciate in this episode is that Aqua is upfront with her and doesn't lead her on. I also really love Mem-cho and her whole backstory. This is literally what she's always wanted.❤
Regarding your conversation about Aqua and Ruby at the end, they each inherited one star from their mother. Ruby is the Love and Aqua is the Lies. Ruby's star glows when she wants to do something earnestly and with love and Aqua's star gets black when he's about to do something unethical.
The stars represents lies/ability to lie, thats why only people who act like someone else (lies) or people who actually have secrets have them (Aqua, Ruby, Ai and Akane), thats why when Kana outshone everyone she had more like galaxy eyes and not stars (in the same way as Ai).
@@alejandromonteromendez35 That doesn't really make sense, since even when they tell the truth they have the stars in their eyes. And those stars may change colors depending on whether or not they're lying, and what the lies are about. But those stars are there regardless.
@@alejandromonteromendez35In the manga they reveal what the star eyes mean, well the black ones. Not sure about the white ones. Also kind of like how y'all brought up Ai. I realize that the show compares Kana and Akane to Ai a lot, but with Akane she pretends to be Ai while kana is more naturally like her. Kana outshine her peers most of the time, goes through a similar moment to Ai (which also had the same animation to Ai for the scene) and is the only girl that aqua has confirmed to be a fan of other than Ai.
Mem feeling lonely when the show ends makes sense when you learn she once dreamt of being an idol. She really wants to be part of a group and have that comradery over being solo.
@@Urielthalas I know; didn't want to use it cause many have misconceptions about it. Could be said that what Akane did is close, but not entirely 'method acting'.
I am so fast! My favorite moment from this episode. 10:45 Aqua is planning to use Akane for his revenge and he isn't aware that by kissing her he also hurts Kana's feelings. 😢 Great reaction!😃 Edit: To me stars are indications of let's call it a "star quality". ✨ The larger those stars in eyes become, the bigger acting capabilities are presented. Also the color of stars are telling to us viewers what are the intensions of characters who have those eyes. White stars are showing good intensions, while black stars- bad.
@@adon3h1 its really true bro... In the latest chapter of manga(161), Aqua completely accepted that all this time he wanted to respond towards kana's feelings towards him and he truly loved her.
@@Sujal-j5o Romantic love isn't the only kind of love. In that regard, Aqua's love for Ruby is even greater. And if i remeber correctly, the translated dialogue said "respond Arima's feelings"; there's a debate about the difference between 'responde' and 'reciprocate' (it's not definitive), but i'm pretty sure that nowhere in that panel is literally stated that Aqua 'truly loved her'. By the way it ended, seems that no one is going to win the ship war anyway.
@@adon3h1 I agree with you, yeah it's true that he loves ruby the most. And yeah its better to stop these ship wars too. Btw have you read the latest chapter 162 ?? Any possible outcomes coming in your mind??
@@Sujal-j5o I don't read the manga, but i know where the story is at. About possible outcomes, i would advise to not give it that much thought. If Aqua dies or survives is not the point, but how it is done. I would keep low expectations. Recent events confirm this notion that mangakas in general have struggles giving closure to their stories (like MHA or Jujutsu Kaisen). Whatever he chooses to do, i hope it doesn't backfire that much in social media.

The star like in eyes was just symbolic for persona
Kana is Aqua's only friend around his age so it's only natural Aqua goes to Kana for a real conversation without ulterior motive
I also think of it as him having known her before Ai's death back when he was still happy.
Another thing to add is that he gets along really well with Mem-cho because she's the oldest friend he has so she relates to his "mental" age
Regarding your conversation about Aqua and Ruby at the end, they each inherited one star from their mother. Ruby is the Love and Aqua is the Lies. Ruby's star glows when she wants to do something earnestly and with love and Aqua's star gets black when he's about to do something unethical.
personally i feel star represents the confidence but sparkle represents the love and passionate towards something and Ai had both.

We can only see the true genuine chill aqua when he is around kana 😇😊

S2 is ending this sunday, when would y'all start that?
We’ll go straight into it after S1, no delay or change in schedule
@@CaraPrezReactsThe star basically represents your ability to lie.You can consider that for now.
@@TheGamerdude103but I don’t think ruby’s lying?🤔
@@gideoncheung8731 She is lying about who her mother is constantly.
@@TheGamerdude103 i never thought about it this way😳
Thats method acting ig, thats what youre getting at
0:44 In vague terms they call them chameleons or shapeshifters.
maybe, but "method actor" was the term he was really looking for
@@Urielthalas I know; didn't want to use it cause many have misconceptions about it.

Aqua and Ruby; the two sides of Ai ✨🫶 (and they each got an eye to prove it haha)

And the best one at that, but that’s for another debate…
Kana is best girl, you filthy heathen!
But you right, Mem is great.
So glad you will continue with the S2 , personally I think this show is more enjoyable when you bing it all together instead week to week
So, what's it going to be: Oshi No Ko, Apothecary Diaries, Frieren. These three shows are all top 10 shows.
1:00 are you thinking of method acting
Another peak episode
Guys please. You keep uploading right after each other and I’m not allowed to sleeeeep
I don’t think falling in love is the right words. he was a fan before , not in love with Ai
You mean Stanislavski's system?
I think he was thinking of method acting, but that wasn't really what Akane was doing.
As a manga reader kana is the only love of aqua ❤
I don't watch the anime nor read the manga, yet i know that's not true.
