Hi guys, I've been trying to catch up so I can blog ontime for the next episode! So I'm trying to speed through my thoughts on each episode before Episode 12 is released this week! So bare with me guys.
Whoa it seems like in this episode Banri regains his composure after his encounter with this ghost past. Things start to get interesting as he finally realizes that there is something more than different about him. That there might be a possibility that there is another side(personality) residing within himself. Hopefully he finally understands himself a bit more after finding that he may have some *spark* left for Linda. Especially in this episode with Linda in on the scene when he's caught that fever and taking care of him, things just seems like they are taking a dive to another side of love. Clearly, things might tend to be messy especially with him having some residing feelings for Linda as she seems more like a "real" goal than Kouko, who is someone that he's put on a pedestal and out of his league. I'm expecting that there will be some more self conflict between him choosing Linda or Kouko, since this episode has executed clearly that Banri is aware of his own decisions.
Linda
Wow, am I falling for Linda... This episode just shows the sweet side of things, like when you first take a bite out of an apple. Linda's genuinely just too sweet and a nice person but yet timid. This episode really shines out Linda's compassion and personality as a caregiver. Taking care of someone when they're sick and giving them bread and medication... really makes me cheer on for Linda! Definitely someone I would marry xD. On the side note, I really don't like the fact though that she's playing the bigger "sister" like how she was in high school with Banri to hide her facade of love for him. Truly saddens me that she does this. Why can't things just go nicely between them? :(
That Photo of Banri and Linda
Well it seems like this episode it may have revealed some gruesome truth of what happened to the photograph and as to why Kouko's feeling very depressed, anxious, and so on. She's an in secured girl, and not knowing what Linda's relationship was like with Banri before pushes her out on the ledge. Especially with Banri keeping this a secret from her, after all telling her he has no recollection of his past(Episode 4). Her trust in him must have taken a little dive, or rather her trust in herself has taken a huge dive.
Kouko
Haha, another comedic entrance. She never ceases to amuse once again. Her entry into his house is as it was in the first episode. Those roses and the way she makes her entry shows us a couple things about her. She will never give up on who she loves and she will fight it no matter what. But jokingly aside, she actually makes a nice entrance because of its comedy. It breaks so much of the tension that was in the first half of this episode. Especially with Banri's depressive episode of self conflict between choosing which girl he loves. However, even if Mitsuo and 2d-kun was dragged into her situation of her perception of cheating, at least she doesn't keep her feelings secretive. In this case, she actually tells Banri that she was worried that there was another girl. This is one the feats of Kouko I really like, as long as a girl you love is true to herself, things will eventually work out. In addition I feel that the producers actually executed her pretty well too as she stayed for the duration when Banri was sleeping just to tell him that she wants to go to the beach with him. It really reflects the parallel idea of care giving, compassionate, loveable and all those tingly feelings you get when compared to Linda. - Making you hard to decide who he should be paired up with! Although I do feel like shes keeping the secret between the photograph of Banri x Linda a secret... makes me kind of worry that theres going to be some more drama!! It's really not like Kouko to be so secretive, but I mean, we're dealing with complex relationships here and girls got to have their own secrets sometimes!
Mitsuo & 2d-Kun
Comedic as usual, as part of their entry into their house it was very enjoyable to break the serious tension early and between Kouko x Banri x Linda to make it seem less tense. Very enjoyable and they really shine out as side characters to build up a sense of enjoyment and character development for the rest.
Nana Senpai
She also adds a bit of spice to this episode as shes very tsun tsun if you know what I mean. Under all that "cosplay" and make up is someone I feel that is gentle inside. I mean, if she lives with Linda, roommates have to be very similarly alike in other to live together right? If that wasn't that case they wouldn't have still shared rooms together for their second year in college. *Cough* (my own experiences with bad roommates) -.-''.
Final thoughts on this episode
I have this anxious feeling about Kouko, I know from a fact that this whole anime has developed her as an open extrovert but yet a person who fails to make friends, and may tend to be socially awkward. However, she's at least true to herself and knows clearly what goals she wants (regarding to who she wants). So she's been a person that's able to express herself clearly but this episode draws upon a darker side of her that worries me. That secret of the photograph and her knowledge of it while not mentioning it to Banri about it at all. Clearly, we know that Banri and Linda likes to keep things secretive and look what happen to their past... Things were never resolved and things just hit the bricks for them. I truly hope that this doesn't happen :(. On the other hand, I really loved how Linda played out in this episode as a caregiver. #1 COMPASSIONATE PARTNER GUYS. Gauranteed. All in all, I hope that Banri doesn't takes things next level with his indecisive feelings. I mean it is certain that you regain some recollection of your past, but if you really throw all that away for what you have in the present, kind of eats at me inside a bit.
Definite 9/10 for this episode. Good execution producers,especially with the comedy break in between. Nicely done.
