Episode 17

Everyone's Reactions

The atmosphere felt like time was just passing by with nothing but music—really soothing. I read in the manga that it was impactful there too, but seeing it animated brought out another kind of beauty that made me go 'wow!' I really wanted to see everything from a first-person perspective... and because of that, the framed shots and direction really hit home, giving us plenty of cool moments. Shiba's nickname being based on her resembling a Shiba Inu is just too cute. Watching Hoshi get all worked up and angry at Koshiba's teasing gave us a peek into their slightly mismatched dynamic, which made me curious about them. So glad the dog was found near the roses! I totally get why that moment was such a big deal. It was also kind of endearing to see the animation director struggling a bit with drawing the pup—it just added to the charm. The two Fighters Girls checked in, and their cheer uniforms are adorable. I'm already looking forward to Request 18!
