Episode 8

Everyone's Reactions

Mihime breaking down with her final 'sorry' was so heartfelt and adorable. I loved how her emotions were all over her face, and her sudden blonde hair looked great, especially with the behind-the-scenes voice acting trivia. Yota and Minato's tears were heartbreaking too, highlighting the painful beauty of youth as they deal with their misunderstandings and the backlash from suppressed feelings. Seeing Mihime choose to be her true self instead of forcing herself to fit in really gave me a boost. The fact that they can resolve things through conversation is one of this show's charms, and I'm excited to see what kind of 'Ice Wall Mode' comes next. Episode 8, titled 'Equally Bright,' lived up to its name with everyone shining equally. It was really nice.
