Episode 10 offers a delicate launch for Komari and the senior college students of the literature membership.
I don’t usually use that phrase to sum up an episode, however this one was a really satisfying outing. There’s some interpersonal drama and realizations, a couple of mildly tense moments, however nothing too pressing. It’s largely a slow-moving clockwork over the course of a pageant day, punctuated by character interactions, largely shut one-on-ones and overheard conversations. It makes for nice, straightforward viewing all through its working time, and there are many candy moments and comedic beats.
Maybe the opposite essential phrase for this episode is closure. Various examples this week contain tying up unfastened ends. The emotional threads which were fluttering within the tumultuous winds of college since Komari’s confession on the journey are lastly tended to and wrapped up. Komari will get a closing second with Tamaki—when she thinks she’s orchestrated it cleverly, however possibly not—and likewise will get numerous time with Nukumizu. It’s a mixture of form gestures and heartfelt goodbyes, together with a passing of the torch to the subsequent technology. These are simply the suitable emotional beats to hit in a fall episode, so far as I’m involved. The willingness to maintain these threads within the background however give them a delicate touchdown towards the top of the season was very good, I feel—hats off to the inventive crew for having the braveness to let that simmer for thus lengthy.
And naturally it’s only a fantastically animated piece of weekly tv. I’ve usually repeated myself on this regard, however it’s a deal with to see so many on a regular basis actions and on a regular basis individuals animated with affection and aplomb. Faculty hallways and classroom pets, occasion costumes and on a regular basis garments, recurring characters and passers-by; in artwork and life the reality stays that there’s nothing fairly as stunning as the easy issues.
