I used to be fairly cautious concerning the course of the present after final week’s episode, as a result of I wasn’t certain how a lot I’d just like the shift in perspective and the way abruptly it distanced me from all of Nodoka’s issues after the primary three episodes. Nonetheless, I needed to be optimistic as a result of I appreciated what these first few episodes needed to provide and I wasn’t passing judgment till this new storyline had concluded. Now that it has, I can safely say that it was disappointing, and I’m critically frightened about what to anticipate from the remainder of the present.
After listening to Anna’s state of affairs from Nodoka, Kanata and the others provide you with a cheer routine to assist the document retailer. This feels a little bit odd in and of itself. Whereas I perceive that these women need to assist their buddy, since that is largely about coping with the enterprise of somebody they do not know, it nonetheless appears like they’re overstepping the mark right here. It actually does not assist that they do most of this with out Anna’s information, and since they even go as far as to enroll in an area competition to do it, it appears like one thing they need to have included her in from the beginning. Anna finds herself getting angrier about the entire state of affairs as a result of the chums she’s made on the retailer aren’t a lot assist, so she understandably does not react effectively when the women suggest their answer. Very similar to with Kanata’s state of affairs, all it takes is a couple of phrases of encouragement from the others. Anna decides to go together with their plan, although she is aware of it most likely will not do a lot good.
As shaky as that’s, it’s nothing in comparison with the precise decision. When the day of the competition arrives and the women begin dancing, Anna’s associates from abroad additionally present as much as present their assist. Whereas that could be a bit too tacky for my tastes, it might be straightforward sufficient to disregard if that was all there was to it. What’s a lot more durable to disregard is that her associates are additionally widespread musicians, and their presence drives loads of site visitors to YJ’s retailer. It’s a stage of comfort that takes the scene from heartwarming to ridiculous and kind of undermines this whole plot. Except for how clearly foolish the thought of that is, it additionally looks like everybody concerned is fairly dumb, contemplating a couple of social media posts from these guys selling the shop most likely may have resolved this whole battle. The one excellent news right here is that the women’ cheer routine doesn’t magically save the shop, however given how this turned out, it virtually appears like it might have been probably the most plausible choice.
The true spotlight is that YJ continues to be contemplating closing the shop, however he retains it open purely for Anna’s sake. His answer to bringing in additional prospects is to… open a restaurant on the primary flooring, which, you understand, is not precisely a nasty enterprise choice, but in addition appears like a call he most likely ought to have considered earlier than issues acquired so dire.
I do not prefer to be this choosy about plot issues, as a result of I do not assume a narrative wants excellent logic to be efficient, however that is such a downright weird decision that it is exhausting to not. It feels far too simplistic for a way messy of a difficulty the sequence was wrestling with, and whereas I used to be prepared to offer the advantage of the doubt when Kanata acquired over her yips situation in a equally straightforward method, seeing this overly neat decision right here now makes me fear that it may need been a characteristic fairly than a bug. Since that is all wrapping up with out realizing the main points of what occurred to Anna’s father, I am prepared to carry out some hope that the sequence would possibly do one thing extra with it down the highway, however even when it does, I am not assured it’s going to nail the execution. There’s nonetheless loads of time for this sequence to show issues round, so I am not prepared to jot down it off simply but. But when this seems to be an indication of issues to return, I am unsure I need to hold cheering on this cheerleading present.
Judgement:
