Episode 6 returns to the format of the earlier episodes and it appears like little new or thrilling is finished with the characters.
I knew I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up too excessive after final week. I actually felt like we ended up in an awesome place on the finish of episode 5, with new character dynamics and a contemporary sense of momentum. As a substitute of constructing on that, we return to the identical nicely the present drew from at first – and the outcomes are lots duller due to it.
The most important disappointment for me is how repetitive this feels. Even on this episode, we get a number of jokes alongside the strains of “somebody opens a door and sees one thing naughty, however it’s all a misunderstanding.” Mikari, Ririsa, and Okumura do not do a lot new both, they largely rehash the identical character motivations we already know. So all the identical jokes, similar character motivations, similar tropes, in the identical location; it is simply sort of boring.
The one new state of affairs is with the costume occasion picture coaching session. There is a chance to do one thing new, however that is additionally wasted by speaking about pictures in a manner that reveals nothing new to the viewers. There’s a variety of normal philosophy in regards to the connection between a photographer and the cosplayer however I hoped we’d no less than get some element on picture methods and the way to method photoshoots—one thing like that. Lots of time spent and little studying, one other large miss.
On the very least, there is a new wrinkle launched with the clubroom underneath strain. I hope this results in extra compelling battle or new character revelations, as a result of I might prefer to see our solid progress as a substitute of being caught in limbo.
