Bro, I confess, I just cried a little bit with this episode… the girls was so determined to help Anna-chan, they worked so hard on the dance and Carnaval, and Anna-chan love for her friends was so heartwarming!

There is only 5 episodes until now and I just cried, I’m loving this anime! 🥰

My fear became true, and Kanata really came over her condition in one episode.


Not necessarily.

I've gotten used to the kind of loose way the plot of this one is handled and different characters' issues are delved into or put on the backburner seemingly at "random" or with little sense - it just seems like a Slice of Life in no rush to go anywhere despite dramatic flashbacks suggesting a heavier plot in waiting - but I largely agree with the gist of your other criticisms in that something which is hard to identify as one thing (and it could be numerous factors) does make this one a little underwhelming and less impactful than it otherwise could be.

But regarding Kanata's illness specifically, it may not be a linear trajectory of recovery. Remember that prior to her freakout during the tryouts she performed what was in many ways an even more difficult and much more daring and dangerous stunt in the city streets when she leapt over cars and "flew". Then an episode or two later, whenever it was, she couldn't handle a more textbook stunt she would have probably practiced performing many times before even in a safe controlled environment like the school gymnasium.

Maybe it is key triggers which bring out her psychological state in those instances, like being expected to perform as part of a much larger team or in the presence of people she doesn't trust or is afraid of letting down or endangering the safety of. Like that older girl Hana. Maybe she'll be fine for several more episodes in a row and then it will only resurface when she is expected to perform at a certain moment in a certain context toward the end of the season/series.

There isn't any real reason why it has to be resolved yet or not. It can go either way.

Lol all the awkward English. They pronounce words fairly well just the VAs havent learned English is more uneven breathy which is where the uncanny sound comes from.

Heh the little comment how YJ should be JY was amusing.

Was a cute episode though i liked how excited everyone was for the record store to not be shut down. I dont know why YJ didnt originally consider just relocating though if it was that bad a location.

This show needs more cheerleading or acrobatics at least.

Dead Carnival? Carnival of the dead? How to make an unexciting dance performance(with example)?
I mean, they've even inserted "meanwhile in a shop" sequence and that sequence was more fun than generic anisong and 3D choreography.
How about Latino banger, close ups, camera rolls, audience rolls and shots? No budget, I guess.

Whoa, Anna was beating the shit out of that punching bag.
Annoying her sounds like a bad idea.
