Isn’t it great when the solution to a problem magically appears on your doorstep? This episode was more predictable than the previous episodes. I knew Nana’s antagonist would be in this episode when we saw she was having writer’s block on how to portray her new antagonist character in her story. Granted, I don’t think she’ll show up within a minute of the issue being figured out, but at least the episode didn’t try to delay the inevitable. If anything, it’s a lot of ground covered in a relatively short amount of time, and this is the only episode where they don’t leave the studio outside of flashbacks. It’s a very minimalist series, and the staff is counting on rival Arisa to really sell it.
I think Arisa does a good job for the most part, but a lot of that depends on the voice actor. different variations Kobayashi Yu The experience of this character is truly impressive. This doesn’t sound realistic since Arisa is probably the most cartoonish character in the entire show so far. But it’s interesting to hear her constantly changing her voice. One minute she’s declaring herself a competitor in an arrogant, almost childish tone, and the next she sounds like a distraught old woman. You can really feel that the actress is having a lot of fun in the booth, and a lot of the comedy in this episode comes from Arisa.
I wish we could convey that message more organically. It definitely felt like the episode was pretty unserious for the most part, and then we were thrown into a wall of depression in the last five minutes, before finally ending on another positive note. The news itself is actually pretty good. Arisa’s character wasn’t in a good place after her series was canceled, and she seems to have been dealing with depression. She doesn’t sleep well and I like that this episode highlights the idea of needing to do something that you know will be done in a few weeks. However, you are not done with it because you are approaching the conclusion; you are not done with it yet. You’re finishing it because you’re told it’s over. This is a very frustrating situation, but it’s one that happens to a lot of authors and creators. How Arisa displays all this bravado when deep down she’s so upset about a very understandable situation still hits home. This episode might introduce the idea while being weird, like previous episodes have done.
As it stands, Arisa will be a regular member of the cast, and I’m curious to see what they’ll do with her. I don’t think she’s here to be a real rival to Nana because they don’t really have a rivalry. If anything, I liked the way this episode glossed over the rivalry between Nana and Arisa by downplaying it. But now that this metaphor is out of the way, we’ve finished explaining what Arisa’s problem is.
