I suspect that will be what the eventual Revue between Karen and Mahiru will be about.

That was hilarious, but the resolution was pretty unsatisfying.

As much as I bellyached earlier, I will say that watching subs that actually include the lyrics for the Revue softened me on the latest episode a bit. Karen's still leaning a bit harder on the Clueless Shounen Protagonist schtick than I feel is entirely kind considering how much Mahiru's actually opened herself up to her, but the song at least has her actually talk to her as an individual a bit more instead of just coming off as "Oh yeah! Mahiru!! You're...one of...my...uh...classmates, right?" Still hope they flesh this dynamic out at least a little bit more at some point, though. Mahiru vs Hikari could be a good opportunity, assuming it's coming.

Futaba and Kaoruko episode was real good married couple spat episode but with song! Also next week is Banana episode and she wants the script to be tradtional from the post credit bit. So I expect Banana-drama

The people complaining about the Karen Mahiru episode seem to have completely missed the point that Mahiru's jealously was born of her latching on to Karen and forgetting her own ambitions in the process and that Karen was under no obligation to return those feelings that someone had just decided on their own. The episode ended with her realising that she wanted to be a star for herself and her dream which was a fine resolution. And everybody ate potatoes.

Well that sure was not a Bananice episode! Nana wanting to stay trapped in the brilliance of the 99th play and repeating it sure was something. And the show really upped the visual oppression to show this and how the stress of stage plays can also affect things. And that end bit where Nana stares at the camera wanting Hikari for her same version of the play is sure something. This really sets the stage for a great ending

I love what they do with ED. Like in Hisone and Masotan, dropping the vocals completely is suitably weird and offputting.

I'm sure she feels on some level like she can't, or maybe shouldn't sing the way the others can. Anyway I can't loving believe that this show has two Homuras in it.

This episode made me do a rewatch, and they set this reveal up masterfully in episode 3. My other realisation for the night was "Yeah the Giraffe is cute! Kirin is a funny name, why does it sound familiar? Motherfucker..."

Did Banana just fall for the oldest trick on the wish wording book? Giraffe: And now that you are the Top Star, what is the "stage" that you have sought? Banana: It's still so blinding. Giraffe: I do not know how many times we have done this, but... Very well. Banana: Hey... Why? Why are you doing this for me? Giraffe: The moment a Stage Girl becomes a Top Star [...] An eternal stage no one can foresee! I... wish to see that. Banana: An eternal stage... that no one can foresee.

Banana is definitely keeping everyone time-locked cause she doesn't want everyone to move on and change however they will, whether they drift apart or grow further. The fact she takes pictures of everything kinda reinforces this

Watching it again, it’s neat to see how the first performance of Starlight reflects their future status if Hikari had not entered the picture, like implying that Kaoruko would have definitely left unlike how the last episode resolved. In essence Hikari’s presence is causing everyone to go off-script

When I rewatch the show it's going to be super fun to pick out stuff that has a new meaning thanks to Banana's wish, not just stuff like trying to bribe Hikari with muffins

I caught up on this show amd thread and I gotta say the people mad about how Karen handled her roomie are absolutely baffling because she never said anything about any romantic intentions and karen very clearly didn't reciprocate those feelings even when they were revealed. She handled it very gracefully when in all honesty she had no obligations to deal with the hidden advances of someone she had no interest in in that way. The girl was about 2 days from a reddit post about how she's been such a good friend and so helpful and nice to Karen why won't she just fall in love with me on r/friendszone. I'm glad she got herself figured out and out of that awful outlook.

Spiritus Nox posted:Anyway I can't loving believe that this show has two Homuras in it. I've seen multiple people reference Penguindrum with regards to this episode, but I'd like to refer back to Utena. Nostalgia and Recapturing The Way Things Were are the weaknesses for almost the entire cast and the conflict is driven by their unwillingness to move on and achieve personal growth.

One thing that is interesting is that Maya is right, there is no going back to that first production where everyone was happy and no-one competed or was hurt. Because that only existed in Daiba's mind who sailed through on natural talent yet fine with whatever role she was assigned. The reality is the competition was cut-throat, there are no minor characters in the play nor the show, if you don't get a role, you are generic background schoolgirl 14. Each time Daiba gets her wish, she remembers the past continuously, she isn't repeating that first play only getting further and further away, to the point the Hikari isn't a wrench in her plans so much as another tool in her shed. Daiba isn't looping the same period like the others, she is moving along to a future that only gets more and more miserable, yet won't stop because she's terrified the alternative could be worse and in her mind the only way to see it she either has to give up control or embrace a system she despises. edit: It actually is worse because for a while she believes she has subverted The Audition, until she asks the Kirin who tells her she is putting on a glorious performance just as the other Stage Girls were, sure she isn't the lead role of Starlight but she has taken the lead role in Daiba Nana's Excellent Adventure. Or if you want to get meta Episode 7. Yak of Wrath fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Aug 28, 2018 |

This is a good post. Daiba is also refusing to acknowledge that theater, being a live performance, will never be the same way twice. If she can't accept this aspect of the art, she shouldn't be doing it. ETA: Anyone want to discuss why it is that the characters as have similar weapons as goddesses as they do during the fight, but Daiba's hands are empty in her closeup? We're seeing the characters as the personifications of theirs stage roles (lines, weapons), which raises questions about why they were cast in the first place, and whether the changes in them due to the duels will be reflected by changes in the cast. I get the sense that Daiba is searching for the high that comes from live performance (practice + camaraderie + nerves) and it hasn't set in that she can't recapture it just by replicating the circumstances.
