Hizune and Masotan - Episode 6: The bond between D-Pai and OTF is touching! And a deepening mystery!

I will scream your name."

When I saw this title, it hit me that it was about Eru Hoshino. It is quite an emo title, and it seems to promise excitement. However, it is difficult to actually overcome that hurdle because the picture, music, and direction all have to be of a high standard, but this work is a safe bet.

The three of them, Hishine, Ririko, and Mayumi, have become good friends and are getting used to their survival lifestyle. However, only Eru Hoshino did not give up making rafts and worked silently. However, after this, Mayumi also said, "I feel sorry for Hoshino-san, too," but her stubbornness and the way she was cornered were so unusual or extreme that everyone watching the show must have felt that there was something wrong with her, too. I think that kind of way of taking the drama to the next level is quintessential.

Then the scene where OTF and Eru Hoshino meet is interspersed, and it's super cool, but scary! And. If I was eaten by that, it would be a level of trauma (laughs). The "F-2" is different from other cute OTFs. And the sound of water heard after this scene, was it the sound of seawater cooling?　That kind of detailed direction is wonderful.

And Nao looking up at the sky and worrying about everyone (how good a guy is he?). And Aunt Joa, who casually calls out. What is this word that doesn't seem to make any sense? ...... It seems that Aunt Joa no longer cares what she says, no matter what the line is. And Nao, whose response to Iiboshi-san is the same, is becoming a nicer and nicer character .......

The three of them are worried if the F-2, which keeps maintaining foxtrot (fighter mode) all the time, is getting hotter because it can't dissipate the heat. Then, with their signature licking of Hishine, they realize something. I thought she was just a pervert, but her tongue had an important role in the story, judging whether it was saltwater or not, and I was even impressed that she could really come up with such an idea.

I heard that the licking performance was ad-libbed by Ms. Kuno, but afterwards she casually called them by their TAC names, and when it was pointed out to her, she said in a secret voice, "Ha, I've been caught! I was caught. When it was pointed out, Hizune said, "You caught me!" The cute way she cheerfully said, "Hizune de! when he calls her by her nickname instead of her TAC name. This kind of relaxed performance may have come from the fact that it was done in Presco. Eru's performance when she tries to escape on a raft and fails is also good. In this animation, the pictures and the play really fit together perfectly.

The face of Hishine crying over Nao's doll face that was washed away by the heavy rain was very cute, and after that, Hishine and her friends were able to save Eru who was trapped under the tree because of the message from F-2. At this point, Eru's past, the Zero fighter, and the image of the OTF mimicking a "Ki-46-00" command reconnaissance plane are interspersed. Moreover, they all had the same dream, a strange resonance. There is a sense that something is about to happen between the four of them.

Eru confides her feelings: she joined the Self-Defense Forces and worked hard to become an F-2 pilot, but because she was selected for the OTF, she could not become an F-2 pilot. We learn that the frustration from such a situation is what made her like that. The day before, Eru had let the afterburner go off to warn her that she was in trouble, and the F-2, having reached the limit of its endurance, finally screamed. Eru was still stubborn, but Hishine found the answer as to why OTF kept the foxtrot going. In other words, she wanted to fulfill Eru's wish.

You're not a plane, you're a dragon. You don't have to dress like that for me. You don't have to do that anymore, you can show me who you really are, so don't die, Norma! With Eru's words, Norma is released and becomes one. Eru's admission of his mistake inside Norma's body was also very moving.

The four D-Pai members returned to the base. It was cool to see them walking in the backlight, but it was also interesting to see Hishine, who was firmly alone and slippery. And Nao, who said, "They look so pissed off, don't they?" and ran off with a youthful line, is a character I can't help but hate.

Eru Hoshino was a super tsundere character who had been calling OTF F-2 for a long time, but actually had firmly named it Norma. And what is the relationship between Aunt Joa and D-Pai?　What was enshrined on that island? And so on. Episode 6, which was full of mysteries as in the previous episodes, was also very interesting.
