Hizune and Masotan" episode 8 review: Aunt Joa's true identity is revealed! Can you keep up with the rapid development as mysteries are revealed one after another?

Every single time, "Hishine and Masotan" has a great last pull, but the previews are awful (a compliment). The identity of Aunt Joa is quickly revealed in the avant-garde. It is also a good point that they foreshadowed it in an easy-to-understand way.

What surprised me more than Aunt Joa was the opening. I felt a bit jealous of the scene between Eru and Zaizou at the beginning, but then the melody diverged at the chorus!　It is a serious development, but when the drawing, lyrics, and singing all come together, an indescribable feeling of excitement washes over me. If you are watching on NETFLIX, I strongly urge you not to skip the intro.

The identity of Iiboshi Shikibu-kan, aka Administrative Vice Minister Iiboshi, is also revealed. The size of Silkman, who is not surprised at all despite the fact that he was cheated by the "Kingdom" last week, is also impressive.

It is revealed that Matsurigoto is a Shinto ritual that is held once every 74 years with all the power of the nation, and that OTF is a terrible thing that can cause enormous damage if handled incorrectly. The OTF's role is to guide Mitatsu-sama, the head of the OTF, to the place where he wakes up every 74 years and goes to sleep for the next sleep, Fushido. Furthermore, a new fact is casually revealed that the island itself was Mitatsu-sama itself. It was so casual that I could not instantly understand what was being said.

It was as if they had thrown in a frightening amount of new information in the first five minutes, but the atmosphere between Mr. Okonogi and Hishine was as good as ever. Finally, Grandma Joa appeared in her military uniform!　I had always thought of her as an old lady, but it turns out that she was a D-pie 74 years ago, which means she was a crazy old lady!　She is too young, with a straight back. And then, "Careful!" The "Careful! I knew from the very first episode that she was not a free spirit since her CV was Rumi Park, but I never expected her to bring out her sullenness here: ....... Iboshi also changed her voice in the first half of the episode, but the tension she felt at that point could only be felt in anime, and only by voice actors. After all, Sada-san, a pilot who had been active during the war as a nymph of Rabaul, told them that Mitatsu-sama would move slowly over three days and three nights, and in Part A, D-Pai and his crew's faces were drawn back.

The usual eye-catcher was "Hishimaso, hishimaso, hishimaso, shau! and everyone would have said, "Is this a Gundam? The B part is about the training for the day when the operation will be launched three months later. Nao gently sends off Hizune and the others, who have been training to fly for three days and three nights, saying, "Don't fall asleep. Although Nao has recently been taking a watchful eye, one can't help but wonder if she has a bigger role in store for them.

Flying at very low speeds of 30 to 40 kilometers is impossible for fighter planes, so it turns out that this is a role that only the OTF can perform. In actual training, the focus shifts to how they can unite their minds with the OTF and be able to fly in their dreams while sleeping. However, the trust with OTF is so strong that they cannot leave OTF alone and go to sleep! D-Pai and the others try their best. This, in turn, disrupted OTF's flight. Then, Sada-san, who flew with Flight Group Leader Kakiho in the T-4 791, gave a warning to the D-Peis!　The so-called "limited time offer! It was like recovering the title of "Super Spicy Granny Flavor," but he said, "I fly as one with them, body and soul. Why can't you do this wonderful thing?　You fools!" Hishine recoils when she is told. I met Masotan and was able to have a dream to work hard as a D-pipe. I've been flying with Masotan in my dreams for a long time!

Although it is a wrong dream, it does not mean that I do not trust Masotan and do not sleep with her! Hishine falls asleep at the limit after saying "I'm not going to sleep with Masotan!

The good thing about Hizune, who says everything, is that you know she means it and that her true feelings are very pure. So when she says something with force, it becomes something that will stay with you...the girl was pursuing "something only she can do" at the beginning of episode 1, and this exchange gave me the feeling that she will accomplish something.

As D Pai and the others slept soundly, conversely, OTF's flight stabilized. The four of them had the same dream again, but the old OTF that appeared there was Masotan, or what was it?

Moreover, just when we thought it was the end of the story, a new character, Misu Minatsume, appeared and told us that Okonogi was Okonogi Haruhito Taifu, a member of the Shinto priesthood. Many things really happened in episode 8, but I was most impressed by Sada-san's glare and fearful expression when the miko appeared on the scene. What was the meaning of that expression? And what was that preview about when I was so anxious to see the rest of the story? (laugh). And the next title was "Gaaaah! (And the next title is "Gah!!!"). If you are interested in the rest of the story, you can read a surprisingly solid preview on the official site.

In the second half of the story, as mentioned in the interview with Taisei Iwasaki, I have a feeling that there will be a big change musically as well. I used up all my letters just writing about the newly revealed information for that second half, but episode 8 was quite interesting.
