'Hizune and Masotan' Episode 9 Thoughts: "Gahhhh!" a famous scene that will go down in anime history.

This work is one in which you can really feel the greatness of the actor's performance. Normally, I am the type of viewer who is more interested in the greatness of the pictures, but since I had heard that this work was done by a prescreening company, I often thought that the actors were able to create the pictures in this way. That's how great the impact of that "tongue-in-cheek" was. ......It's a lie, that "Gaaaah! was amazing.

If you've seen a lot of anime, you know that when a girl starts running, it's already a great scene. It happened in "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time," "Your Name," and "Hibike! Euphonium. Euphonium. Just a little bit of imagination will bring out the great running scenes. And such scenes in Mari Okada's works are definitely emo (*The script for episode 9 was written by Akiko Waba). I am a fan of Mari Okada's work, so I know that, but it is different from any of them. Misaki Kuno created the legend of the heroine who runs while screaming "Gah! She is truly amazing. I feel like I've said nothing but great things about her in this column.... By the way, the music in this scene was also addictive and it was like a movie.

And so, episode 9, the coupling that had been flagging so far, Hishine and Kokonogi, and Eru Hoshino and Zaibo, made progress all at once. The way they build up their feelings is wonderful. Eru, who had been sharp, is actually pure, hardworking, and cute, and Zaisei, who had been a flirtatious character, is surprisingly serious. The character of Zaibou, who was once a flirtatious character, is now surprisingly serious. The way he makes the viewers empathize with him is really good.

Natsume, a miko (shrine maiden), made the viewers aware of her feelings toward Hizune! And Natsume is so healthy that she believes in him and brings him a cola!

But when she happens to find Hizune there, she cries when she sees that Hizune is wearing the same strap as Okonogi, which is totally a shoujo manga, and I personally loved it.

The relationship between Hishine and Natsume is also traced to Grandmother Joa's past relationship with a miko, and the word "wedge woman" that came from Sosoda and the miko during the story, as well as Iiboshi's words "It seems to pierce me when I think about the future," foreshadowed something that is likely to happen in the future. The word "wedge woman" and Iiboshi's words, "It seems to pierce me when I think of the future. It was a one-cour episode, but I felt like I was encountering something amazing.

The group who knew what was going on told us to be careful of "anastomosis," but when we looked up the meaning of anastomosis, we found that it means "a perfect fit. I don't know what it means, but at the end, that anastomosis that I had feared happens. Does it mean that D-pai and OTF are too much in sync once they know they are in love?　OTF is in danger of aggressively trying to digest D-Pai, and Hishine and Eru's suits melt and then get violently spat out. The painfulness of the ground hitting them at that point was staged like a homage to the above movie, but with a greater degree of shock to the viewer.

However, Iiboshi said, "It's up to them to take it as a bad thing," and I think he was chuckling when Sada said, "Looks like it was too late," a little before that. considering the messy operation in episode 7, it seems as if the operation is still going on and going according to his plan. And finally, "You're in love, aren't you?" Iiboshi's scary expression of "I'm in love with you, aren't I? Again, it was an interesting conclusion to the next week's episode.

What to do with the feeling of love, I think, is a very important theme, apart from the role. Because I don't know if you dedicate those feelings or they eat you up, but it must be quite painful. Well, episode 9 was as interesting as ever. ......
