Thoughts on "Hizune and Masotan" Episode 11: Kugyu's performance is superb. ...... And then a rapid development towards the end of the show!

It is like a suspense drama where you can tell who the culprit is by looking at the names of the actors, and there is a tremendous sense of conviction that this is the right person, whether it is Grandma Joa or Flight Commander Kakibo. Speaking of which, in "Toradora! Mari Okada and Rie Kugimiya worked together on "Toradora! That work changed my perception of Kugimiya's acting (I know I sound like a nobody when I say that, but ......), and that's why I wasn't particularly surprised by Kakiyasu's sharpness in episode 11. .......

The monster movie-like descriptions were interspersed with a Higuchi film feel, and the film was filled with the shock of "Sadasan's riding in! I was shocked. It is typical of this work that the explanation that a suit that makes you want to say something is useful is all it takes to convince you. In short, this is a work with a sense of speed that could have been done in two episodes but was done in one, so you will have to compensate for the details with your imagination.

Mitatsu-sama in a huge cumulonimbus cloud. Dad is back!" It's a la-la-la-la-ta feeling that makes you want to say, "I'm back! From now on, when I see a cumulonimbus cloud, I will think "Mitatsu-sama is behind the peak of that cloud! The drawing and design are so amazing that I can't help but think, "There's Mitatsu-sama behind those cloud peaks! This is not something you can watch on your TV at home, but definitely something you should see on a big screen!

Amakasu Hishine, who had been out of the show for about 6 minutes since her shocking statement at the end of last week's episode, was at her parents' house. Her parents seemed very nice, but I believe that when family members appear in an anime, it makes it all the more realistic. I think it makes it seem more realistic when the family is shown in the anime, because you can tell that they grew up in that family atmosphere, and that's why they are the way they are now. Then, after that refreshing declaration of quitting, the rest of the story is told.

I quit because I wanted to say that what was important to me was important. It may have been a simple answer for Hizune, but it was not acceptable to the Kakiho flight team leader. Kakibo, who had been able to endure sarcastic comments from his colleagues without so much as a twitch in his face, lost his temper. It is interesting to note that even Commander Sosoda, who is supposed to be a great leader, could not say anything. I mean, Commander Soda has always been funny, but that could be because Joji Nakata's voice is just too good. The scene after that, he could say, "D-pai took you for a man, too.

Then, Hishine, who quit the Self-Defense Forces after being called a scab by Kakiho, was moved when she saw her own words written without thinking in her graduation album at her parents' house.

In other words, if you are a child, you may just want to say that something "important" is important, but if you are an adult, or even a member of society, how do you take responsibility for something "important"? Shouldn't we think that far and act accordingly? It is a wonderful trend to be reminded of this by my own words that I wrote when I was a high school student. I thought that it is often the case that the things we say without understanding are actually more to the point than the things we say.

And then there was the scene of memories between Yae and Sada, the shrine maiden. The memories of Yae who said she wanted to go to Paris. I thought that this work, including the name "Montparnasse," and the way it was depicted as if it was a secret, would stick in the minds of many people. And just remembering Yae makes me feel an anastomosis. The nature of OTF is really tricky.

Anastomosis, and Hishine's growth. It is a royal development that Hishione gets on Masotan again when various conditions overlap, but it is amazing that it happened in a single episode. As I mentioned earlier, this is probably the reason for the tempo of this work. From Hizune's sliding down on her knees, she talks to herself. Kakibo was still angry at her, but Hishine was cool enough to say what she wanted to say even to Kakibo. I have said in this article that Hishine has "no lies", and this was the scene that moved people's hearts.

According to Hinone's theory, if OTF is the best, he should be able to ride it! And. It means that we don't have to give everything, but apparently it was the right decision and we succeeded in getting back on board. They entered Mitatsu-sama's womb, put her to sleep with the miko's song, and stabilized her by "turning her over" to reverse her body by breaking the shime-nawa (rope) on her tail. At this point, Sada informs Hizune and the others for the first time that a sacrifice is required for the matsurigoto.

What will Hishine do when she finds out this fact? I think a definite connection has been created between Hizune and Natsume, so I am looking forward to seeing what kind of decision she will make.

Now, the ending of episode 11, in which I understood the meaning of the ED being a French song, was unexpectedly karaoke (laugh). It was like, if you can sing it, you can sing it, but I couldn't sing even a single letter. I was impressed that the voice actors who had practiced and could sing this song were really professionals!
