Astra ep 3. The plot thickens.
I liked Kanata feeling the burden of being in charge and taking responsibility for some of his team’s failures. Even with him spouting cheesy motivational one-liners, he’s already a sympathetic leader.
The way this ep built up the tension and then diffused it with a joke was pretty good. I also appreciate that the “we only have 10 minutes to do this thing” scene actually only took about 5 minutes. I’m still rolling my eyes at some of the character writing, but the drama and tense moments have been pretty good, so I’m going to give it the benefit of the doubt that it’ll make those character arcs work.
Dumbbell ep 3. Informative, as always.
I liked Hibiki basically giving up on her plans before even getting started. I don’t appreciate the harem angle as much. I understand that one of the themes here is that self-motivation is difficult, I just don’t get why they all need to fall for Machio. If one of the goals of this show is to make fitness feel more accessible, then it would be better if the character motivations were more varied.
