乙女怪獣キャラメリゼ

Agree completely. Not only did the scene last episode give a "I recognize those eyes" vibe, but the staring here was oddly playful for coming off a monster attack. Claiming the "it's beautiful" was referring to the blossoms felt like fairly transparent deflection, particularly with the flashback to the kaiju eyes. Though, it's a common enough trope in anime to randomly say "beautiful" out of nowhere to a girl that I wouldn't call that definitive. He's definitely maintained plausible deniability.

Just finished the episode and as much as I hate to say it. I don't think he's actually figured it out. It's an unfortunately insanely common trope in anime. The internal monologue pretty much seals it too. It looks like the premise is more of this whole back and forth with her trying to avoid him knowing and him doing the most insane mental gymnastics to not figure it out with varying obstacles getting in the way instead of him figuring it out and trying to help her accept herself while avoiding others type of thing.

That's the thing, neither of that work narratively particularly well. Ideally, he would have had his suspicions after the first two episodes and this episode would have confirmed it with him realizing he was right. Then spend half an episode or a whole episode even with him trying to figure out how to talk to her about it before he actually does. Afterwards it could be spent with him and her working together to figure out exactly how her transformations work and the exact trigger for them while dealing with varying outside forces getting involved all while navigating their own budding relationship and her own insecurities. Instead, it looks like we'll be getting mostly him just being completely oblivious and her just constantly trying to hide who she really is the entire season all to keep up with the "comedy" of it all.

I feel bad for him, but I also feel like he pushed a bit too hard to be physically close to someone who's not comfortable with that. Especially the seatbelt thing was a dumb mistake. Ofcourse he's still just a teenager so I don't blame him for making that mistake and not realizing that Kuroe wasn't necessarily uncomfortable with him, just with being physically close. But it's a good lesson that some people need their space more than others, and it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't like you. Especially when you don't know what someone has gone through in their past or what issues they may be currently dealing with

He's clearly a purebred golden retriever. These breeds run off a single brain cell and have a constant need for affection. They mean well, but they're high maintenance. Otherwise, classic push/pull relationship dynamics. Minami pushed too much, before Kuro was ready for that, so she kept pulling back. Not because she doesn't want to be with him, just that he's moving at a speed she can't process comfortably.

i love that scene where Kuroe was like "do you think Michey will ride with us?" like last ride where it was between the two of them you can see it in his eyes that he's reading the situation and guessing that Kuroe doesn't want to ride next to him, but he's swallowing that realization to keep upbeat and then he redirects to the merch where he gets shot down again it's pretty effective how you can read his train of thought without hearing his inner monologue spell it out for us

Akaishi might be the first person I've seen take a random trash bag and make it look like stylish clothing. I like how you could see the silhouette of her body under the trash bag. And also she could "poof" it out for cover. 1st official date completed and...somehow successful?! The Kaiju cosplay was a hit with the visitors and Minami. Though I will say Minami might know more than he is letting on with his actions and words towards Akaishi. He doesn't really strike me as the dense type so I feel like he's either 50% playing along or 50% just too into her to see her as a Kaiju. I did like how one of the visitors at the amusement park got a picture of her as "Johnny."

Could be a case where she'll gain more control over it with time. First full transformation basically left her in a daze until the next day. This time she was coherent even while transformed and recovered mentally much faster. The issue might be that she's simply got little resistance to things like this or control over herself because she's had to completely isolate herself. At least I hope so. Girl deserves a fulfilling love life.

Red Dress Kuroe Kuroe really needs to make some contingency plans in case she transforms again. We can't have her running around naked and using trashbags to dress herself. This is now the second time she has returned to that spot by the river. Maybe she should hide a bag there somewhere? Manatsu chasing after Harugon on the water with her butler dressed up as Ultraman Geist is hilarious! Seems that I'm gonna have to pay attention to the butler outfits from now on to see what other Ultraman they'll reference in the future. 😆 Of course, Manatsu has a King Ghidorah outfit. I guess Kuroe's head is supposed to be the third head? And it's good to know she has actual cyte outfits to lend Kuroe too. I love how they've only recently met and Manatsu is going all in on being Kuroe's wingwoman. Arata was actually pretty awesome during the date , so I really felt bad for him when Kuroe was doing everything she could to avoid close contact with him. I kinda wish Kuroe would just make up an excuse. The dude was really dejected after that incident at the log flume ride. Just when you thought this was finally it , Arata ends up thinking that Kuroe was just in cosplay. He definitely knows, right? I feel like he might be playing dumb just for Kuroe's sake. I'm just glad that they finally got to have a proper date in the end.

She needs to start wearing purple pants that will stretch alongside her Kaiju form and will still be there when she reverts back! Though thank goodness she didn't ruin her date outfit, it really was perfect for her. It's funny to think that her butlers are Ultraman meaning that she basically has Ultraman waiting on her hand and foot to service her love of Kaiju. In her eyes Kaiju are the dominant ones! I love how the Ghidorah heads emoted alongside her. Also I guess it was kind of foreshadowing that cosplay would end up saving the day during the date.

Manatsu dressing up Kuroe in the King Ghidorah costume lol. Love Mickey Mom following Kuroe around. Yeah it's a cosplay, like where did she magically get this costume from halfway through the date. She should show Manatsu her cosplay though, she'd love it. Minami doesn't know, but yet he's somehow passed every speech check. Bro has got to be pretending. I thought the guy in the end might be Kuroe's Papa, but the guy in the photo had blond hair.
