Overview:
While all the classes were consumed in preparation for Shuchiin Academy’s Hoshin Culture Festival, Shirogane and those from Class 2-B were working hard at making balloon art. As Fujiwara delicately puts the finishing touches on a cute balloon bear, the clumsy Shirogane keeps popping them no matter how many times he tries. The sound of balloons popping echoes sadly in the classroom. But Fujiwara, who has joined Shirogane’s special training many times up until now, hardens her heart and decides not to help this time. To overcome this without the help of others, Shirogane heads to the student council room for practice. However, Kaguya is in the room…
Our Take:
I have never related to Iino more, why do we need to include the modern-day lingo? You could argue that it shows a moment in time but please no. Ishigami was fantastic this episode, solving problems but knowing it would make the guys mad trying to impress Tsubame. The only issue I had was that Ishigami’s voice sounded a bit off. I hope Austin Tindle isn’t getting sick too.
Speaking of, Clifford Chapin was back after being sick last week. I am really glad that studios are giving the actors time to rest, I just hope he didn’t come back too soon. It was great to hear him this week though, we are getting into a big arc with Shirogane.
