English Dub Review: Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night “31 (Thirty-One)”
Overview
JELEE receives a commission request from an idol who dreams of becoming famous, but her secrets mean the situation is more complicated than the group ever imagined…
Our Take
In just one episode, a seemingly minor character from the first episode named “Miiko” received remarkable development, with her story evolving in unexpected and emotional ways. What started as a brief introduction turned into a meaningful exploration of this particular character’s life, highlighting the complexity of her personality and her relationships with others. Her journey, full of growth and emotion, and almost steals the show since the Team JELEE played a role in the episode’s proceedings.
The character’s transformation is handled with care, as her flaws and strengths are revealed gradually. The episode does a great job of balancing humor with heartfelt moments, allowing us to understand her motivations and the challenges she faces. Her resilience and love for those around her bring depth to the story, making her journey compelling.
Overall, this episode takes a character that could have easily been overlooked and gives her a significant role in the narrative. The emotional depth and the themes of ambition and authenticity make it an engaging watch as it explores themes of parenthood, ambition, and authenticity in a concise, heartfelt way. It was so good, that I even watched the episode twice for how wholesome it is, but maybe because it hits differently when you reach that level in your life. I wonder how they’re gonna top this next episode?
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
