English Dub Review: With You and the Rain “The Same Moon”

Overview

Fuji meets manga artist Tokaku Arata in a video meeting. You and Fuji meet Medaka and Noriko on their walk.

Our Take

This episode embraced the autumn theme beautifully, wrapping the story in a warm and cozy atmosphere that fits the series’ gentle pace. Between the shedding season gags, new character introductions, and the ongoing debate over whether our furry friend is a dog, a raccoon, or truly a tanuki, the humor remained light while still adding to the show’s charm. Watching how quickly people become enamored with him, whether classmates, strangers, or even professionals, adds to the ongoing joke that his appeal is simply irresistible.

Fuji’s life also took another small but meaningful step forward. Her new collaboration with a manga artist provided fun behind-the-scenes insights into how stories come together when one person writes while another illustrates. The dynamic between them feels fresh and playful, especially with the artist being so taken with our little “dog” that she can’t keep her composure. Meanwhile, new admirers, quirky personalities, and even a girl who wishes to become a cat continue to expand the cast in amusing ways, giving each episode a breezy unpredictability while never straying from its relaxed tone.

Overall, this was another soothing chapter in a series that thrives on simple joys and subtle comedy. The funny post-credits scene perfectly capped off the lighthearted atmosphere while keeping the humor grounded in everyday silliness. The show continues to feel like a breath of fresh air each week. It’s not about big drama or tension but about the little moments that make life brighter when shared with friends, whether human, tanuki, or something in between.
