English Dub Review: With You, Our Love Will Make It Through “Episode 2”
Overview:
Mari and Tsunagu test the boundaries of their relationship.
Our Take:
It’s nice that there’s another person who doesn’t think a beast-person is a bad thing. Yukihiro is a guy in Mari and Tsunagu’s class. Not only does he help them get out of the storage room they’re trapped in, but he sticks up for Tsunagu when people try to throw out his textbooks. Yukihiro is set up like a piece of an eventual love triangle. The reason I say it seems refreshing is the fact that he seems not to be interested in Mari in that way. She already confessed to Yukihiro that she thinks her heart has been stolen by Tsunagu.
What I think would be a cool development is if, while hanging out with Tsunagu and Mari, Yukihiro meets a girl beast-person and gets feelings for that person. I don’t necessarily see that happening, but I want to avoid a love triangle. I don’t think we need to be worried because Yukihiro even facilitated time alone for Tsunagu and Mari. All of this to say that I think Yukihiro is one of the best wingmen I’ve seen in a while, and for a show about a girl and a beast-person falling in love, it’s surprisingly relatable.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
