Overview:
At Kanade’s suggestion, the first “Ikeda Lab Science-type Girls’ Night Out” is held at a family restaurant, but Himuro and Ibarada, who are both uncomfortable around people, start talking about their experiences of being all alone. Kanade attempts to liven up the mood with some girl talk about romance, asking Himuro what she likes about Yukimura, but Himuro then pulls out some documents and begins to analyze them in a matter-of-fact manner. Later, Kosuke attends a concert and waves his penlight furiously for Aika’s voice actress, Hinamori Ren. When he looks behind him, he sees Ibarada and Himuro!
Our Take:
Love is in the air for everyone it seems. This is kind of nice because while I do love Himuro and Yukimura, I feel like their romance is already a forgone conclusion. I still want to see more of it but I don’t think we will be getting what I want exactly from them so I have pinned my hopes on others. Mainly, Ibarada and Kosuke. I kind of love it when two characters are clearly made for each other but fail to see it themselves. Though to be fair I think they are slowly starting to realize it. Even Kanade got asked out! But that was how the episode ended so we will have to wait till next week to see her answer.
One thing this anime does really well is that it uses real physics and scientific reasoning. I thought a lot of it was just made up but they really do use real science as we learned while watching Yukimura be the most hilarious tutor ever. Hearing him say “I’m here to rectify your stupidity” was one of the most comical things I have heard in this show.
Speaking of hearing, I am pretty sure Avrielle Corti is still voicing Himuro. Last week her character was sick so I imagine she was just making her voice fit to suit the character which honestly… respect.
