Oh boy. Lemme level with ya- watching this visualizing Ryllharu's rage at the Kyoya endorsement scenes makes this ten times more entertaining. It shouldn't, but when I know how pitch perfect the show is continually rejecting your ideals, it is amusing, to say the least. Like watching someone get accidentally trolled. I know you don't really care all that much; it's mediocre anime, but I do appreciate the hot takes.

Episode itself:

Having the dirty deets of CEO man on deck was a bit of a stretch for me, but I can hand wave the game engine stuff because I don't care enough about game development to get stuck on those points- the scene did its job and let Kyouya be super awesome, as usual- awesome enough to hurt people at which I know have been trained to laugh in response to.

I also find it meta-funny that Kawasegawa not only affirmed Kyouya's goodness and abstained him from his perpetual guilt trip, but took umbrage with anyone who says otherwise, like the author is aware of the hate-train. I pretty much agreed with most of what she said: Kyouya tried to help and it didn't work out, but I don't see the stunting of fickle artists as reasonable proof of negligence or malicious intent. Live and let live because he didn't knowingly cause the time loop. I'd be hard pressed to change on that line of thinking. He even did help inspire another artist, so going back might undo that? Is there a happy medium in this next time loop (of course there is)?

Keep seething; this show really is an awkward pity party without the backlash.
