Maybe in this case it’s different because it’s affecting two people doesn’t necessarily involve him and Sakuta feels that it’s something the siblings will have to resolve on their own? I guess we’ll find out in the next episode. And yet in Nodoka’s arc, the sisters seem almost resigned to living in each other’s bodies, and Sakuta only gets a few snippets of dialogue that imply he’s trying to find out a solution.
ZANKYOU NO TERROR EPISODE 1 GOGOANIME HOW TO
It also feels kind of weird to me that no one seems to be actively trying to find a solution to this problem? In all the previous arcs, Sakuta seemed to always constantly be thinking about how to revert things back to normal. We get a lot of montages of Mai and Nodoka (in each other’s bodies of course) going through the day and following the other person’s schedule, which threw off the pacing of the episode a bit. Maybe the solution to Nodoka’s situation is becoming more of her own person and letting go of the inferiority complex she has?Īnother reason why I felt that this episode was a little weaker than past episodes is that it felt so aimless at times. It is really hard NOT to compare Nodoka and Mai because Nodoka is IN Mai’s body currently. Which is actually really sad considering her main dilemma: Nodoka’s puberty syndrome activated because she was frustrated at constantly being compared to and surpassed by her older sister. One of the reasons why I felt this episode was a little weak is because I don’t care much about Nodoka, because doesn’t have much of a personality at the moment. That’s incredibly petty and incredibly messed up. While it was established that Mai’s mother was pretty asshole-ish from the start, to learn that Mai’s mom was forcing her daughter into showbiz to ALSO get back at her ex-husband and his new wife is just. And apparently, Mai’s and Nodoka’s moms are in some kind of weird feud, where they are both pitting their daughters in the “fight” for stardom. Yes, Nodoka is the focal character this time, but she’s so close to Mai that we learn a whole lot more about what exactly is going on with Mai’s family and past. But at the same time it gave us a lot of insight into a previously established character.Įven though this is supposed to be Nodoka’s arc, it felt more like an extension of Mai’s arc/character than anything. The first episodes for a new girl’s arc are always kind of “meh” in this series, and this one was definitely one of the weaker episodes.
…So of course, guess what Sakuta does at the end of the episode. She asks Sakuta to go check in on Nodoka to see if everything is okay–but warns him never to open the Japanese-styled cabinets in her apartment. Although Mai has appeared mostly apathetic about the entire situation, it’s clear that Mai still worries about her younger sister. The two are able to pass off as the other person well enough, however… At one of Mai’s commercial shoots, Nodoka nearly passes out after panicking. Not long after this, Mai and Nodoka engage in a bit of a sibling confrontation after which Mai (in Nodoka’s body) moves in with Sakuta temporarily so that Nodoka (in Mai’s body) can live in Mai’s apartment alone. A lot of sunset imagery is being associated with Nodoka, huh… Nice to see Rio with her hair tied up–showing that her character development stuck. Mai takes the body switch surprisingly well, and plainly states that she and Nodoka will have to just try living each other’s lives as normally as possible. Nodoka is revealed to actually be Mai’s younger half-sister (same father, different mothers). This anime is witty enough without my dumb comments.Īt the start of the second school term, Sakuta finds out that Mai and a young idol girl named Nodoka have switched bodies due to Puberty Syndrome.
