Long start, but this like Berserk's Golden Age ark, essentially. Perhaps not as diverse and vivid, but serves the same purpose. Time skips seemed to have some inconsistencies and generally people easily accepting babies talking at the agr of 1 feels off, but I have no experience with babies, except myself, who allegedly did not speak till like 3.
Either way, interesting to see how they will continue. I can see several ways for it to fail, but hoping it won't.
Episode 2:
Firstly, I really like how Miyako (the current director of IchigoPro) grew. Remember how she initially wanted nothing but a handsome idol man or something? Her growth was noticeable in the 1st episode, but now it is even more so.
Secondly, I find it it a bit off how Miyako and Aqua essentially changed their minds. Aqua did not want Ruby to be an idol, Miyako did not want to work with idols, and then after a talk with 1 underground idol they changed their minds with almost no resistance or reluctance. I think they should have worked on this a bit more.
Also the music: OP was starting interesting, but then the chorus came and became nothing special at all and fall flat.I noticed this trend a long time ago, that quite often Japanese music can start with a drive, be complex, but then suddenly become this sugary bullshit. The ED is much better, but that's Queen Bee for you.
Episode 3:
And how the hell does he know that at least one of those cigarette butts is the one he needs?
Also, would it not make hunting easier if he just leaked information that he might be Ai's son?
Episode 4:
I really get Kana's frustration in this episode, while they were filming. And I guess during last episode, too, but it caught my attention this time.
I am a tech supporter by trade and I always try to provide the best experience I can and strive to solve the issue not just in the moment, but also in a way, that prevent the issue from happening again. Adjust a knowledgebase article, communicate with devs to adjust a tooltip in an app or perhaps with project/product managers to enhance or complete redesign a feature.
Unfortunately, I get extremely few cases of good support myself. Templated answers, responses that imply, that an agent did not even read my message(s), or did that thoughtlessly, or implying that they are simply incompetent. Inability to provide proper timelines, where it should be possible (I do understand that it's not always the case), ghosting... I've experience it all.
To me as a professional, those poor experiences are just... Unacceptable. And yes, often things are like this because the companies do not care for proper tech support personnel and just hire cheap people (which made the memes of Indian support) or try to use chatbots to save money. But... Even if you are do not have experience in the matter or do not want to go "above and beyond", it is still a personal choice not to do your work properly, and in a way, that you as a customer would appreciate. I mean, empathy is one the main skills for any support personnel, technical or not.
Episode 5:
Can they really use the same name, though?
Episode 6:
I would have ended the episode a few seconds earlier. Definitely the darkest so far (besides 1st one, maybe). Or maybe that's because being suicidal is relatable to me. Either way like the contrast of mostly bright and vivid picture with dark plain thoughts: have experienced that myself and it can be trippy
Episode 7:
Ground under Aqua's feet is cracking, at least
