Beautiful start

I loved this episode- was rly intrigued as to the origins behind the name system, as well as other niche details. Perfect job on this Perth- well done!!Was really delightful to get to know the different uses of honorifics too, and that there is the potentiality of some being gender-neutral/ age-free (and that phi is not necessarily obligatory-have to ask first though).The only reason I'm rating it a 6 is being, obviously, this is a dramatic work of any sort, so yh it wouldn't fit with my rating system to give it more. Certainly an intriguing language aid though!!!

Pain

A really good episode but so much angst and so much pain. Still the cast came through and gave heartwarming performances. The music is really good and so is the cinematography.

Decent but not great

Not much has happened, but the forced cute moments have started already. Do they look into longer every stranger's eyes for stretched amount of time?

yes the ending was very sweet and fluffy, it would melt a heart of stone, BUT (!!!) i didn't think this ep/conclusion was good/healthy. not where the mains r concerned... ***********************************************************************************the only one that grew was Nana. her coming to the realization that her pushing away Masaki was self preservation and the reasons she likes to spout, r utter nonsense. she has matured enough to acknowledge it is her hang-up, that is stopping her **** ****************************************************************************************************************************************Minato sadly (and as much as i love this character) didn't change/grow. he is the type that will never put himself first and will always go out of his way to help others - even if it's at his expanse. which isn't a plus in this world, cause there more people that will take advantage of this kindness... pity - **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the mains, like mentioned above - didn't like how that was resolved, yes in every 'ship' there is one that loves more. when it was Minato and Tsumugi, he loved more, thus he gave more. now it's Tsumugi who is the giver and considering her "i won't list..." i wanted to punch Sou and backhand her. where would she stop? wouldn't be astounded if she offered to bust her own ear-drums so Sou would accept her. that whole scene was annoying to watch. we not talking teens but adult's - and yet they couldn't just stop and have an adult conversation, after everything they had been through?!? most of Sou's argument was applicable to any adult relationship, just cause both partners r able-bodied doesn't an everlasting 'ship' make - that was his insecurity and selfishness speaking. this doesn't lay the ground for a healthy relationship, so i for one aint elated at this end 🤷‍♀️

DEVELOPMENT!

Its clear that both party realizes that they have some sort of feeling toward one another, and they act on it!Albeit Gunn beat Tinn to the Punch with both Cafe Scene ("Cake" moment and "We-Fie" at the end, Pinkies!)Heart to Heart on the stair is noice, and i like that the conflict with Sound didnt last longer than it need to be

Cuteness Overload!

The Slipped Up in the Pool scene, with no Backpedalling from Tinn. . . Gun's Facial Expression. almost up there with the Rooftop Scene from Bad Buddy EP5The Unintentional Hug after exam scene, The Reveal at End and music at the background!

not new that one ep from the end usually we…

not new that one ep from the end usually we get major drama in most drama's, which get's solved rapidly in the final ep. this time around - heck with this plot it doesn't seems like added drama for the sake of drama, but a logical hurdle. ******************both leads in-spite of being head over heels for each other, have been circling around, walking on eggs shells cause they on uncertain ground (cause of Sou's deafness). ironic that Tsumugi was a spoilt baby, being pandered to by Minato, and now that her sun and moon is back, she is pandering him which is backfiring surprise surprise😒 yeah she's hurting but aint sad for her. ****************************************************************************************************************************************like mentioned from the start, Sou is self-involved, his being around Tsumugi is a painful reminder that he has lost something she still posses. he's blaming her for something that isn't her fault. sadly he will end up alone, cause he doesn't want to be with a deaf person (as he thinks he is different/better, cause he once could hear), and a hearing person will constantly remind him what he's lost - he needs to get over the pity party he is throwing himself. 8 yrs is more then enough to grow and learn - deal with the hand he has been given. know easier said then done, considering he has hidden away living like some recluse. but shouldn't he have learnt something from his past actions?? and the present interactions with his past life?!? frustrating cause he isn't really ready to listen (ironic i know) and a pity. hope Tsumugi finds a way to reach him - cause he totally needs a reality check, like she needs to verbalize how frustrating he's attitude is and her POV and she needs to stop indulging him!****************************************************************************************************************************************Nana reconciling with Masaki was a bright point and it was fun to watch them talking, pity she is incapable of understanding that she has a chance (or had one with) Masaki. but she was the one who thought a hearing person could never fall for me, it must be out of pity (him being around and nice to her), so she was the one to construct boundaries (before he could/would push her away). understandable, everyone tends to be too much in their own heads, judging themselves more harshly then necessary - and we miss out on opportunities cause of it. life i guess - sad reality for most

bitter sweet ep - cried, but also laughed and felt relived after every hurdled got passed. a long time coming, considering Sakura has been avoiding and evading everything and everyone for round 8 yrs including his family. watching him finally facing everyone and communicating his feelings, let alone making peace with them, felt like a burden off my chest (yeah i know - had little to nothing to do with me. but it is what it is) - ********************************************************************************** this felt organic and true to life, not some fanciful depiction of what's in the authors head. that's why can't really get mad at anyone cause everyone deals with problems in different ways, and take their time coming to terms with them - *********************************************************************************************************************************************************yeah i've been critical of Sakura , but that's cause i don't like how he acted even if i got the reason behind his actions. cause as much as he was hurting, he was equally hurting others - which isn't justified (even if understandable). so glad that slowly everything is getting solved. now just the main pair gotta get over the final hurdle - they might have been an item once. now that they r older and in different circumstances, can they overcome their personal worries and try to be together - 2 more ep's to see how this will go ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw glad Nana's letter was mentioned at the end, cause that kept bugging at me throughout this ep, what she wrote and where it would lead. also considering Minato is fascinated by her. will she be paired with him or Masaki. is there even gonna be another pairing in this drama 🤔

before anything - how ironic (is it irony…

before anything - how ironic (is it irony - idk) anyway... found it "funny" that Nana has been tutoring almost everyone in this drama. with Sakura it was motivated out of pity and comradery. with Masaki just a means to communicate and then friendship. and after the blow-up between the two, i kinda get why Masaki comes off so jaded from the start of this. ************************this time around Nana wasn't justified in lashing out - yeah i get she was hurt, cause she thought Masaki teaching others what she taught him, was him sharing something that was theirs alone, and only them being able to communicate through sign made it special/precious. thus making their relationship unimportant or insignificant in his eyes, when he chose to use that mode of communication with strangers. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but what she said was b.s. - people wanting to learn sign language isn't hypocrisy - each has their own reasons. if what she said was true, then any person without disabilities wanting to help and accommodate people with, is a fake - which is far from the truth. *********************************************************************************************************************************i get, getting defensive and not trying to understand the true motivations behind someone actions, when u r hurting - which is very human. but sadly cause of her melt down (her inability to face why she was deeply hurt), Masaki been walking around like a injured soul for how long now?!? this sad. ****************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************Tsumugi's conversation with her mother and after that with Sakura, was truly heart warming and bittersweet.

So heartwarming and moving

This episode is one of the best demonstrations of the friendship and camaraderie of the class! It portrays beautifully and poetically the perspectives, emotions, and energy of youth through the characters' actions in the story.
