I didn’t think I’d like Melt this much. He made an incredible redemption
@Vegeto6445 ай бұрын
I was falling asleep to the season honestly, and then that boy does this, genuinely I felt as if I was in the public, it was incredibly done, what they wanted to do with him absolutely worked, my boy Melt is now top 1 character in my heart of that anime because not only is he relatable but it was just so emotional I can't even describe this
@w1nther9305 ай бұрын
Melt's struggle is honestly so relatable. Okay, maybe not the popularity shit, but the thing about him thinking he could just wing it. You can really tell that he genuinely feels guilty over ruining that tv show and also making others have to go down to his level. That's why his moment is so impactful, as Aqua said, we don't have too high hopes for him
@rai3575 ай бұрын
The fact that an episode focusing on such a minor character can produce this much of an emotional hit just shows how good Akasaka-sensei and Doga Kobo are at what they do. Best episode so far this season.
@SantonioH105 ай бұрын
Aka Akasaka really has an unparalleled ability to take a character you initially dislike or are ambivalent about and do a complete 180 with them in just a few minutes of storytelling. It worked in Kaguya-sama and is twice as effective in this story where people in the entertainment industry have far more depth than what the audience sees at a surface level. Incredible stuff

@@Z0D1ACC People didn't always like him. People were okay with him. Some liked his angsty teen gamer shtick but people didn't become head over heels with him until the sports festival arc. It's kind of hard not to like a flawed character when you are shown exactly when he became so flawed and given ample justification as to why. Maki is another clean example but mostly manga only. Season 3 got the ball rolling but I would think its hard for anime onlys to see past tsundere senpai's... well tsun when they don't know what else she does. She had a similar start to Ishigami in the anime. Girl says some wild things (that she doesn't really mean like Ishigami as much as he thinks he means it), is the source of comedic relief for the audience and not much else (yet).

3:05 actually it was said that Touki (Aqua's character) and Tsurugi (Kana's character) was the popular ship in the fandom, which reduced the screentime of Princess Saya (Akane's character).

as a manga reader (dw, i won't spoil), i was really looking forward to this. melt and his moment here are underrated, but i think the anime elevating this scene will help it stay in people's minds for longer! i also appreciate that you understand aqua. he strikes me as an unreliable narrator due to his trauma among other things... it can be easy to gloss over the examples of him being a genuinely kind person because HE doesn't see or present himself as kind. that doesn't mean he's the bad person he thinks he is, though, just that he has a warped sense of self.

i sobbed for approximately 15 minutes after this episode. 🧍🧍🧍🧍 while looking at fan content for this anime a year ago, i accidentally found out that this melt guy wasnt just a shitty background character and that he has his own arc and character development. i got curious so i read the chapter this episode adapted and he's been one of my favorite characters ever since, even if that was the only oshi no ko manga chapter ive ever read ive been waiting about a year for my boy to finally have his moment animated and its finally here and they did him so well i cant believe how good they did him i cant stress enough how incredible and beautiful and how much i love this episode ive legit never cried out of happiness before i never expected that this anime would bring this emotion out of me even when i knew my own excitement towards this episode but im STILL bawling my eyes out ive only found my passion for acting a few months ago, and i forgot a lot about this chapter of the manga because i refused to look back at it so i can relive it all through the anime. melts character and his story both before entering the showbiz and after and his passion and hardworking nature just spoke out to me so much it rlly does feel like i see myself in him that just added more to my crying 💔💔 narushima melt ily im your biggest fan 🔥🔥‼️‼️😭😭 THANK YOU AKA AKASAKA FOR CREATING HIM 🙏🙏 (if yall see this comment on other reactors' videos then shhhhhh i just wanna share my love for this character LMFOAOAO 🙌🙌)

Aka Akasaka has cemented himself as my favorite mangaka. He does side characters right here and in kaguya sama you're just waiting for everyone to get their time to shine and everyone ends up being your favorite character at some point in some way. If you think someone's a throw away character you just haven't seen enough of them yet.
