Episode 9 Review (Welcome to a Summer Day!) Review Episode 9 (Welcome to a Summer Day!) Review
Yes, the one ending that was just
nice. If I was writing this script I’d also just be like "eh… they can have one
good moment.” Anyway, it’s a pretty fill in the blank episode. But the most important
thing is what happens at the end, and what we learn about Yamazaki. First at
the beginning of the episode he gets turn down an offer for a friend zone date,
and he basically goes crazy pretending to be a strange robotic crime fighter.
Then we learn at a young age his friend zone crush turned down his offer to go
on a date to the fireworks before he shortly moved. And then he went to the
fireworks and saw her with another boy, and fled, using the mask of the—I’m
just going to call it a robotic crime fighter—and then never saw her again. So
he denounces his faith in women, and says how they’re only human, and romantic
marriage is a culture adapted from over seas. And then he got a phone call from
the girl saying her appointment got canceled and invited him. And possibly the
best scene in the show was followed with Yamazaki ever-so-coolly leaving, right
after his epic "Be Gone Dirty Whores” speech. Anyway, after that, Sato gets an
invite from Misaki. And then it’s a simple good ending of them watching fireworks,
and of course, Sato and Misaki holding hands… that dog! Anyway, this episode
was getting really slow for awhile. It was kind of nonsense with the game and
counseling, but luckily it wrapped itself around with a very nice ending. And
yeah, it had a pretty good self contained social commentary on relationships,
and how socially awkward guys look at women, and then quickly turn around. Not
nearly to that extreme, but definitely there. And if you’re an angry nerd who
hates women ‘cause you can’t get any, just wait by a phone and see how happy
you’ll be if you get a call. And if not, the dirty whores can be gone, right?
Overall, very good episode.
