I totally understand Tomo, but maybe there's a better way to encourage someone to practice hard?

About the air conditioner... well... living in France, we don't have it, so I only know to deal with the heat and it start to get hot here. We approach 33° Celsius, wich mean 91,4° Fahrenheit, and summer haven't started yet lol. As for the perfectionism, I'm not a musician, but I draw, I'm an artist, I know I suck in many ways and am already hard on myself to the point of suffering from impostor syndrom from time to time, so in a way, I feel both Tomo and Nina in this episode.

I’ve heard that it gets HOT there and no air conditioning would kill me. I think I would have to try and visit that area in the winter. 😅

Also…I get it. We all have things we need to work on in our crafts and being a perfectionist WITH imposter syndrome is killer. I love to draw! Maybe I should share my drawings with you sometime. Although…it takes me AGES to finish something since I don’t do it often and I tend to start over…a lot.

I was stressed! Lol. My teacher brain wanted to wrap those words in more kindness! But I love her bluntness!

Living in the UK we also don't have air con in most homes (you'll get it in larger supermarkets and some offices, but it's not particularly a given anywhere else) and houses/flats are typically brick builds designed with insulation in mind so they retain heat. This week in particular has been hotter than usual, with highs of 30° Celsius or 86° Fahrenheit; but basically once you get up into the mid-20s we really start to struggle. My car has air con, which is a godsend, but my fiance's doesn't so I try to avoid driving hers in this kind of weather. Also in Japan it's not just the heat, but often also the humidity involved. If we're looking at the extended two week forecast in Tokyo right now, you're looking at a low-high temp range of 22-34° Celsius everyday, with humidity between 47-90%. With Tomo you have to factor in that although she's very serious about music and probably the most musically proficient/compositionally mature member in terms of technique and training, she's also the youngest and grew up as an only child with parents she couldn't depend on (hence moving in with Rupa who also acted as guarantor as an adult). She is utterly committed to making it professionally and has felt betrayed previously when other musicians haven't shown the same level of commitment despite promising otherwise. Rupa is basically the only person before now who hasn't let her down to some degree and so she has a really difficult time trusting people. In terms of the fictional ages of the band members within the timeline of the show itself for context: -Momoka is 20 -Nina is 17 (her VA Rina was even younger when she was first cast at just 15) -Subaru is also 17 -Rupa is 22 -Tomo is the youngest at 16

I wish I had your thoughts and analysis for anime. Your understanding of every episode is (to me) flawless. And your explanation is fluid and easy for me to grasp. Like…honestly, I would love to have you sitting with me explaining EVERYTHING every step of the way. 😅

I've also watched each episode multiple times, own physical copies of all the music (including the music scores per earlier DM) and gone down the rabbithole researching bits I didn't quite fully understand; so that puts me at somewhat of an unfair advantage compared to yourself. I'm not neuro-divergent, but I am a mildly socially awkward musician and this show & the associated Togenashi Togeari band project IRL is one of my more recent obsessions, hence learning so much about it.

Waiting for that snake to eat gave me flashbacks to high school when I watched a python for a friend. I would place the live mouse in with the snake for 20 minutes each day, like he said, but the snake never ate the mouse and died. I felt horrible. Wandervogel is German, it means wandering bird, but it is also the name of back-to-nature youth hiking clubs that spread from Germany to Japan in the 1930s.

I had the same reaction as you when Tomo said "You're never be good enough". I feel like a big issue with Tomo's criticism has been that she can't give it constructively. She says something sucks or not good enough, but gives no direction on how the other person can improve, so her criticism only feels like a put down. You can tell something in Nina has changed since the end of the last episode. She's a lot calmer now. 28:20 Now that you mention it, it is a piano instrumental of the main theme, playing in a episode focused on the keyboard player. That's pretty poetic.
