My Girlfriend's Friend

Good 👍

I keep waiting for Takeru to say one single word in his own defense and he never does. The sparkler contest was so obvious a setup it hurt. Dude has no spine whatsoever

The chibi survival segment going on for like four straight minutes after that bath scene felt like whiplash. Whoever decided the tone could swing that hard needs to be talked to

Kaori laughing off the door being ajar and then going to bathe with the girl who just took her boyfriend is a level of oblivious I did not think was possible. My stomach dropped when Tomoko asked her to pretend she saw nothing and she just said nothing back

Takeru saying he wants Kaori to chase her dreams while he is actively sneaking off with Tomoko the same night is comically hollow. The rain scene afterward almost got me though. Almost.

That bamboo cutter parody was the only reason to breathe this episode. The narrator doing the Emperor bits killed me. Everything else was just spicy buildup to an infamous scene

That breakfast bit at the start felt like watching a slasher movie. Every footstep I was waiting for Kaori to walk in. Tomoko just humming in the kitchen like she owns the place. Nah that was too much tension for a cooking scene

Kaori asleep talking about cooking for him while he's about to sneak out is genuinely brutal. This show uses her sweetness like a weapon. Not fun to sit through and I mean that as praise

I couldn't enjoy the beach stuff at all because Tomoko rubbing oil on Miyuki was just her showing off. Everything she does is aimed at Takeru even when she's not touching him

Wow

S dls

I came for beach fan service and got psychological warfare instead. Tomoko inviting herself onto their trip right in front of Kaori made me actually mad. Then Miyuki tags along just to babysit her. Whole thing felt like a hostage situation in swimsuits

Tomoko saying "we're cheating" like it's a team effort is the coldest thing this show has done. The word we does all the work. He can't walk it back now and she knows it

You can call this trashy all you want but the bath conversation where Tomoko admits she came between them and then asks Kaori to just pretend nothing happened is genuinely nasty writing in the best way. Nobody in this show is clean and that is the point

The word we is doing so much damage in that staircase scene. Tomoko says we're cheating and suddenly Takeru has no exit. He's not a victim after this one he's just a guy who keeps choosing the easy lie

The girls on to anime show rare on their bottom is baby diaper They've got some pink testicles where on their bottoms.
