It’s wild how a single train ride can feel like the cultural festival episode but with way more impact. Watching Mitsumi choose to prioritize her friendship over all those academic goals reminded me of the first time an anime dared to show friendships as evolving, not just background noise for romance. Meanwhile, Shima totally failing his soccer shot during the club fair cracked me up, almost like the universe needs someone to slip up during life’s big events. If this keeps up, maybe more shows will start treating ambition and friendship as two sides of the same coin instead of rivals. What if Skip and Loafer is laying groundwork for a new genre? Can’t wait to see if this is just the start of a heartfelt relay race. What did you all think, and where do you want the story to go next?
