First thoughts after watching I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class Episode 4
This note includes a spoiler.
I watched I Made Friends with the First Second Prettiest Girl in My Class episode 4. 7/10.
- Story and characters: 4/5
- Animation: 3/5
- BGM: 3/5
The earlier part of this episode was that Amami asked a question which is hard to say publicly to other classmates, and then Asanagi pretended to have won in a drawing for the member of a school festival committee. The later part was its preparation and the festival itself.
The festival was pretty short in the anime, and rather, the story focused on the relationship between Amami and Asanagi. Amami at last found out Asanagi became friends with Maehara, but she didn't say why before the festival, and then at the end of this episode, after the festival, she finally made up her mind to talk to her.
From the story's point of view, it was 4/5. Well, finally, it was good plot that the story wasn't from the main heroine who can do anything like Amami. I felt a little of how Asanagi felt to Amami, but because Amami can do anything even what Asanagi wanted, and Asanagi didn't say anything bad to Amami, her inferiority complex toward Amami got bigger. There was a character having some inferiority complex for sure, but maybe for her, that's almost everything due to Amami. Because of that, she was kinda attractive character as she is more complicated and not too fictional character. Also, she didn't want to have a bad relationship with Amami because she still thinks Amami is the best friend, or at least that's what I felt. When Asanagi and Maehara talked about themselves and he didn't ask what happened to them, that was kinda unexpected. But it shows his character well as he didn't have a good friendship relationship and wanted to protect one's personal issue to themselves unless they want to. The festival itself was surprisingly quick and I didn't expect that much, but it was just for an art exhibition so it kinda makes sense.
In terms of animation and BGMs, I didn't feel anything so they were 3/5. The mosaic art of empty cans was unexpectedly big and really good, though. It was as high as 2 or 3 floors of the school building, with a complicated character design.
