Review
When the person is alone, and needs someone to chat with, call it a date! Review time!

Basically, what could be a person doing when he has no other things to do besides sleeping or playing games? Of course, they would find ways in order to reduce their boredom! Going out for a strolling date can be an option. But make sure to supply yourself with enough funds because you need them for eating on a restaurant, and so on.

Kana did change dynamically her character here — from being a tough and spiteful girl into a shy-like character (Usually, idols are having this familiar character). Especially, when she is already talking with Aqua. And then, this is where she has finally did her strolling date with Aqua because of just one item — the suitcase!

And then, Kana really expected too much of her wild fantasies. And she ended up with nothing after their strolling date. Just remember that don’t expect too much from everything, or you will just disappoint yourself!

And then, it’s about time when Aqua has finally spoken the truth about Akane his purpose why he was in the acting industry. When Aqua lost a person of interest in his revenge, it is heartbreaking that Aqua finally breaks ties with Akane. And Aqua finally gets on what he called as “freedom”. But will that freedom of his be a period, or just a question mark? Otherwise, it will just be Aqua’s another revenge Episode.

And then, when everything’s got bit serious this time, they added a cut-in comedy somewhere.

Could it be one of Aqua’s traces to his broken revenge? Ruby is just unaware.

All I can say that this Episode can be good to best. It is because of the “shipping” stuff that most people are talking about (Kana-Aqua, Akane-Aqua). But when I am talking about the story of this Episode, it’s just average, as usual. But at least, this one is maximized. Who knows that we are about to enter an another arc, which is basically Ruby’s turn, as usual?

My thoughts in this Episode? Average to good. (Good when Akane finally gave Aqua a final hug from behind)

My Rating: AVERAGE (3.7/5)

Review Rating Summary and Breakdown

Story: (3/5) – The story started when Aqua is trying to look for a suitcase, only to end up with a strolling date with Kana. After all, he finally got a suitcase, so yeah. Story can be half-happy and half-sad.
Animation: (4/5) – I like the drawing animations that was shown at the end of the Episode, where Akane tries to unravel Aqua’s loophole in his intentions for revenge.
Insights: (4/5) – Sometimes, we gotta tell straight the truth on what our intentions are. Rather than telling it, but too unsure — Sometimes, our YES can be a NO, and so on.
