Winter 2020 Anime: Official Info, Airdates & Trailers
Keep warm this winter season with the latest anime info at MANGA.TOKYO!
This is what I am talking about. I loved Episode 8 of A Sister’s All You Need. We finally got the romance that we were waiting for! Damn those feels, my poor kokoro was in pain during the whole amusement park scene.
Japanese Original Episode Title: 恋と友情さえあればいい。
Haruto asks Itsuki for help since he is into Miyako and wants his buddy to help him out. Miyako’s birthday is coming soon and Nayu is preparing a surprise party for her with all the usual suspects. They actually do make the surprise party happen and there was an intense yuri moment between Nayu and Miyako, and of course, Haruto missed his chance to do something in order to approach Miyako. Nayu’s gift for Miyako was a novel that she wrote for her and in which he made her the main protagonist, something between a fantasy and a dirty lewd storyline, which made Miyako realize her author skills and talents. Then Itsuki and the guys decide to go to an amusement park because Itsuki needs to do a research for his novel and because he wants to help Haruto win over Miyako. They go, they have fun, it looks like a double date, and everything is going smoothly but Haruto realized that Miyako has feelings for Itsuki and decided to get the situation in his hands.
Nayu’s wise words: ‘The reason I love you isn’t because you are a slutty mature woman’. And I loved how Miyako’s reaction to this monologue was: ‘Oh Nayu, you are such a good girl, I love you.’
The ending of Nayu’s novel: I had no doubt that the novel she wrote for Miyako was going to be dirty as hell, but damn the orgasm scene with the ‘UNIVERSE’ made me laugh so much. She is truly talented.
Haruto is a really good guy: In the last scene where he said: ‘That would be too cruel.’ Man… THE FEELS! Haruto and Miyako deserve each other. They could make a good couple.
Skull & Roses: The board game they were playing during Miyako’s birthday party was Skull & Roses. It is the bluffing game in which everything is played in the players’ heads. Each player plays a face-down card, then each player in turn adds one more card – until someone feels safe enough to state that he can turn a number of cards face up and get only roses. Other players can then overbid him, saying they can turn even more cards face up. The highest bidder must then turn that number of cards face up, starting with his own. If he shows only roses, he wins; if he reveals a skull, he loses, placing one of his cards out of play. Two successful challenges win the game.
Golden Week: Golden Week is a week from the 29 April to early May that contains a number of Japanese holidays. Golden Week is the longest vacation period of the year for many Japanese workers. The week includes the following holidays:
April 29: The Emperor’s Birthday, Greenery Day, Shōwa Day
May 3: Constitution Memorial Day
May 4: Citizen’s Holiday
May 5: Children’s Day
More references: When Nayu is talking with Itsuki at his place you can see behind her a poster. That is the OreGairu Volume 4 cover. The more you know!
This show has so many shameless promos in it, it’s crazy. Itsuki is clearly using the LINE messaging app, SEGA is all over the amusement park, and in every episode you have the board games and the various alcoholic drinks. Back in the old days they didn’t even bother with these kind of things, they would use McBonalds instead of McDonalds and not give a damn about anything. Anyways.
The eyes in the reaction scene of Haruto and Miyako were absolutely amazing. You could really see everything that they were feeling portrayed in their eyes. I was impressed and deeply hurt about the whole love story. But I am not going to complain, I asked for this and I am very pleased overall with the way the plot is going.
Something is telling me that the next episode is going to be super dirty. I mean you can already tell by the title, but in the ending scene the young Lolita illustrator is back and oh boy, she will definitely make Itsuki’s novel as lewd as hell. Looking forward to see the relationships develop more! Cheers!
