BokuTomo 07 - Can You Hear Me Now?/Good (Then Who Was Phone?)
The cell phone, such a ubiquitous thing in Japanese culture, anime culture, American culture. Culture, really. It's the instigator of time-changing messages, creator of hijinks and compatible with most major websites. It never occurred to me that the gang in the Neighbors' Club hadn't really been using theirs. Or that they could build a whole episode around it. For better or worse, it shows that these people, who have nothing in common, are starting to treat each other as necessary, for whatever reason.
I think this is the first thing Sena genuinely didn't get. It makes sense. She's rich, and she tends to brush off most people anyway, so the idea of a portable way of communication never crossed her mind. The part in the bus was great. Rika steals any scene she's in really. The show's snowballing towards something great, I can tell.
Back to the pool next week! Only now, everyone's in on it!
