(Hi) Whisper Me a Love Song [Amazon Prime]

[stray]

There's a viral Xitter thread detailing some pretty terrible working conditions on Sasakoi. I guess its not surprising at this point if true but damn.

[Kuroageha]

Production got suspended.

[FlareKnight]

Oh boy. Well definitely not surprised.

Spoiler for ep8:

Well, that was such a lame reason for Shiho being so nasty to everyone
Some girl she knew was better at what she did. And that's it.
Oh, and just to spite her behind her back, she's gonna do band

You crazy

Shame the rescheduling. This was clearly not one of the anime the industry would put money into, so its not like I cared much about the animation quality.

Yup, just the usual anime industry. Next.

Yeah, Shiho is a damn idiot. Credit to her I suppose. She really does make Aki seem like a sensible person by comparison. I mean, I get it. Seeing people better at things than you is never fun...that doesn't make being incredibly petty look good.

Really sucks that the show will be paused at this point for who knows how long. Because...it ends on Shiho looking like the most pathetic human being. She couldn't handle being second behind this other girl so she took up the guitar to literally spite her. Wow . I guess it's a good thing she didn't simply take up the guitar in order to be #1 there instead since you know...she's probably not going to be. There's only one person out of the billions in the world that can be at the top of any one thing. It's probably not going to be her for guitars, violins, or much else. Even if this friend wasn't superior to Shiho at the violin, I'm sure someone else in the world was.

At least this clears it up. She's pissed at any group that isn't seriously trying to go pro because she needs that to satisfy her childish grudge....against someone that had zero hostility towards her. I can't wait to see how supremely upbeat Himari tries to spin this into a positive .

I guess she lost track of her focus within SS. She enjoyed the friendship, had feelings for Aki, and all was great. Maybe, maybe she figured out her feelings for Yori and realizing that wouldn't work out she snapped and went back to her original grudge. And seeing that the SS girls weren't trying to reach that level (or because she couldn't stand being around Aki after realizing it) she threw a tantrum and left.

I'm trying to give her something that isn't the worst motivation imaginable. But...geeze. The only things this girl has going for her are being cute and her musical talents.

They probably won't be able to air the final two episodes though since they'll have run out of timeslots after ep 10.

Welcome back show. I've seen worse hiatus. Hopefully they can finish up the show (even if they'll likely have to find sometime to air the last episodes down the road).

Gee I wonder why she hasn't told anyone about such a petty and stupid reason for wanting to go pro ? Sounds like the kind of thing a person would totally want to broadcast! Seriously the break was nice, but the stupidity of Shiho's motivations remains as amazing as ever. Himari is a wonderfully upbeat person, but I worry for her trying to spin everything in the world in a positive way. Now I kind of want to see her spin a serial killer's actions into a positive...

I could feel the facepalm coming when Himari started to try and draw everyone together... There's just no way that would turn out ok! It wouldn't even be likely if Shiho had a good reason for wanting to go pro! This petulant reason isn't going to draw everyone together in smiles and cheer! Sure if we focus on the reason she left the band it will be less pathetic since it's just normal jealousy. Though I mean...that's still not great.

I'm sure seeing people she knows not get along isn't fun. But being a cute airhead will not resolve all of Himari's life's problems! Though apparently I'm wrong since everyone was pretty much willing to indulge her. Only one person in that room is actually dating Himari. The rest shouldn't be trying to indulge her just because she looks sad!

On the positive side Shiho is so pathetic that she's kind of amazing. Completely lost her head over realizing that she lost to a one-sided love that wouldn't bloom. So she turned the bet into something utterly stupid because she could. Credit to Aki for being willing to shut the whole thing down. Getting answers wasn't worth dragging someone else into it. Himari did take it out of her hands, but I respect Aki for being a good person in this.
