Anego Episode 1 Reactions
that hand on the thigh move coming from a married man genuinely left me in a state of shock she should've known right then & there what business he was about. so i am beginning my restart of anego after getting to . . . THAT episode on my first run like a day ago & because i am closer to my one year anniversary starting this show then to when i started it i felt it was needed. & i made the right fucking decision good god this show started so strong. so amazingfly strong【 SPOILERS START HERE 】this show does a really good job at setting & i mean what's going on in the background of a character. i first noticed how brilliantly nadoko's living space informs us after she finishes her night & cutting to mourning where she's up after fifty off+screen beers. her work+place is a location i really really enjoy seeing ,it's so cozy. i think the furnishing is so cute but the office is set up in a very intimate way where they can freely talk to eachother where they arew seated & everypony is involved & can chime in. i also think her little secretarial desk in the meeting scene is so adorables.。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ naoko & kurosawa's first meeting is a very memorable scene to me ,i genuinely internalized her advice not to act like a student when he is now a working employee. they say a lot to each other ,they say meaningful things which is a really sad bar to have to have but i will clap at them for meeting it. another good scene are the two immediately back two back with it ,& also the phone call with the mother but I'll get to that later. the conversation with the boys is really good to set up the dynamics at play here & it also touches on the conscious styling work this show has ,i will also elaborate later. then we have the type & printing error where the dynamics pushes naoko into a spot where she as a woman has to lecture the other women. & then we have kana being difficult but fully justified in what she's saying. which is annoying. but this is a good thing. saotome & hasegawa are incredibly fleshy characters already with very clear personalities that lead to realistic actions.【 I BEGIN TO SPOILER FUTURE EPISODE INFORMATION WHEN IT IS CONNECTED TO THIS EPISODE 】i really enjoy the bar location too it's very cozy & small so it feels intimate ,especially because this is where friends will meet. i love the golf part of the episode. the styling department really shined here. kato wears an on theme out+fit ,she cares about her appearance contrary to what tachibana was yapping about for her age+mates. she looks clean & polished. eriko looks like jackie kennedy. she is the perfect house+wife image ,she is everything frumpy naoko is not. naoko is also the only one of the women to wear pants in these scenes to further drive down her sex appeal. tachibana is dressed similar to kato a little where he suits the image of a golfer while their boss is actually dressed like a man playing a sport. kurosawa is dressed like a teenager whos parents woke him up early for this. & they all play exactly like what my analysis would imply. also i need everypony to pay attention to the background like i said before because the actors STAY in character no matter who the camera focuses on oh my god jin is fucking hilarious in this like my god. my favorite performance of him this episode was his little-incel in training-facial expressions during his & tachibana's boys' talk at lunch i mentioned earlier. the best scene in this entire episode ,honestly entire show is the CAR SCENE . . . another very good acting moment is how tomosaka rie's face switches as soon as her husband gets in the car after hearing how him & naoko are familiar with each other earlier. as somepony who has watched ahead oh my god is the set+ups so good. this show is written to a tea & revisiting eriko & naoko's golf meeting is a must. a quicker+paying set+up was hasegawa's computer flops coming back to bite her. her stepping on naoko also coming back to bite her.。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ here i want to talk about the characters. naoko standing up for hasegawa ,after she stole miyamoto for herself says so much about her & the good+natured person she is. but she is not the wonder woman that she has to be to everypony. she has her insecurities & when miyamoto strikes them she doesn't have a come+back to throw at him. she has a plea to her boss. & despite her insecurity that flares up with eriko ,she is still a person with a good nature who wants to stand by hasegawa & anypony else. i look up to her but i also understand her. my favorite character is kato-san. i really do like straight+laced characters & not just mean girls. she is head+strong & won't be pushed over or pidgeon±holed like naoko ,who she loyally supports because naoko earned that unlike the rest of contract girls. i also like how the contract employment is going to continuously play out & how it's not an easy fix & isn't portrayed as such ,it's just something that lingers over them like taxing season.。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ the final scene i want to touch on is the flash+back to when she was the exact same age as kurosawa. having her mother dpwm±play to again reinforce marriage propaganda & tie naoko's worth to a man ,making both times her mother twalked to her was to wave a husband in hwr face. we really get to understand naoko & the things thast make her cry. & who is there to stop her tears ? a member of kat-tun whoich basically checks off every fucking dream boy category one could have in the year ⅯⅯⅤ. revisitng this episode ,this show was soo excellently wirtten. not a single minute that stretches to an hour was wasted. every word said carries the weight it needed to & says all that needed to be said. there is no unnecessary scene & there is no botched pacing. everything happens perfectly & i can not ask for better. this is a ten star ★ episode i love everything about it.
