How many times or how much did you cry in this episode? Japanese articles talked about the viewers response of drying up tear ducts for this episode
( Read more... )
Hahaha I didn't notice it but yeah "sore de" is kind of becoming Aizawa's catchphrase. What is up with Aizawa this season he's becoming more adorable for me! His odd quirks are like what I see in anime characters that are super cool but have funny quirks about them that makes them seem less intimidating and loveable haha :D And who invited Aizawa to come along when he doesn't even sit with the girls?? Was it a coincidence again? He came and Shiraishi and the girls were already there? He had to be invited this time around, coz it's clear they were at Mary Jane's bar to celebrate Saejima's wedding.
You commented on all my main highlights for this episode too. There was one thing I hoped we see was when Natori mentioned "his father told him to come," I thought at that moment maybe Shiraishi was thinking of her own father but maybe that's for the next episode? I was hoping for a bigger reaction. But if she did think of her own dad, will we finally see what happened to Shiraishi's dad?
So far I think that S3 touched upon topics in S1/2 without being TOO obvious that they're telling the viewers to remember what happened in the previous seasons. Like the whole theme in S3E3, I thought we'd get a flashback or something that makes it obvious that Aizawa thought of Kuroda-sensei. But nothing was mentioned. It's just all up to our interpretation, that Aizawa definitely thought of Kuroda and his past patients. Season 3 is a continuation of S1 & 2 without being too obvious. And while I'm okay with that, for nostalgia sake, I want them to tell us more about what happened during the 7 year time skip hm.
And if only Aizawa gave Kanade a smile earlier, her issue would have been dealt with more quick LOL but I guess Shinkai's all smiles isn't as encouraging as Aizawa's rare yet sincere one?
That Shinkai is getting too cocky around Aizawa I legit was frowning at the screen when he joined the operation. And he goes all "Needs my hands~" and I rolled my eyes lmao (not Yukimura-style tho) but then BOOM got the chills when Aizawa glared at the dude (and that creepy music to go with Aizawa's glare was on point!)
And yeah, Aizawa and Shinkai are the best surgeons? Um what happened to Saijo-sensei asdfghasd like you said I'll just assume Shiraishi said that to ease the parents. AND I NEED THAT OST THAT PLAYED DURING AIZAWA AND SHINKAI'S OPERATION IT'S SO COOL (reminds me of Fairy Tail OSTs)
Oh yess even when I livestreamed the episode, I still understood what Saejima was saying to Yukimura, that she wants Yukimura to be the kind of nurse that will make people relieved and assured. It also made me think of when Hiyama comforted Saejima after Satoshi's death and Shiraishi saying Saejima is their light (HOW CAN I FORGET IT'S THE BEST SHIRAISHI X HIYAMA X SAEJIMA INTERACTION WE GOT FROM S2 HUHU MY QUEENS). Oh, see? This season doesn't make obvious flashbacks but as hardcore CB fans, we're reminded of moments from S1 and 2 that connect with S3. Saejima must've remembered the first time Hiyama and Shiraishi (or maybe anyone) told her that her presence was comforting, not just because of her skills as a nurse.
Not much to elaborate on the Hanabi scene with the Tachibana family besides the fact that I bawled :P EVEN MORE WHEN MITSUI BROKE DOWN AND HAD TO GET UP AND HIDE BEHIND YUSUKE UGH RYO'S ACTING <3
I don't care how sad things will be, somehow keep at least one light-hearted scene in an episode please CB writer? The comedy this season is really gold imo, maybe coz our main 5 aren't as uptight as they used to be otherwise everything was a competition. And the comedy doesn't only rely on Fujikawa this time. Aizawa, Shiraishi, Hiyama and even Saejima play a part. I think their comical sides make up for not having Morimoto-sensei this season.
Ep 4 ended with a major tense cliffhanger, but with your trans for the next story, I guess Shiraishi/Hiyama's convo abt Ogata will be a bit comical? I mean Hiyama can't be THAT heartbroken right? He only said like a few nice things, she can't have fallen that deep already, right? GIRL RUN AWAY FROM HIM HE'S GOT A WIFE
I think there were a lot of negative reactions to Hiyama's "possible" affair story from Japanese viewers. Some said that Hiyama's character (or Toda Erika's acting) doesn't deserve to be degraded into someone who has love troubles. What do u think? For me, I slightly agree with them, I always saw Hiyama as an strong, independent woman that gives no f*cks about men but then I rewatched S1E10. Hiyama said to Shiraishi she doesn't want her to quit because she wants Shiraishi to listen to her love troubles until morning (lmao). And it made me a bit guilty coz I felt like I was projecting Hiyama as some woman who doesn't need a love life when in reality, Hiyama probably has more experience than any of the 5. Maybe not a painful love like Saejima, but you know, the casual, normal relationship phase people go through depsite Hiyama being a doctor. (I mean in S2 she says casually that she wants to go to a goukon, means she appreciates a good social life away from the hospital, unlike Shiraishi and Aizawa who seems to have no interest till now lol)
So while I disagree with Japanese viewers thinking Hiyama's character is degraded just because she might like someone, I DO THINK HER CHARACTER IS TREATED UNFAIRLY BY MAKING HER FALL FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS A WIFE IDK IT SEEMED UNTHINKABLE TO ME OF ALL PEOPLE THE WRITER CHOSE HIYAMA TO HAVE THAT KIND OF COMPLICATED LOVE STORY. But at the same time, while I hate Hiyama's being treated this way, I'm also curious what will happen? How will Hiyama handle this? I don't know, I guess I have mixed feelings for the love elements on Hiyama's part. I can say for sure the person who changed the most in the past 7 years is Hiyama. Saejima and Aizawa have gotten a bit more gentle, Shiraishi's less serious, but Hiyama? I don't know how to explain it but I think she changed the most (in a good way ofc). Everyone matured but Hiyama's maturity level even more compared to S1 & 2. And her voice got deeper too (Along with Shiraishi lol rewatching S1 and Shiraishi's voice was as tiny as a mouse). She just seemed like an impulsive girl before but now really a full blown, mature woman. Then again, when she was complaining about her worries over a younger replacement, it reminds me of when Hiyama was threatened of Shiraishi overtaking her in S2. IDK ITS JUST THE VIBES IM GETTING I FEEL LIKE HIYAMA CHANGED THE MOST I LOVE HER A WHOLE LOT MORE IN S3. Best part about this episode has to be Hiyama x Shiraishi x Saejima's moments I love them so much! Thinking about how much their relationship changed over the years, they're so much more like best friends now. And I'm excited to see we'll get Aizawa x Fujikawa bonding in the next episode. Aizawa despite being the cold guy he is, always knows the right thing to say imo
On Hiyama's story being degraded to a "love story". Same stand. I don't mind giving her a love story but come on, give her something to appease her now troubled soul, not some love affair. She deserves something more than that. I can only blame the new writer for this since I think she has a knack for forbidden type love stories, ugh [Reference: her past getsu9 dramas Shitsuren Chocolatier (adultery), Taisetsu na koto wo subete oshiete kureta (teacher/student)-incidently stars TodaEri too]. SOMEONE STOP HER!!! Of the 5 of them, I also thought of Hiyama as the one who has a social life the most. In addition to those past instances you mentioned, wasn't she also incredulous finding out Shiraishi has a "guy" (S2E4) lol
Female friendship like Shiraishi x Hiyama x Saejima please. Shiraishi & Hiyama of course hit it off first being in the same boat as flight doctors but with Saejima it wasn't too evident until Satoshi's death. It was wonderful to have witnessed it grow, how they supported each other. Like when Shiraishi wanted go quit, Hiyama & Saejima didn't allow her to (S1E10). Shiraishi stood by Hiyama throughout her lawsuit (S2E7) and of course Shiraishi & Hiyama supported Saejima when Satoshi passed away. At present, Saejima is still Saejima snapping at the doctors lol (S3E2) but note that there she asked "is that as a friend..." and it was so nice to see them together all relaxed, celebrating at Mary Jane's bar.
What happened to Aizawa? I think he's getting more and more humanized. Just like Season 1, he was still so technical, all focused in honing his skills but being reunited with his grandma and meeting these comrades, he's gotten more humanized. Like what his promotional vid for the Season 3 said, he's formed bonds in his heart :) which maybe, he lost a bit when he was in Neuro? But now that he's back in lifesaving, reunited with his old friends, his odd human self is surfacing again. In being in the bar, when did Aizawa ever volunteer to sit with the others anyway? Never! LOL He always sits on the table next to them or they join him in his table. So I'd like to believe he was invited to join the celebration for Saejima and he happened to be off duty that night. Those odd quirks indeed make him more lovable :3
Don't we all want to know what happened in the 7 year gap! We have so many questions on the relationships they've shown in S2 that are still unanswered in this new season so far. And I love how subtle their references are too on the previous season because not everything needs to be explicit. Shiraishi mentioning Kuroda-sensei was enough. Only geeks like us would remember, including the particular season & episode lol.
Aizawa's smile is so rare so it's really rewarding to receive it. Not like Shinkai who just have it plastered on his face you don't know if he's sincere lol
Japanese fans love that new BGM too. We've heard it twice so far and both on operations. I think it's great too depicting the action and tension during surgery.
Our OT5 has gotten over that competition phase already. Before they were fighting for that internship, for their position as flight doctor but now they're fighting together for this new lifesaving.
