Healer Girl Episode 8


I feel safe stating Reimi has recently been the MVP having this show. Kana's a perfectly great protagonist and Hibiki functions fine inside a group context, nevertheless outside of Sonia, it absolutely was the blonde-and-blue disaster girl providing the necessary energy to keep this musical technology raft afloat. And so I was very excited to obtain a full-on, zero caveats Reimi event. There's a great deal that's been hinted about her loved ones, and especially her maid/family friend Aoi, and even I thought searching into that could be pretty interesting. What I failed to expect was precisely what is easily Healer Girl's best published episode so significantly.

It's remarkably efficient at it also. Before this we'd acquired what, 30 moments of screen-time intended for Aoi total, in addition to a couple of lines establishing just how she and Reimi know eachother? Yet in just a few scenes of the two co-habitating the display is able in order to establish a friendly and familiar partnership that really will think that two near friends who have known eachother forever. Is actually effective enough that I mostly forgot about the weird idea that Aoi wears a full-on house maid outfit in the otherwise totally modern house. Like that looks weird some other individuals, right? I get that anime service personnel in modern settings are entirely presently there for the visual, but at least the rich heroes they serve generally live in comically first-rate, traditional mansions. ButBlack Clover Gogoanime 's in a two-story suburb. Plus also her household personally knows Aoi and seemingly employed her as a great excuse to help out a detailed friend's daughter. Are Reimi's parents weirdos who made this girl they've known given that she was some sort of teenager dress just like character from Emma: A Victorian Romantic endeavors?

They're certainly crazies who spend relatively years touring in another country, until Reimi essentially only hears by them through slated video calls. That will loneliness? as well as the convenience Aoi represents since Reimi's closest family? is what genuinely makes this episode work. On the particular surface this is a pretty simple conflict? Aoi thinks she needs to stick to Reimi, and put her own ambitions on hold in doing thus, which only will serve to make Reimi experience guilty. But the particular way both are recognized, Reimi too prideful and stubborn in order to properly talk it, Aoi too self-effacing to admit she's sacrificing something to settle with her, makes this a truly compelling problem with regard to them to deal with. The show ultimately decides it's far better for Aoi to follow her ambitions to study cello rather than stay with Reimi, but there's an emotionally compelling argument regarding why she'd want to stay? Reimi may have the girl mentor and other apprentices now, although it's obviously nevertheless heartbreaking to deliver off the just constant in the woman home life. The girl farewell song is definitely genuinely affecting, plus the moment your woman broke down following Aoi left intended for real was bittersweet in an extremely powerful way.

Which is why is actually type of a bummer to find the post-credits picture immediately pull the full 180 in the whole factor and wrap upwards the problem without any real negative effect. It's not so bad it invalidates the drama that came before? both Reimi and Aoi have matured many from the turmoil and the relationship has grown as a considerably more equal and testing one? but it really absolutely undercuts the drama of the image resolution. Like you may have done something a lot extra effecting here, or perhaps at least stored Aoi's return to have an episode or 2 later! Then a person get the misery of their separating, knowing it's ultimately for the better, before ultimately having the joy of their reunion following the first sense has had period to sit. As-is, it's just an outrageous, unnecessary method to organised up the sole character conflict that will wasn't 100% optimistic for those involved.


That sucks, because normally this was easily typically the most grounded and relatable drama of which Healer Girl features delivered until now. And maybe I'm only a weirdo who likes to have a little sadness or bittersweet ambiguity to go along with this specific kind of sentimentality, but the post-credits backpedal can't aid but feel low-cost in my opinion. It's nonetheless overall a sturdy episode, and cements Reimi as my personal favorite by the country mile, but I can not help nevertheless grumble all typically the same.
