Akane-banashi #7 Reaction

Commenter

Akane-banashi time letsgoooooooooo!!!!!!

Commenter

Wild that we get to hear Keisuke Kuwata's OP every single week in this Reiwa era...

Commenter

Issho-shisho as a judge is way too OP, the Karaku Cup literally turned into the Koshien of Rakugo lol

Commenter

Here it comes, the super heavy yandere-level lesbian vibes!!

Commenter

Peak nerd rapid-fire speech right there

Commenter

Hikaru is so damn cute tho

Commenter

Funny of the anime to say "voice acting is totally different from drawing" lol ^^

Commenter

Karasu is voiced by Loid!!

Commenter

Since her mom's a hair stylist, I bet Akane learned how to put on a kimono there.

Commenter

That awkward moment when you think someone's calling you

Commenter

The Karaku Cup arc really defines this series' popularity, absolute god-tier stuff

Commenter

Lowkey nice of the teacher to actually show up and watch

Commenter

Doing Jugemu for Rakugo

Commenter

Finally sounds like words instead of a weird spell, huh?

Commenter

The rivalry and friendship between Akane, Karasu, and Hikaru gets so good later on, definitely check the manga if you're curious...

Commenter

Hearing actual pro voice actors bring Karasu and Hikaru to life... man, this is why anime is so good. Can't wait for Akane's Jugemu!

Commenter

Rie-rie and Eguchi completely dropping their usual voices is insane 😳 You only notice if you really listen closely...

Commenter

Wait, Akane has a little fang? Cute as hell

Commenter

Ultra-speed Jugemu!!

Commenter

How the hell do you rattle off lines that long without tripping over them...?! (lol)

Commenter

Doing Jugemu in Akane-banashi has got to be way harder than normal Rakugo tho.

Commenter

Wait? Did they fast-forward the voice actor's audio or something?? Anna Nagase is a freakin' monster!!!!!!

Commenter

It's like Mr. Ajikko, but for Rakugo 😂

Commenter

If they didn't use editing for that fast talking, Anna Nagase is seriously unreal.

Commenter

They kept talking about how adapting Rakugo into an anime would be tough, but the voice acting challenge and the classic Shonen Jump style growth battle are what make it so good... Ngl Nagase nailed Akane's first Jugemu so hard.

Commenter

Let's goooo, love how Karasu is just out here setting up all these massive flags woooooo

Commenter

Karasu is basically a stand-up comedian at this point lol

Commenter

She's definitely saying "ponpokona no ponpokopi no", right? I always thought it was ponpokopi no ponpokona no, guess I was wrong? Which is it actually?

Commenter

In an old-school shojo manga, whatever drink the rival hands her would definitely be laced with laxatives.

Commenter

Hikaru's massive crush arrows showing right from day one lmao

Commenter

Rie-rie actually practiced Rakugo too. Wait, did pretty much all the main cast have to practice it?

Commenter

Anna Nagase getting cast in everything lately is so deserved. Personally prefer her in roles like Ice Wall though.

Commenter

Guriko-san, you should've just said that to his face lol

Commenter

Wonder if she's gonna switch to the version where Jugemu actually dies for the finals.

Commenter

Guriko-san is way too considerate, absolute bro

Commenter

Guriko's English graphic tee just says SOKOTSU, classic w

Commenter

Hikaru's Kyushu dialect has an illegal amount of damage power !!!!!!!

Commenter

Being a voice actor AND doing Rakugo is just cracked (same goes for the actual Rakugoka vas in this)

Commenter

Young, cute, and talented -> YCT

Commenter

Hikaru getting all pissed off is adorable

Commenter

If even Rie Takahashi has to grind this hard, the voice acting industry in this universe is beyond cooked???

Commenter

Freakin' annoying!!

Commenter

No way Anna Nagase did that in one take right? If she actually did that first try it's way too insane

Commenter

They're already playing on a completely different stage from here on out

Commenter

Akane and Kiseo having the same hair and eye color definitely means something...

Commenter

Hikaru and Karasu just make Akane shine even brighter. Top-tier quality and adaptation, literally 120% brought to life in the anime! Getting to experience this real-time evolution alongside the perfect cast is such a blessing to be alive right now 😆✨

Commenter

Hikaru is fuming!! And here comes Issho-shisho!!

Commenter

Today's summary: Hikaru is cute, Jugemu is Forest Bear, Hikaru is mega cute

Commenter

Read the manga, but yeah, you really need the anime to fully grasp how insane this series is

Commenter

Everyone who cleared the qualifiers is probably gonna swap out their acts, so the real tournament literally starts right here...

Commenter

Never read the manga so idk, but what was up with that "monotone" Jugemu? Jugemu is supposed to be sung with rhythm and melody, not just rushed through like a tongue twister...

Commenter

First time watching live on TV in ages and I'm so hyped for the finals. Watching Akane-banashi use verbal wordplay for battle really reminds you it's a Jump manga at heart.

Commenter

That Jugemu was insane... knowing how much training went into the rehearsal eps makes Nagase's effort hit so different, totally blown away 🙏🏻

Commenter

That fast-fire Jugemu was crazy!! Can't wait to see how the dynamic plays out now that Hikaru's got her in the crosshairs as a rival!! Finally heading into the main tournament! Can she really win the whole thing with just Jugemu?! 🪭

Commenter

Omg SO good!! Been waiting forever for Hikaru's dialect part, so happy ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝ Nagase blasting through a Jugemu that's already long as hell was unreal! And Karasu's speaking style is top-tier! Eguchi is a god! Eguchi is a god! Eguchi is a god! Can't wait for next week (◍ ´꒳` ◍)

Commenter

Finally introducing the rival in episode 7. Taking their sweet time with it, huh

Commenter

The Karaku Cup has officially started 👏🏻🪭 Way too hyped for this...!! Can't wait to see how Akane's Jugemu evolves 🙂‍↕️✨ Need to hear Karasu and Hikaru's Rakugo ASAP too 🥹 Next week can't come fast enough ~🫶🏻
