Komi Can't Communicate Season 1 Episode 12
Okay, let's talk about Komi Can't Communicate episode 12. Specifically, season 1 episode 12. It's the one where New Year's hits, right?
Everyone's bundled up, going to the shrine. So cute! Except...am I the only one who found it a little slow?
The Shrine Visit: Good But…
Don't get me wrong, the shrine visit was adorable. Komi trying to be normal in a crowd? Peak comedy. But compared to some earlier episodes, it felt like the energy dipped.
Must Read
Maybe it was the New Year's calm getting to me. Or maybe I was just impatient for something big to happen. I wanted fireworks, not just the metaphorical kind!
Unpopular Opinion Alert!
Brace yourselves. This is where I might lose some of you. I think this episode is…overrated? Gasp!
Everyone raves about the subtle character development. And yes, Komi making an offering is sweet. But it didn't grab me like, say, the cat cafe episode.
I know, I know. Blasphemy! But hear me out. The build-up to the new year felt longer than the actual celebration. Did anyone else feel that?
The Kite Flying Scene
Okay, the kite flying scene was pretty good. Especially the part where Tadano helps Komi. That was heartwarming.
It was a classic "will they/won't they?" moment. My shipper heart fluttered a little. But again, not quite enough to elevate the entire episode.
Maybe I expected too much. Maybe my expectations were sky high. But for a season finale (basically), it felt...underwhelming.
Let's Talk About Najimi
Seriously, Najimi is always gold. Their energy is infectious. And their ability to be everywhere and know everything is both terrifying and hilarious.
Even Najimi, the master of chaos, couldn't inject enough excitement. Even Najimi could not prevent it!
I'm starting to sound like a hater, aren't I? Trust me, I love Komi Can't Communicate! But even good shows have their weaker moments.
The Ending: A Little…Flat?
The episode ends with everyone resolving to have a good year. A perfectly acceptable ending. But not a memorable one.
I was hoping for a cliffhanger! A big reveal! Anything to keep me on the edge of my seat. Instead, I got a gentle nudge towards the next season.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited for more Komi Can't Communicate. But I'm hoping season 2 starts with a bang. And not a quiet, polite one.
Final Thoughts (And Maybe an Apology)
So, there you have it. My slightly controversial take on Komi Can't Communicate season 1 episode 12. I still think it's a good episode.
It's just...not my favorite. Maybe I'm just a sucker for high-energy chaos. Or maybe I just need more Najimi.
Am I completely alone in this? Or are there others out there who feel the same way? Let me know in the comments!
