Komi Can't Communicate Season 1 Episode 7

Okay, let's talk Komi Can't Communicate. Specifically, episode 7. We're diving in headfirst!

That "Eraser" Bit, Though...

First up, the eraser game. Remember that? Everyone pretending not to want Komi-san's eraser.

I'm going to say it: it was a little...awkward. Maybe it’s just me?

Like, I get the whole shy-and-trying-to-be-cool vibe, but it felt a bit forced. Am I the only one who cringed a tiny bit?

Don't get me wrong, the animation was gorgeous! Seeing Komi-san's internal struggle is always gold.

Ah, the pool! A classic anime trope. This episode finally showed Komi-san in a swimsuit!

But honestly, the best part was the inner monologues. Everyone was freaking out, internally, but acting chill on the surface. So relatable.

Especially Tadano. Bless his heart. He tries so hard.

And all those side characters with their crazy antics? Always a laugh riot. Nakanaka's chuunibyou powers were on full display.

Although, the "cool kid" with the sunglasses kinda bugged me. Was he necessary? Debatable.

The recurring theme of making friends is sweet, of course. That's the core of Komi Can't Communicate.

But sometimes, it feels like everyone is too eager to be her friend. It's like, dial it back a notch, people! Give the poor girl some space!

It's like they want to befriend her because she's popular, not because they actually want to know her. This might be an unpopular opinion.

Still, the episode did a good job showing how Komi-san is slowly starting to open up. Small steps are still steps!

Here's a hot take: Najimi is kinda annoying. Okay, I said it! Don't @ me!

I get that they're supposed to be the chaotic wildcard, but sometimes it's just too much. Too overwhelming.

There, I feel better. Now, back to praising Komi-san's beauty. Where were we?

And can we talk about the animation again? The way they portray her emotions through subtle expressions is just amazing.

Overall, episode 7 was a solid entry in the series. Funny, heartwarming, and just a little bit awkward (in a good way?).

So, did episode 7 solidify Komi Can't Communicate as a must-watch? Probably. It has its moments.

Were there things that made me cringe? Maybe a little. But hey, that's anime for you!

Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Just be prepared for some second-hand embarrassment and a whole lot of cuteness overload. You've been warned!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch the scene where Tadano tries to be cool. Because that's just pure gold.

And maybe avoid erasers for a while. Just to be safe.
