It’s a nice touch that the show added, though on my first watch through, it was easy to miss. Considering how complex each set of phone lines are, it highlights the facts that no matter how many times he tries, the end result always focuses on Hiyori, albeit through a very different route each time. Interestingly, there’s one scene in particular where all the phone lines meet where Hiyori is, indicating perhaps a convergence of all the timelines that Hibiya has to travel through. An interesting theme that isn’t seen in the music videos for Kagerou Days is the usage of telephone cables. Hence, for this post, I will refrain from being overly focused on the negatives (as a side note though, Hiyori …what did they do to her…).įirst, let’s focus on the symbolism. With the passing of the most significant plot segment of the entire series, I can safely say this–what I have said these past three episodes will apply to every episode thereafter, including this one. If you really want me to explain the analogy, I can entertain that request in the comments, but the above sums up my experience thus far with MEKAKUCITY ACTORS. I try my hardest to rate things positively as to not stifle the mood of my obviously happy and satisfied friend, but all that I can muster is a forced smile and nuanced compliments, and acknowledge that they are justified to enjoy that hot dog, just as much as I am justified to complain to the chef and the restaurant after my friend leaves.

I wonder if my friend, oblivious to the capacity of this five star restaurant or to the true potential of kobe beef, would taste things differently if they saw things from my perspective. I take a bite out of the hot dog in goodwill to see if this was some new-style hot dog, but alas, it’s just a hot dog…made from kobe beef. My friend bites down and is really happy that it’s the best hot dog they’ve ever had, but I just sit there in disbelief. However, when we are served our meal (quite quickly in fact), we are simply given two hot dogs. I decide to keep the theme a secret from my friend to see his reaction. Having checked with the chef beforehand, I personally get to know that today’s menu would be made from the legendary kobe beef. I’ve been to this restaurant a few times before and boy, were they excellent. Today, I’m treating them to this restaurant, which makes the best meat dishes in the nation. I’m sitting in a five star restaurant with a guest chef serving me and my friend personally. My own personal journey through this show has been as follows. Let’s start this week’s review with a really bad analogy.
