Whisper Me A Love Song Episode 3 Review - What Is Romantic Love?
While this episode is cute as heck, the power point transition slides are sort of killing the vibes. Like, I get it, it’s a new scene; there’s no need to splatter the transitions every time. Despite this, it was a nice insight episode on Himari as a person.
Himari never felt love before. Whenever she says love, it’s platonic in a sense. She once lost a friend in middle school because her friend told her she had a crush on this boy but when Himari said that she liked him too, albeit platonic, the misunderstanding caused her friend to move to another group of friends. Wow, what a b*tch. I get it, though. Middle schoolers are mean as heck. Heck, I’ve encountered my fair share when I was at that age. I even lost some friends too. Himari might be weird for not being able to interpret love the same way others can, but everyone’s different. Given her thoughts, she could be aromantic, but I’m not an expert on these types of things.
The way Himari takes her time to gather her thoughts in order to give Yori a profound answer reminds me of Sasaki and Miyano where Sasaki confesses to Miyano, but the latter requests that he wants the former to wait until he gives him an answer. Since Miyano did fall for Sasaki genuinely later on, I’m sure the same will apply for Himari when it comes to Yori.
However, I’m glad that Yori’s not upset by her answer. Instead, she’s going to work hard to make Himari fall for her genuinely. Yori making an attempt to do so by joining the band was actually nice. She was always a bit back and forth on her music, so to join the band fully just to make Himari fall for her because she knows her crush likes her voice is pure girl boss move. She wants her girl and she will work for it. Go, Yori!
The side characters play a nice role. Miki tries to help Himari what sort of stuff people do when they fall in love. Ultimately, it’s Himari’s mother who helps Himari understand and give an answer. Her mother dated her father during their third year of high school, but her father kept pursuing her since they were first years. When they went out on a date, she realized she did love him and that’s how they got married. I do wonder if Himari’s father will ever make an appearance. There’s also mention of a character named Shiho, so I wonder if this Shiho person will make an appearance later on. Speaking of Himari’s mother, she is voiced by Natsumi Takamori, who voiced Kome-Kome in Delicious Party Precure! That’s so surprising!
I do hope that the powerpoint transitions lessen next episode and that there will be more singing. I wonder what sort of stuff Yori will do with the band in order for her to get Himari’s attention. I’ll be waiting next week.
