Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I\u2019m delighted to be returning to the charming and quietly thoughtful drama of Skip and Loafer, as Mitsumi continues to integrate into life in the big city. After receiving some contrasting advice from her new classmates regarding Sousuke and Mika, Mitsumi soon realized that second-guessing the motives of everyone simply isn\u2019t for her; she is happy to be herself, and the classmates who can appreciate her earnest, exuberant personality will naturally congregate around her. Her first group karaoke outing was thus a roaring success, as she fostered new bonds and solidified old ones through her selection of a classic childhood anthem.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s frankly refreshing to watch a character drama that takes so much care in articulating the nuances of someone like Mitsumi, who is fundamentally a pretty normal, well-adjusted person. Anxious and neurotic people tend to spend a whole lot of time actively stressing over their emotions, which leads to a whole lot of fiction about anxious and neurotic people – but the fact of it is, anxiety and self-doubt don\u2019t inherently make for any richer of an internal emotional life, they just tend to make their bearers more likely to scream that emotional life from the literary rooftops. I always appreciate when shows like Oregairu celebrate characters like Hayato, and I\u2019m thrilled to be following Mitsumi as well. Let\u2019s see where her journey leads next!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 3<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today Mitsumi is steeling herself up to enter the student council office, and embark on her grand journey through politics and back to mayorship of her hometown. Mitsumi is likely due for a reckoning regarding her life path at some point; she\u2019s following a strict blueprint of expected goal posts, and life has a way of complicating our attempts to wrangle it into a strict path. Navigating the realization that your life\u2019s not going precisely how you planned can be easier or harder depending on how much you invested in that plan; it\u2019s a realization that hits almost everybody at some point, so it\u2019s best to be ready for it<\/span><\/p>\n

Sousuke, of course, serves as a fine example of the opposite philosophy: he takes each day as it comes, holding no expectations regarding his own path or those of the people around him. This made him a natural foil for Mitsumi from the start, and we\u2019ll presumably learn soon how his own moment of \u201cthis isn\u2019t the life I expected\u201d came unusually early for him, owing to his unhappy child stardom<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oh my god Mitsumi. Her idle fantasies are of being interviewed for local color segments as a middle-aged woman, reflecting fondly on her time as student council president. You know what, considering her dreams are \u201cbureaucracy followed by becoming a remote town\u2019s mayor,\u201d perhaps she <\/span>won\u2019t<\/span><\/i> have any trouble following that life map<\/span><\/p>\n

Charming background art for this fantasy of moon-walking her way to the office. Skip and Loafer\u2019s production matches Mitsumi herself: not flashy, but entirely assured of itself, with gestures of vibrant personality scattered all throughout<\/span><\/p>\n

And this OP dance remains delightful. Again, nice to watch a show about characters who like each other and aren\u2019t afraid to say it. I love the angular messy dramas, but this is also excellent<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The student council office already has a lurker, a girl in braids named Kurume<\/span><\/p>\n

As she swiftly reveals, she\u2019s desperate to find some kind of community within the school, and assumes the diligent workers of the student council will best match her own speed<\/span><\/p>\n

Nice flourishes with smears and slightly simplified character designs as Mitsumi sneaks up on Kurume. It feels like this production is intentionally working to retain the loose, individualized energy of manga brush strokes, and successfully translating that sketchiness into tools appropriate for animation<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe flashy girl and the himbo! Why are they with her!?\u201d Kurume has constructed personalities for her classmates based entirely on their images, and thus can\u2019t parse this friendship with Mitsumi. Of course, the reason Sousuke and Yuzuki both like Mitsumi is that she <\/span>doesn\u2019t<\/span><\/i> judge people based on their appearances, and acts like her frank self in conversation with just about anyone<\/span><\/p>\n

Not much for it, though. To the socially anxious, the idea of presenting your earnest self at all times feels pretty close to a superpower<\/span><\/p>\n

Kurume immediately assumes the worst, seeing Mitsumi as some mob boss defending her turf<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As it turns out, the student council doesn\u2019t even recruit members. Mitsumi almost keels over at this challenge to her life plan<\/span><\/p>\n

The president\u2019s name is Yamamoto. He explains that while Mitsumi can\u2019t exactly usurp the existing student council, she can still join their support team<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitsumi is profoundly inspired by the council\u2019s ability to balance official duties with their studies. She\u2019s so damn earnest!<\/span><\/p>\n

The treasurer recommends breaking tasks down into micro-tasks, which is indeed a very handy cheat for fostering a persistent sense of accomplishment. Your brain doesn\u2019t care about the size of a task, it\u2019ll give you that \u201cjob well done\u201d feeling for any checkmark, so you might as well exploit that instinct to make your life easier<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I leave everything to luck, I\u2019ll never be on <\/span>Atsuatsu Tairiku<\/span><\/i>.\u201d Gather your courage, Mitsumi!<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kurume was so overwhelmed by that encounter that she attempts to scurry away to the literary club, presumably assuming they\u2019re a more sedate crowd than the student council. Unfortunately, Mitsumi is determined to befriend her, by force if she has to<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKurume-san, do you like sweet things?\u201d Mitsumi has a tendency to speak to everyone the same way she spoke to her neighbors back home, assuming a level of instant familiarity that\u2019s often a tad disorienting to the city crowd. It can make her come off as intimidating at first, but spend a little time with her and you realize she\u2019s not trying to strong-arm or scare you, she\u2019s just accustomed to sharing a base level of friendship with everyone<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did I order the same thing? I gave in to peer pressure!\u201d Also can be tough to avoid getting carried along by her enthusiasm<\/span><\/p>\n

And Kurume comes to appreciate what Sousuke\u2019s already realized, that it is absolutely delightful to watch Mitsumi try new things<\/span><\/p>\n

Kurume wonders aloud how they can get along in spite of being so different. Honestly, while being herself certainly helps, it\u2019s also helpful that Mitsumi has such a naturally affable, empathetic personality. \u201cJust be yourself\u201d is less actionable advice to someone with a naturally gloomy or uncharitable disposition<\/span><\/p>\n

Love Sousuke realizing this is a perfect \u201cexchange numbers\u201d moment, and frantically motioning with his phone. We caught another one, Mitsumii!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ah, and an endearing exchange back, as Mitsumi mouths \u201cthank you\u201d and Sousuke waves that it was nothing. Love how this show is emphasizing their increasing unity of nonverbal communication<\/span><\/p>\n

Yuzuki is sad to have missed their extremely blurry afterparty at Starmax<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear Yuzuki is more comfortable expressing her silly side via texts. Even these idle conversations are articulating so many convincing nuances of these characters – as I said, you don\u2019t need tragedy or anxiety for engaging, thoughtfully considered human drama<\/span><\/p>\n

And Kurume begins to realize making friends is easier than she expected, if only she leans in<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI wonder if Kurume had a good time.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m sure she did. You put the people around you at ease.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Aw, lovely moment of Kurume silently exulting on her tiptoes at having made friends<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitsumi\u2019s aunt graciously saves her from walking out in an ensemble composed of every cutesy red accessory at once<\/span><\/p>\n

Kurume successfully asks Mitsumi to join her at a movie. A great victory for Kurume!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the entire rest of the class is listening in, and decides to invite themselves to the screening as well. A staggering setback for Kurume!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitsumi and Kurume\u2019s fashion senses match their personalities: Mitsumi dresses younger than her age, delighting in big splashes of bold colors and cute designs, while Kurume dresses older than her age, wearing conservative fashion that helps her fade into the background<\/span><\/p>\n

Mika is briefly thrilled that her trendy fashion sense is outshining the other two, but then Yuzuki arrives in a dazzling mature ensemble<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHot girls can make even simple outfits look great.\u201d Mitsumi is a straightforward, kindhearted person, but Skip and Loafer itself doesn\u2019t share her outlook on life; it\u2019s capable of articulating people with more mistrust and deception in their philosophy just as well<\/span><\/p>\n

And Sousuke, perceptive as ever, seems to notice her self-doubt, and thus compliments her on her fashion sense<\/span><\/p>\n

Also a nice moment between Kurume and Yuzuki here, as Yuzuki attempts to talk with Kurume about an app they both use, and Kurume responds with a distant \u201cyeah,\u201d thus making Yuzuki feel self-conscious about her apparently intimidating effect. A tidy demonstration of how our presumed image can make it harder to connect with others<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yuzu makes one more attempt, then finally tells Kurume that it\u2019s okay if she just wants to be quiet. It\u2019s not easy for all of us to be like Mitsumi, and just joyfully move towards friendship with everyone, assuming everyone else has similarly honest intentions<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitsumi at last recognizes this tension, and scolds herself for not thinking of friendship compatibility while organizing this outing. It\u2019s an important leadership skill!<\/span><\/p>\n

Having bonded just a touch over popcorn, Kurume connects with Yuzu in her own way, sending a formal text apologizing for her distant manner<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think memories of places are memories of the people you went there with.\u201d An astute observation by Mitsumi<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

So ends another charming episode of Skip and Loafer, as Mitsumi gathers another satellite into her increasingly crowded orbit. The girl\u2019s just so straightforward and full of love for life that it\u2019s hard not to be caught up in her enthusiasm, whether you\u2019re a guarded beauty like Yuzu or a nervous wreck like Kurume. Through their mutual friendship with Mitsumi, nearly everyone she encounters comes to realize that what separates them from their classmates is far less than what brings them together – that they all want to be respected and understood, and that the labels they assign to each other are simply arbitrary barriers restricting honest friendship. It\u2019s clear that Yuzuki\u2019s intimidating aura has only made it harder for her to make friends, and it\u2019s a pleasure to see her pushing through that barrier, and finding common ground with this collection of oddballs. You\u2019re already a great leader in my book, Mitsumi!<\/span><\/p>\n
