I saw somebody suggest the significance of the theme song's title being a palindrome is that it represents things having two sides, and I really like that idea. I don't know if that's the explicit intention behind it or not, but it absolutely fits what Revice is all about, and that same theme comes across very strongly in this episode. There are a lot of people who have these two equal and inseparable parts to them that are complete opposites, yet the same, that also meet in the middle. You see it with Ikki, whose desire to help his family just as quickly becomes an excuse to ignore his brother's requests. You see it with Daiji, whose strong sense of responsibility creates this impatient undercurrent of frustration at his own inability to act. You see it with Ayaka, who lets her longing for familial affection be twisted into causing that same family pain. And you even see it with Ayaka's mother, who loves her daughter so much, she forgot to show her daughter any love.
And I think what this episode does so well – that really illustrates what that interview with the producer that was mentioned in the thread for the premiere was talking about when he said Hanta Kinoshita's writing doesn't leave a bad aftertaste despite the weighty nature of the material – is that it's stressing how, inherently, there's at least as much good in the bad as there is bad in the good? All those characters I just mentioned have these flaws they have to confront, and it's genuinely kinda ugly stuff when you stop to think about it, but they're allowed to work through it and come out on the other side better people because of it. I only vaguely know what point I'm trying to make here, but, I don't know. The drama in this one felt extremely weighty and well-considered. That look on Ikki's face in the aftermath of the fight in the middle, where
everything
has gone wrong, especially, really hit me in the gut for something this early in a show. It's saying so much with so few actual words.
