Ninnin Rewatch! 29 + 30

Episode 29 pulls the most quintessentially Ninninger move possible by taking a silly plot about the team playing the MotW's magic board game and using it as an excuse to tell a dramatic, character-driven story. In this case about ~dreams~, for one, but more importantly it's about Tsumuji and his past. Basically this episode is totally awesome.

Episode 30 is maybe the first episode of the entire show solely about Takaharu? Usually he's either paired with someone else, like family stuff with Fuuka, or being used to reflect on the team as a whole, like Lion Ha-Oh's debut. Since this is the back half of the show and Takaharu's characterization (and acting) have come so far, it's a lot of fun too, if not particularly character-building.
