Then let me just say I truly, sincerely appreciate hearing that.

A clear example that came to mind at the end of this episode for me was Jun -- he has a whole mini speech about hanging onto his title and feeling obligated to seeing what becomes of the company; which of course creates a clear contrast to Aruto casting titles aside and going off to build something new. Wouldn't it have been awesome for those ideals to have been showcased in a previous episode, and for it to have a great payoff here?

I didn't end up mentioning it, but yeah, that's another moment that jumped out at me as a great scene that could've been made even better with more weight behind it. We're over halfway through the series, and I've just barely starting remembering his name is Fukuzoe. It still took me a second to figure out who Jun is.

I honestly feel so bad for his character because it really does seem like he has a lot of potential to do more than merely alternating between occasional comic relief and a generalized dissenting voice to Aruto. Both of which are roles other characters starting filling rather quickly. There's still plenty of the series left to get to fixing that, I suppose.
