Thanks! I'm glad I'm enjoying Revice, too. It's a thing that's never really in doubt for anymore -- I inevitably end up enjoying these shows, no matter what -- but I'm always curious in what specific way I enjoy these shows. Zero-One had a complexity to its view of partnership and support that I found refreshing; Saber was the most warmly bizarre workplace drama I'd ever seen; and Revice is doing some smart stuff about the push and pull of family connection. I like discovering what's special about these shows!

Terrific skit! Thanks so much!

More than that, though, I think it's really intersting way to get at the sacrifices someone makes when they become a parent; Vice is Ikki's abandoned ambition, and Vail is the part of Genta that maybe resents giving up his dreams to settle down. With both of them, it's about the struggle to be what you think the people you love want from you, maybe to the destruction of a part of yourself that was selfish in its desire for more. I think that aspect, the similarity between Vail/Genta and Vice/Ikki... I think that's a fun story to potentially tell?

See above! But, yeah, I like how it grounds the story way more than whatever nonsense Akaishi and Kamen Karizaki are up to. Genuinely interested in this show's storyline now!
