EP. REVIEW: Rock is a Lady's Modesty

When Tina ultimately delivers her own inevitable profanity-laced psychotic meltdown (probably at Shiro), I wonder -- will she use her stuffed toy to do so?

So is Lilisa's father dead or what? Were we ever told what became of him?

Is it possible that the guitarist in the band that captured Shiro's attention as a munchkin was Lilisa's father? I don't think we've ever gotten a clear look at him, and his hair is much shorter (and a little darker?) than the guy in the video, but I just find it odd that we get a very clear shot of that guy's face when we never do of her father. For reasons I've never understood, anime rarely show people's faces in pictures or flashbacks unless there's a good reason or the timing is right to show them. Always a shadow or glare partially obscuring them.

I don't think we've been told explicitly what became of her dad. My assumption for the most part was that he died, but these last couple of weeks seeing the mom's extreme animosity to the electric guitar makes me think he abandoned them instead

My theory is that he died and left them with a ton of debts, or something like that. Would dovetail nicely with the class angle this show also has. And considering how the show has written its characters so far, I don't think it would dabble in simple "villains". They're both hurt and haven't been good at communicating that to each others.

Personally, I think it was divorce. I saw the type of papers used for serving on the table in one of the briefer flashbacks in episode 1, and that's all the tell I needed, well before Yuka showed her unlikable side in full force.

Ganache's frontwoman itching to feel up Tina swerves a bit too far into tired cliché territory.
