Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai • Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night - Episode 12 discussion

I was hoping for more gay, but I'm still happy

This was a surprisingly good show. I guess the only things I can really say that disappointed me about the ending though are:

• It felt kind of rushed. This could have used like one or two more episodes. Like there were 3 parts shoved into one episode: Whatever happened between Mahiro’s meeting and the concert, the concert, then the epilogue. So we kind of had to skip a lot of stuff to fit it all in one episode. Did they not talk between the meeting and the concert? Was their relationship just in suspended animation until they met after the concert?
• I’m surprised they never addressed the kiss. I don’t know where I’d expect that to go, but it’s weird that they just never talked about it again and just left it as a tease for the audience. Idk, it’s not the biggest deal. They still had an interpersonal emotional arc independent of any yuri bait. But why include that at all if it wasn’t even going to affect their relationship in the slightest?

But setting all that aside, great show even within a pretty packed season. Fun characters with relatable problems and a story that kept a good pace at least until the last episode.

I enjoyed this show, it was cool to see everyone overcome their fears and be happy with themselves and, in the end, we got a satisfying ending.

Goodbye JELEE, and thank you for all your amazing songs and great moments you gave us 💙

Good anime, meh ending. I would've liked to see more of Kano's rekindling with her mum and Mero, especially her mum.

I liked the first half of the show a lot more than the latter. The direction it took towards the end took out all the originality of the early episodes and turned it into just generic idol drama.
