An episode about mountain climbing? A bit of a random episode imo but at least it gives Teru a chance to be more confident and make new friends.

It was a pretty chill episode, at least compared to the previous two.

It's time to relax a little bit. Teru has definitely deserved a break after everything that have happened.

It was nice to see Lady Black in her casual clothes. Like Teru, I also didn't realize who she was, haha. I liked her backstory btw.

Teru learned more about herself by doing some calligraphy exercises. Lol at that tall girl.

Teru learned a lot about understanding people, wanting to improve her hero power's, and she bonded more with people and trying to come out of her shy and comfort zone.

It's nice to see that even the most mundane segments like mountain climbing could still feel meaningful, as it gave a chance for us to see Piltz's personality, seems like her healing powers don't just come in the form of her superpower, but just her actions in general. Calligraphy segment was fine as well, as it's a good way for Teru to focus her heart.

I like Lady Black story about her childhood, and the callygraphy club.

Spanish opinión:
Me gusta el pasado de Lady Black, y como fue superándose a pesar de tener piernas ortopédicas. También el club de caligrafía me parece interesante, en especial la chica alta y calmada. Espero verlos otra vez en la obra.

a more laid back episode but a really nice one because it manages to be relevant for the characters. I really like that reveal around Piltz, that she has prosthetic legs, it's a simple element that shows that there's more behind the character than just the Tsundere archetype. Also props to the anime that tries to make the prosthetic look like actual prosthetic because it's definitely not the case in the manga. The calligraphy part was also really nice

I really loved the Piltz segment. Hearing her backstory was both sad, but also empowering. She refused to let her condition get in the way of conquering her goals. I love that. Really makes you appreciate all you’re given in life when you see stuff like that.

The calligraphy segment may have seemed boring or slow, but it’s actually really important to Teru’s character. She’s got a lot of anxiety and worries, and being able to calm your heart and focus on the task at hand is massive as a hero.

Another really good episode, won’t have the hype of mid hero, but this is the best hero anime 🤷🏾‍♂️

God I could easily watch a entire slice of life anime with Teru as the mc. She’s such a enjoyable character and has become a personal favourite of mine in such a short time.

I’m curious to see how the story progresses. I’m so happy we’re getting 24 episodes. I’m loving this show way too much rn

Of the new shows this season, Shy is in my top 5. I’m really liking Teru and I’m enjoying her slow but steady development. Pliltz appearing in this episode and talking about her past was so important for Teru. I’m looking forward to seeing more of her.

Teru needs more exercise for more endurance as her job is a Hero. One of the most important factors of heroes need lots of physical activities.

This was a decent SoL episode with Lady Black helping out an old lady with back problems and Shy with exercising. At the end Shy learned that she needs more heart to help manifest her powers which I'm sure will come in handy down the road.

Another great episode!
I've got to see the first half for Lady Black's character development! I'm grateful to see her past, even a little. She's so dazzling with a cliché quote that's always misused from the Bible. Pilse is still gorgeous though, even with her legs like that. A bit sad to realise her predicament, but no one can stop her from fulfilling her dreams!
Then the 2nd half gave another inspiring development for Teru. Another inspiring growth for Shy. OwO

@TheBerserker That's a classic MAL for you.
The score isn't always as it seems.
Its integrity has been tarnished years ago.
But instead of complaining about the score.
Just enjoy the series. That's all.

P.S. Thank goodness there's no Yuri bait here. (now you know)

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Five episodes in, Koishikawa gets a uniform change. Which is a shame if you ask me, as I personally preferred her original outfit since it gave off a strong Tokiwadai school uniform cosplay vibe.

I'm just gonna say it straight: this episode doesn't advance the main story that much. Don't get me wrong, it has solid character work for its protagonist, but you could probably skip this episode and not miss much.

That doesn't mean that nothing happens in this episode, though. Teru gains a better understanding on how to control her powers and it's nice to see Pilse get some time in the spotlight.

It's been 5 episodes and I feel like Shy isn't firing on all cylinders. Yeah, I get that audiences needed a time to catch their breaths after that previous episode got a bit too intense, but sooner or later, the show will have push the story forward, lest the audience will lose interest.

As expected, Teru is still shy even not in her hero stoicness as she approaches Nagata Stationery's old lady Chihiro being alone from her late husband's passing, though the old lady can break her bones rather fast. The surprise being Lady Black a.k.a Plitz Dunant showing up at her house to check on her recovery...and at it, help Chihiro with her back pain as well. That said, mountain climbing on Mt. Tanpopo together, Teru wasn't expecting to join both Chihiro and Plitz being the shut-in that she is. Compared to Plitz that she does daily hiking, the challenge that Teru has to climb up to the summit on her own, she does with difficulty, though for Plitz, losing both of her legs and being replaced with prosthetics, it doesn't deter her from the mountainous challenges since that's her interest. Much compared to Teru's shyness, Plitz has her Tsundere personality to account for.

Back in school, Teru and Iko go through school like the usual while the former tries to control her fire powers, and one look at an intimidating girl whom Teru is intrigued by, the calligraphy club becomes a place where Teru is the kind of person who cannot say "no" and observes both the tall girl and boy. In retrospective, calligraphy represents Teru with quite the anomaly that it's her heart's calling, and it does give the effect that she's able to bring out her powers somehow.

A chill episode, but it's still progress for Teru regardless.

At home teru gets checked up by Piltz (nurse of black cross "lady black").| Together at a shop Piltz heals a elderly widowed shopkeeper's backpain whose teru has known since childhood.| Piltz drags teru along to hiking with the shopkeeper. at the summit the shopkeeper enjoys the view which she used to do with her husband, and piltz reveals to teru her prosthetic legs which was caused from a childhood mountain accident.|
At home teru has difficulty training to use her fire powers.| At school showing interest, teru is invited to a caligraphary club where the activities gives teru an idea on how to channel her powers; through passionately calligraphing at home she successfully draws out her fire powers using her heart.

Pretty boring episode, the tsundere *cough cough* piltz was the most interesting part.
