Aqua: There is no way someone can imitate Ai, it's something you're born with
Akane: And I took that personally, Tee hee ✩
Hats off to the anime for elevating the scene to this extent, even the inflection was on-point. Almost like Manaka Iwami was becoming Rieri

Haven’t read the series… this scene blew me away, haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. The power of an elaborate and skillful “act.” Looking forward to Akane’s role in the story going forward
@RinSS_HI
This is the power of research. Not just on animation studio part, but also Akane's part.
A good researcher internalises knowledge they have been studying.
I'm so fucking hype about Akane-sensei approach on becoming Ai right now.
@RinSS_HI
Aqua forgot Ai WASNT born with it, there was a whole section of the first episode about how it was an act, and people online could recognize it was an act.
