Oh, this is a great episode. I'm confident this is a hidden gem of the season.

It's clear to me that this show will keep a shounen-ish pace, which kinda reminds me of the early episodes of Chihayafuru S1. I don't mind. Akane and Chihaya have very similar temperaments. Kyoji is a great teacher. The episode makes me think of the car-wash scene in Karate Kid.

Art style, character design, and general animation continue to be great.

Akane did very well with using her rakugo skills to bridge the language gap and get the point of the lesson across. As shown at the beginning, Akane know just enough to be dangerous and have a simplistic "do this and you're an expert" outlook. I've been like that before, too.

Notes:

All Rakugoka of the Arakawa lineage adopt show-names with the "Arakawa" surname. There's a family dynamic going on, as evidence by Kyoji calling Akane an "imouto" (little sister) instead of kouhai.
Crossing generations, a rakugoka can use their master's name with a generation marker. In Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, Yakumo is in Generation VIII (hachidaime)
