It's gone full circle
I really love how the 2D animation is done here The subtlety or the heaviness of the character's movements has to be clearly differentiated in an art that can be as sublime as rakugo. I hope before the season ends, we get a full uninterrupted performance by Akane.
Getting bored of this show? Here's Akane's last eye contact to grab your attention.

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.

That skit sounds like, and it's as hilarious as, Chatur's speech in 3 Idiots
I understand the teacher meant well, but yeah, she needed her horizons broadened. Looking forward to that rakugo competition and how Akane'll handle being around the master who expelled her father.
