Episode 6 of KareKano was a 10/10
I adore how the episode starts off by saying that Arima is perfect, and then proceeds to show the differences between Yukino and Arima, and how they feel about each other and their relationship.
Yukino also thinks of Arima as someone who is perfect and handsome, whereas Arima thinks Yukino as someone who weird
but that eccentric side of her is what makes her so special, and what shows indication of growth. Something that is not present in him.
And because it is not present in him, he grows a complex and starts to wonder wether or not he is good enough for her
And then you have the moment where they’re all alone. A moment where Arima really starts to ponder on the question of wether or not he deserves her.

He thinks Yukino is someone who is special, but doesn’t see much in himself. He thinks he’s boring, & that Yukino deserves better.
Then, he realizes that Yukino is truly happy with him. He realizes that she wants to be him, and in turn he wants to be with here.
I just love how the first shot is dark, and Arima and Yukino are far from each other. And then once Arima comes to the realization that he wants to be with here, we are shown a shot of both of them together, and rather than being dark, it’s lit up
After they kiss, the show mentions how Arima has walls, can’t really talk to people, and is completely emotionless.
That is.. until he meets Yukino.

Having it so the show reveals just how much Yukino is going to impact him really makes previous scenes even more impactful as it gives much more context and makes it clear just how important Yukino is to Arima
I just really, really adore this episode because how much amazing characterization went into Arima and how much more personal and beautiful it made their relationship feel
