Pen15 - Season 1- Episode 3 Now

6/6 PEN15 isn’t a comedy with sad moments. It’s a drama wearing a silly middle-school disguise. “Ojichan” proves it.

This episode captures that specific middle school feeling — when your heart is breaking but you still have to pass a note in class and pretend everything’s fine. The raw phone call with her dad? The drawing of Ojichan as an anime hero? Yeah, I’m not okay. PEN15 - Season 1- Episode 3

Episode 3 of PEN15 (“Ojichan”) is the one where Maya’s inner world collides with real life. On the surface: she and Anna try to start an anime club to impress a boy (hi, Gabe 👋). Under the surface: Maya is grieving her grandfather (Ojichan) and doesn’t know how to say it. 6/6 PEN15 isn’t a comedy with sad moments

3/6 Anna trying SO hard to be supportive but accidentally being dismissive? That’s the messiness of 7th grade friendship. This episode captures that specific middle school feeling

2/6 The way Maya replays her dead grandfather’s voicemail — “Ojichan loves you” — is maybe the most devastating 10 seconds of TV that year.
