First scene in the the instant knew who it was. Thought 'these characters look similar and they didn't change artstyle oh wait it's those from the other series. I'm half excited half expecting the splicing to be a mess or handled well but still excited. Lead up to the film or not can't wait'.

Either way. For the sake of no spoilers (even though I really want to say it) I won't but was not expecting it at all especially for the first scene would have expected it for the final scene to tease but nope they had to do that to us manga readers that have read both main and Moto. Wink/hats off given indeed XD). Even the original/longer length of a continuous flow of things was really good for the play/culture fest prep stuff scene. Some funny moments there.

Don't remember the fishing one that way but turned out well this way. Love the callback to when he saved her from falling in. Know the scene forget the season (literally rewatched season 2 before episode of this season and already forgot).

Otherwise really impressed so far. Might be my favourite season and best use of original scenes I can think of right now even for the type of show it is and 3rd seasons have usually been either good or major downers. Glad this is in the higher camp of 3rd seasons.

Was kind of tripping major ballsack at the beginning scene before realizing oh, it's THAT. Man the whole scene kept me going HNNNGGGGGGG yes I think it was a great way to test for reception if whether or not the fans also wanted moto adapted; and I think the overwhelmingly clear answer is yes. Really loved how they tied in the green peppers again when we returned to takagi and nishikita.

Also looks like twitching takagi has finally been fixed in the op, yay!

The fishing scene and Nishikita starting to realize that he likes takagi-san, yeah. It's getting us all in the feels. Also, shots like this. Damn

See? Hopefully the "Moto" series will also be adapted with Chii's appearance in this episode. Can't wait for the movie story and a sequel (hopefully?) to the "Moto" series. Chii's voice actor (Miyamoto Yume) is pretty good too!

Mann, this anime always getting better and better in every episodes. In this season Nishikata seems like realized his feeling to Takagi and Takagi herself also showed her feeling bolder than before.

Wow this episode was a banger from start to finish. And ever since Episode 1 & 2 of this season or the final episode of Season 2, this has to be one of the best episodes this series has offered just yet.

Just like the last season, we had a rare glimpse of the future....woah that was wild. And of course, husband and wife talked about green peppers and how they didn't like them, ah you can make a family out of this. And the kokoro went ballistics when Nishikata kneeled to our queen...and her hugging him later when he was about to fall. Damn Yukari you were right, THEY are the perfect Romiyo and Juliette, if it wasn't for Sanae colluding the people's will.

I don't know where this series go from here. To think that this season already has 3 banging episodes, a far cry from the first season, I think where we are now is SPECIAL.

I'm not sure if it would be Prince vs NTR Man, but this turn of events was indeed fascinating. Seishun Butaouji-sama does not dream of princess. Hohoho, heeheehee, hahaha.

I can't believe my eyes for what I saw in the intro of this episode I think we know what that was, I thought this was another show that Nishikata likes to watch

I mean I saw it from a mile that Nishikata wouldn't get chosen to be the prince but my god Sanae is a savage changing the role for Kimura almost feels like Kimura took that personally

But that last scene was the best of it all that sudden pull from Takagi that went to a hug best of the episode in my opinion.

Very good episode.
It was very funny, I didn't expect it at the beginning, CHI APPEARED!!!, in the previous season Takagi was out as an adult, but now here she also appears with Chi. And the final part where they go fishing is very nice, Takagi comes to save Nishikata and well, Nishikata is thinking haha.
And now he is going to help him practice for the play, that scene where Nishikata auditioned, was precious. But then, SANAE!!!! WHAT DO YOU DO??!!! IT WAS FOR NISHIKATA!!!!

LOLZ Kimura's Fried Chicken cafe got denied! and bwahaha Takao knew his role is gonna be the evil wizard! bwahahah he didn't even need to start auditioning!
What a nice hug from Takagi! so sweet! what a blush from Nishikata!

Yukari really needs to find herself a boyfriend. Her romantic delusions have reached a whole new level with the play she and her friends have come up with.

You can read Moto for that.

Btw, we finally got some scenes from Moto manga, and i waited them since season 2, finally. And we have officially a seiyuu for Chii, even tho i didn't recognize her for now. Very nice

I was caught by surprise by the first scene of the episode and, seeing from the reaction here, i guess most of us reacted the same way, too. It was really cute with how Chi was acting all embarrassed. X3

The rest of the episode itself was golden, though. The auditions for the upcoming play should be amusing with Kimura being the princes of all things. However, my favourite part of the episode was when Takagi and Nishikata were fishing at the hidden pond and battling to see who would win between them.

Nishikata was unlucky to lose this one after his line snapped, but it was nice to see Takagi going as far as to hold onto to him to make sure he didn't end up in the pond himself. I can't blame him for acting all flustered and confused as to what he's truly feeling right now. =3

:3 Nice tease at the beginning! I think anyone who still had doubts about MOTO becoming cannon, should have none after this episode.

That prince confession scene was a critical hit for Takagi. There's still hope that Nishikata will have to play the prince after all.

The fishing scene was a crit for Nishikata though xD

At the end, Nishikata having to practice prince role (as a punishment) is the foreshadowing I'd say.

Easily the best episode this season so far. As others have said, the first 2 episodes had trippy bits (Nishikata's fever dream in episode 1 and the silent movie in episode 2) that weren't even in the manga and felt extremely out of place, bit this was some GOOD SHIT. I was hoping that we would get the fishing chapter animated, because that's a big moment of physical intimacy for them.

But the small, yet BIG thing this episode was Chi showing up. I'm not yet up to date with Moto, but I'm glad to see that she has a slightly different design (shorter, slightly lighter hair) and a different voice to Takagi. People who don't know about the existence of Moto, or haven't read the manga at all, must be HELLA confused, unless they were keen-eyed in seeing a certain someone reminiscing over an old middle school field trip photo back in season 2.

The best scents in this episode was the moment Takagi amazed by Nishikata auditioned for prince position and the time Takagi hugged him from behind in the lake.

I JUST LOVE THIS EPISODE...
THE SWEET VIBES IS 10/10...

That first part... ohhh.... it caught me off guard, didnt expect that one... Takagi's daughter having some appearance in this series....

My fave part is the Class drama presentation or i mean the selection of roles... OHHH I AM STARTING to be super excited when its Nishikata's turn to do that... ohhhh... (and it seems that class drama presentation will have a solo episode maybe and looking forward to that one)...

and also the Takagi hugging Nishikata... i am just smiling and on Squee mode when Takagi does that to NIshikata....

Next episode... im super ready...

I did not expect seeing Chii, damn now I want to see her animated. Maybe is a try to see if it works.
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

Because of the length of the first scene I was starting to wonder whether I'd got the right episode going...then we got a back shot of what I'm guessing is an older Takagi. Really teasing the destination while giving us a treat of a journey :3

Damnit Sanae! Yukari had basically rigged the play so that she could live her dream shipping of Nishikata and Takagi, and then you go and make Kimura the prince! Nishikata nearly had it though...Takagi had one of those increasingly common 'doki-doki' moments.

The final fishing scene was also nice and relaxing. Takagi going all out to stop Nishikata falling, and even with the rapid pull back afterwards, she regained her textbook composure. Looking forward to the upcoming rehearsal practice with Nishikata :3

I'm not sure whether I liked more Chi's cameo and seeing Takagi as an adult or that involuntary hug Takagi gave Nishikata to save him. If only he had been given that part as a prince...

Since they already showed chii I don't think it's a spoiler anymore so we can talk about her now right??

Well anyway, I really just love how she's the perfect combination of takagi and nishikata, like she got the personality of nishikata while having takagi-san looks

Okay I hate that girl ngl lmao, like those two are completely shipping takagi and nishikata..

They are showing a lot of future like last season and this season with chi, this gives me hope that, we will get it soon

this two at the beginning were not Takagi and Nishikata (new chars were introduced), they looked totally different, i surprised that any1 could take them as Takagi and Nishikata

girl was bit similar to Takagi but looked older but the guy looked nothing like Nishikata

i know, and i know who they are
i meant it as in... alternate universe where Takagi didn't meet Nishikata, and was instead teased by some random guy lol

Aww, they're really starting to give the game away here. For a moment, I thought it was a timeskip to their next year in middle school. I was starting to panic as I double checked the episode count.

That prince audition scene had me covering my face & blushing - this is getting too ridiculously adorable.

agree with people wanting more of that opening scene, i would watch too, something felt weird and understood what was going on a little too late.

Takagi, you cheated. Not all energy drinks are yellow, and i write by experience on the subject. Also, they're good. Like gyozas too, so i can't blame best girl Sanae. Even if... she accidentally destroyed Nishikata's wish to land the role of the prince. Nice moment during fishing too. Still, a cultural festival on the horizon is good news, and if it brings more "full" episodes will the full cast interacting with each other... great.
