Dealing with nerves...

That's love chemistry in a nutshell. Oxytocin really is an interesting concept, in the scientific sense. Damn, the amount of chemistry in this episode really is something. Suiu's desire for scientific research really has no bounds.

Heh, Kosuke and Ibarada having their own Smash Bros. moment, while Yukimura, Himuro and Kanade face their romantic battles against Suiu and Chris through the relentless oxytocin experiments to prove their romantic "love" research.

Chris gives Yukimura a punch to the gut for his behaviour, and the ladies manage to queer it down with Himuro protecting Yukimura. That undoubtedly lit a fire in his heart, but the refusal and rebuttal to proclaim love for Himuro only leads them both towards a downward spiral of theories abound to fit into a theory.

Though all odds, Yukimura found a way to validate his experiment: Helen Fisher's Personality Test - The Anatomy Of Love (which is a real experiment), fueled through norepinephrine (or in easier terms: adrenaline), that can define a person's love depending on the neurosis of their thought processes about their partners, that still involves oxytocin and many others. That is not wrong if given a choice to accept the lowest of results to take shape of the heart.

The ED in its entirety is so much better than Sora Amamiya's OPs, maybe even better than Season 1's because it's CHiCO with HoneyWorks and Mafumafu, couldn't have asked for a great ED song.

All I'm asking for is for Ibarada and Yosuke to get together by the end of the season.

Yukimura was able to prove that just because He and Himuro produce low oxtycin doesn't mean they don't love each other. They are still in the romantic phase and they haven't started dating yet. Also Ibahara-san and Kosuke are starting to get more comfortable doing more things together.

RIP to this show; that it has to air alongside Kaguya-sama is truly unfortunate

As usual, that was an amusingly illustrative explanation for oxytocin levels. I still believe that yuri triangle action > attachment phase

Although the main objective of anime is entertainment, I love when one appears that brings something more.

The theoretical load of this chapter was something that in my particular case I really enjoyed a lot (although the experiments are not 100% real, but they are more fun that way haha).

It is also a small reflection for those of us who do research, that numbers are nothing if we do not fully understand their context. Also subjective meanings are very important in topics like love, but well... let's hope that Himuro and Yukimura understand it soon ^^

In each chapter Yukimura is more explicit in saying that he loves Himuro!... although he needs to be even more direct xD

Ibarada and Kosuke's approach was also very adorable.


Be more honest with yourself! x)

Nice to see Ena and Kosuke again. Himuro cheating on Yukimura with Kanade lol. Sui is someone that uses every advantage she has from the get go huh. But man being addicted to beer sure is a scary thought. Despite the odds being arrayed against him its nice to see Yukimura kick Chris off his high horse. It was a tough challenge but in the end being able to work with Chris and Sui proved to be a most enlightening of experiences for the team. Really liked the ending theme though its real catchy. Ena and Kosuke are the perfect examples of that theory.

Yukimura is so in loved with himuro that he came with a theory of a guy to explain why their oxitocine is so low. They are so cute together.


In other hand after this episode i want himuro, kanada and fujiwara to make a yuri :) ahhaahahha

Nice episode, so after some more trials like hugging best girl Kanade or going the yuri route (I like that one lol) Yukimura finally manages to debunk the Oxytocin stuff after he finds a new theory that proves he and Himuro could be in love, I really like how this show can make explanations like that entertaining lol, that paired with the DBZ references was pretty fun. I also really liked that final bit between Kosuke and Ibarada, smash bros is the perfect game to strike romance lol, and I also really missed seeing those two.

And we got ED visuals this week, definitely love the synced up singing with the characters, and the song is great for sure.

As a person who is greatly interested on how love works, this type of anime really helps me realized and understand few things. Seeing Yukimura proudly proving that his love for Himuro is real is amazing to watch, maybe it's awkward but he proved their love successfully.

This episode is also great! They are funny as usual talking about oxytocin and other scientific things that I don't, lol. Well, as I can see it is still great and fun to watch and of course, the animations are well created as well as voice acting. I hope next episode will be great as the previous episodes.

Pulling an all-nighter just to counter the oxytocin data by proposing a new theory... Dude, your feelings for Ayame is being too obvious already. But it's a good thing and a progress compared from the denial stage during s1. This is getting even more interesting and fun. Really can't get enough of this Yukimura x Himuro couple, they're so cute even though my head hurts from them sometimes lol.

The theory they have presented here is what i can say relate to the reality...

those that are starting to be lovers are what you call in a ROMANCE STAGE... the ones of dates etc..., but if you have been able to be for so many years together, its the ATTACHMENT PHASE, and usually that is the stage where many lovers are wishing they can be with...

LOVE THIS ONE

I found the first season to be quite a good mix of funny and cringe. However, this second season feels like it's just pure cringe. Like, how far can they milk this premise? It's as dry as Sahara...

The yuri part was probably the best "good ending" for this show xD jk, but sure no matter what you want to prove with the low oxytocin results, they're definitely in love

Let me guess. Is the super obvious reason the other couple has higher oxytocin levels because they've been dating for four years, like I mentioned in my review last week?!

I guess it didn't take a genius to figure that one out after all, Yukimura.

I just love how Yukimura last season only wanted to figure out if what they feel for each other was truly love, and now he's trying to justify that it truly is (still) love despite their high differences of oxytocin levels. He's low key acknowledging his feelings for Himuro. If that is not development then I don't know what is.

Did not really dig this arc much.. The new characters are.. fine? I guess? Hope they get into slightly more interesting arcs now :) I really liked the end of last season so I hope they grasp a bit more excitement from that type of arc in the next arc!

So that's why their levels were low, makes sense and I couldn't care less. This is becoming a farce.

The post credit scene with Ena was sweet. I liked it more than the entire episode.

i really don't like fujiwara
maybe this is some disconnect culturally but i could never be with a woman who even pretends to be a whore
she literally said she loves pretending to be a courtesan. that sort of woman can never be trusted and it's sickening to watch.

yeah i made an argument about this in the last episode's thread. basically i think it's a really dumb measure.

btw bear is stupid. it's called norepinephrine to distinguish itself from epinephrine. one works on the heart, the other on vascular response. calling it adrenaline would be confusing and stupid. so for the first time, fuck you bear. epinephrine is known as "adrenaline". not norepinephrine. there is a distinguishing factor here and bear is just utterly dumb here. also i literally said check serotonin before they said it. this whole experiment was bad from the start but it's nice to see them adapting. it's cute and fun to watch for sure, but it's not nice to lead viewers on with incomplete science.

It seems like this season is going to focus more on the romance and drama aspects rather than try for as much humor.

The quest to test their love continues. Yukimura and Himuro not content to lose to the other couple Suiu and Chris in the oxytocin level. In the meantime, Ibarada and Inukai got closer through the console game.

Research feels like in warfare. Yukimura should come with conclusion sooner. Himuro can't wait any longer.
