Am I the only one who though RADWIMPS was about to play at the end of the episode? God d*mn it got me hype up! maybe it was just a reference and I can see this show doing that (I already love the monogatari references). It's that familiar guitar rift of radwimps.

Seeing a Kaguya confession would be a hundred-fold more exciting than seeing the President's confession.

Though, in the end of the day, all of that doesn't really matter. I hope they wouldn't have to separate due to his plans to study abroad... hopefully, she could just join him on an F-2 visa or something due to marriage.

Holy shit, is that a Shawshank Redemption reference and Your Name reference in the same episode?!
But man, Ishigami is just the best boy this season.
Also love how this season is dwelling deep into the psyches of these characters and the doomed lovers scenario with Kaguya and Miyuki

anyone know the OST @ 19:50? It sounds so good but Shazam isn't recognising


because it's not the song, it's a reference that sounds like the song. The song is Zenzenzen from the movie Kimi no nawa

The plot is thickening more with each episode and almost every character is close to a point of no return when it comes to their feelings and a respective confession.

I am so excited for the climax of it all, which doesn't seem far. Will Kaguya let her fear and pride aside and confess or will Shirogane have to take the lead? Also, will Ishigami be able to do the same thing as his peers? And what if someone confesses to Iino Miko, Chika and Hayasaka, respectively, which are the only main characters who don't seem to have a romantic interest?

It appears that the next few episodes are going to be a ride. To put it in Ousmane Dembélé's words:

gotta say at this point i think Ishigamis development is waaaaay ahead the rest of the characters, its so weird seeing as he barely appeared in season 1

also we ve got DBZ references, Rose of Versailles references an now we get Shawshank Redemption, keep em coming, im enjoying these
that aside im surprised that the final act starts this early, i was expecting it to hapen at least a couple of episodes later

oooh I can feel it, the climax of the story is coming up just as it was in the manga. I can't wait to see how they animate the confession scene.

Never ending plan to watch list...

The HYPE is REAL. At least three confessions are going to be made in the next few episodes!
Also, I enjoyed seeing Miyuki in the Hot Topic Drip too.

19:18 Shawshank Redemption reference! Anyway, that reminded me of my blunder back in high school. I didn't make any moves even after discovering that my crush still had no BF. Ah, one of the regrets in my life. Oh well...

Love the use of manga panels in this episode, just like they did in the movie that comes after this.

The end of this episode is so hype, it feels so promising, like they are assuring you that big things are over the horizon.

For some reason, creative direction for this episode was all over the place. Random background styles, filters, cuts and effects are being used in quick succession that it somehow ruined Kaguya’s “confession” for me by overdoing it. Well at least it looks artistic, I guess?

The Shawshank Redemption, Monogatari, and Your Name references were cool and all but those manga panels man *chefs kiss*. Their manga character designs really does hold a special place in my heart.


That being said, the Dual Confession Arc has begun! Can’t wait!
@TheBasedMaki I got the Ishigami Shawshank reference, but I'm going to have to watch again for Monogatari. That's one of my favorite anime so I'll be bummed if I don't find it. Maybe it was Kaguya driving in the car? If it's the This Starry Sky scene I'm going to freak out. In a good way. :)

OK, I found the Monogatari reference, back in season 2 on the "Kaguya Wants to be Confessed to" episode. The close up of that iconic cowlick channeling Koyomi Araragi. Love it!

I did not expect to see a Shawshank Redemption reference in this anime ...

Hilarious start with Kei finding the right outfit for Miyuki ^^
Also Kaguya finally acknowledged her love for Miyuki and wants to confess!

More buildup, and once again mostly satisfying except for Kei going way too far with harsh wardrobe judgement even when she had a point, and uninteresting glasses girl that added only just a "...WAIT, WHAT?" reaction moment and nothing more.

Kaguya pushing Ishigami to confess or at least do something is... well... "o kawaii koto" reversed against herself, also making Hayasaka very surprised. Even if, to be honest, it works, and the narrator had his probable best moment of the entire series when he broke the 4th wall lampshading what the show is about. Miyuki seems dead set on going overseas, not a fan of this at all.

Tsubame... the more i see her, the more i love her. She has such a halo effect on her that can mellow out even dark cold cynical bitter people as... me.

What I like about this episode was that it was so relatable to me, and not just me, but to most of the women who are too prideful to confess first.

I'd say go with the flow but before you and the person you love could be apart (probably for a long time,) confess your feelings! It's not a crime to confess your love. It shows bravery.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!
