Oh so its time for the sports day hits them up, huh? And Mitsumi just talked honestly about her weakness there. That's actually pretty tough, girl! So the snake got justified on this one episode, and i see it doing in style but how i actually got a teary eyes after seeing the hardworks she struggle much before. Good to go, girl!

Then here i am thinking the focus would just goes to the ladies only, till Shima and the boys one got a little attention on the second session. Its must be hard for Mitsumi there, but wow she tough it up in the end. But once again the justification got a well done completed by how Egashima dealt with the situation and might be done for it for once and for all, with her whole new friendship along those people. Aside of what lies beyond her true honest feeling, or something like that. Good enough, good enough, at least for now...

I'm usually pretty ambivalent about redemption arcs but I'm really liking how Mika's is starting out and seeing how Mitsumi's magic is starting to work on her too haha

Murashige and Kurume's friendship is so precious, I love how quickly they became close even though they're total opposites.

Very sweet! ♥๏ธ This is a really solid show, and they really manage to make every character likable once you get to know them more.

Also this episode really made me nostalgic about the school tournaments we had when I was a kid, haha.

If there's one thing to highlight from this show, it's the characters that just feel so grounded in realism. We finally got to see what made Mika the way she is, and why she was constantly comparing herself to others. Many people in the real world are like her, that's for sure, and it's really not a bad thing. At least she made strides to improve herself, and that's all that matters. That's the moral of the story so far, how to deal and cope with difficult situations that we may find ourselves in. Mika will most certainly find more positivity in the world by hanging around Mitsumi, who I still enjoy watching so much, with her positive outlook on everything and everyone around her.

Although this episode was a bit less visually appealing than the previous few, it was still a great episode overall, and remains as the front runner for spring's AOTS for me.

I'm liking Mika's growth even more.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Sure it was about time to give someone a redemption kind of thing, because to be honest in a show where everyone is so likeable and doesn't really have a hobby of stirring up drama unnecessarily, at the very least up until now, people like Egashira stick out like a sore thumb, and not in a good way. So it's good they briefed about her past and whatnot, but she's still the same for me.

For anything else, we didn't miss the mark as usual.

Great introspective on Egashira. From L to W within an episode.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

How do these episodes get cuter and cuter with each one?? I absolutely love this anime! I'm glad Egashira had some character development, the interactions with Mitsumi were cute. I love how straightforward Mitsumi is but in a cute way. Sucks that Egashira had a rough time while growing up, but its nice to see different outlooks and ways to approach the same situation. I would've reacted like Egashira did if someone bumped into me and never thought about Mitsumi's perspective.

Mitsumi is that type of human who makes everyone around her better by simply being in their company. Our girl's about to have an epiphany. So close. Lol

Episode piece. I didn't really like Mika, but in this episode I came to relate to her. There were very "Haikyuu" moments. I hope little by little Mika will understand the relationship between them...

I'm glad I was on the minority list that liked Mika from the beginning, not despite her flaws, but because her flaws made her feel like a real character rather than just bow down to the main protag and concede. Hard achievers like her are a rare treat in anime, specially when they aren't in the foreground.

This episode made me warm up to Mika more, like I still don't like her attitude but she surely is a hardworking person and I admire people like that, she just needs to stop being jealous of others and value herself more, I get the feeling she will get there though.

opinion on egashira changed a bit but i still dont care for her too much. i think sousuke is a cute character but he still feels very distant from the plot. like all we have seen is that nice guy front, so im still pretty neutral on him. either way , great episode

What a reveal, never thought Mitsumi was so unathletic. Also nice to see the start of Egashira redeeming herself after noticing the positive thinking Mitsumi is the exact opposite of her.

This famous cool things with shima is really kind of forced to me, I don't understand why it must be made like that, why don't just build a Ordinary character that close to the mc girl and her friend rather then made something forced famous like this dude (well his face is kind of goofy and plain for me, in anime categories at least)

"Falling in love with someone kind of starts by wishing for things that you don't have. This is only a guess, but the things that Shima doesn't have...maybe a girl like her has them."

This episode has become my favorite so far!Maybe it's because I got a glimpse into Egashira's past and could empathize with her. I felt a connection to her as she searched for a place where she truly belongs. It seemed like Sosuke allowed her and Mitsumi some quality time together, and as a result, Egashira got to know Mitsumi better. Egashira may not come across as particularly nice, but she's honest and hardworking. I think it'd be cool if she let her true personality shine because I'm pretty sure Mitsumi considers her a friend. Plus, her personality kinda balances out the whole group.

In addition, this episode laid the foundation for the possible development of a relationship between Sosuke and Mitsumi, and even their friends picked up on it!

Do not get into Egashira's bad side and made the mental black list. Egashira is more amicable now that her efforts are recognized by Mitsumi.

Another feel good episode and the vibes are great for a high school trope.

I'm seriously loving this anime so much.
This episode was really cute in how everyone was helping each other!
This anime is really so therapeutic! Since it's able to tackle some everyday drama, but in a really light-hearted and realistic way, it makes you feel like your own problems are not impossible to solve. Honestly, this fact makes watching this anime so relaxing, especially watching after a really stressful or sad day, one episode of this anime, and my spirits are up once again! This anime deserves more recognition for that honestly!

Edit: Loved how they approached Egashira's character, it just shows everyone has their own demons in the past, and explains why she was like that in the 1st couple of episodes, and I'm happy to see her growth. I especially liked her reflection on how she remembered the names of the people that mistreated them, while Mitsumi remembers the names of the people that helped them or that she admired, it really makes you think too, that life can be seen with 2 lens, one more optimistic, and another more pessimistic or hateful, and you choose from which lens you want to see life. But honestly, Egashira's mental black list is so relatable xD

I'm glad Mitsumi gets to win Mika, and she no longer is that quiet bitch. She's now a friend. The supporting cast are great so far.

The basketball game though is pretty lame.
