Ooh a busy day for Vanilla and Chocola. I mean, training together and taking these lessons from an instructor...

A lot of cat gags though. Not surprising considering how our main characters are all cat girls. Very cute episode as usual.

An exam which had Chocolate and Vanilla in a bind tho it was funny to watch how they where preparing for it.
The girls having fun with Shigure afterwards was also nice.
Tho the best Shigure moment was when she got angry at Coconut for ruining the doors.

Fun episode with Chocola and Vanilla training to renew their bells. Interesting concept for this world where the nekos can go out on their on and all that just after taking an exam that's probably sort of like a driving test but with nekos. Cacao was the mvp of this episode really. She outshined even Vanilla in some areas of their training. Happy the two of them realized they needed come help and went to the elder nekos for advice. Which turned out to just be chores, made me laugh a good bit once they realized what it was.

Got down to the real training didn't go the best either since all their sensei's couldn't fair much better. Cinnamon going lewd as possible speaking about pistils and stamens again. Coconut poking all those holes in the paper door. Maple getting stuck herself, great moves by Cacao again. Despite the nerves of course they passed and got their bells renewed. Going to all those cafes to learn how to improve their own was a very mature decision by Chocola.

So the cats have to renew their bells every time. That's interesting.

It was funny seeing the cats acting like sensei. Cinnamon being perverted as usual.

Cacao with those moves.

That part was utterly repulsive. No one wanted to see Cinnamon disguised a pedophile kidnapper, what is cute or fun about that? She is a pervert, not a criminal damn it. Besides, It makes no sense to see a catgirl wearing glasses. What kind of witchcraft is that?

Damn these discussion threads have died out since the first ep..

Cinnamon would be a great sex ed teacher lol. I was pretty worried for Chocla there for a while, luckily she pulled it off and gets to keep her bell thanks to lessons from Maple and Cinnamon sensei.

I think this is such a relaxing show to end your week with, very therapeutic and it accomplishes its goals of having cute cats doing cute shit, so for me the low MAL score seems a bit off..

You're kidding right? If you're referring to Kashou he barely had any presence on this episode... or on any of the others. Ever since the first scene, he's been nothing but just another bug on the wall.

That would be your opinion and you do have your reasons, but in the end Nekopara is an anime that disappointed most of the VN's followers and didn't quite manage to convince the audience in comparison to a lot of other animes of the season. Cute and therapeutic yes, so are the games, with or without +18 patch.

Don't you get tired of getting the same sick joke on every episode? In this anime Cinnamon is treated as nothing but a laughing stock except for when she starts slapping people. That's what I'm on about, sorry if it made you feel alluded.

It's a miracle that Chocola passed that bell renewal test! This episode had some funny scenes, I liked the cucumber scene the best!

Love the progress Cacao is making, sometimes she has adapted better into human society than Chocola.

The Bell Renewal for cats...it's time overdue for Chocola and Vanilla for test checks. Even in the real world, this is true too for owner certifications and whatnot. Hah, Choco adapts better than Chocola, which is quite a joke onto itself.

With that, the other felines help out the both of them to get ready for their tests...as a joke initially, but that aside, the "manual book of secrets" to help them. The cucumber joke though rubs it in hard.

And when it comes to Cinnamon...
MrAwesome2018 said:

Whew haha wut...
And then her laughing stock jokes that doesn't make any sense other than to exaggerate her pervertic behaviours.

Of all, I'd say that Azuki and Maple taught them some real work other than Nuts and Cinnamon ravaging their feline personalities. And of course, Cacao's fast and agile cats-manship. Against all odds, they passed (without a hitch of thought).

Time for post-test celebrations, but they'd still have to be mindful of their behaviours. A good rest day out.

Sweet, sweet lord of an episode.

Cute episode specially when the young kitten jumps to the top of the house to simulate saving the other cat.

Also bit funny when she is eating just the fish from the sushi instead of taking the whole plate.

Also when the horny cat is giving lessons on the flowers and she said, I still havent got wet. Which I guess is her line, but still funny how she manage to drop it.

Also the little sister seemed to be more back to normal since the other episode when she was so depressed. I think this is a lamer episode than the ones before but it wasnt horrible.

Coconut going crazy making holes in the wall was hilarious. Dat ass tho ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Cinnamon is just the best.

Maple-sensei makes me feel things <3. Poor Maple tho xD.

Chocola is so dumb. I love her.

The tease... Oh my.

The whole training was fun.

So well, as in Vol.1 and against all odds, Chocola once again managed to pass her bell exam at first try.

I read somewhere before watching that the endcard was "loli cat on cat action" and when I see Henreader I go "of course".

Also is the cat being presented on T.V. as Bob one of those legendary male cats?

Chill out, Cinnamon. You're too horny! XD

Either way, it was pretty fun watching how Chocola and Vanilla made their preparations for taking the bell examination by having the other cat girls teach them some tips. Some were successful, while others failed with their lessons rather amusingly.

For me, Cacao made the quickest progress out of anyone else in this episode. Her manners are improving, she's super athletic and she was able to conquer her fear of water by doing a dive bomb into the bath. Her blushing face after receiving praise was adorable, though. =3

If it's making a reference to the real-life story "A Streetcat Named Bob", then I think so. At least, that's what I thought.

"You would think"? I don't know, man - Vanilla openly display affection for Chocola (less so from Chocola, but it's still there).

LOL, Chocolat mindbreaked when she learned she have to take the Bell test again.

Then afterwards got swindled into doing chores.

___ ___ ___

And apparently they're all afraid of cucumbers... hmmm.... I wonder what's the reason...


HAHAHAHA Cinnamon... what TF are you doing? (I'll take the delicious snack tho)


And Cacao pretty much mastered self-control, she's a lot better than Chocolat. They should let Cacao take the exam too.

Also, it was interesting seeing the Nekos all dressed up in Office Ladies teaching stuff.

___ ___ ___

Tho.... I am really curious what sort of exam they're taking... is it a written test or a physical test? (cause they obviously took the test inside a building... so all the outdoor activities they were doing doesn't really apply unless it's just written)

___ ___ ___

And they sure ate a lot of Sushi... if that was in US, it would cost about 1~5 USD per plate... (so they ate about 3 stacks of 10 plates, which is 30~150 USD worth of sushies)

Also the part where Chocola took only the sashimi instead of the plate is an ultimate bruh moment.

I also like the concept of a bell test in order to let nekos blend into society. (*ノ∀`*)

a little late in watching because of lockdown from virus.

clumsy Chocola is kawaii. As expected, Cinnamon's lessons are ecchi. :p

had a good laugh when Vanilla dropped the vegetable the other neko.

looks like Cacao would be a very good cat when she grows up.

In Asia you often see videos of cats jumping when cucumbers are placed behind them. I think the reason is they mistake them for snakes so they react instinctively.

Oh, so it isn't necessarily the cucumber that scares them but the fact of finding something suddenly placed near them without the cat noticing.

Interesting, interesting.

Azuki, Maple, Cinnamon, and Cocount got Chocola and Vanilla to do their chores under the pretense of helping them train.
In other words, they used the original Karate Kid approach.
