| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- These noble characters are so well dressed even when outdoors for a little vacation. Catarina was paired with Mary and those are some pretty fast rowing skills. I find this episode pretty relaxing with the outdoor socialization segments. They even got a picnic set up and everyone enjoying their time together. RIP Catarina's food though. Maybe she should of guarded it better from being snatched by some wild bird. This is the type of I didn't know I wanted. Heh, fun stuff with the dance and piano music. Alan's got a lot of talent. |
 |
| Starting with Katarina who was trying to throw a snake, I was surprised she could throw a snake with an incredible shot. In addition, there is a flashback of Keith with Katarina, which shows that Keith who was once dubbed a monster and even Keith was crying. I like it when Keith tried to touch Katarina's cheek but without him realizing it turned out that Katarina woke up and Keith was surprised lol (sister and brother relationship was indeed adorable). Hearing her sister who was away with Gerald made Keith chase them and somehow the misunderstanding between them made them both go to the lake. Of course they did not have three of them, they were busy enjoying their summer vacation together at the beach. They were having fun at the lake, there was a boat fight proposed by Katarina but it was a pity she had to plunge into the lake and get soaked. They seemed to be enjoying a summer vacation, and at the end it seemed like Katarina was sleeping soundly, I wanted to know what she was dreaming of.....  |

| Time flies, we’re already halfway through this! Another Saturday means more of Bakarina’s adventures Keith’s cockblocking skills are top notch lol. A constant thorn in Geordo’s side The boat race was a good opportunity for everyone to come to terms with how they feel about Katarina, Nicol got some shine this episode which is nice. Sophia’s a great wingman for her brother Related very deeply to leaving writing that assignment on the last day, just did that the other day for a 20 page paper lol Another really good episode. Not much Maria this week tho :( |
 |
| lmao I like how they made it canon that Katarina has the most physical strength out of everyone (I mean after all that farming she should be). Fun episode that slows down the pacing to just 1 manga chapter (and bits of the 5th LN)! The studio really focuses on the wholesome & heartwarming moments the most, which isn't a bad thing considering that's the strength of LN/manga. And best boi Tom makes an appearance :) |
| I love how Mary is "DON'T REALIZE YOU LIKE HER, FOR GOD SAKE" with Alan and then you have Catarina dense as always saying "SHE LOVES HIM SO MUCH!!".. Sophia is trying to get Catarina and Nicole together, what a nice sister to have, that said, i don't think he has much of a chance. At least he is in a better position than Alan. |
| Bakarina is doing well clearing and steering away from her doom flags so far, I'm impressed! Summer vacation, and Catartina is stuck at home with Brother Keith thanks to her compulsive mom (wow, what a way to rub in stay-at-home orders). Lost it when her farming duties overtook her mom's inner thoughts, that was simply funny. And when fiancee Geordo brought Bakarina out, I'm legit surprised that she'd NEVER think of the situations/circumstances at hand, not that it mattered anyways (since she's aiming for her own subconscious harem). Friendship, not love, is her name of the game. A picnic and some fun that's reminiscent. Even Catarina's brain internals are given a hefty break, that's symbolic. Catarina spending window shopping time with the Ascarot siblings Sphia and Nicol...and an unexpected confession draws her charm...look out gurl, there's another potential! With Prince Alan's concert, no matter his fanbase, it's definitely a lovesong playing for someone in mind. And Mary...flames abound for your beloved (crush)! Surprised that the student council president showed up, but just as is with the game experience, it's a 50/50 chance. To end it all, summer homework...unfinished, very staple of seasonal vacations to forget it all and binge on the last few days. The most important bit, is her flashback of her memories of school life, the dream of THAT one HARD route, who is the protagonist of that route? |
 |
| Its nice to see how much Katarina's actions have changed both the opinions of her attendants and family as well as their own lives as a result of the opening of their hearts. Keith's abilities like Maria sure made his childhood a tough one. The visit to the lake that Geardo planned so hard for sure got ruined by Kats own plan. Still Katarina sure made things look easy in that boat race. The little talk while Kat was out chasing the gull showed well just how much effect her actions had in changing their lives. In the end looks like Katarina and friends had a pretty relaxing and fun summer vacation while also forgetting about their homework in true Kat fashion. Overall a pretty relaxing ep that did well in showing just how much Katarina's actions have changed the lives of her friends and family. |

| A series of short stories and they were hilarious af. Also damn I didn't think Mary was this serious about Katarina, lmao she's been making Alan doubt his love for Katarina for long now huh. I wonder what was forshadowed when Sophia said that she felt like she spent time with Katarina like this before too. Also the dream Katarina had at the end was definitely forshadowing something too. Maybe the president's route is a hidden route and it's the hardest to conquer. Well the summer vacation is over so back to school starting next episode. Looking forward to more fun stuff. |
 |
| Not finishing homework until the last day, that's totally me xD. Eventful summer vacation though, I must say. Mary keeping Alan preoccupied was hilarious. KANLen09 said: The most important bit, is her flashback of her memories of school life, the dream of THAT one HARD route, who is the protagonist of that route? I know right! Who is it?! Definitely a character outside the current circle. Maybe the President in that case... |

| The history of the game is good for her so far, pretty cool vacation episode she is going to have more trouble now I guess |
 |
| Oh wow so Mary really is the one who is the most active and on the offensive, not only she makes sure to benefit from every chance she has, she's been playing dirty with the mind tricks on Alan. |
| I think Idm how everything was cut up into segments, Makes for a faster and smooterh progression. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

Bakarina said before the council president is a secondary character in the game and she had not gave him attention so she doesn't know anything from him, suddenly it's getting some spotlight and he's not interested in no one. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Mhm... interesting they are adapting volume 5 in this episode. Quite a few of these stories were from volume 5 which is a mass collection of side stories from the web novel. |
 |
| @el_morris Good point. It’ll certainly be interesting to see how it’ll unfold next episode! |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni |
| Oh man I love Mary, she's been trying to limit her rivals lmao. Nicol's scene caught me off-guard, I didn't expect him to "confess" his feelings to Catarina that bluntly. Not to mention Catarina's misunderstandings are also on point as always on this episode too. |
 |
| Pretty tame episode. This was less continuing the plot and more so just a bunch of shorts. Still cute though. But dam that brown haired girl is a lot more invested than I thought XD. Im glad to see the yuri side of this isnt getting sidelined. I love this pure balance in the harem. Its the first time Ive seen a half half harem like this and it makes it all the better for it so its not just another disposable reverse harem anime for the pile. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Haha, so the point I made in episode 3 about Sophia and Acchan having the same voice (Inori Minase), was indeed important. Between what we saw (and heard) in that episode and this one, it is becoming more likely that Acchan has been reincarnated as Sophia, but unlike Catarina, she has not recovered the memories of her past life. Now, about Mary, holy crap that girl is thirsty af! lmao |
| This is really one of those special anime that comes out once maybe once every few years. The kind of anime that just makes you feel happy and blessed. The kind of anime that makes you feel that life is worth living. The kind of anime that makes you question your own cynicism and wonder if you can really believe in humanity again. The kind of anime that has you smiling from ear to ear throughout the entirety of the episode. The only other anime that has made me feel this way was Maid Dragon and it looks like we won't be seeing a continuation of that for a very, very long time. I have not read or heard anything about the original, but here are some of my thoughts, questions and speculations. (If anyone would like to address them in as a non-spoilery way as possible, that would be great): - I wonder if we're going to be able to get a satisfying conclusion. We only have 6 episodes left and I would hate to be left hanging or waiting for a second season. - Will Catarina actually realize that they all are infatuated with her? - Will anything bad happen? I really don't want anything bad to happen to these characters, but there needs to be some kind of conflict for resolution I assume. Perhaps they'll all work together and Catarina will finally have that realization that she's actually loved by everyone and that her actions have indeed made a difference. Hm... - Lastly, I assume Acchan is Sophia? I thought that would have been too obvious, but it was kinda spelled out in this episode. Regardless, are we going to see her come in this season? Or will we have to wait? |

There are hints in LN that she would have long time ago confessed or even tried to seduce her if she hadn’t considered Katarina completely straight. DarknessReality said: Pretty tame episode.

Its the first time Ive seen a half half harem like this and it makes it all the better for it so its not just another disposable reverse harem anime for the pile. This is done only for the reason that the show as a whole uses the harem only for parody and humor in general. When the title recalls that it is actually romance, only two people will remain in focus. |

| Catarina would be very much the stereotypical oblivious harem protagonist if she didn't have the excuse that she's familiar with the supposed story and therefore only sees herself as a hindrance to everyone else's loves with no such feelings possible for her... :D |
 |
| I'm kinda scared of Mary now. She's been actuvely trying to keep Alan ignorant of his feelings. Sophie on the other hand is trying to get her brother with Katarina. But I love this cast as a whole |
 |
| hmm so there is a hidden route. As much as I would want it to be the ending of the anime, it will probably be more people to conquer, right? wtf so Sophie has deja vu, as well? also, poor Geordo =D |
| Keith has mastered the art of c***blocking. I applaud him so much. Too bad Geordo AHAHAHA Also I THINK he almost kissed Katerina when she was napping under the tree. Sooooo close Keith, yet sooooo far, LOL. Mary being that aggressive scares me....though I do have to wonder what one of the conversations she has with Alan sounds like that keeps those seeds of doubt sown so well after so many years. Speaking of Alan, so cute that Katerina was still able to spur Alan's competitive spirit during the boat-rowing....I thought he had lost that once he grew up (at least....I didn't see it in the manga...) With such a light happy episode this week I have a feeling the next episode will/should be serious..... |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| Whats with the BD Special Episode ? |
| Boring episode overall, Bakarina being dense is getting repetitive too fast and the villain theme has no relevance at this point |
 |
| Did the episode hint that there might be a winner in romance? Maybe Nicol or student council prez? Wow pretty evil of Mary to have been fooling Alan all this time lol |
 |
| Every episode just makes me laugh. Makes me wonder what the end route is gonna be. |
| Good episode about holidays, she's doing great ! Nicol expresses his feelings for her, there will definitely be a fight between suiters soon |
 |
| Love that Mary is going to be the most aggressive out of all them and is willing to use any means necessary to monopolize Bakarina. The harem wars are well and truly underway. |
 |
| The lake visit happened a bit differently from the manga, but I'm not complaining! That view, Nicol and Katarina looked like they were kissing in the town. :o As always, the Bakarina council of platelets.. err.. I mean lolis are kawaii. ^^ Alan the tsundere, so good at playing the piano. Mary showing signs of yandere.... looking forward to next week!! :) |
| This was a nice fanservice episode. I guess I ship Catarina with Nicol after all. My heart skipped a beat at that scene where the two were alone together. Sophia ships them too, she is a girl of culture. By the way, why's Keith a supporting character in the anime page? So far he seemed more main than Geordo or any other male character. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Another adorable episode! I really liked the flashbacks. I srsly can’t wait till next weekend! |
 |
| A series of fun short stories were a lot of fun. Catarina and her denseness never ceases to amaze me. |
 |
| Loved this episode. Lots of short cute stories, foreshadowing, and back to male focus. I like how the story is taking turns with that. I can't wait for some chaos. |
 |
| Does anyone know what the song Alan played on the piano was? He says the title is "For You, My Dearest One", but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Was it an original created specifically for the anime? |

| Once again, the pacing felt a little hurried this episode, but that's probably just because it was more of a collection of shorts than anything. My jaw dropped when we got that dream sequence of the protagonist's previous life. This show never ceases to do that to me- either through humor or plot developments. It's possible the student council president's route is the hard one that was referenced, though honestly I was working under the assumption his route was DLC haha. Maybe I'm just too broken by modern video games. Interesting that Sophia feels like she might have memories of shopping with Catarina. I'd pay god money for an edit of the scene at the beach where all the characters are invited with the, "Everyone is here!" meme from Smash. |
 |
| I think they tried to cram a few chapters in this series but I enjoyed the episode overall. I haven't read the light novels so I'm not sure if they included anything from there but so far everything is canon. Damn Mary is on the attack! She glomped Bakarina on the boat and told Alan to basically piss off at his own recital! She even told Alan to dance with her while sporting a major frown on her face. Too bad they were all decently dressed, we couldn't see them in bikinis, especially Mary with all that plot. |
| 臭い- |
| Ok, I'm now really starting to see why people call her "Bakarina". She has no clue just how gigantic her own harem is. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| Looks like they’re finally addressing the other world with that nostalgic dream of Acchan! I have a theory that the girls Catarina is with are also from another world, especially with what Sophia said, “Somehow, I feel as if I spent time with you like this before, long ago.” That would be a nice twist! Looking forward to more other world revelations. |
| Keith's cockblocking skills along with Bakarina's obliviousness means Geordo has zero chance of having alone time with Katarina. On the other hand, we see Nicol confessing to Katarina so I assume there will be more confessions in later episodes. Not sure which one I prefer more (it's Maria), but I love the wholesomeness you get from this show. The secret character... I wonder who it is. It's someone Maria could conquer in the game, so I wonder who it is... also why do I feel like Katarina's friend in her original life, this 'Acchan' character also got reincarnated? Or was that already established in the story before? |

Or will we have to wait? Ooooooooooh Makes plenty sense if you say that acchan is Sophia. That would explain why she likes similar books as Catarina but is still above her in terms of knowledge. Wow, did not expect that subtle hint to be given here. Still, not confirmed so can't tell for sure but I think you might have nailed it. adbeaver said: Oh man I love Mary, she's been trying to limit her rivals lmao. Nicol's scene caught me off-guard, I didn't expect him to "confess" his feelings to Catarina that bluntly. Not to mention Catarina's misunderstandings are also on point as always on this episode too. Also this. I was also not expecting Nicol to confess but I'm pretty sure he meant something else. But sure did sound like a confession though. However, why is it being forgotten/ treated like it never happened? I hope there's more mention of this moment. Also Keith trying to kiss Catarina but failed lol. She woke up. Also Keith master cockblocking geordo again. He even acknowledges him to be so persistent. Haha. Also I'm sure Catarina is going to fall for the president. I mean, from her viewpoint, the main cast are just people from a game that she knows all about since she studied them for the game. But the president is strangely alluring by the fact that she knows nothing about him and would get to know him slowly and eventually fall in love. That is what I think at least and there are plenty of hints given already. But still, nothing can be said till its canon. So, let's hope for something new and different. but I've been thinking that if she really is acchan is Sophia, why is she rooting for her brother with Catarina? Did she get too caught up in the role? Also did she also get hit by a truck? Too many mysteries here. If you want to know what's happened in her previous life before she change to a villainess (Katarina Claes). next episode up to the second to the ending episode, the "Katarina's Unfinished Route Arc" will be started. If my guessed that you asking you're question; between episode 9 - 10 you will get the real answer about her past life...(if my guessed is correct)😅😅😅 |
 |
| a few more thoughts on the episode.. amazing how strong Katarina arm strength has become. I guess that powerup came from all that farming! surprised they even brought a change of clothes to the picnic. Were they expecting to get wet? poor Alan stuck with a girl who does not even care about him. |
