Fantastic episode. I enjoyed every moment!

I'm glad finally we had an arc centered in Ishigod.
I always thought that Japanese people are very conservative so I could not imagine something like changing uniforms between boys and girls as an idea, specially in Shuchiin which is an elitist school.

When I was in HS, I had with my classmates the idea of changing uniforms between sexes as a joke, but we decided to not do it at the end. We realized that it would'nt be a shock, because changing uniforms with the girls would not have been a great difference. The uniforms were pretty much the same, except an skirt for the girls one.

They could have skipped the ED to extend the last part some more. It felt too abruptly cut...

Can we have a Bakaguya chapter before the season ends, pretty please?!

This episode was pretty boring, I didn't like it. That Tsubame, I've heard her name before, she’s a new important character, probably.

One of the best episodes of this series yet. So many good moments.

EHHHHHH *op theme* HHHHHHHH

The "I Need A Hero" music was SO GOOD

The peanuts reference was neat

The entire Iino dream segment was amazing

That "fight" scene

Ishigami's "This better not awaken something in me"

And above all else, the beginning of the Sports Festival Arc. One of my favorite arcs in the manga.



Fully agree with you. S2 EP 9 One of the funniest EPs in the entire run. Laughed almost constantly from OP to ED! Turned around and watched it a second time, and laughed even harder because I picked up more of the jokes that flew by really fast. The Peanuts reference was as stunning as it was startling.
And you know, the humor comes from real human stuff. I can identify with Lino fantasy life of misplaced conceptions, Kaguya's calming ritual which is a real thing in sports, and Ishigami's coming fascination with cross-dressing to become a normie. Love is War is one of the most brilliant and real observations of us, the Human Race.

Oops, she did it again! Iino always seem to appear at the wrong time XD lol

Shinomiya trolling Ishigami with makeup was funny and Shirogane being a little jealous while whatching what's going on... oh my! >w> Wasn't expecting that kind of reaction XD

Great episode as always!

Waaah Shirogane looked so earnest, hurt and confused by Kaguya taking distance, my kokoro is itai :(

Ishigami as a girl and playing doll with Kaguya was very cute x)

I'm still having a hard time warming up to Miko, but every times she enters the student council room it's hilarious x)

Am I watching a new episode of the monogatari series?!?!?! most of those things are very noticeable!

Were they? There was one episode which was sort of a tribute to Bakemonogatari EP 1 first segment , but this episode had none of that.


I don't think it is so much referencing the monogatari series (outside of the overt reference from a few episodes ago), but rather that this adaptation seems to be using the same type of artistic flair to express otherwise normal conversations that SHAFT used in adapting the monogatari series. Even the background score at times feels like it was lifted from the series. That may be one of the reasons why I like this season a lot better than the first.

While I don't claim to know any Japanese, I do wonder if there was a translation error with the team names in the third segment. While totally missable because of the less than stellar way Funimation displays subtitles, the middle one is translated to "We totally be best." Like I said, I don't claim to know Japanese, so I can't claim that they are wrong, but I know I can clearly make out the large "THE" in the middle of the name. Now, I could be mistaken as to which subtitled line refers to which name, but one would assume logically that the middle subtitle would correspond to the middle title. As well I don't know how english used in a Japanese sentence should appropriately be translated. However, it seems strange to me, and feels like a translation error. Am I wrong?

That Kaguya dance was an unexpected delight. And I might be mistaken, but a lot of those moves she did reminded me of Madonna's "Vogue" video. Am I the only one that thinks that?



Actually its a real reference to Vogue. In the anime, the artist is called ''Lady Donna", and this song is a padory of "Vogue".

The segment where Kaguya was going through different motions was gorgeous. Everything was so smooth and nicely timed with the music.

Iino's imagination was fun to watch as it had all the typical shounen/shojo tropes.

Favourite sequence was definitely the last one. Probably because Ishigami is my favourite from the main cast and also the fact that Kaguya was just being genuine without any mind games.

Things would be so much simpler if Kaguya truly were like that. At least Miko has a vivid imagination.

Kaguya's confrontation with Miyuki was amusing. So cute. Until she flung her love interest onto the floor...

It seems that Yuu has a knack for cross-dressing.

I usually never post in forums, BUT I LOVED THIS EPISODE. They experimented with so many artistic styles that were SO cool (Snoopy, Street Fighter, etc) and brought back the ICONIC Chika Dance from S1 but with Kaguya this time (BEST GIRL), and we even got to hear from Yu Ishigami (also arguably best girl lol). BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE TEA POT IS SIZZLING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE BOTH KAGUYA AND SHIROGANE HAVE REALIZED THEIR FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER.

If I remmember the gag of her being scarred and running away ends with the stuff from this episode but she really doesnt join the cast overall till after the next few episodes, this is partially why people probably say shes a slow burn cause she is kind of just a punchline for her first couple dozen chapters.

Hahqa.. Iino imaginations about her dreamy Student Council was extremely wild and hilariously exaggerated.in the end she misunderstanding student council even more with her false opinion about Kaguya XD.

After we get Chika dance on the prequel, now we got Kaguya's routine dance XD, the way she applied her routine was so hilarious and adorable, the "street fighter" theme that applied when she was getting approached by Miyuki was awesome, love the HP /MP/Skill bar, skill animation, and hilariousl announcer XD.

And Yeap Tsubame-Senpai somehow "cameo" appearance in Ishigami joining Cheerleading club XD, i think there'll be more proper introduction of her in the future episodes since it only has 3 episdoes left. Ishigami was feeling left out in that high sopirited club.

Finally more misunderstanding from Iino and Jealousy from Miyuki when Kaguya did the make up for crossdressing Ishigami LOL....

Well, well, Ishigami cross-dressing was unexpected. I thought it'll end up in a "almost everyone thinks I'm a girl now" type of joke, poor Iino. It truly is a matter of time until she gets corrupted.

Very good episode! It was bizarre, but positively bizarre and with many funny situations, mostly those about Iino and Ishigami. ;p

I liked the usage of many techniques to show various situations or to visualise the feelings of certain characters (especially Iino's delusions or Kaguya's regular thoughts). While previous episodes offered similar stuff, this one was clearly the best from technical point of view.
