| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, Aoi knows her stuff about video games. Speaking of which, that game reminds me of Dragon Quest. This episode also had more of Mizusawa, which I think is interesting. His character is so different from Tomozaki. Aoi's wise mind is also enlightening when you think about how much she knows about games and being a general life coach. |

| It looks like Tomozaki is starting to get jealous of Mizusawa. Kuso game counter: 1, I think I’ve only heard it once in this episode. Anyway, the important part of this episode was how thicc Yuzu is.  |
 |
| Ofc the whole date with Hinami was just put in a 5 sec flashback, great. Tomozaki looked kinda cool with gelled hair, he should keep that hairstyle. Also woa he's jealous that Hinami might be going out with Takahiro. |
 |
| Those task are actually hard without proper knowledge within the city, it happened to me before and I don't know what to suggest or to control the group. |
 |
| Damn, Tomozaki looks jealous of Mizusawa. And I won't blame him. A shopping trip with some classmates doesn't seem too bad. Mizusawa seems like a nice guy, even to Tomozaki. Yuzu being cute again in this episode. Also, Tomozaki is opening up more and more with every episode. |
 |
| Why do I have the feeling that something might happen between Mizusawa and Tomozaki? Anyways, Tomozaki going out with some of his classmates shows that he is improving himself. And Izumi considers him as a friend. |
 |
| pretty nice episode, actually a pretty decent and way less cringe then last time. it was quite interesting seeing their interactions and social science when they went out to the mall together, i needa start taking some notes tbh. also, ace attorney reference??? |
| "It just has to sound good" Important lesson |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Tomozaki is lowkey jealous here and this episode is less cringe than earlier episodes. I'll give it 5/5. |
 |
| Alright, I think Yuzu might be my favorite. She's great. Pretty sure those were Ace Attorney references. |
 |
| Another great episode for one of the best shows of the season. Highlight of today’s ep: https://imgur.com/a/DfyWJ3d Again, we see Tomozaki’s communication and social awareness skills get better today. His conversations are so much more lively now than they were at episodes 1-2. He’s still awkward and they aren’t by any means fluid, but he’s making progress which is the purpose of the series. Remember that. It looks like he’s jealous of Mizusawa, so I’m interested to see how that plays out. May boil over into an argument. I like his new hair a lot too. |
 |
| I can't tell if Tomozaki is jealous our just thinking too hard. Well Tomozaki failed to give two suggestions however failure is the recipe to success. He learned that suggestions only need to sound good. Guess he'll better himself next time. |
 |
| The OP always puts a smile to my face, especially seeing Mimimi, she’s so cute! Also Mizusawa is really cute, cuter than Nakamura might I add. He seems like a rather nice & friendly guy too & is cool with Tomozaki. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Certainly discussing what you liked about a movie after watching it is the basics of basics in relationship dynamics. Its nice to see that as a result of overcoming so many trials that Tomozaki is able to have some friends within the class. Its amusing how suspicious Tomozaki's sister is of her brothers change though. Still the shopping trip sure proved to be an excellent opportunity for Tomozaki to improve his social skills with Izumi. Being the victim of a unexpected demo is unpleasant but at least the reward was worth it. Looks like there's some rivalry between Aoi and Minami here. |

| Glad to see Mizusawa was chill throughout that whole episode. Tomozaki being curious of the rumors that Hinami and Mizusawa are dating hmmm. I like how Fuuka's the only one at Tomozaki's side right after the Negotiation game. |
 |
| No Fuuka = sad. This episode was good but I need more Fuuka screentime :) |
 |
| So on this weeks episode we get characters choosing sides over the basis of thinking if you should get serious over a video game, tomozaki deciding if it’s okay to join a group that he was invited to, his little sister suggestively rubbing some grave tomatoes, some equally suggestive mug designs, more pervy low angle shots, tomozaki getting jealous that another dude knows about the cheese fetish of a girl that he’s not even dating, and of course that wonderfully childish OP that makes this show looks like it’s what a 10 year old would be watching. And with all that get another dose of pain. Dang it, last episode had shed some hope that this was going to be bearable but nope we are back to some good old, cringe. Actually no this episode wasn’t all bad- aoi telling tomozaki to suck it up already was pure gold. Still, not all hope is lost. I still have the faintest ray of hope that this show will prove itself in the end; I have faith that the pain will eventually subside |

| yes I love this anime, cuz I can get lessons for everyday of my life life and also I realize some small details in life and intend to fix them Thanks for broadcasting this show:) |
Mizusawa hot but Fuuka still the hottest. |

| So, Aoi gave Tomozaki 2 missions, but only ended up with 1 lousy one. |
| I felt like the tasks were kinda too harsh since Tomozaki didn't really know where they were going. Although it would be good that he learned from it. Tomozaki is getting better at life but looks like he's kinda jealous of Mizusawa, who is talking to Hinami a lot. Yuzu kinda thicc ngl LOL |
 |
Oh yeah, I think they cut Kikuchi and Tomozaki's conversation before he went on shopping with Hinami, Mizusawa and Izumi. |

| Not gonna lie, even I would find those tasks Hinami set up for Tomozaki difficult, she has a point though on that the suggestion doesn't need to be good, it's how you present it. Tomozaki is learning from it though, as he's learning about jealousy. So, I love me some of these angles... Izumi is thicc as hell  |

I still have the faintest ray of hope that this show will prove itself in the end; I have faith that the pain will eventually subside Aside from childish nitpicking, I think the real criticism that need to be addressed is how the production value have struggled, this is the first episode where Yano didn't directly supervise as 総作監, there's a noticeably drop in drawing consistency, but my main issue is definitely the music that more often than not don't really match with scene or overly exaggerated. But then again, the story alone is making it worth to watch. Also I'm not sure what you expect Tomozaki to prove to you, maybe elaborate a little bit so we LN readers can assure you that your irrational fear of its story falling flat is not true. Yeah I’m sure it gets good in the light novels, that’s great. But I’m going in blind and only have this airing anime to go off of, and so far it’s just a cringefest of this baby of a character. Production quality, it’s music and voice acting is all more than fine. It’s story gets the job done and is nothing to complain about. But it’s this guy not knowing how life works though, that makes it painful to watch. But it’s a fun kind of painful, making me curious enough to see how things turn out as they hopefully progress |

| Tomozaki moving up the social chain, at this rate he'll be a social media celebrity. Pretty cool episode, I guess this show focuses on girl at a time before switching to another, so that means Mimimi episode next :D. Tomozaki jealous? or just curious? let's see. |
 |
| This was a more chill episode and I thought it was pretty good. Hopefully we'll get more slice of life episodes over drama episodes later on |
 |
| A nice plot progression for our MC. He is getting better at quick judgements and ideas. It looks like the student council election will bring some further drama into the mix. |

Anyway, the important part of this episode was how thicc Yuzu is. They gotta stop with the camera angles like this 💀 This isn't the degenerate RAG Franchise |
| This episode is really solid. We get to see some improvement on Tomozaki, even though he fails his seemingly impossible task. Fuuka has a little screentime and doesn't even talk, am a little disappointed. And I know the hard time when you are going to decide whether you're joining a group or not, because it's hard to keep up with the conversation and usually just be a silent reader. Next eps please |

Looks like most of the light novel leaders also think they’re doing a good job adapting their favourite light novel. It’s just that in my HUMBLE opinion it’s been super cringe |

| Heh, another pretty solid episode, another instance of #relatable normie moments. Preparing for Nakamura's birthday, and Tomozaki is gaining his stance just as quick from Aoi's normie lessons. The banter between him and his sister though, I'd thought that it was speaking a lot more personally. Mizusawa (one of Nakamura's clique friends) speaking up for Tomozaki, and getting his screentime just as prevalent. Still though, Izumi can be quite finicky when it comes to her decisions, and Tomozaki's push-to-shove may be all she needs. The shopping trip of the foursome (Tomozaki, Aoi, Misuzawa, Izumi) is yet but another convergent task of courage for the otaku to come out of his shell. Still though, far from being a disappointing suggestion, trying to fake it with persuasion is the better option. A Student Council nomination battle between Aoi and Nanami? Interesting. Well this should hit hard, but it's very common: Suggestion acceptance =/= ACTUAL suggestion. Change yourself to fit the battle. |
 |
| Today we learn the power of swindling intrests! |
| Nakamura played the group like a fiddle. Tomozaki should up his game anytime soon now. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| i actually really liked this episode seeing how much hes grown so far has been nice also everyone was actually just good ol buddies , but the game of suggestions was rigged from the start Hiro and his persona was hard carrying due to many factors lol. only thing i question still is a lot of the times Aoi's lessons come off as kinda manipulative and shallow but Tomozaki-kun doesn't really have any knowledge or grounds to challenge them so i'm hoping that end goal is that he can go about doing this in a more genuine way like he wants |
 |
| Really decent show so far. Curious to see where things go. |
 |
| I hope that the next episode, Kikuchi gets more screen time |
 |
| Hinami taught us interesting things in this episode as well. I think Mizusawa and Hinami look good together, hopefully things progress in that direction, otherwise it's weird for her to push such a hard task on Tomozaki when she herself still didn't clear that mission. Still interested in where all this knowledge came from, or rather, for what purpose. Can we expect a geek middle school Hinami flashback who taught herself how to live? Is she a very observant introvert who is pushing herself to the max or is she an analytical extrovert who is making a study out of social interactions? Izumi is really nice but she likes Nakamura so Tomozaki should totally go with Kikuchi. |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |
| well that was boring...i also got a little bit sleepy... 3/5. |
