This epsiode was like watching a JRPG with monster capture themes similar to Pokemon complete with HP bars, moves, etc. Not going to lie, the first half of this episode was very entertaining.

Speaking of games, we also got a crane game too. Feels like this anime has a thing for these type of games once every while.

Yeah, its completely possible for a Caterpie with Focus Sash to kick the asses of a team filled with shiny legendaries.

Also, is just me or did anyone else see that slight HxH reference?

Raidou(How I play Pokemon) vs Aharen (How I should play Pokemon).

Thinking objectively the arcade part, the time Raidou took to use the toilet is worrying.

Aharen and Raidou make a good pair, both thinking these outrageous situations, shocking someone enough to make fall from window.

Security in first place to clean.

That hug I felt in my heart.

At first I'm not sure if Aharen is a very good gamer or Raidou is just a very bad gamer, but from this episode Aharen is indeed a very good gamer (though Raidou might also be a very bad gamer too).

I must say, that Yankee/Punk/Godzilla/Trump not pokemon was funny looking. And that Aharen-san killing face will get memed to hell and back. As it should.

Hah, it's true that Pokémon Go! was a thing years ago, now it's a fad that some people are still playing to this day. And Aharen taking a jab at this makes for some good comedy.

All the monsters are clearly not-so-similar knock-offs to Pokémon, and it's interesting to see Raidou vs. Aharen's way of playing their style.

Heh, Futaba is back, and too bad for her that she hasn't got the crane game down that Aharen can do in one shot. Trying to win Akkun's heart with the monster plushie, try harder Futaba. And with that many crane game plushies, Raidou experiences a second inning of surrounding figures.

Yelp, Raidou putting on weight, and that scared the hell outta Aharen. So, gotta exercise and get back to normal. But when it comes to exams, he desperately needs help, and Aharen is his angel of saving grace. The library scene of going all Komi-like does add to the fun, and finding places to study...only the classroom works. When it comes to cleaning, Raidou definitely overthought about how Aharen handles her love for cleaning, she's very well apt into it.

Aharen's hug to Raidou is so nice to see, given that this is repayment for each other's troules and relying on each other. An 80th spot for Raidou, that's a massive improvement.

Nice reference to the author's previous manga/show Denki-gai no Honya-san at the ~15 minute mark.

When the show first dropped the art style was so similar, making me instantly realize it was Asato Mizu.

Futabas's POV lmao. There are truly 1000× ways to interpret an expressionless face like Aharen's. Raido's imagination went also wild again. Assassin x Aharen has spin-off potenial or at least enough for a cross over with you know what anime I'm talking about.


Aharen ain't playing when it comes to cleaning.

The hug was so fucking sweet that I almost couldn't handle it. Raido deserved it for many reasons. Who else would test a diet on himself first, that's the ultimate act of friendship xD


Another episode where every sketch delivered.

They literally used the FEAR strategy where you use a level one pokemon with a focus sash, endeavor and quick attack to close it off XD

The hug was an unexpected but like you said wholesome act. It got my heart pounding a little kinda like watching a good romance anime not gonna lie. Though this is a comedy series so they had to have that extra scene in the post credits XD

I agree. That was so wholesome. Did you watch the after credit scene by any chance? XD that mood chagne was so sudden but what can you expect from a comedy anime XD. (Also i understand your reference at the end with you "Nipah!" ;)

I just wanted to say that this was my favorite episode of this show so far, and probably episode of the week for me.
Pretty much every segment had me laughing several times, the pokemon thing, the crane game with the jealous little girl (that succubus shotacon Aharen! - probably the naughtiest bit of imagery we will see in this show), the dieting (Milluki Zoldyck?), the studying and the first bit of romance at the very end.
Once again, fantastic episode.

I agree that the scenes with Futaba and Aharen were really funny but one thing you have to ask is how did Futaba get that idea in her head in the first place... that was a little graphic for a grade schoolers imagination.

Good episode overall, as someone who likes Pokémon seeing the lvl 1 Rattata + focus sash + endeavor + quick attack reference was amazing. I think most people get nervous with exams so is easy identify with the protagonists in this situation. The hug at the end was cute, probably the first iteration of the "romantic" part of the show.

It's all good lol but yeah at least at the end Futaba was at least beginning to question Aharen sans motives so maybe she will come around to liking her eventually.

I hate seeing characters in anime that are misunderstood because i can relate to that personally.

Let's take a moment to appreciate fat Raidou. His voice sounds fatter, but his inner voice is the same as always, I like that kind of details.
Study groups really are helpful. Try them out.

And I wasn't expecting something THAT heartwarming. So poignantly wholesome. Loved this episode.

@Light_Yagami666 No offense, but if you're posting and posting for the Fantasy Anime League (FAL)'s sake, I would appreciate that you don't overdo it. And also when you quote, just click quote on multiple posts before submitting instead on clicking quote only once and submit. You did that for other anime as well, so I would appreciate if you can tone it down. It's not cool making a lot of posts just to get more discussion points for the anime.
-------------------------

Anyway, this is really a fun episode, what with Raidou's wild imaginations happening yet again haha, and a nice hug at the end for Aharen being finally able to help him even though it's not the first time.

I love how the manga chapters where very clearly written in 2017 based on the references (pokemon go being big the year prior for example).

Was very happy to see the study scene animated. Making the hug at the end both for the study session and the cleaning scene was a very good move.

losing my mind at Aharen using the FEAR strategy, and the way it was animated was incredible, too. Honestly, while the pop culture references do date when the manga was written, it gives it a real specificity that a lot of high school comedy anime lack. It feels more tangibly of our world.

also I love how Aharen just demolishes Raidou in every game they play.

Nice parody to Pokémon lol. Despite the level gap Aharen sure managed quite a victory by making use of the unique items within the game. Futaba sure knows when to strike early in order to achieve her romantic aims huh. Still even that will not work against the mistress of the crane game it seems. Despite her misconceptions its nice to see her realize the help that Aharen provided her. When studying hard for exams restaurants that offer free refills are always the best partners. After so long of being helped by Raido it must be comforting for Aharen of being able to help him this time. 80th place huh interesting. Curious at what Aharen got though.

Damn looks like i am not the only one whose thinking that family assassin was Zoldyck family. Kekw. Another hilarious overthinking from Raidou strike hard. The other one with pokemon also quite nice, even if i don't really understand the reference with the battle cause of my knowledge of the pokemon battle. I also hoping for tsun little girl to stop messing with King Aha even after she obviously giving a nice advice with the crane machine. Its not cool, y'know! And well, the last sequence too is worth mentioning. Aw they hug so tight. But well, don't forget to let him go, King Aha!
