Best episode of the season for me so far. I loved the references made. Take on me followed by Persona made the fanboy in me quite happy. Planet of the Apes was just the cherry on top.

Next weeks hour long special can't come soon enough. Can't wait to see how everything unfolds

The "Take On Me'" reference got me good, I thought at first that it was a little funny gag, but it didn't hit me until the end of the episode to realize just how well it coincides with Shirogane's current situation.

Exactly. I don't know if it was a coincidence or deliberate, but it sure had the message in the chorus.

It hits really different since the preparations for the cultural festival started. You know, you'll have this unexplained emotions wherein you would want to laugh so hard to the comedic parts but can't totally do it because of the tension as well. I mean it's also serious at some point. Which I could say why this is at its peak. I love this sensation made possible by the wonderful execution of A1 pictures.

Meanwhile, starting at 19:48, it feels like I was playing the very first RE released lmao. Kaguya running to the wall was nostalgic in the game.

Great, great, great stuff. Among all of the intricacies and pink ponies I mostly laughed about Iino's small failed affair. And of course the cliffhanger that dropped like a jump into abyss.

Fuck

Such a depressing news for Shinomiya after having such a blast with Kaicho. All that fun she had, all that luck she had was just to prepare her for what was going to come next. Man I have no idea how Kaguya's gonna handle this news, is she gonna get desperate and confess so that they can at least spend the remaining school year together or will she close her heart off and become ice princess again to avoid any more pain? And just one more episode left AAAAAAAA fuck.

Things aren't looking too bad for Yuu though, if I had to guess I think Tsubme's gonna decide on getting to know Yuu more, she more or less confirmed that it's not gonna be an outright rejection, good for Yu.

Kaguya's "ale? ale? ale?..." was so cute and equally hilarious. That whole part of Miyuki asking her out to check out events was just so good.

6/5 episode.

2 WORDS: PEAK FICTION

This adaptation man, it is just so creative, so full of passion, and detailed. Every second of it is smile-inducing. This part of the manga is absolute peak romcom, and adapted it is absolute peak anime.

Kaguya is just too cute and adorable, and hilarious, I can’t- I love her sm lmao
Shirogane is an absolute sigma chad🗿
Every char is amazing, and every moment with them is endearing.
The amount of creative references this season is awesome too lmao, the directing is god-tier, aswell as the animation. I really couldn’t imagine a better adaptation. A-1 have outdone themselves.

This episode did a nice job with the Take On Me and Resident Evil references. =)

Chika has gone into full detective mode and is focusing hard on catching the phantom thief. When the brave boy went to confess to her, the way she rejected him in a form of a quiz was rather amusing, but at least he took her rejection well. That, and how Miko had to be saved by Ishigami when she was hit on by two guys, happened when Kaguya and Tsubame were talking about what answer she wants to tell Ishigami after his move last week. I can only hope that Ishigami will be satisfied with her answer, regardless of the outcome.

After that, Miyuki asked Kaguya to hang out with him to enjoy the festival itself, which was rather cute and funny, especially with the visit to the fortune telling booth. However, after they both got back to the council room, Miyuki finally told Kaguya that after the end of his second year, he'll be leaving the school so he can study abroad at Stanford.

A perfect way to end the episode on a cliffhanger. I'm also glad that the final episode will be a double-length episode as well, so I highly look forward to seeing how things will go for everyone.

Wonderful episode!! The best of this season so far, and possibly one of Kaguya's best as well. Comedy hits, romance hits, and the drama definitely hits. Basically, it hits all the checkmarks. I'm so happy after the slightly disappointing episode 10. Feels like this went back to how the show should be.

10/10 episode.

That cliffhanger at the end GAHHHHHH

Yeah, well I guess it was to be expected, considering the fact that he is going to Stanford, as we saw earlier in the series. But I honestly forgot about that until I saw this episode, which was probably why they showed it to us in the first place.

And what a great episode this was! It looks like that Tsubame is going to accept Ishigami’s feelings, and how about that fortunetelling huh? 😁

So I heard that this last episode is going to be a one hour episode, is that true? That would explain why they say this season will be 13 episodes rather than 12.


yeah, next episode is going to be 1 hour with ads. It's basically two episodes smashed in one

Fully agreed!

Every episode has me laughing in delight, smiling throughout, and thinking nothing can possibly top this as AOTY.

And then each next one just keeps getting better.

It's astounding how much content they're able to fit into each episode, between all the gags, visual tricks, quick little scenes that establish and build on character dynamics, and keeping multiple storylines going that blend together seamlessly in the episode.

This really is god-tier level directing. This show's just a special, generational work.

OK that would explain why it still says 12, even know that I heard elsewhere that’s 13. Two episodes smashing the one to make a one hour special with ads, that clears it up. Looking forward to it next week!

Take on me reference followed straight by a persona reference. going strong right off the bat. with the Arsene part of the phantom thief, I'm getting a feeling it's also referencing Lupin.

It's a reference to the original one, which makes sense given Shuuchiin's ties to France. Edit: The music was directly referencing Detective Conan, a series where one of the recurring characters is also inspired by Arsène Lupin.

Man I love this episode, you can tell that this show is preparing for the climax, and seeing that it'll be an hour-long finale, I am buckled up!!!

First of all, Take on Me reference is fantastic, also I hope you didn't catch it...but there's also an AmongUs reference, it was a cheeky drawing in the whiteboard ngl. Then we have Chika and Miko getting confessions, the former just brushed it off like a sigma gamer that she is, and Miko almost fell from those sweet words but Ishigami went in for the save, could've been a good hangout though.

While Tsubame x Ishigami is possibly going to be real, Kaguya and Shirogane are having the date of their lives, after watching 3 seasons of this series, you just can't expect that you'll see these kind of scenes of them looking like lovers. Also Yume saying those f'ed up things for the both of them is wild, I almost crack some loud laughs.

But time is running out and so is this season of our beloved characters, all I need to say is ummm...🎈

oh what a cute coincidence! that Kaguya also hopes that Tsubame won't reject Ishigami's confession because it would be a hindrance for her confession to Shirogane!
haha Fujiwara's always gonna wreak havoc like always! - this script is gold!

that last part of this episode, Kaguya would totally be devastated about "that".

One of the best eps ever from the greatest rom-com of all time.

Amazing that they were able to give all the major characters some decent quality time, and advance the plot on so many fronts all at once. Even Hayasaka's 10 seconds made an impact.

Even though there's no doubt the final ep will have a happy ending no matter who confesses, the hype is still off the charts. That's just how amazing this show is.

I wonder if there will be more seasons. Although the focal point of the show (who confesses first) will be resolved, there's lots more manga material out there.

One of my favorite scenes was when Iino was about to break character and allow herself to be picked up by some random guys, Ishigami showed up for the save. As an Ishigami x Iino shipper, I wish for another season just to see how their relationship could develop.

So many references in this episode, and it's always welcome. One I've thought right away was Persona 5 vibes, and Resident Evil.

It sucks to know Shirogane is leaving Shujin Academi so soon but at least he could've put it on hold and let him finish the 3rd year. I wonder how Shinomiya is going to deal with this. She will have to do a hard decision and I can't wait to know her answer next episode >_< Not all hope is lost for Ishigami and I'm feeling that Koyasu is giving a good answer and say yes :3

Shinomiya's phrase reminded me on one thing and the song is already playing in my head XD
