Just finished season 1 and now I'm trying to figure out if I should watch s2. I definitely enjoyed the first season, and what I think is especially interesting is that the source material (manga) is actually finished as of some time last year. So that makes me wonder if season 2 might even be able to cover the whole series (depending on how many chapters season 1 covered, and also depending on if that's even a good idea, for what kind of pacing that might put on season 2. as well as whether the manga's author and/or the studio would want the anime to adapt the whole story). But I also read a little about the manga's ending, and it seems like some people weren't too happy about its conclusion. So I'm wondering if I even want to see the whole story. Season 1 ends like many harem series do, with all the girls making a pseudo-committal statement about their interest in the main guy, but I think this series has done a decent job in the way of progressing the relationships between futatou and each of the girls. So I was fine with that somewhat inconclusive ending but I'm trying to figure out if it's worth finishing the story, anime or manga.

This is her arc, but the moment hasnt happened yet.


I'm so excited for her moment. I disliked her so much before it and now she's probably my number 2

She was the least liked of the Nakanos and after this arc she became one of the two most popular with Miku, hopefully it wont dissapoint you.

"...but she's stupid". I love how Fuutarou genuinely described the girls.

As a person who read the manga, it was hard to watch the whole Kintarou part.

It's the 6th sister!

In all seriousness, I like the way they handled this, going the extra mile to try and keep it under wraps who her identity is, and even her voice actress. Although for the really determined, they can already easily find out just by reading the finished manga. Me personally, I'm in the anime-only watching camp, and will try to avoid spoilers if can. It's more fun that way.

I like how Nino is so sensitive towards her sisters!! And she knew Kintaro was Uesugi XD!!!

That track team captain is a shitty person. Free Yotsuba from her clutches Fuutaro!!!

I had plenty of insightful things I planned to say about this episode.

But now my mind is nothing but the Nisemonogatari toothbrushing scene.

Good episode, let's see if Futaro can get Yotsuba out of that track team.

Seems like the gig is up for Futaro too lol, but still going with Rena. Wonder wonder wonder who.

thank jesus that nino saw through that disguise. would've been lame storytelling to have her keep falling for that

but speaking of nino, i have no clue what that end scene was? two ninos?

and, again, no clue what the heck that boat scene was about. one of the quints clearly dressed up like that, itsuki? but the whole "i'm taking these photos. open this when you accept yourself" thing was a big "huh?" from me

I started having Nisemonogatari flashback when Ichika brushed Yotsuba's teeth. Good thing they didn't make it weird.

Nino already was starting to become my favorite character in season 1 (along with Ichika), but now I think her place is confirmed. For all messed up her actions can be, in the end I can't help but find her endearing. It's easy to understand where she's coming from and why she has such a hard time accepting what's going on with Fuutarou (though that still doesn't excuse her habit of poisoning him). She clearly isn't a bad person at heart and she has room to grow.

And about the ending, I'm quite interested to see what will happen with Yotsuba. I feel bad for her.

Oh and I almost forgot, but I really wonder who Rena truly is. It is pretty obvious she is one of the quints in disguise, but it doesn't explain who that is and finding that out would considerably change my view on one of them. And it could pretty much be anyone, except Nino.

Futaro's description of the quintuplets and how he concluded that they were all stupid was funny.

Hearing her voice I'm pretty sure it's Rena but they might just be using her VA.

I didn't expect Nino to suddenly start crying over Futaro's story. It was at least nice to see them having a somewhat friendly interaction for once.

Futaro pretending to Kintaro was always going to backfire but I didn't think she would drug him again...

I don't actually care too much for the Yotsuba drama. She should just learn to say no for once.

So much is going on and each scene is something you can't expect :)
I only didn't like that scene with the pink haired girl. I wonder which one of the five was it? If it was Nino and then she still thinks Kintaro is a real person then rotfl at her :D

So her name is Rena oh really? and she knows bits of details about him interesting

All that Nino talk is quite cute, And here we go again Kintarou is back, Yeah she's heads over heels for Kintarou, Short hair? oh so we're possibly getting a new look from Nino that might be gorgeous now that I think of it

God this woman is crazy well that thought in my head what if Kintarou is real that would be hilarious seeing Nino mistaking herself, I thought Miku was disguising herself as Nino to somehow talk to Fuutarou but she was breaking in well walking in casually I mean.

Fuutarou never learn a single damn thing when facing Nino through the love matters. Obviously sooner or later she found that out, lmao. But at least when they talked casual, they both could reach a wholesome criteria, while Nino sobing, and then peeking Fuutarou naked body, were some of the greatest dere moment for the tsundere girl. Ofc she just back being a brat again because why not, and ran away, not so long until Miku found her like nothing, lmao. But damn, Nino on that outfit, hot af, ngl.

Well, the same problem occured with Yotsuba. Ichika now handling her well, and the next may possibly clear the track team issue. Itsuki keep staying on Fuutarou's home, and even looks like already adapted well onto Fuutarou's family. But focus will always be with Nino, right?

Rena is obviously Ichika. She's good at acting and has wigs for any occasion.

I can't believe Nino still thinks Kintaro is a different person or is she in denial or just pretending? Hmm...

That toothbrush thing with Yotsuba made me remember that scene with Araragi and Karen. I feel like fapping to it right now. hehe

Futaro sincerely describing the quints' strengths and flaws to Rena before immediately calling every single one of them an idiot was hilarious. Speaking of, I genuinely thought Rena was a hallucination at first instead of apparently being a quint in disguise(?)

Man, Nino's whole thing of feeling like she's the only one who can't move on hit a little too close to home. Close friends slowly drifting apart really does happen, and even if it doesn't excuse her, uh, "tsundere-ness", I definitely resonate with her a lot more.

Also, why does Nino have to be so damn adorable only when she's with "Kintaro"? I'm gonna miss that side of her now that the truth's out.

I thought Rena was just an exhaustion-induced fantasy, so I'll be disappointed if it ends up just being a Quint in disguise or, Heaven forbid, an actual new character.

I don't like this season nearly as much as Season 1 so far. The drama was pretty convoluted already but it's trending toward overkill for me at this point.

Rena gotta be Itsuki in disguise. She knew the story, she had that little charm thing, and everything that was told on the boat didn't surprise her. EXCEPT there was that scene where someone stepped on a branch that overheard them when they walking too. So 🤷‍♀️

Finally the "Kintaro" act finished, it seemed already unrealistic enough from time before. What is up with Miku using the same hair accessories of Nino?

Feels like Rena is between Ichika or Itsuki cause those two smells godlike acting and the whole wigs thing. The tootbrush scene literally got me reminded of that tootbrush in Nisemonogatari lmaooo.

wow, Nino actually let Futaro in so he can clean himself after falling in the pond. Futaro also tells Nino about the mysterious girl he met, which was the girl in the photo he kept in his handbook. Her name is Rena and Futaro talks about his experience with tutoring the quintuplets, but has that thought of Nino saying he should have never came into their lives. Futaro thinks he hasn't changed, causing Rena to leave him behind and take away his photo, saying she won't see him again. Futaro tries to get out of the boat but his foot tilted the boat to one side, losing his balance. Nino actually sobbed to his story which I didn't expect. Futaro hitting Nino with that line "we already seen each other naked", so golden. She also tried to repair the papers she ripped up and expresses some regret for what she did, but still won't go home. I doubt she actually regrets everything, especially with how she actually drugged Futaro again in the end. She knew Futaro was disguised as Kintaro and just played along with it. I really thought Futaro was actually getting somewhere with disguising himself as Kintaro last season. All that effort to try and get Nino to go home again and see her sisters by playing as Kintaro was all in vain. I swear I want to slap Nino just like how Itsuki did, Nino is an actual terrible bitch. She also can't let go of how the other sisters grew and changed in their own ways, thinking how she got left behind. What happened to being five fifths, together as one? Nino probably threw that sentiment out of her mind.

Futaro trying to keep up with Yotsuba in track to ask her test questions was pretty funny, although he was getting quite tired and Yotsuba didn't want him to overdo himself. Futaro isn't giving up yet, he has some sort of plan to free Yotsuba with the help of Ichika and Itsuki. Ichika helping Yotsuba brush her teeth was funny, especially with Ichika telling her to say ahh. Yotsuba freaking out when Ichika knows about the underwear she wears was also funny, and Futaro heard it all over the phone. Miku actually found Nino, things are getting interesting for sure.
