THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So Usagi finally became more relevant this season? First time I've seen her act so scared on screen. Well whatever, since the story is focusing a bit more on her though so it's natural that she gets some chemistry with Takeru.

I swear, Usagi wants to get "close" to Takeru
And her delusions. Seriously though, miss walking fan service this episode lol


That misunderstanding though..heh, this episode was like an mixture of awkward drama and comedy.

I wasn't expecting a fanservice at the last minute.
And that was worth it.
-----------
Wait. D-did they skip volume 3? what?
-----------
As usual, This episode's BGM still 5/5 and has a higher chance to be the best soundtrack of the season.

I'm pretty sure they rearranged Vol. 3 and 4 so that the 2 volumes with 3 episodes can be right after each other instead of having a "2 episode volume" in between (that 3 and 5 get 3 episodes is only my guess though, but it wouldn't make sense to change the order otherwise ;-))

Lost count in the number of cliche's this episode.
And again a arranged marriage with a shady figure...yawn.
Well let's hope next week will be better.

Lets hope they go back to volume 3 after all this is over. Skipping volume 3 will cause too much confusion later on due to missing a bunch of important information .

Hmmm...Usagi seems to be the focus this week and next. Seems she's got an evil stepmother and witch-possessed fiance. Well her fanservice was turned up to 11. I forgot she had such massive boobs, but the size fluctuated pretty wildly. They were enormous in the bath, but not nearly as big later on...yeah, I had my priorities straight. :D Anime logic: willing to bear a child to get out of an arranged marriage, but doesn't wanna "burden" her platoon to achieve the same goal in a childless manor.. :D

This possession witch has the potential to be a very obnoxious enemy/plot point. Do the previous host bodies die when the witch jumps ship? I'm hoping none of our girls get taken over and made temporary enemies or any other nonsense like that, that'd be garbage. Guess we'll see....

I loved the girls' reactions when they saw Usagi was naked in front of Takeru.

Did they seriously skip a volume? Fucking hell, as if this wasn't rushed enough without doing something so stupid. Oh, and all the cliches... seriously? We're doing arranged marriage, AGAIN? Terrible parent, AGAIN?

Also, please don't try to force me to care about a character who up to this point has barely been relevant and has always been a joke when she has been. Perhaps the rushing has something to do with it, but it just seems forced and cheap to do something like that.

I'll take this episode's fanservice scenes though; they were pretty much all I didn't have an issue with here.

Of course there's also an arranged marriage by asshole mom, check another one off for the cliche list on this show. Pretty much a fan-service episode.

And was that Saitama's VA playing that asshole childhood friend of usagi's? why they do dis ;(

It may be a cliche, but it happens irl.

Irl it wasn't (and probably still isn't) even "as*hole" this or that, but tradition, saving one's
family, expanding influence, and so on. It was (and probably still is), quite common among
(somewhat) powerful families.

I don't like that executive guy.... He is definitly evil or even abusive. That scene at the end there shows that he can change bodies? Man this guy...

Well I loved how ikaruga said, "Why didn't you invite me!" Lmao she is one of a kind. And that cosplay part at the end wasn't bad wish she dressed up too!

The last second (after the ending) is very, very interesting, it learns us a thing.

For the episode, there is fanservice, clichés... yep, a okayish episode.

I really like how Kusanagi is turning out more and more like a genuinely decent captain with leadership skills, unlike your average shy secretly perverted MC, but gets the shit beaten out of him regardless, because the girls are all rotten to the core.

I wonder though why we have neither seen nor heard anything from his little sister. There must be something going on with that.

I guess one's tolerance of the arranged marriage cliché is linearly correlated to the amount of Bollywood movies seen XD

... Wow, I never expected it for this show to fall so badly... no maybe I actually did, from the very first look as it felt like the classic harem advertisement of LN, but comon!

Was there really need to hint at another romantic potential heroine... it could very easily go without it and at least this episode would be bearable. With Othori, Witch girl, sword girl, bunny girl, mad scientist girl... it now doesn't even feel like a harem story. I feel like each new episode is adapting new heroine routes from VN where progress with other heroine from the previous route is forgotten!

What a protagonist of good heart, always willing to help the girls, who had great facial expressions in this episode, the focus this time will be Usagi, and how ever much information is dumped once in the episode, but I like this rapid development also, I certainly will read the LN further ahead ..

I don't understand why they switched volume 3 and 4 around. There was absolutely no need need for it. I was looking forward to Ikaruga's backstory. I just hope they haven't removed volume 3 altogether.

That's because the first 5 volumes are focused on the main characters. The reason they feel forgotten is because of the ridiculously fast pacing.

i still wouldve preferred ikaruga's volume to be adapted first....but it seems that volumes 3, 5-9 will all be 3 eps each, so im satisfied.

Usagi centered episode is nice since I was wondering if they would give us more info for the other people. As usual lots of cliches in this episode and a ton of fanservice but still I enjoyed it, I wonder how many episode we will have in this arc.

Another waste of time this episode, some elements are fine, but then the little that you can build is trivialized in a so fierce, how sad to see characters and beautiful character design thrown to the winds, also the Opening and Ending are beautiful, why not try to come up with something decent?

Yay for cliches! Because we can't have a harem LN without another guy who's trying to steal one of the girls, therefore making him bad. Don't forget the rape implications!

I don't mind the cliches. I read Nisekoi every week, I embrace cliche like it's my life.

I totally love the misunderstanding scene reaction

Mari: "You already have me..."
Ouka: "I never thought you'd stoop this low..."
Suginami: "Why didn't you invite me..."

Mari's line is the best... as expected from best girl. Ohh God... Neko Mari is totally cute.

I'm enjoying this so much more than Gakusen and Rakudai. Maybe because Mari is totally the best girl of the season.

An arc for Usagi, oh well we already had Mari, but that means Mari will have less screen time and Ouka will probably have the last arc.... x_x

Usagi's mom is a bitch...saying "I'm not your mom," but still going to force her into marriage. Like if you are not her mom, then you should take your hand off of her...god some kill her.
Usagi's childhood friend is being possessed or was he just plain evil...still don't like him one bit.
Lapis's facial expression is still the best...need more of her!
