| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hello Akihabara~ Well this was fun. I mean, to see them visit Akihabara is like going to a cultural world with anime themes. Not surprised how all the characters got excited by their experience there. I'm also starting to like Kai more. He is the man of the episode tbh. Nice to see the anime club staying! |

| So the first crisis was averted and they managed to form their club but it seems someone is forced to watch a lot of anime now. It was a funny episode as well especially in the store with the cards. |
| The characters really make this show work. Pleasantly surprised by the enjoyment I'm getting out of this. |
| Everyone had a nice time at Akihabara, especially Minoa. She was amazed by it. Kai is the MVP for this episode. He gave a powerful speech that saved their club. |
 |
| The student council really pissed me off. I'm glad that the club is still alive. |
 |
| Going to Akiba and KaiKai pulls through against the bad student council with his battle anime love :'( |
 |
| This anime is so trashy, but at least it makes for a fun time. :D KaiKai is the boss. Finally a Madoka reference. I was curious about the cat, so I checked the website and it says his favorite anime is Kemono and his favorite character is Serval. GOD TASTE NEKO-SENPAI |

| As an anime fan for years, this is the first time I've felt that I can relate to all the anime characters in an anime. Hahaha. They're the epitome of every otaku in the anime community and I wonder if there'll be an epitome of a weeaboo soon in this show. Hahaha that'll be interesting! Lmfao. Though, I can relate to that blonde girl the most. We had a brief BL moment there. The girls are all fujoshi. Ohmygod. Hahahaha! So happy that they finally became an official club. I just want to slap the Student Council for criticizing anime. I bet that President is lowkey an anime fan or she used to be in the Anime Club. Idk. Neko-senpai preview, as always, was glorious. Haha. Liked this episode. P.S. Them showing Akiba made me want to visit Japan more and spend my entire day in Akiba. Waaaaaah. |

| This really is the anime community in a nutshell. Like hilariously so |
  |

| Anime-gataris Episode 3 Impressions: Based on the first three episodes I have watched, I can tell the direction of the anime series will focus on entertainment. I am ok with this. While there are serious moments with characters, most of the time used in each episode explores the some part of otaku culture and uses many anime references in decently humorous ways to drive the entertainment. I can also tell based on how much references and moments there were in this episode, that the staff were really dedicated to this anime and put much care into it. 60% entertainment and 40% seriousness. Things will probably get even crazier when the next episodes come when the secret of the club gets revealed with the Neko. This episode's first half covers Minos exploring the culture of anime otakus in Akihabara. Minoa as a new anime fan seems to be really enjoying pointing out the anime Arisu and the rest of the club recommend to her. I get to see Erika's enjoyable passion in the cosplay shop. Arisu and Miko seem to get along with more similar anime opinions with the 3 episode rule conversation. Erika made the right choice to have the club go to places where otaku can fully express themselves. I can see that most members are really getting to understand each other well a little bit more. Kai Kai gets the most character development with his relationship with Minoa. He might be super crazy into acting like a shounen protagonist, but he surprisingly has a doubtful side when he confronts Minoa being overwhelmed by his passion. As clueless Minoa might be, she can clearly tell passion from a person and enjoys seeing that love the most from the anime club members. Seeing KaiKai returning the favor of Minoa's appreciation by justifying the purpose of the anime club in the most outlandishly fun way possible. The problem the anime club faces is definitely cliche, but the entertaining moments that happen more than make up for it. The ones that could care less about the anime club like Masato and Tsubaki mention something about the club that could possibly lead to chaos. I wonder what that could be. Based on the opening, I could see anime characters coming out to the real world to cause that chaos. Great episode overall. There's a lot of interesting things that happen in this anime that is definitely worth discussing. More anime fans need to get into Animegataris stat, this is a really fun series! So far, the anime has not wasted my time, spending time delving into interesting topics and exploring situations that I can relate to. |

| I liked how Kai stood up and gave that passionate speech about battle anime. |
 |
| Now the big question is: will KaiKai x Minoa continue? or will it turn to Kouki x KaiKai? or will both sink without further development? Edit: btw, is that an unmentioned Kana-chan cameo, that I heard? |

| Haha I had to check the episode # when they mentioned the 3 episode cut thingy |
| a 3 episode cutoff discussion...on the 3rd episode. that was funny and clever. well of course u gotta have a bitchy student council in one of these and the chuni's speech was good |
| Ahh, seeing Akiba in anime made me miss it so bad! And I'm enjoying this series more and more, I'm glad I'm buying it. |

| Always thought an anime club would be a cool idea but nah it would just die out. |
| Akiba's Trip opening music playing in the anime store. Very nice speech there by Kai, that face by Miko afterwards. The student council president mentioned Erika, I wonder if they were in an anime club a long time ago and something bad happened which is why she always tries to abolish them. |

| I know I already said it but, this anime is pretty entertaining. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| Not gonna lie. If I got too busy and had to start dropping anime, this would probably be the first to go. It's... entertaining haha but I think it's got me shaking my head more than getting really hooked & into it. That said, this was... hmm. Interesting haha. The trip to Akiba was pretty fun. Really makes me want to go there honestly >.>;;; Kai's definitely shaping up to be a favorite of mine haha. He's such a weeb (at least as we'd call em here) but he's a lot of fun. He can't help it. He's passionate ;o; And I can't say I'm not even the least bit similar once someone gets me started on my favorite anime >.>;;;; I've gotta... smh at the scene near the end where Kai tripped. Gotta parody that queerbaiting/fujobaiting in anime amiright pfft. That... also reminds me, I've gotta say uuh... whatshisface. Sparkly boy. Is not a favorite of mine. We'll have to see how his character centric ep goes but... man.... I was p excited for him too. I love me some pretty boys.... and a pretty boy who's a total anime loving dork??? Why not. Why not. I dig it. But so far he's just been kinda annoying -.-; |
  |
| They totally got me by discussing the three episode rule in the third episode. Loved that. Then they lost me with Kaikai's big dumb chuuni speech about battle anime. Yikes. |
 |
| That reference to the episode 9 speech in Maoyuu Maou Yuusha got me fanboying so hard. That speech really is one the greatest things I've ever seen in anime. So happy to see the creators of this show recognized that, too. |
| Wow there were just so many references, especially the posters at Akiba. At the end of the day all they needed to do was get the fujoshi votes. |
| I'm really enjoying this so far. I like how colorful the show is, the color palette just stands out as being so vibrant, and all of the characters look distinctly different. The OP is catchy as hell too. I laugh at all of the shit anime puns they make to avoid saying the real names: Ru: Zero and whatnot. Funny how they were making fun of the three episode rule in the third episode, and then also referenced Madoka and Love Live as prime 3 episode examples. Also if you listen closely, you'll notice in the scene right where they go into that "Anime Soul" place and start looking at the novel and keychains, in the background you can hear the in-store music playing and it's actually the OP theme for Akiba's Trip: The Animation. Huge fucking pun there since they were in Akiba. |
| Holy shit, this episode is cringy and weird as fuck. Did the student council really gathered that much of people just to abolish an anime club? Also discussing that 3rd episode drop thing is indeed clever but looks desperate lol I'm glad this show has the pink-hair and the kogal character to balance things out. |

Totally averting the trope of the Newbie who saves everyone. I liked more how even if he was a loud dork he can be serious and mature sounding when needed. We need more characters as good role models like him. |

| This really is an anime fan's anime. The amount of references are starting to get astronomical. I even saw Kazuma's jumpsuit. Talking about dropping an anime by episode 3 on the third episode was great. Kai's speech should bring a tear to every anime fan's eye. But I have to wonder what the council president meant when she said it's happening again. This show has been surprisingly great so far. |
| it;s pretty boring but im here for meta and references |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Lots of references Akiba's Trip Opening running in the bg Macross Delta Musaigen no Phantom World To Aru Series Yowamushi Pedal Love Live (lol chika's the VA for Erika) Hidan no Aria yeah I think everyone's still watching for the references |
| Hearing the opening song for Akiba's Trip when they walked into the store made me want to hurt myself; how dare this anime remind me of that awful show. Still waiting for a JoJo reference. |
| this makes me want to start an anime club... but not enough people in my school watch anime 😔 Great episode! |

| Another reference filled episode! That music that the anime shop is the OP music of Akiba's Trip The Animation! Why is the student council always being an antagonist to every anime related club even in other series? lolz... what the heck Minoa doesn't even know Akiba!?!? LOL even this show talk about people dropping-3-episode rule...which is very famous to us in MAL...unfortunately i'm a completionist. lolz It's KaiKai's time to shine this episode! nice speech! looks like Kouenji is a Fujoshi! 4/5. |
 |
| Dude Kaikai and Minoa! I ship it! I also love Minoa's development and the improving relationship between Arisu and Miko. Holy lord that speech was so good! When an anime makes a reference to the 3 episode rule...Legendary! Underrated show of the season. |
