Welp, my initial read on Sun was that he was playing Joro the entire time to get him hooked up with two girls while goading him on with the "best friend" card. After all, he acts as if he understands Hinata and Council Prez's feelings, but acts almost superficially dense, and has that almost "too nice to be real" tone in his voice. Guess that prediction was off the mark, but it isn't entirely impossible at this point. I don't trust the guy.

New prediction: Sumireko is actually really attractive and hides it with that hairstyle and those "ugly" glasses. In the OP, I'm pretty sure she is the last girl with the blue eyes in the white dress during the baseball segment where all of the female characters show up one by one. Which would lead to the question: Why hide it? Perhaps it is one of her ways of screwing with Joro, so that she can pull off a classic transformation known in stereotypical romcoms.

Anyway, solid episode. I didn't expect much going into this anime, but I can say it now has my attention.

OMG "Bitch, Bitchier, Bitchiest" LULZ

This episode triumphs the absolute fuckery that is Episode 1 and takes it up a notch further. Now I'm legit scared about that bench of the red thread of fate.

Pansy sure is still that stalker-face character that likes Joro, BUT...to think that his best friend Sun-chan will like Pansy...is such a fucked-up thought. NOW replicating AND reciprocating all 4 friends, Joro is in a stalemate, and more than just a love pentagon. He's just more than your unlucky protagonist that one after another, he's already had death flags raised before he knew it.

This pentagon of coincidences sure is a true-to-life phobia waiting to happen.

I must highlight two things, First and most important, Sumireko is the best girl in this anime, she is the most beautiful, I love her eyes when they can be seen through her glasses, her somewhat sharp side is something that little by little I'm getting used to it, but now I think that she loves Joro 100%, although after seeing the end of this episode, my only question is why did she set up Joro so that Sun, Himawari and Cosmos saw everything? What does she know that Joro ignores?
And second RIP Joro, first because Sun loves Sumireko and the worst thing is that after talking with Joro, Sun asks Himawari and Cosmos for help, both girls are devastated and very angry with Joro, since Sun misunderstood his advice, but the worst part is that Sun gets very aggressive when Sumireko was chatting with Joro.
It is starting to hurt to see how Sun, Himawari and Cosmos abuse Joro's friendship for their own convenience and then we see how these bitches turn their backs on Joro upon learning that Sun loves Sumireko, I hope that in the next episode the drama do not be dense.
For a moment when bench-kun appeared, I thought Sun would tell Joro that he loves him, thankfully, Sumireko was the person, but even then that moment was hilarious.

Today we had Opening and Ending, the Op is very fun and highlights the beauty of Sumireko too well, it also seems that Himawari, Cosmos and Sumireko will not be the only girls we will see in this anime and another detail is that the Op shows for a moment the "dark side" of Joro and Sumireko, which makes them look like a perfect match.
I have a big doubt, in the Ending we see the three FMCs with beautiful dresses and very cute, but Sumireko literally looks like another girl, especially because she has big breasts and the plain Sumireko has no chest, my question is Sumireko hides her big breasts or She uses padding ?, Whatever the answer is, Sumireko with her hair down and without her glasses is gorgeous and she far exceeds Cosmos and Himawari and now I remember that Joro mentioned something of a girl similar to Op and Ed, beautiful, nice and with big breasts and Sumireko says "you mean my ", I am beginning to understand everything.

Hilarious how people here complain about the show, because it is 'not realistic', the 'characters are cliche' and seriously discussing 'best girl'.
The whole show is clearly a parody and the whole point is that the character troll and get trolled in every scene.
How can anyone discuss this as if it is a serious romance show and not see the obvious???

The writing is quite clever as well, I especially like that they managed to have the same phrases for similar situations copied for the different characters.
I'm interested to see if they ramp the goofiness even more or what direction they go next.

My man Joro is cursed , dude does is best yet he's the one getting burned and next week we're burying his corpse .

Pretty good episode I'm eager to see whether this anime is really just a parody of a romcom or if it does get much deeper than that , because the characters do seem to reflect our society in which people are nice to others as long as it benefits them then once that person is no longer useful to them they show their true colors but maybe I'm looking too much into that .

This is really turning out to be one of my favorite romcom stories in a long time, the way the gag's are executed and how the scenes transition from character A to character B is amazing, I have never watched an anime that keeps doing the same lines but with different characters and still have it be funny and intriguing at the same time, the only enigma here is our MC, its like taking different heroine routes and seeing how they react in that same scenario.
For a moment there I thought Sun-chan was gay but was also half expecting his crush to be Pansy.
Also now Pansy.. WTF is goin on with her? how does she know so much and she literally pin pointed when things would spice up, and now called all of them in one room, it really looks like she's playing all of them.

Anyways another great ep! had a lot of laughs with this one as well! better than ep 1! keep.it.up!!!!
That OP and ED are beautiful! and Pansy without glasses in that ED is bae af! I knew she'd be hotter and cuter than the other 2! get your shit together Joro and just hit it up with your stalker!
Still too early to say it but this series will most likely be my AOTS!


I was expecting for Sun-chan to be gay, too. It would be funnier in my opinion.

Haha this show is getting interesting. Definitely Gamers! vibes, but with extra spice. The delicious chaos is brewing >:3

Joro totally taking the place of the typically unfortunate best friend character, and Sun-chan the oblivious MC in typical romcom style...

I disagree with Joro, i actually like Pansy. Girls with a bit of bite are much more my taste. Cosmos is really pretty and fun when not lovesick, and Himawari can be pretty cute would def wanna be their friends, but Pansy is way more my speed... especially if she's that good of a schemer heh. I could do without the stalking, but not something i couldn't manipulate her out of doing. Having an intriguing girl like her would make life a lot more fun and interesting, and it would be a joy to continuously learn more about a nuanced girl like her. Plus she's a top-class troll.

Indeed. Actually currently she is my favourite female character in the show. And tbh, either for me any anime girl is cute, or I do not understand other characters. You want me to believe that girl with glasses is ugly?

I wanted to punch both Cosmos & Himawari, they treated Joro as if he was just a servant : begone parasites.

But next episode might be explosive, someone might lose his last ally in a weird love geometry : I'll be looking forward this scene !

Everything is spinning, I loved the turn that everything had in relationships. Even though Joro helps them fall in love with Sun, they pay him that way, very badly, they deserve it. And I thought that Sun would be declared to Joro, that was my worst fear, how lucky it was not. Poor Joro, misfortune pursues him, hahaha 😂. This is very complicated, someone must sacrifice themselves here. This was definitely on 🔥.
Sanshokuin is already pretty, but she looks even more beautiful in the OP and ED. Joro doesn't know what he rejects.

Would half wanna drop the show if he was gay. This show being paraded around with advances towards the main dude would annoy me. I like that the one person who likes him is who he doesn't want. I mean every scene with the dude would become him trying to fend off his attraction. It's much better that he's just average dude that likes a girl. Assuming he falls into the "gay" anime character trope which is basically what this show is all about (Character tropes in real life situations.)

I think the thing I like the most are the characters being easy to relate to, That guy that everyone likes, is actually really charismatic and fact is people like that. 90% of us thought on the first episode, it was a harem for the main character. Why wouldn't he think the same thing after seeing that?

Sumireko and Joro are really great, because they're outliers.

I think if bench-kun came at the very end of the series for a Carry this would remain a 10/10 for me

She'd already murder them by now if we already have a poll. The other heroines aint got shit on her, this is like Kirisu against the other heorines in bokuben.


IIRC Sumeriko got close to 90% votes in a poll in 2ch (unofficial, but it had a lot of vote counts). But that was on the LN and it was a pretty early poll. However, I think the other heroines never made any grounds since then.

Sensei (60.5%, being the latest and the most) didn't get more than 90% of the votes in any polls (official or unofficial, much like the recent Gotoubun fave scene/ch poll where Miku had almost half the votes (49.3%) in her bag). Fumino and Uruka have their very own solid fanbases. And the four heroines have almost 40% of the votes combined. And while I am not a big fan of Fumino, she is not a bad person by any means. None of the heroines in bokuben is a bad person actually. And my over reaction (which I am aware of) to Fumino is because of bitter experience from her fanbase in reddit and 2ch. But this is a complete different story.


Pansy and Mafuyu seem to follow the same vibe and formula too, hence their dominance in the votes (no official Oresuki one yet but the 2ch vote can give us an idea)...

Considering they're both my Best Girls of their own respective seasons. Fufufu...

the op and ed was decent, even tho it has the spoiler pansy being the ultimate heroine. looking at this pace, next episode i expect to see the true form of pansy... damn B O I

i found that pansy's true form looks like yukinoshita with boobs xD



More like a mature Shoko Makinohara from Aobuta to my eyes: same eye color and almost similar way with how they both let their hair flow.

I'm not sure if I'll be sticking around with this series. I don't handle series that rely on continually beating down the MC, no matter how unlikeable they may be, or using too much cringe humour or misunderstandings that could easily be resolved by common sense thinking.

I dont know but for me this is one of the unique romcom ive seen in a while, it feels so different and enjoyable to watch.Its close to the level of quality of kaguya sama that came out this year.Probably this will be on ma top 5 anime this year and AOTS.

Also based on the OP there will be more characters to come, holy moly

I laughed so hard in this scenes xD




 

Joro needs to open his eyes and see how pretty Pansy is, prettier than himawari and cosmos cmon bruh look at that beauty.

This is isnt bad, but....

I knew everything in this episode, before it happened...

too easy to predict, that becomes boring...

the final 5 secs of the episode saved this series, from dropping it already.

I hope it gets better, 6/10 for now.

It didn't hit that much this time compared to episode 1 but I'm still hoping for some funny things or funny parts to come. And using that kind of character is what we need right now because who the fuck needs a guy that always helps a girl without any filthy desires in it I mean fuck Araragi and sakuta in their goody two shoes personality Joro Is the fucking god of helping a woman and the best part in him is that he has the best Side character trait I mean his the best wing man

Poor Joro though, all the hassle of having to set everyone up with Sun. And then Sun's interested in Pansy. This is turning into a complete mess of a situation for Joro. I have a feeling that things will only get worse as time goes on. Especially as it looks like Pansy is the one orchestrating all of these problems.
She's looking alright with her hair down and glasses off in the ed.
It's been pretty good so far. I look forward to the next episode.

Poor Joro is developing Selective Cathisophobia when it comes to these benches. Great a love pentagon. Perhaps it will expand. I really like Sanshokuin's deliberative ploys. On another note, Joro isn't being a good "Watering Can" to his "Flowers" XD.
