----------------------------------------
Ah more focus on Rio and the adolescent syndrome. We got more storytelling about her and seeing the time she spends with Sakuta really is interesting.

No doubt, I think she and Rio also has some neat chemistry between each other. The show continues to build these character relationships that really are worth investing into. Personally, seeing Rio outside of her school world makes her into a more relatable person too.

Also, Nodoka spotted.

So Futaba's problem is solved but there is still one left, the girls who came with the cat.
Or who comes for the cat.
I wonder what her case is.
The episode itself was pretty nice Futaba has a nice house.

Great episode.

Futaba's insecurity over losing her place in the world was very heartfelt. The part where Kunimi showed up seconds after Sakuta called him was awesome, the parts after where the trio went out to have a little fun made me smile.

Honestly, I don't really have much to say. This was handled really well and that's all there is to it. Both Futaba and Kunimi really grew on me this episode.

The ending where I assume Futaba confesses to Kunimi and knows she's probably gonna get rejected was very bittersweet.

So Nodoka is an idol and she likes Mai ? Interesting.

Futabas issues are pretty common, but her selfawareness and openness regarding it are something else.

I really loved the conclusion to this arc and the execution was top as always. So many feels..

Looking forward to the next episode.

Interesting episode that did well in expanding upon Futaba's inner worries. Though its interesting in seeing how different the two copies see themselves. Alt Futaba sure ended up having a chilling experience due to those photo's though. Sakuta's attempt to prove how Futaba isn't alone sure ended up producing interesting results. The fireworks event at the beach though was cute and it was nice seeing Futaba laugh and have fun given recent events. Using the request to see the fireworks together to reconcile the two halves sure was creative. Futaba sure looks pretty in that yukata. It was nice seeing the three of time seeing the fireworks together. Im glad that in the end Sakuta was able to solve Futaba's worries and reconcile the two. Looks like a new heroine will appear next ep and one that likes Mai.

Another amazing episode! this show does not disappoint.
Really felt bad for Futaba a lot of times, her best friends getting their love lifes really hit her hard, its also amazing how Kunimi's girlfriend didnt pop out in the ep but still manages to piss me off.
That being said that was a bitter sweet ending, she was definitely about to get dumped.... at least they stay friends.


PS. That after credit scene, please tell me blond lil sister didnt swap bodies with MAI!? cause thats what I got from her shock and her nonchalant Mai like expression in the prev.

Futaba has gained confidence enough to confess and understand the outcome. I think it's a good conclusion to this arc

Now we have sexy Futaba with glasses

So in the end the Futaba (hair down) that disappeared was the one whom Sakuta been talking to at school (for 2 arcs) the whole time and the new Futaba (ponytailed) with less issues was the one that prevailed. I guess she became "whole" again when both of them decided to move forward.

I really enjoyed how they handled Futaba's problem, really well done episode. The problem itself was obvious, but I like how they managed to handle it in an adult, but non cliché way. The moment in the beach was also adorable and unique.
I wonder what happens next, who is next, I mean.
On a side note, I'd like to touch on how common all this problems are in the real world, and how all these solutions are kinda advisable, all being healthily based on friendship, and openly sharing your problems. The show does a really good job on lightly touching insecurities, and borderline depression, without being obnoxiously harsh on it, or going full drama mode.
Hope to see more of Mai next ep, miss her adorable face. Sakuta was also very adult in the way he approached the news. To be expected, but glad to see how consistent his character is.

Nah in the previous arcs she wasn't splitted in two, and at the end she didn't disappear they just became one again.

I do think they swapped bodies tho. When she woke up she looked surprised and the phone was Mai's one. Or they just have the same phone, who knows.

Nice mini-arc. I really like Futaba and would have hoped to see her breaking out of her shell even more, but i I suppose this is a more realistic outcome.

Was I the only one that was bothered by the drop in the animation quality? It's particularly noticeable with the guys (the girls always have to be bishin, right?) in the beach. Kunimi in particular

Why is Kunimi still even dating that girl? She's a total cunt who hates his friends and wants him to stop seeing them because she's more worried about her own popularity than his happiness. This relationship 100% won't last past high school anyway, just get it the fuck over with already. He doesn't even have to rebound straight to Futaba, just cut out what's her face and be with the bro squad in peace smh.

ANYWAY, body swap next week huh? That's fun.

Rarely do I fall in love with a series enough to give it a 10 before the season even ends, and this season gave me TWO. Bunny girl Senpai and Slime Reincarnation both have me refreshing the CR page every week around release time. There are several other strong shows this season too, I'm starting to ponder on where this group of shows ranks all-time. Definitely top 25% for sure, in my eyes.

Yeah, I think everyone's wondering what Kunimi sees in Kamisato at this point. Paradoxically, I kind of wish she had had more screen time so she could expand beyond just the "bitchy g/f" stock character. It would help us understand Kunimi better.


I appreciated this episode, but I didn't connect with it on an emotional level since it was hard for me to relate to what Futaba had been dealing with. It just wasn't my middle school or high school experience. But it jives with what I've heard from others.

That must be very hard, at last, she returned to her old self, everything resolved, and yet, it still seems like they are only getting worse, the way she told him to make up with his girlfriend and all, she's being considerate even though she really wants to be with him, that's really nice of her, and very sacrificial, I know a lot of girls are not like that.

yep the others have shit tastes thats why they like it so much,btw i never said that i don't like it,i said only that it's generic and thats true.
the score is too high for this anime,and i bet that at the end will surpass 8.70 and maybe 8.75 and the idea that this anime will surpass anime like ping pong,natsume,3 gatsu no lion,mushishi,rakugo shinjuu and gits make me doubt human evolution.but after that 8.52 to shokugeki no souma nothing surprise me anymore.
and this series is not better than oregairu and monogatari.



so basically what you're saying is anyone who thinks differently than you has "shit" taste and you're upset because it may surpass shows you like on some arbitrary list. Gotcha. You must be fun at parties

Quite fast that Futaba's arc has already ended but it wrapped it up quite nice.

Loving the Sakuta, Kunimi and Futaba moments in this episode. They were really sweet and I would like to see more of their friendship in future episodes.

Futaba only wanted attention, eh? I could totally relate to her regarding that. The scene where she finally confesses what she was feeling was really heartfelt.

That end though... It's probably going to be bittersweet for Futaba... I wanted her to be with him.

Of course the agency would be all 'dating is prohibited' thing... *sighs* Hoping things would work out for Sakuta and Mai.

Time for the sis-con to appear!

Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber!
Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route!
