| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Haha, Chika's reaction in that reading scene was priceless. All these stats this episode though. A lot of mind games between Shirogane and Kaguya as usual. They even have their own game contetst against each other. I find it funny how they're figuring out how each others' way of thinking. Also got the chapter adapted with Kaguya taking her walk. Cool. |
 |
| This episode started with a hilarious chapter to a heartwarming chapter. We get to know a bit about Kaguya. The new ed took me by surprise. This episode is my favorite and well-directed Cannot wait for the next episode, they're going to adapt This is too cute  I died how Chika casually touched and let go of that cockroach, I am deceased xD  |

| Well if the previous 2 episodes already managed to improve upon the source material through clever directing and a visual playground of entertaining ideas then this episode takes the cake. They improved so much on already great chapters, especially the 20 question one. And to top it right off they put a chapter they obviously won't be able to fit in as an exclusive ED right at the end. We really do not deserve Omata & his staff. This is the kind of treatment I expect and I'm overjoyed to see for a fan favourite among RomCom manga. |

| Haven't watched the episode yet, i just wanna express insane relief that the french chapter gets adapted next week, if they do that justice it will both be the funniest part so far by a large amount but if they adapt the secondary extra at the end its also going to be the first instance of fleshing out the characters in a more serous tone than for gags, which given this adaption is mostly going to stop right before the big strides I think we need. |

| The way they handled Kaguya learning about what your first time meant was perfection and I could not stop laughing xDD But man that section was well directed But in terms of direction, that 20 questions one takes the cake....I loved seeing just how well Shirogane knows Kaguya But that last part with the little girl was too cute :'') Also when Kaguya met up with Shirogane and rode with him to school was too followed by that final smile was too adorable lol P.S. That ED sequence was GOAT, I felt like I was watching a real person O_O Fappa said: YOOOOOOOO you serious? That was an actual chapter?!?!?!?And to top it right off they put a chapter they obviously won't be able to fit in as an exclusive ED right at the end. We really do not deserve Omata & his staff. This is the kind of treatment I expect and I'm overjoyed to see for a fan favourite among RomCom manga. Holy shit lol, I'm gonna DEFINITELY need them to continue doing that then....Man Chika is weird as shit, but she would make for a great idol lol |

| Best episode till date, that was absolutely fantastic and the directing was especially really really good. I knew Kaguya was mistaken about what 'it' was, that expression after finally learning what 'it' was so worth it. <3 Loved Kagua and Miyuki's game and I love how at the end Miyuki knew exactly what she was thinking of despite what everything seemed to imply. The direction for this was outstanding.These two are such fun. <3 The direction for this section was fantastic. The final segment was easily the best, wonderfully done and very wholesome especially the final scene of the episode when Kaguya just looks out the window and smiles. We need more segments like this. :) Top tier ED, full points for Chika dancing with the beat to the ED. I'm so very surprised they actually animated something like that despite only showing it for this episode unless it's the actual ED to the show and the last episode was just a special case. |
 |
| That ending omg!! It's so cute! I suppose it's getting us ready for her rap? I like how they speed up the intro in the beginning. It's as if even the staffs got annoyed by the repetition lol Also can't wait to see Ishigami. Hopefully in the next episode? |
Tokoya said: YOOOOOOOO you serious? That was an actual chapter?!?!?!? Holy shit lol, I'm gonna DEFINITELY need them to continue doing that then....Man Chika is weird as shit, but she would make for a great idol lol Well it's not an entire chapter but pretty much the pointe of one. It's Chapter 15 to be exact when Chika just casually frees the roach. |
| Rich people and their problems lol. I was just waiting for that moment when Kaguya realize that the "first time" is something entirely different xD and i was not disappointed. Ending was great. |
 |
| Yet again great! Their expression in the first part on Kaguya's answers! I remember laughing reading first time when Kaguya casually talking about Chika and her dog ... I feel like manga had more accent on Kaguya's very secluded upbringing, but it's just a very small nitpicking. The ending of 2 nd part and Kaguya's reaction was great! Her VA is doing amazing job! And the directing for 20 questions looked so impactful! For the 3rd part i think Shirogane's appearance was more emotional and might be comparable to future stuff like "saving grace". Always appreciate to see Hayasaka!!! The ED is amazing! Also waiting for rap =/ |

| DAT ENDING SO KAWAII BEST GIRL TOO<3 |

| I didn't remember that chapter with kaguya walking to school so that was wholesome as hell, It was also nice to see the tease of how cold she was in the past cause i mus tof mistakingly thought that wasnt shown till the french chapter Digitalexile said: I mean, the parts people are hyping up wont come till after the anime (aside from what will be the final episode) so i wouldnt hold your breath. I also would say if you dislike it now then you probably wont be won over later on or antyhing cause still at its heart its a comedy, and even though mindgames end fairly early into its run all things considered its still got the same sense of humor, i would say specifically the 3rd part of the ep is a bit more represenitive of the parts people are referring too albeit more comedic than that, but less mindgames more exploring character's upbringings and trying to experience new things they never got to in the past to varying degrees of success or serious subject matter.This is getting really repetitive and formulaic, had the same problem with the manga and honestly don't see what's the hype here. Guess I will just wait a bit when they adapt the "better parts" towards the end as the manga readers say. But again, if this just isnt doing it for you now id say its probably not gonna win you over in general. |

| That fucking narration is still going on... |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Great episode. Love the first part its hilarious cuz, Kaguya doesnt know "That". Shirogane is the monster virgin xD. The second part about 20 question is well directed and they adding BGM every question. The third part is wholesome cuz its about Kaguya character, and that bike scene is cute. Also the ED is the best. Chika-Chika |

Digitalexile said: He is probably talking about the intro, we already got it, what's the point again? In episode 2 it got repeated as a joke because the manga swapped magazines at that time and had to reintroduce its characters & concept. The episode adapted that first chapter in the new magazine and in Kaguya fashion ran with joke much like the author himself. This episode they sped it up to take the piss out of themselves. It's more like a running gag at this point. |

| That ED was AWESOME!!! It's been so long since I read the manga, so I don't remember that at all... but I do remember loving Fujiwara, so that sequence was probably a big reason. :P I really like the adaptation. |
I urge you to wait for that judgment my friend. Digitalexile said: JizzyHitler said: What do you mean? They clearly made a joke with it cause they sped through it to the point where all the dialogue was a incomprehensible mess, it was there for like less than 10 seconds. Certainly wasn't a funny joke... Well, it's subjective but at the very least it's a meta-joke so they are aware. OT: Very very good episode. Nice to see my favorite chapters getting animated like that. |
| These episodes are way too short. The anime adaptation first looks great so I wanted to remain anime only for a while, but I don't know if I'll be able to. A full week is too much time to wait for another episode. |
| Oh-ho, that ed! Super cute and catchy. As for the episode itself, I liked the second part with Shinomiya walking to school, I hope there'll be more moments like this that break the usual format of love combat. |
  |
i'll remain on the THICC girls dancing in swimsuits ED train :D however this is one of the greatest anime ED ever OH? |
|
| Forgot to say, impressive ED. Top quality. |
| is there gonna be a new ED every week? really fucking nice |
 |
| This episode was amazing. I was dying watching Kaguya learn about what someone’s “first time” meant. And that ED made my entire day...Chika is adorable af |

Would be really nice if we get some more of these exclusive EDs for other volumes. |

| I am so glad I was born in this era, I got to watch this masterpiece. |

| This was my favorite episode out of the three, probably because we had parts that were sort of different. The first part while it was still comedy focused, had a different spin on it, not the usual overthinking the main characters do. And the last part was the best out of everything adapted yet imo, I hope we will get more chapters like that. I was worried this anime would get repetitive soon, but if they change up the "fighting" chapters just like in this episode, there won't be a problem with it for me. |
| The quality of this adaptation always blown me with each episodes it keeps on getting better |
 |
| That was already a amazing episode but oh boy, that ending, THAT ENDING! Such a masterpiece! |

You're actually addressing something that the anime improves upon. As much as the manga is loved by so many people it took some time to find its footing as very early chapters mostly consist of those mind game skits. In reality the manga is much much more than just that and brings in variety like there is almost no other. The anime helps getting to that point faster by picking out specific chapters. Also helps that we're entering volume 2 material now where it slowly started to trickle down that there is more to this than pure comedy. That second & especially last segment are exactly that. So if you want more of that, rest assured. There should be a very nice mixture of all kinds of things including wholesome character building. |
| Oh my god. That new ending. What has happened to A1 Pictures? This is not the same A1 I used to laugh at |
