| That swimsuit shopping segment was comedy gold, especially with Shikimori's reactions. Her friends just love to tease. Izumi's phone call scenes with Shikirmori was sweet imo. I'm sure those two will make some great memories for the Summer season. |

| Oh please don't tell me, the guy whose entire existence is synonymous with the word “bad luck” to begin with is planning to go on a beach trip of all things, please no. Also why they’ve to make us realize every other minute of every other episode just how cool, super-duper cool Shikimori is, it’s already the most well known fact after earth isn't flat thing. |
 |
| The cooking scene at the end was funny though.They are going to the river eh good luck with that. |
 |
| That's a wholesome backstory between Shikimori and Nekozaki on how they became friends. |

That's literally the point of the whole manga and even hinted in the title,and they'll not be stopping anytime sooner...that's the best part about the series and many ppl love it ,so if you think it's already being overused I bet you should drop it. |

| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| I rather ship Shikimori and Nekozaki. A sprinkle of love triangle and yuri is what this bland anime needs xD |

| Another decent episode, but although the backstory on Nekozaki was nice, they completely skipped Izumi/Shikimori's interaction at the basketball game. I liked how they used the phone call to adapt the planetarium chapter, and while not as good, is better than just skipping it. I'll just assume they are rearranging the previous chapter/s they skipped from the beginning here. I'm definitely seeing more potential these last two episodes, hopefully it keeps up. Oh, and that cooking scene at the end easily makes this my favorite episode so far, that was just "chef's kiss".

| Alright that night talk between Shikimori and Izumi was actually quite decent but that doesn't matter since I'm now shipping Shikimori and Izumi's mom. Too bad, Izumi. |
 |
| Well so far the other characters are better than the main characters despite being a bit storeo type. Hopefully we will get to see more of it. The main characters are improving tho tho are showing more reactions besides miss perfect and clumsy boy who is unlucky. The episode itself was ok and that cooking class at the end. |
| Damn this is getting boring I'm officially dropping it! was going to drop it around ep 6 or 7 but changed my mind ngl |
 |
| Another okay episode, definitely a step down from last week's episode but it wasn't bad, just not good either. The last few minutes of the episode were pretty good but the first 15 were borderline bad so it was hard to like the episode. |

Dude you said "why they've to make us realise every moment about Shikimori being cool" and I gave a genuine advice that if you're irritated by it you probably won't like it coz they won't be stop doing it and therefore dropping might be a good idea. Giving an advice doesn't mean I'm asking you to do that just coz few ppl are hostile on MAL forums doesn't mean everyone are. |

Izumi has largely been very annoying for me and hard to watch, but the night sky scene was adorable. Probably the best thing he’s done in this series so far, hopefully he gets some more development. Shikimori as usual carried the rest of the ep and had some absolutely adorable moments.  |

| What a bland episode. Glad it got somehow redeemed by the post credit scene between Shikimori and Izumi’s mom. Hope it gets better next week. |
 |
| I like how Motoko had Fox Ears. That could be referanced in a multitude of ways from being a trickster to just being "aged" like a fine wine. Great episode. I liked seeing how Neko and Shikimori became friends. I enjoy the school aspect of this anime a lot. Shikimori wants a swimsuit now but Izumi was just impressed with that Chicks Abs LOL. |

thehornedrat said: What? How does Shikimori not have flaws? Anime continues going downhill quick. We just dont want the message, in this case perfect and flawless Mary Sue females, rubbed all over our faces. Even Marin has flaws ffs. Thats why we sought refuge in manga and anime, and not consuming Western sh!t. Performance reflected in the ratings...this was like top 20 beginning of the season. Looking forward to it dropping to the second page soon. She can't cook, she's insecure and gets jealous af, and despite her "cool" side, she frequently ends up getting embarrassed by her own actions. |

| Am I seeing some yuri moments or something? The night talk is very nice! |
 |
| Great episode! Was nice to see how Nekozaki and Shikimori became friends and it was SUGOKU KAWAII (NANO DESU) to see Shikimori buying the swimsuit she thought Izumi was looking at xD. Also, the after credits scene is great! Izumi's family really do have bad luck! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Somewhat boring episode, at this point Izumi's mom would be a better MC than he is. Next episode is suppose to be a beach episode so hopefully we get some Shikimori fanservice. |

  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| Shikimori doesn't back down from a good challenge but as long as Izumi is involved, he gives it his all, it's getting close to summer and they can go out and have fun. |
| I think it was a pretty good episode, everything its typical but I guess if you like romance you will like this episode. This anime is basically the prologue of a drama filled anime, where nothing really goes on lol |

| I hope this series ends with Izumi dying young in an extremely rare way, it would really fit the bad luck theme. Dropped 3/10 |

| Speaking for myself, this anime had been hit or miss for me, mostly miss. But as if this episode... yeah I kind of really liked everything. This episode alone had quite a lot to drastically improve my opinion on this (at least for now, hopefully the rest continues to be as good!!), but it was mostly because of this: Also I just now noticed the visuals for the ED, it's kinda cute |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| I like this anime but I admit its pretty one-note vanilla romance. (I still enjoy it by the way) But this episode made me think everyone kinda treats Shikimori like a Goddess. Not in the funny way like Komi-san, but it feels like everyone puts her on some kind of perfect pedestal. I'm mean I get it, she's got the skills/looks to back it up. Makes me wonder how she really feels with everyone praising her. |
| I wonder why they don't just facetime unless that's not a part of the technology of this time. |
