Kyouya feels like a proud father with all the work they poured into for their project. Very happy for him and the team and they deserved that little celebration toast.

I hope this is just the beginning and opened up doors to see even more talent. Aki also looked happier than ever and I'm happy for her.

So the Video that Team Kitayama made used stop motion, and their video got a rousing response.

Team Kitayama got third place, no doubt Kawasegawa got first place.

Using stop motion to solve the camera problem, very great solution from Kyouya. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
At this point, it looks like that all of the main females characters are interested in Kyouya. 😏 Kyouya also knows their talents and their interests as well. This will lead to a better team relationship in the future. Kyouya will be the one behind and managed the Platinum Era.

Not gonna lie, but that was one way to tackle the camera situation that they had in hand. To turn that into a still motion picture using still images and doing all that with just editing takes a lot of skill. Props to Kyouya for his hard work in this. And, they managed to get the third position in the competition, so that's a win in my book.

The team doesn't want to lose to Kyouya or wanna be left out completely. So, they're going to work harder next time which is a great thing to have in a team. Overall, another good episode.

That was a really creative way to make the film and it was done really well. Too bad they didn't win first place but given the circumstances winning third place is still a great achievement and they are also fired up more than ever. Eiko won first place as expected and I knew it, sensei and Eiko looked quite similar. So they are sisters, looks like they are on good terms too.

Kyouya's relationship with Nanako is progressing smoothly. Eiko is very interested in him too, wonder why thou. Also I'm glad we got more Shino Aki x Kyouya, that last scene was sweet.

That really was a creative to get out of their problem. The anime really cut the fat in the storytelling, because that ninja student who gave a standing ovation had originally a key role in it. Question:

Anybody know which anime theme Nanako sang in karaoke? It really feels familiar, and probably comes a popular anime around that timeline.

Honestly my only complaint is that the episode was over way to quickly.

Still i have to say the characters are doing well so far and it seems that Nanako might be the romantic interest.
Tho from character interactions it's clear Eiko might be interested as well and since she is the only character so far that we know played a roll in the future life of the main she has a good chance.
Her personality seems to be in the way tho, but it will be interesting to see if she changes and how she changes.

Screening is on, and the solution is fairly creative, but guess who suggested this would be a way out last episode? Definitely not obvious at all and pretty sure a lot of others would have guessed that too but the execution of it was surprising!

Feeling some harem vibes - I wonder why when 3 of the girls seems to have their eyes on Kyoya but I digress - but I honestly don't mind a harem that has actual plot rather than speedrunning how many girls like me lmao.

Was I the only one who thought Nanako was gonna sing beautifully and be introduced as the final platinum trio member? Kinda surprised they didn't do that, don't really remember what the platinum trio were known for tbh lol, but I'm hedging my bets that it'll happen soon!

Teachers the sister, okay fair enough thought striking red hair was rare and I guess it runs in the family, but won't biases come into play when grading something subjectively and objectively there were more cheers for kyoya's than eiko's? Seems unfair KYOYA DESERVED THE DUB. Jokes aside, personally think it's better they lost so they can move to improve themselves as we see them doing at the end, saying kyoya's leaving them behind but they won't lose xD

Nice episode again.

They made a pretty nice movie despite their constraints and a pretty creative to solve the problem.

Kawasegawa was very cute when she was talking to her sister (of couse she was), I think she's definitely my favorite so far. I liked her in episode 1 too, I'm just hoping the show doesn't lean too hard on harem tropes or romantic melodrama.

Nanako was singing Sobakasu! I recognized that tune immediately. Looks like she's watched Rurouni Kenshin, I approve. xD

Kyouya saying he loves Shinoaki's art was a very nice scene. :)

Another masterfully done episode. Shinoaki and Kyoya’s convo at the end was so cute, she and Nanako are in a tight battle for best girl rn. I love the fact that we get a slice of life style anime with university students as opposed to the overdone high school tropes. High school is cool and all, but so many of us are a ways removed from it. Especially those that read LNs of which this is an adaptation.

I figured it would be stopmotion, since with the kind of camera they had, there was no other choice. I wish I got glimpses of what Kasegawa's team did at least, or the silent film shown before just to see the level of where the class is in general, and where team Kitayama is in comparison beyond just hearing that they were third.

I really wish this series doesn't turn to a harem but it's already planting seeds for one potentially, so meh.

Wish they could have actually showed their film start to finish. 3 minutes of time isn't that much to use up... Through and through, the characters in this series are real "anime" characters. The harem is already starting to form. Well I doubt anything will ever come out of that though.

Imagine Kyoua being able to fix his life, but in the process he's indriectly gonna cause Shinoaki to fail in some way. Then he's gonna have to travel back to fix it again. Toyko Revengers style xD

And well, well, who would've thought that these two are sisters πŸ™ƒ

Pretty nice episode again. The screening was of course a success and the senpai seem like nice and fun people. Lesbo vibes were already oozing out from YURIka. Coincidence? I don't think so. And girls wearing their shirts like her, with one shoulder hanging out are hot by default.

I just may have to rethink my position on there being more than one returnee, now that we know more concerning Kawasegawa; her sister being the instructor, and not being at all surprised at what her team produced suggests that she really did develop this skill level without the aid of a rewind.

The heart of Kyouya's solution is pretty much what I'd thought it would be; motion pictures, after all, are a series of still images taken in very close sequence and then displayed in rapid succession...in the pre-digital era anyway. In other words, what i grew up with. So I figured he'd have them take a sequence of pictures and somehow use that as the basis for their final product.
So that, to me, was somewhat of a no-brainer.
Just how they went about all of that, on the other hand...not a no-brainer.
Having the contact information for someone with the technical know-how capable of instructing him over the phone on the still camera work? That was a Chekov's Gun after all, the run-in with the Fine Arts Club.
Organizing it on the fly.
Taking what everyone else produced and working it so everything meshed properly timing-wise with effectively no retakes...once recorded, the audio track was set in stone, one then had to have the still images and graphic art blended together to time correctly with the audio, all of that done using software some ten years earlier in development from what he'd most recently been working with?
Quite impressive.

Bunch of other neat stuff, but breakfast is getting cold...

I wish we could have seen Kawasegawa's team's project, as well as Kyouya's team's project uninterrupted. Oh well, it's nice that they still managed to get 3rd place despite the problems they ran into. Hopefully their future projects run more smoothly. I liked the moments Kyouya shared with Nanako and Shinoaki in this episode.

Ooh boy, this was a bit of a rough episode to sit through.

First we don’t get to see Kawasegawa’s film after it was hyped up so much, then we didn’t get to see Kyouya’s film because they were too busy showing what they did to make it, followed by them getting the cliché 3rd placement after receiving the cliché stunned reaction and standing ovation.

For a story about geniuses creating masterpiece films, you would think the author would have put more effort into avoiding tropes and writting the narrative. If you are going to have everyone praise Kyouya and act like what he made was so phenomenal, then we actually have to see what he made so it feels earned.

All of this (and the growing prevalence of his harem) makes me worried about the rest of this anime.

This is turning into one of your my favorite shows for this season. I liked the idea of using a stop motion rather than just using the digital camera to record the whole film, Also was he referring to NicoNico when he talked about the Japan-only video site?

I was just like Aki in the past, liked creative writing and translations from foreign languages but when I began to study at the university at the Faculty of Journalism I felt that to be good in it as a worker I have to fit in the model that choked me on many levels (mostly about building social relationships as a foundation) so I dropped my learning and up to this day I can't find a place in the sun.

Nice job by Kyouya in this episode, he's fully uses a newly acquired leader's potential.

Yes, this anime is a colourful ticket to Wonderland where everything resonates with the heart and I like those type of stories that help you to turn away from the imperfection of the world. Ready to be deceived and on to the very end of the series.

It was a great episode, but I gotta complain about not showing the short film Kawasegawa made. It was backed up with a lot of hype by Kawasegawa herself and was pretty competitive about it towards Kyouya that she would win and in the end we don't get to see a single second of it. Kind of a shame really.

So the sensei is also a Kawasegawa, the elder sister. The hair and eyes kind of gave it away, but I initially thought it was her mother.

The moment of Kyouya convincing Shinoaki to not quit art was really sweet, I loved that!

Holy crap i'm in love with this show, if it can keep up, it'll be my first 10/10 of the year.

Shino aki is just super duper cute and I really want Kyoya to get closer to her, it just makes sense.

Also that short movie presentation was great, well done Kyoya on that.

Has a 8.60 mean score
