This was a really cute episode! It was a lot more lighthearted than other episodes are and I really liked seeing everyone dressed up in their prom outfits. There were some really nice moments between Hikki & Yui this ep too.

Totsuka is finally back too... I missed him so much!

This episode had some of the earlier seasons banter in it and was quite enjoyable. A disco ball always lightens things up.....except in the movie Carrie.

Such a light hearted episode. Seems like it'll be followed up with a heavy one. This was a breath of fresh air and I'm kinda everyone is just having a good time.
I love how the episode gave us moments of both Yukino and Hachiman as well as Yui and Hachiman. Both scenes made me smile. Oh yeah Iroha and Hachiman was given moments in this as well. Even Totsuka. This was a great breather.

Also, the fact that we got the crazy revelation from last episode, Yukino asking Yui and Hachiman to be together as the highlight of the prom video is "oddly" nice. Yukino doesn't necessarily seem to see Yui as a rival so it seems like their friendship is still very much intact nicely. That's very nice to see.

Ah, its about the scenes that happening in the opening theme song. Iroha, you were too cute, even too cute to compared with the level of Imouto. So, your quote for Hachiman was wrong at every side. Be done with it, girl! Afterall she really learn much thing over this prom planned. Ofc, she was a good girl, why not, right? A great kohai, a better Iroha on it!

Also, man, sensei appearance with her usual allegary really hit right in the spot for Hachiman. Then, the Komachi cute scene while passing the enter exam. Shit, its good! Aw, Saki too, she had a nice expression, once again, while talking to Hachiman! Then, our trap, finally had his screen time. But, its not much. I really need his appearance for relaxing the heavy breath of our trio relations!

Finally, its over. It may occur some weak part on some sequences. However, its still had a good impact before reaching the main heavy attention it had in the next episode. I, must, hold, off, my mind. Because it would hit fast and too like a trainwreck. I must been prepared!

Quite touching, honestly I think it's very weird how they left that out. They are working with 4 volumes now so I thought the pacing would be a lot more chill.

Anywho, great episode. And im actually looking forward to see this prom stuff. wow, since its something i have rarely seen in anime.

I think the last time I saw an anime with a prom atmosphere scene was in Kanon.


Seriously, out of the 3 main chicks, Yui is the best chick. She has a lot of feminine in her. What the heck does everyone see in Yukino and Iroha? geesh

The beginning of the episode suddenly made me violently ship their brother and sister. Yes, there weren't any real ship tease here, but the idea of ​​them studying together seemed pretty cute or warm to me.

I'm not even going to say that teasing in such a context doesn't make a character a lesbian yet, but lol, I love when people pretend that bisexuals don't exist and immediately suspect that a character is gay, although literally half of her purpose in the plot is one-sided crush on guy.

Can someone explain to me the point of the Saki Kawasaki character, it's like she is one of the route of a sim dating game so they had to have her in the anime. 8man is no longer the same from season 1 and season 3 is worst than season 2. This became your typical harem anime.

Saki's just a minor character whose purpose concluded in season 1 that the writers found a few more bit parts/gags to include her in than the last season. Playing with tropes is kinda the point of this series, Hachiman included. He's developed past that point, but so far it's looking like the real climax was back in season 2 and now it's just playing through the usual rom-com motions a lot slower than usual. Personally I was hoping it would have more to do with itself than what we've seen so far.

Yukino is better in a dress. I'm not a fan of women in men's clothing, it doesn't suit their femininity.
Yui looked beautiful doing her makeup, that's what I like to see.

Had to say this because everyone gushes about how 'cool' Yukino looks. The contrarian in me had to say otherwise.

Other than that, I don't have much to say. This episode was bland af. This series is losing its luster and is dragging on for too long.

Also, I hope Totsuka dies. Easily the worst character. This series would be far better without that sissy.

At long last Yukinon's prom is underway, with all the preparations and such.

Iroha's assertiveness and ploy to Hachiman, I'd say that was somewhat uncalled for, but at least it gave our boy a piece of calm mind.

The "wish fulfillment" continues as Yui gets her another wish of dancing with Hachiman, but that's one step closer to her own end, her indulge with him furthering the distance between the two. On Yukinon's side though, it seems as though her whims to Hachiman were all fulfilled, and her independence growing them further (but as is with her hand not letting go of Hachiman, that proves otherwise).

With the prom done, all the juxtaposition of cat-and-dog fight isn't quite over as Yukinon makes her choice to indulge in her family's affairs. Even worse from Haruno's POV, the trio's "co-dependency" doesn't quite make literate sense (even if her intimidating gibberish talk is one to fear), and the NEED to HAVE an ending to close their ends isn't as easy as mere pep talk.

In the end, it's Hiratsuka-sensei who provides a way out for Hachiman for him to make his ultimate choice. Please, for the love of God, would some fine man marry this single woman!

I do have mixed feelings on how this would end, but let it rip.

I'm sure for novel readers the emotional impact was not as well executed but as an anime viewer I already got the sense that Yukino was feeling disappointed at Yui and Hachiman helping with the prom since it goes against her wish of being independant instead of relying on others. She didn't say it or make her feelings known which says alot on how much work is still needed to be done on her part in regards to getting her voice and feelings across.

It felt weird that Hachiman would ask Totsuka out to hang out but it really does show how much he's changed. I really like how you can see so much change and yet it's not too much that it feels like a different person. It still feels like Hachiman. He's gotten to the point where he's able to ask another person outside of the Service Club to hang out compared to before where he forced himself to be alone. It feels like Hachiman is lonely without Yukino and was asking him to be a friend. It's sad that he didn't ask Yui. He's still avoiding the problem which like I said is good in a narrative sense. He still has alot to change about himself even if he's made small steps to a good change which is pretty realistic.

I look forward to more as it seems the drama is once again rearing it's head which is sure to get interesting and force more change out of our trio.

Another lovely bonding moment of BroSis, both Hachiman with Komachi and Saki with Her brother too on the passing the entrance exam.

So the dancing sequences from the OP were from this prom preparation episode, iYukino looks cool with the tuxedo, meanwhile Yui got her moments with 8man in this episode as dance partner. Well, after getting the moments she needs it seems there'll be something serious in the next episode looking by the preview.

and.. the words from 8man in the end tho hahaha...

I guess I could say that Dance there was okay and Hachiman was a bit cringy on that scene but it was pretty romantic on where Yui and Hachiman dance.

Damn Yukino look like a boy but a pretty cute one like Saki lol.

Interesting episode...I'm glad Komachi passed the entrance exam :D she cried more with Yui than with Hachiman hahaha. In the other side, Sensei has packed her stuff, oh no. Some interesting subplot? Finally, I feel like Iroha is really trying to make a good prom in the future. Even Yukino helping might be better than she originally expected (and at least Hachiman knows what a prom is xd).

Oh, looks like they cut some important parts in the Komachi scene, that explains the fast pacing there.

Damn, I don't remember the last time we've had a fun episode with not a lot of drama or foreshadowing.

There's something about the moments between Iroha and Hachiman that just clicks, at this point Iroha is great, unlike the first time we met her.

Yukino looks so nice in that suit and same for Iroha. However, sadly for Yui, I didn't like how she looked, way too much makeup and also the earring which I hate but besides that it was nice. Seeing Hachiman staying on the side felt so natural, lol. He still likes his lonely time sometimes.

Also lmao, Hachiman inviting Saika was great.

"Calm before the storm" is exactly what I thought at the end of the episode even before watching the preview. Aside from finding out that Hachiman and Yukino don't have each other's contact info, nothing dramatic happened.



Hachiman being embarrassed to help Yui walk is so funny to me. Being dressed in a tuxedo at a semi-formal dancing event is the perfect occasion to offer your arm to a lady dressed for the ball. Every aspect of the situation is perfectly set up and Hachiman has the proper attire to partake.
