honestly this is the best episode so far, for the first time this show got me focused on the whole episode since the second one, it took 8 episodes to happen something that really matters and now i'm kinda mad for the director because he was at his best for this ep but i'm affraid he won't keep going
THANK YOU FOR TAKING SOME TIME TO READ MY DUMB THOUGHTS

Kamiya best girl and best character.. Honestly this show has had some of the worst,cringy dialogue I've ever seen in anime, and the previous episodes felt like filler... But kamiya brought some substance and even improved the dialogue

Well, it took 8 episodes, but you finally got me to care about some of your characters.

And a blue hair girl who's in love with the protagonist, how could this go wrong? (Does Japan just hate girls with blue hair?)

Shikimori is a really good person. I think the last two episodes reflect a lot on the couple. Good episode.

This series has been sort of simple and straightforward so far in terms of storytelling, but I think they subverted some expectations pretty well. 
First off, ever since Kamiya's first appearance, it seemed like she was interested in Shikimori and when she had that reaction to Shikimori and Izumi dating, it seemed like she was jealous of Izumi, only for it to be Shikimori who she was jealous of. 
They also sort of subverted the vicious love-triangle trope with Kamiya and Shikimori actually having respect for one another and coming to a mutual understanding pretty quickly as opposed to dragging their rivalry on until the end of the season. However, the speedy resolution, while satisfying, does beg the question of who/what the next oppositional force is going to be for the remaining episodes... 

Side note: Kamiya kind of looks like Izumi's mom, only with a different color palette

Kamiya interested toward Izumi... She love him, but she knew she has 0% chance of winning. Every Kamiya fans keeps distracting her, no wonder she love quiet place, I'll stressed too with those lousy atmosphere.

I feel bad for Kamiya. Everyone "adores" her but noone talks to her because she's "too cool" for the peasants or something. Stupid kids, just talk to her like a normal person.

Man... what a wonderfully directed episode. Very strong episode. With just one episode, they made me love Kamiya more than anybody in this whole show. Damn... watching her cry hurt me. Best episode so far.

Wow... What beautiful sequence at the beginning. The melody, the art, the composition, the allegory... A short but beautiful scene.

And people last episode actually thought that Kamiya is into Shikkimori... of course she's into our bland and boring protagonist, what else lol

Izumi is such a good kid for staying the whole library time, I woulda left in a heart beat if there were only 20 mins and someone offered to cover it for me
I do feel bad for Kamiya though and liking Izumi but he's with shikimori san and her comparing herself to Shikimori.


Sum:
Kamiya and Izumi share their library time and we start to see that she likes Izumi but knows that izumi will never like her and also compares herself to Shikimori. Shikimori also asks to switch couples numbers with Kamiya so that she could be with Izumi. Kamiya has to put on a face during her own class event. Shikimori goes to return the couple number but in the end Shikimori ripped up the number and they both decided to just ignore it. they go to an after party and after shikimori and izumi go to a park and shikimori tells izumi to never change but izumi says that shikimori changed him for the better and izumi says he'll get stronger. He also gifts her the 1 year anniversary gift and birthday gift.

Another good episode, honestly I dont understand the rating for this series so far, after the first episodes, this has gotten better and better, and like this episode there was no part of the MC being unlucky and hurting himself blablabla.
Sure it is mostly very light but it works as a SoL and the studios doing this managed to animate Shikimori VERY WELL, like she is so expressive and I love what they do with her eyes and faces when said scene requires some emotions.

even if it seems unrealistic for some teenagers to handle these issues quickly and in this fashion (no drama, yelling, etc. etc.), i didn't dislike how the events folded, and the ending was sweet once again. If i could suggest something to Kamiya, don't watch Pretty In Pink. It's a pretty good film, but she could easily see herself in the main male character and suffer.

So glad Shikimori and Kamiya were mature about the situation. No useless drama, no one running away. Just a heart-felt conversation between two girls who love the same guy

This episode was bittersweet... Poor Kamiya, and she seems to be a really nice girl, but Shikimori is the best.

Ahh yes the cliche typical love triangle episode and tbh it was bittersweet man Kamiya is such a nice sweet caring character like damn man I feel so bad for Kamiya the one dude who doesn’t put her on a pedestal already has a girlfriend so she’s gotta take those feelings she has and throw them away soon or she’ll fall deep into the love pit and regret it even more I wish she had somebody tho bc everyone around her views her like she’s high status☹️☹️

Cute ending with Shikimori crying, like Izumi we’ve never seen her cry and tbh she looks adorable and funny when she’s crying I guess she feels that a person like Kamiya might swoop in and take Izumi away so she’s scared of that😭;(

Sure feels bad for Kamiya. She really likes Izumi and yet he is with Shikimori now. This love triangle kinda sucks. If its possible, they both can be with Izumi if the trope changes that is.

I'M SOBBING the moment between Kamiya and Micchon was so so wholesome! I felt so bad for Kamiya but Micchon was so mature and compassionate about the whole thing I can't help but admire her more!!!

And Izumi's really something else. I love it how Micchon was straight-up presented as a flawless character and Izumi has just "a guy with bad luck", like an unlikely couple but each episode we get to see why she fell for him and that he's just as amazing as her <3

Btw, I need to say this: I love the ending animation
