Great episode! This show is really a fun watch. I can't get myself to like Machi though, so annoying.

Ok, that glasses girl is annoying. But she'll join the group at one point, OP say so.

The shop dude was so fucking hilarious. Looked scary, ended up being a sweety.

Did Yaya got on a date with Hana..? She was so much into it that she forgot Naru x)

The new future member appears! And she's a bitchy student council president. She must be having a period everytime she hears about Yosakoi.

I know Stud. Council Pres are usually annoying, but that bitch is really getting on my nerves.

The episode was good nonetheless, this anime is getting better(or I'm just getting used to it). I guess I'm looking forward to it at this point. The time Yaya spent with Hana went really well, though Hana is still annoying to me.

Megane girl is a lie because she looked so cute and bubbly but it turns out that she is fucking sour.

Madhouse visuals aren't up to snuff here and i'm getting worried because the episodes are slowly tricking away and still no significant dancing.

I kind of like Hana (especially Hana-kun) but she does talk a little too much...

Bald guy stole the first half of the episode btw.

Ugh Hana can be really annoying sometimes though =/.

Can't really see why people find Hana annoying. Cringe-worthy, yes, but annoying? Not so much. Is it the genki-ness?


Probably. Also the high pitched voice + non-stop talking and naive positivity.

I generally dislike loud, talkative and obnoxious people (in reality and fiction) but I don't mind Hana as a character. Everything she says and does is a form of pure innocence with a sense of self-awareness at the same time. She's an emotionally balanced and intelligent character.

You'll find that peoples tastes in Tropes can be very specific, and many (younger) peeps tend to dismiss or strongly dislike characters based on the slightest of nuances. It mainly comes down to what qualities you can appreciate or identify with. I've found that my tolerance has increased with age ;_;

7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Yakuza looking store manager was a fun guy. Although, the little lesson on Yosakoi he gave bored me a bit for some reason.
Hana weeaboo-ed out a little too much in this episode. I don't find her annoying though, only her high pitched, loud and squeaky voice. And what the hell kind of name is Fountainstand anyway?
Also, it looks like we have our main plot now. Recruit two more members and perform in whatever the name of the Yosakoi festival was. Kind of like Love Live.
And man, these girls blush a lot.

Perhaps it is too exaggerated in the utterances, but the episode is funny, even without Naru.
Narration sympathetic and constructive, the plot benefits from going forward, I like it!
Design very cute, and well animated, I noticed a progress of the story, I hope you do not lose with trivial choices.
Curious to find out how to solve the problem created in caussa of the student council.

Just had my second viewing of Episode 3. EP 3 is one of the more comical episodes.

Hana's tendency to say exactly what's on her mind regardless of consequences is pretty funny. She quickly charms Masaru, and even wears down Yaya after awhile. If you're irritated by Hana that means that the staff are doing a good job. Hana is supposed to be irritating and a social incompetent.

Hana's abrasiveness is part of her charm, as Yaya thinks to herself while they're having lunch together. On top of that, Hana is a well-meaning character. She wants to dance the Yosakoi not only for herself, but also to help Naru. Naru is too lacking in self-confidence to advocate for the club, so Hana takes up the slack, though not too successfully at first.

Oooh, that Student Council President...wait did I end up in
Love Live! School Idol Project by any chance?!
But it's really hard recruiting new members especially with the new requirements and prohibitions. And they're not really helping... teasing us with the fantastic opening.
The scene in the yosakoi shop was really good. The mutual understanding between Hana-cchi and Aniki!!

That's what I was thinking, too. I'm seriously getting a Love Live! School Idol Project vibe from this.
That Yosakoi Managaer dude was the coolest character I've ever seen!

I like the manager guy.

This episode was a bit better than the others because Naru wasn't quite as gloomy and depressing. Hana could stand to tone it down a bit though and Yaya is still just annoying AF.

Nice James Bond beginning, hehe.

Hana is so adorable and energetic.

Poor Naru, though. Her date was cancelled and this time it was her turn to be jealous. Their parts were changed. x3

Wonder, how often narukos are used in yosakoi.. Well, as sometimes you maybe choose not to use them, and use something else..
This guy is pretty chill and kind..
I wonder, if yosakoi and idols actually share some of the target audience.. As I feel that maybe they have something of the close appeal?.. Not necessary, of course.. More wondering..
Eh, I would on the contrary like if more people would just wear kimono as the casual outfit in all kinds of days.. Hana's kimono was quite cute..
