This episode was cute as fuck. My goodness the Sakurai and Kazama scene were so fucking cute.

The "She's mine" moment was cringe but the fact that Kazama knew it was cringe made the scene so much better.

AND

She called him by the first name... GET MARRIED PLEASE!!!

Finally! After a long time, we get to see Doga Kobo get some W's again with this series. I never thought Doga Kobo would reach these levels of wholesomeness! This episode was hella cute especially Touko and Souta's date. Kazama getting huge W's as well. If the studio keeps this up until the last episode, this anime might end up on my top 10 Anime of 2021.

Better than the 2 really boring/annoying episodes. But it feels more and more a generic school rom-com. Why exactly do they have to be adults? Where are the work releated challenges? The first 2 episodes really showed them there. Now we just have visiting each others house and doing akward dates. Why not put them on a work project which needs them to go outside the comfort zone?
It fell 2 levels behind Ore Monogatari and even that show had some length.

I know this word has been used a million times already when describing this series every week, but it still remains the best way to describe what I think of this episode overall...

...Wholesome! =3

The date that Kazama and Sakurai had was sweet. Sakurai's outfit (White polo top matched with a lovely above-knee skirt) suited her perfectly as she and Kazama had a nice time at the aquarium, topped off with the dolphin showcase where they saw a dolphin that looked like Kazama and was named after him, too. XD

Although the "ask a girl out for tea/food" trope has been done to death, it was used with great effect where Kazama was able to get Sakurai away to safety, but only after smoothly declaring to the other guys that Sakurai was his. To top it off, he gave her the Souta dolphin plushie as a gift, which in return, she quietly thanked him while using his first name.

This episode wasn't all focused of those two, though. Futaba and Takeda had a nice day out hanging together, from watching T.V at Futaba's apartment, going out to eat ramen and finally hanging out at the arcade where Takeda successfully won a cute kitty plushie for Futaba. It's obvious that they were having their own date without thinking of it as one, but seeing the two of them having fun made me smile all the time without fail. ^_^

this show remains ultra cute, really well made. It knows exactly what it is, and does the best possible version of that.

I do feel incredibly bad for Sakurai, who kinda is cursed by beauty because dudes just keep harassing her! though these guys seemed ultimately more to be tea evangelists than anything else. still, I think it gets at something, which is that being pretty, while it has benefits, also has huge downsides.

but she doesn't mind that Kazama looks at her a certain way, because he always treats her well and has her back. he might get jealous, but he never takes it out on her, just has his own little quiet meltdowns. and she definitely knows that if she isn't proactive with him nothing would ever happen, lol. the poor guy is just too awkward. but that's part of his charm, he wouldn't be so adorable if he were smooth.

Golden Week? Man I'd rather have a vacation with my family instead of going to a mixer. Mona as usual scared the heck out of me because she's basically the girl who came out of nowhere and she looks like she's about to smack out a Hijikata :V Ooo Sakurai and Kazama going on a date at the aquarium? Noice, also love Sakurai's clothing, that's what I want to wear on a first date tbh and woah Kazama protecting Sakurai from the bois is so cute :3, also love the chibi that Kazama imagined to make himself the best boy to Sakurai lolol also Futaba watching horror scares me but glad she turned off TV during the part where the suspense is about to spark in :D! Woah Takeda is very athletic now I get why he is a fit big chungus, aww Futaba crying is the most adorable thing, I can relate to her if I were to watch something scary since I have nothing to do :(

I'm really curious, does Sakurai have feelings for Kazama or does she just want to visit the aquarium with a discount? Wondering about that though there isn't yet any hints where both of them become officially a couple, lolol so I know for the fact that Futaba is into animal films but every time there's scary animals against cute animals she just screams love it because I thought she would be mature enough to overcome these type of animals xD. Omg there's a dolphin who has the same name as Kazama but woah the dolphin appearance and behavior does have a similar trait as Kazama :0

Man I wish I have someone to go on a ramen date with me during Golden Week because I need some refreshment :3 LOL I also want the "Souta '' dolphin plush xD and woah basically Futaba and Takeda took them one hour straight to get a cat plush? Damn that's some perseverance! OH NO Sakurai is getting hit on boys this is bad, why'd Kazuma leave her? This is so stupid like yk the girl you liked is gorgeous and beautiful as heck and she'd likely get hit on by some random stranger anD OMGGGGG KAZAMA REALLY SPILLED OUT HIS FEELING AND ADMIT IT but as he stated that it's a reference from a shoujo manga, that feeling felt realistic I'd say :)

Looking forward to the next episode!

Pretty good Episode about the Group during their Day-Off.

I would be lying if the reason I keep watching this show isnt about the relationship between Kazama and Sakurai. They're so cute and get along together, and this Episode take the cake for that... Really sweet Episode, watching Igarashi and Takeda is more like a comedic couple to me but both couples has great chemistry.

Gigachad Souta once again made my day and also jumped several steps at once in a relationship with Sakurai including the fact that he was just himself in the past, present and future.

It's been 20 years since I've been on a dolphin show and touched once nose, oh anime, why you constantly putting me through the trips of memory lane.
I hope in 20 more years I'll still be able to emotion about simple stuff and won't become a soulless two-footed blindman.

Well...another cute and fuzzy warming episode!!! Futaba did her chores well like a capable woman, but still she can't help bring Takeda into her home cause she's scared of horror stuff. And hey at the end, he won her a plushie which costed Takeda a lot of monie. Yeah that was cute, but Sakurai and Kazama's date were much more better. They watched dolphins swimming around, had some good ramen before that, and another save by our boi from those assuming males. I was so frantic seeing them, they're so cute. I really hope they confess to each other, because they're already teasing me so much here!

As I'm typing this, the first minutes of December of this year has already begun, meaning that this is the episode I leave November with. The past month wasn't all that good and cheery, but after watching this, I just left the month with a big old smile on my face. Entering the Holiday season with a mood like this is a very good plus, thanks to this series who's doing the right job!

Aww man, those parallels with Futaba the horror story.

Souta swings between suspicion of Touko and guilt for having such thoughts. But they finally open up when he protects her from those two men.

I'm thinking that Kazama and Sakurai a much better couple than the main couple in the anime.
Kazama at the end of the episode was really funny, as was the dolphin part.
I hope there are more episodes focused on Sakurai and Kazama.

Almost an entire Kazama and Sakurai episode. I love that innocently mocking laugh, it reminds me of Takagi-san.

Threatening stare. I'd buy one.

And that "Hey look, an UFO" among the wholesomeness of Souta protecting Touko was pure gold, no wonder why it's called golden week.



Best episode so far, no doubt.

The anime is really cute so far, but for some reason it feels like there is no setting/story or a real plot yet. We don't know much about any of these characters yet. It's all about interaction, so this anime could be easily playing in school or wherever as well so far, cause there is nothing going on in-between or in the world itself. I like the love story of the supporting characters much more as well, which is normally not the best in an romance anime. Still a decent 7.6/10 fo far, depending on the ending it will get a 7 or 8 in the end

Futabas "♪ I forgot the words... ♪" is relatable. Fun detail.

I like how can Futaba and Takeda just hang out in a natural way. I like them a lot!

I'd like to see a little more of Mona. She seems odd and fun but since she only appears for tiny segments she just comes of as strange to me.

I know anime isn't real life but still, it must suck to be a pretty girl in Japan. If you stand by yourself creepy guys will show up and basically force you to hang out. Good thing Cringy Kazama saved the day!

Hey there, I'm just fulfilling my duty as an avid South-american mate drinker to remind you that mate is actually really tasty, good for you, and a bonding ritual for anyone who shares it.
Don't mind those clowns that tried to harass Sakurai. Just enjoy mate.

Wow, first I felt bad for Futabe for being stuck in a child's body and never being taken seriously. Now I feel bad for Sakurai, who can't seem to go anywhere without being approached by strangers or co-workers. The curse of being beautiful I guess.
There are other enjoyable moments. It's a little bland -- I've seen more interesting slice-of-lifes. But this show is very very relaxing. And it's a nice look at everyday life in Japan.

The Futabe/Takeda moments were cool as always. I personally enjoy it more than the Sakurai/Kazama moments, just because they as supporting characters are a bit flat. But I'm vastly in the minority, as most people seem to enjoy Sakurai/Kazama over Futabe/Takeda.

And yeah...
How is Takeda such a perfect person. And how are chicks not flooding to him. He is the ideal guy in every fathomable way.

This is the most relaxing episode by far, everyone is just chilling with their time off during the golden week. Kazama and Sakurai are lowkey dating, though they have yet to claim it as such. Nevertheless, it's a date indeed. A nice peaceful day in the Aquarium with a little action from Kazama at the end of the day there. After all of this, they should start making it official already!

Meanwhile, Futaba is really out here being a capable woman, when others usually just laze around during a week-long holiday, she's already breaking a sweat on doing her house chores, literally wife-like qualities. Though in the end, she got to hang out with Takeda, even if it's nothing special, it's fine regardless as she said it herself.

Considering Sakurai always declines other guys from asking her out, its a true 5head move by 'lucky dolphin' Kazama to not give her any choice by saying 'lets go to the aquarium' and that she's his.

Sakurai and Souta are just way too precious! Him saving her from those maté bros was seriously so cute. And the way they both got so embarrassed? So adorable haha. They better make it official soon!

Igarashi and Takeda hanging out was also really cute. I hope their relationship progresses. It’s hard for me to sense how Takeda feels about Igarashi but I guess I’ll have to wait and see what happens. Anyways, looking forward to next week’s episode! These eps really seem to fly by fast.

Japan appears to have some sort of epidemic with rando guys approaching and hitting on girls who're by themselves. And anime never depicts them as being anything but pushy. It'd be one thing to take your shot, get turned down, and then move on. But it's very odd how aggressive some of these guys are.

Anyway, pretty good episode. Seems like Kazama has pretty much solidified his ship. Takeda needs to catch up.

And these are so cuteeeee

More and more proofs of this show being your another run of the mill degeneracy, with Takeda being the only bright spot. And even he's predictable sometimes, but I guess it's to be expected from a slice-of-life.
