Only 1 episode to wrap this up? Didn't get to the plot until the end.

It's getting to the point where Ichika stupidity is unbearable.

When the annoying blue haired girl appeared i thought this is going to be another annoying episode but it didn't turn out to be so bad, it was reasonable.
Let's hope this time the main really did get killed in the cliffhanger.

It's been a while since i saw a Kyoto school trip in a anime shamefully that city is waisted on a anime like this.

Ahh another frustrating episode because of ichika's dumbness. Well, that's one of the characteristics of the protagonist in a harem.

Woah, no fan service this time...

Kanzashi-san only got the best time here, carried like a princess. hahaha

Dat cute Laura... It's the first time she showed that face.

Dat cecilia, hahaha I lol'd at her picture. And only houki got a decent photo, and with ichika too. But how sad, the camera was lost hahahaha

And who's that Orimura Madoka, she's bugging me since she showed in season 2.

Dayum Last episode this December 20...

I'm glad this has 1 episode to go because it has been constant shattered expectations from episode 1, there has been next to no plot, pointless antagonists with no explainable goal other than to kill the Orimura's and nothing is more annoying than pointless antagonists, well maybe goober characters who constantly get beaten to a pulp ie. Orimura Ichika

Sometimes I get the feeling that IS2 was made as some kind of experiment to see how dense they could make a MC, and still have people watching. Count me as stupid.

I don't think IS3 get's made to be honest. This season has been a huge letdown compared to IS.

There is most likely not gonna be a winner anyhow. There might be some romantic ending however. I believe, Im not 100% sure, but I think that Ichika and Houki are gonna go on a date at the end because of the tickets that they received. Or are they leaving that out? Idk wat do u guys think?


They already did the post date scene, kind of, so it's hard to say. I'm expecting a Houki x Ichika something for the final, since they spent most of the series on other girls.

I wonder how the Japanese feel about Ichika... Personally I don't see why he can be this dense. By the way he reacts to the girls H scenes he seems straight, but then quickly goes back to his usual dumb self. He's not bad looking so it's not like he lacks self confidence. Being the only straight male in a school full of girls would make any normal guy howl at the moon (among other things). He may be siscon, but it doesn't seem like he is really crazy about Chifuyu so even that may not be the case.

Someone mentioned Boku Wa Tomodachi earlier. You can't really compare Ichika to Kodaka. Unlike Ichika, I was actually able to understand why Kodaka was acting like that with girls. He never had friends and that's why he was afraid that showing affection to one of the girls would ruin the whole club thing they have going.

In conclusion, there is not enough backstory/character development for Ichika to justify his ways.

3/5

The story has so many blunders, we pass by things well architected to forced and nonsense epic.
Plot that shows very little, technically does not shine for continuity, the drawings in the version seen on TV are horrible, I hope you do something for the BD, although the basic IS2 is again mortified by this harem often very poor.
Only time I smiled was when Laura thought of the cakes in the shape of rabbit!
Let's see how this season ends! ^ ^ "

nah they just cut it out, Ichika goes to the restraunat with her where he meets the leader of phantom task kind of like in this episode, not much more to that other than that meeting.

Will IS have another season or will they just send the phantom task and squeeze everything into one ep?

2 points

- give or take the most important light novel plots were covered
-Ichika meets madoka and gets shot, meets and befriends Tatenashi and her sister, the the play/school festival, tatenashi fight vs member of phantom task, Phantom task meeting Houki's sister and finding out that she is pretty gar

- the only two things that stand out that they haven't covered are ichika and crew getting trapped in some weird virtual reality simulator, and Ichika meeting a scientist who I think knows Chifuyu who takes data on IS, oh and Laura apparently has a "sister" or another girl who underwent the same procedure as she did and is Houki's sister assistant

-regarding a second season, the extended cut of episode one sold over 20,000 copies alone so sales should not be an issue for a 3rd season, but of course they need more light novels first, also they might have to retcon part of season 2 or maybe the creator had input on the anime, and they might cover some of the next light novel before it comes out in the last episode

I don't think I've seen a MC more dense than Ichika xD Laura's little fantasy of the wagashi was adorable :D Anyways, it seems the trip was at Ichika and Houki's old home.

I feel like next episode is going to be rushed. I don't read the LN but it seems like a lot is going on and I don't know how they're to get it all in on one episode without cutting some parts out and squeezing things together. But I hope we at least get to see Chifuyu in action next episode. I've been waiting to see her fight since forever :S

Ahhh okay, thanks for telling me. But Chifuyu does have a fighting scene in the LN, right? Although I'm not sure if it's against Phantom Task or someone else.

They've wasted a whole episode just for Ichika's harem thing.

Like this is the first time.

The last few minutes of the episodes always heat up after it being pure filler, then somehow the next one goes back to pointless filler as if nothing happened. Watch the last ep be rushed as fuck.

Again, filler stuffs is a waste of time. They should actually try some real character development instead of the generic filler material. Focus on the plot and less filler would be good.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I kept telling myself this whole season that the reason I'm still watching is because Charlotte is the most adorable thing ever..
Season 1 was at least somewhat enjoyable but this??! I think I just went brain-dead. This anime is painful to watch. Takes me DAYS to finish one episode.
But I'm too stubborn to drop a show that I'm almost done with.
If there is a season 3, I'm sorry Charl, but I won't be watching.

Down the cellar we go... Luckily it's only one episode left of Ichika's denseness.

The first season was an 8/10 in my book, this one is 4-5/10. Impressive how they fucked up this so much.

Lame episode....

All of those IS pilots on the train and noone thinks about calling there IS to stop it?

The spider bitch misses Cecilia and Houki why? So she can talk about stopping them just to not stop them in the last episode?

Madoka doesn't just go after Chifuyu on the train but instead goes after Ichika saying she is going to kill after skipping the perfect chance just to kill him...

Seems the creator of this and many others need to take a note from books/shows like Game of Thrones... no one is safe... NO ONE!

Also, WAY to damn many cliches' in this anime. Caught myself rolling my eyes in EVERY episode... Plus kids these days aren't as dense and prude as Ichika is.

This is about the same as a kids show (good guy pulls through in the end after getting his ass kicked) that tried to be mature (ecchi added).

Wow, I must say that the direction of this Anime (season 2) is really bad, sorry. Everything is almost a mess =_=. They introduced Tatenashi and many episodes are focused on her, and now that the problem with Kanzashi is solved, they stopped showing her (That scene where Kanzashi immediately tried to return Tatenashi on the bag and in the truck was hilarious though). They introduced Madoka and then in the next episodes they rarely showed her, they did show her this episode, but it's the fucking last episode next for fuck's sake =_= Oh well, I just watch this for fun and for the girls anyway.

Those sceneries are really beautiful.
Cecilia should have slapped Ichika for doing that with the camera. Man, Ichika is really stupid, isn't he?? Don't worry, girls, I am coming.
Ohhh Laura, you never fail to amuse me ahahaha.
I guess Houki won judging by those flashbacks and that picture.
Well, let's see the last episode.

In Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Kodaka is some what on par with Ichika in how he responds to his fellow club members feelings towards him such as when it might be a date accidentally everyone is invited, loose compliments taken deeply by the girls, favoritism towards one makes the pack jealous with rage, and so on. However later it is revealed Kodaka was not that stupid and was acting due to his fear of losing the bonds he created/restored if he picked someone.

Ichika in this episode he puts himself in multiple situations where one is singled out and the group hate him and whoever he is with until they are included, leads Charlotte into a situation where she says my favorite line "Ichika no Ecchi!", brings out the adorable side of Laura, and so on. Roughly 60%+ of an episode is stuck repeating the same situations( Tatenashi is straight forward and I was hoping for something solid but all I got was her being replaced by her sister...?) and trying to avoid advancing the plot it seems. I enjoy the girls' personalities, the fights when they happen, and his intentions of being a stand up guy but I see him hooking up with Chifuyu-nee before anyone else.


Dude, I really hope that Ichika is just acting, because he is stupid as shit.

Kanzashi and Ichika put Tatenashi back in the bag and send her off xD
It surprised me that Ichika actually went along with it.

Madoka again appears and this time she wants to take Chifuyu's life.


The harem was ok, Laura's throwing that knife was pretty good.
