Pretty interesting episode with some outdoor observation specifically the nature and drawing art.

It also feels like Akebi got closer to Ohkuma with their shared interests. Good episode, lots of sweet moments and I really appreciate the character chemistry.

Well, here it is, another wholesome week for Akebi-chan. This time around, we have Minoru Okuma who is fascinated by insects and animals. She's cute as well. So, she does research papers on them as well. Akebi-chan accompanies her but her sailor suit is not meant for stealth that's needed in observing the creatures.

Akebi is the most interesting person in this show maybe because she's the main character but the fact that every single girl around her wants to be her friend. She's that amazing and cute. Another amazing and cute episode.

Is it the new resident of the dorm? This dorm is located in the middle of the forest? no wonder I saw insects that I had never even seen in the rl. An episode full of flora and fauna knowledge, even the girl could catch a snake with her bare hands, truly a dangerous scene and worth to emulating. Blue eyes like the ocean, is it art like the vivy series, that Was so detailed like a robot? Idk. Good jobs vending machine-san, really like this loli scene lol. Oshiruku, using Hokkaido red beans? Never been to Hokkaido and is Hokkaido really famous for this red beans? I think Hokkaido only has good quality milk.

Is it an activity book? It look so cute. How do you paint a flower like that on a canvas? Isn't that hard enough? What? Didn't understand with this situation, lol. Stalker to stalker, huh?



It's true that there are too many beautiful girls in this rural high school... the biggest mystery in this anime. Is it a stomach ache medicine, or some kind of medicine to relieve nervousness? Really like that face, so cute. Is that a handkerchief?

They got a fucking snake out of nowhere in their classroom LMAO. New girl Okuma did well there. But well would say it was fun to watch Akebi and her doing things together in this episode, quite a fun pair they turned out to be.

Akebi’s just getting more and more friends now.

Akebi eager to help out as always, i liked the scene where she helped with the vending machine it was nice.
The other student with her observing hobby was a bit strange still nice to see them getting along tho.
I am looking forward to the other students story now.

What a bunch of girls making big fuss of a tiny snake, im a man and if i saw a snake in my class i would jump so high that i would probably break through second and third floor while having a stroke in a process, kids these days i tell ya ...

And of course the short girl has a problem with vending machine being too tall lmao, but thankfully Akebi is here to save the day. But man, the volleyball girl needs more screen time.

Damn the storyboard this week was crazy good, drawing during the first half felt a bit off however it picked up during the 2nd half and I wish they didn't cut the part where Togeguchi-san comforts Akebi for wearing sailor-uniform during the entrance ceremony.
Overall a very good episode hope they nail the school festival arc

Minoru Ohkuma, the new girl in the block, and being aware of Akebi's erratic personality, she can be wary to being a mere stalker, unless someone thinks in cahoots with her.

Having a kindred spirit with Akebi over observation skills, it's not hard to see that both her and Minoru hit it off well to observe the other classmates instead. It almost feels like a lesson on situational awareness for Minoru on Akebi's many quirks instead, while gleaming along with Minoru's own personality as well.

For Ayumi Togeguchi, if she didn't just had butterflies in her stomach, meeting Akebi is the next best thing other than her showing up in a sailor uniform, being as nervous like one another.

It's interesting that these character stories do not exist in the manga to flesh out much of the varied cast as possible, this is a good radical shift.

"Akebi Komichi has quite a bit of muscle."
"Shijou-san's chest is soft and warm like the bunnies in the pen."


Observing living things means watching them from an objective viewpoint and recording what you see. - Quote of the week.

This was a pretty enjoyable episode with Akebi and her stalker Minoru. They bond over the fact that they both like to observe and write in a notebook. And then set out to stalk others. Man, Akebi's quite bad at spying tho she did know all along that Minoru was spying on her.

During the episode, we meet another girl Tougugechi-san who is a bit infatuated with Akebi since her childhood. Her backstory was quite pleasant tho. Glad she managed to resolve it with Akebi.

Overall, decent episode and we had another beautiful still at the beginning with Akebi and her little sister playing in the forest.

Hmm looks like Ohkuma upon seeing Komichi back then had quite the magical moment. The detail into the animals here is just as impressive. Ohkuma really was brave in dealing with the snake. Given how quiet she seems its nice seeing her bonding that well with Akebi. Being short can be a real hindance sometimes but looks like Hotaru is trying to overcome her limits by herself. Man Ohkuma really takes his interest pretty seriously. Having an outdoor drawing class as well as such a large space for them to explore really is a great combination. To think that Komichi and Ayumi would end up reuniting after so long though. But another friend is always a good thing to have especially in school. Overall a quiet and relaxing ep but one that was full of learning and new experiences for Akebi as shet got to befriend more of her fellow classmates and learn more about the world around her.

Komichi is so kind, cheerful, energetic and positive. Completely unlike me. I'm seeing how shitty everything is, while she's interested, curious, friendly and sympathetic. Her classmates are distinctive from each other and she's contrastive from them. Every episode seems to focus on different students aside Akebi. This time it was inquisitive Minoru Okuma and nervous Ayumi Tougeguchi. Komichi seems to be in the Drama Club, but they haven't shown anything about it yet. She spent time stalking students and insects with Minoru. They were apparently assigned drawings to make. The protagonist is certainly above average in her drawing skills. The school seems to be a relatively nice place. Is she really running all the way to and from school? How many kilometers is that? Most of these schoolgirls appear to live in dorms I think. There was no fanservice this time, so like I wrote, it's an anime with not much fanservice, contrary to what some wrote. It's wholesome it can be said.

they skipped Erika san's chapters, which I expected in this ep 5 and it didn't happen. I'm disappointed. and this arc of this episode is shorter in the manga, they extended it to give a whole episode, Erika was much more interesting.

It's bugging me that even the bugs look fantastic in this show.

More friends made and this time it was a girl who loves observing Animals. While Komichi loves to observe her classmates, they decided to both go observe their classmates. I gotta say that the handkerchief scene was nice as well. It's funny how they didn't know they had both gotten into the same school and class, until the handkerchief came into play.

Pretty cute episode overall.

Great episode, it mainly consisted of Akebi and Ohkuma observing their classmates, which is something you probably shouldn’t do but it’s a cute SoL so it looks cute here lol, but I really liked the moments the two had together, especially at the end. I also liked Tougeguchi, a nice reunion between her and Akebi and I really liked her backstory, kinda relatable.

Another great episode.

This episode was focused on Ohkuma. Just like Akebi, she likes living things too and is not afraid to touch them and play with them.

I was surprised when Ohkuma just picked up that snake like that and Akebi and Ohkuma ended up talking due to that.

They were spying on people throughout the episode lol. I loved the Hotaru scene, she's so smol and cute xD, it was cute when Akebi picked her up so she can press the button on vending machine.

That conversation looked like someone was confessing lol, but it just ended up a request to be friends with someone, I mean damn.

Anyone noticed this observation lol

Turns out Tougeguchi was also observing Akebi from a long time as she wanted to return the handkerchief she borrowed from Akebi on the day of the entrance exam.

They went back to the original ED again.

Pretty enjoyable episode. 5/5. Looking forward to next one.

Also this episode was really beautiful too and got tons [22] of wallpapers. Seriously can't wait for the BD's to drop. Here's the link to the album. Cloverworks is delivering in every episode this season, animation of yesterday's episode of Sono Bisque was top tier as well.

Screenshot counter for this episode: 38. Same as last week...

Hot damn, two characters with meaningful connections with Akebi this episode, let's go. Ohkuma is a newbie in this academy and I guess like me she likes to observe the environment, Drew Durnil will be proud. And though she might not be that popular, she might know you when you least know it (perfect stalker material right there). And with Tougueguchi, she was saved by Akebi's kindness long ago, about time to finally bring back the deed to her (aka her handkerchief).

I liked last episode's ED but I guess we're back with the first one. Looks like some peeps are complaining that CloverWorks is at it again on skipping material, but for me I ain't, I'm here for the fun and joy this anime brings to me. More friendships, the better!

Observe and not intervene, such an important rule when seeking to learn more about nature... or about your schoolmates.

Somewhat harassing the tecnina,but it was interesting to meet more students from the school, so that the environment feels alive.

Akebi with her multiple abilities continues to make friends, a character that I quite liked because of her interest in nature to the point of calling them by her scientific name for species divisions.

Yeah the episode continue to be a sakuga fest. The bugs were so beautifully made, so i can't help but put it into my persocom wallpaper.

Anyway, Akebi-chan still caught more pokemon, i mean, her classmate, one by one. Now its literally her stal, i mean, observer, which met by a unique chance, and they both surely become more closer. To make everything more interesting, there's also one of her classmate that surprisingly had some unique interesting background too over their first meet with Akebi. Oh yeah, the entrance exam part, and Akebi wore pajama there xd. For the additional surprise, she's also quite stalker before and Akebi failed to notice it because she might be just too active wandering around xd. Thanks to the observer one, they caught her on hand...

Nice episode again, the episode heart-warming me with their 'stalking' activity before its reach to another wholesome part with Tougeguchi and ended sweetly with Akebi-chan accepted Ohkuma request. The ed sadly back to the first one, which honestly bit sad because i thought these episode looks quite special, at least for me....

So far I have hesitated about not knowing which anime of this season I absolutely like, I have to admit that the two made by CloverWork are my favorites, but this one comes first, I love it! Another fantastic episode, in which I don't know why, but I really liked the character of Tougeguchi Ayumi, even if his appearance was mostly an appearance, but his being so "normal" in a place where every character is like that. special, it made me seem as she said with her words: "That God exists and is kind, adding me, and normal like all living beings". Then the hardships of her during the entrance exam, brought me very close to her, since I am a damn anonymous and very normal person. Hurray!

P.S. Hesitation is my prerogative. XD

Idk how I feel about Akebi and her school uniform anymore. Like the inconsistency in animation is throwing me off and I am not a huge fan of it.
The second thing Is I kind of Dislike Akebi. She's Flawless and I don't like that about her.
The side characters so far have been way more interesting but Akebi is just...whatever.
It's not a bad anime overall but i find myself bored by it now.

Lol, this is a pretty classic format where the show talks about how the MC gathers friends, getting to know each of them in turn with each new episode. Have you ever watched a show about characters making friends? When the show will introduce all the main characters, it really become a series about a group of friends.

Yea though I feel that with this one it goes too much on sidelining characters completely in favor of introducing a new girl to just akebi instead of introducing them to the whole group. Which makes me think it will be weird when they do get together since they haven't spent time with anyone other than akebi. Hope that starts changing then.

Well, that's to be expected given that Akebi is just making new friends instead of being their actual friend by the start of the show. However, if I remember the manga well, at the end it just turns into "Akebi and Erika are the besties" with the rest of the characters as their circle of friends or just regular side characters.

Identifying the exact mechanism at play is eluding me, but I feel similarly. Overall I enjoyed the episode well enough, but it was probably my least favorite of the series so far (apart from the gorgeous shots of insect and forest art) and for me, going a step further, the contrast is even more unfavorable since it's coming off the heels of what was, I'd say, my favorite episode of the series - episode four (last week's).
