| As an anime-only, I of course have no idea what to expect, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the backstory we got today. I was aware that people were upset because a certain chapter 121 was not adapted in last week's episode- and now that it has been shown here, I understand why. We see the reason as to what made Shirogane fall for Kaguya- and it's nothing random at all. Through one bold and selfless act, Shirogane immediately recognized the beauty hiding underneath the ice queen's cold exterior. No, it wasn't because of something like "she's cute!" Shirogane, a true man, fell in love with Kaguya's character herself, a character that seemingly no one had eyes open enough to see. In other news, I think Maki just low-key became my new favorite character... |

| Back our boy Ishigami. Tsubame senpai wa maji TENSHI. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| The festival has begun and I’m loving it already. The backstory on how Shirogane originally fell for Kaguya was great, it was cool seeing the previous student council President too. I also love how Hayasaka was actually being herself at school with the maid outfit for the cosplay cafe, and then she can switch it off right back to her ditzy persona lol. The ramen guys are back again and they really got Kaguya flustered lol, and I love seeing Ishigami make a move on Tsubame and so far it’s working out, but she’s also really friendly so I don’t know if it’ll lead to a successful confession, love to see it tho. And Maki being a wingwoman of sorts was also nice. I’m excited to see what happens in the horror house next week! |
| Kaguya being Kagubased this episode. Ishigami also finally asked Tsubame-senpai out I am rooting for him. |
 |
| The backstory was really interesting and could make you full. Ghawd, also our boi Ishigami's having the time of his life. This is really GOAT, fight me. |
  |
| We as a species simply do not deserve this show. The best. |
| So many anime style changes I feel like all of them are references to other shows, but I have no idea what shows they were inspired from. :( |
 |
| ah yes papa shirogane back at it again |
 |
| Tsubame's eyes seem full of innocence. This is definitely ending badly for Yu. GakutoDeathGlare said: At this point, I think they're purposefully relating Papa Shirogane and Jojo with these intense scenes lol... The artstyle was also very Jojo. |
 |
| I really enjoyed the flashback with Miyuki and what he was like when he first joined Shuuchin Academy. His distaste with the noble students was pretty high, but you have to respect the student council president of that time which helped Miyuki when he needed it the most. Not only that, but it was the first time he really paid full attention to Kaguya, so showed no hesitation in jumping into a swamp to save a student who got knocked into it. The cafe segment was also great as well. The coffee connoisseur went into one when he didn't want Kaguya's services and Hayasaka didn't waste time in roasting Kaguya's rubbish coffee making skills. Thankfully, Kaguya struck back by using her expertise on tea making and make the connoisseur guy and his buddy praise it to high heavens. It made for a good laugh, but then the appearance of daddy Shirogane made me go into hysterics! XD While that was happening, Ishigami was having trouble asking Tsubame to hang out with him. He needn't have worried, as Maki arrived to help him. Even though she self-inflicts pain on herself when trying to encourage Ishigami, the adorable underrated gem herself was able to succeed in getting Ishigami to take that first step with Tsubame. It did involve a bit of extra help from Nagisa and her boyfriend, but Maki definitely makes for an excellent wingwomen here, that's for sure! ^_^ I look forward to seeing if it works out for Ishigami next time (and hopefully some more Maki screentime as well, please?). |
| Started off with a banger. There’s still parts where the visuals make things confusing (like when Hayasaka was talking to Kaguya in the backroom), but this felt like a return to form for this season. A lot of great moments. I’m hyped for the next episode. |
| Love at first sight, great to see how all of it started. |
| I always forget why Maki is so lovable till I see her chapters/episodes again. Too bad the Shijo curse gag will live on, hah. |
| Keep scrolling |
| Another great episode. Again I hope Maki finds happiness |
 |
| Wow I love this show! So Yu's asking out has worked... step one complete. Good for him. I still don't see that pairing working out, but I feel like this will be a good learning experience for him. And from the next, seems like President's dad has gotten a job? That feels like big news. |

The beginning of it all. We finally get the origin story of this story and, surpassing all expectations, it is one hell of a banger. Glimpsing into the past, we were finally shown adamantine bestest boy Miyuki's origination and bestest girl Kaguya's royal demeanor at peak in full force. The second-best episode of Kaguya-sama franchise... until now, and one for the history books. Start taking notes other writers, this is how you write a masterpiece. Sheer perfection. Now we go higher, higher than the Everest, blazing through the stratosphere, finally to the fucking moon. I already feel it, feel it coming. It's going to be orgasmic. AotY 2022 P.S. Maki Shijo is love <3 I'm too busy and into manga to watch full episodes of all ongoing anime, but I came straight here after seeing the adaptation of one of the most stunning moments in the manga into anime form. I'm so happy the Miyukaguya backstory hit just the way it did in the manga! I agree witheverything you said, so tell me, what's the other bet episode of Kaguya-sama? |
| What an amazing episode. Shirogane and Kaguya are so in love with each other. They're so cute. We also got a little bit of backstory on Shirogane. The part with Ishigami was my favorite where he was trying his best for Tsubame senpai. That was so wholesome and sweet. I feel bad for Shijo senpai. Yes, that hurts to watch but it is what it is. I'm waiting for their respective confessions. Also, Papa Dio is so amazing and cool. |

| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| Its not necessarily that asking someone out is hard, but simply that usually if you catch the person in a bad mood or something is not right then doing it half hazardly could make things turn sour vs if you know they are in a good mood. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Didn't care for Kaguya serving tea/coffee with those two critics, didn't find it funny at all. The rest of the episode was fantastic though, 6/10 for that one part, a 10 for the rest. |
 |
| START COFESSING ALREADY!!!!! |
| I never thought that a making a coffee will be so tense. |
| so this is where Shirogane was first fascinated to Kaguya when she dashed-out and saved the student from the swamp! he was enthralled to the beauty of "kirei-da' Kaguya-sama! But that i wanna know is how Kaguya has first fallen in love with Shirogane...hmmm... go for it my boi Ishigami! get your gal Tsubame!! lolz 5/5. |
 |
| Past Shirogane kind of has that yankee vibe, so he already knew Kaguya that early or at least seen her A true woman's beauty shows past dirt and Kaguya is stunningly gorgeous and cool so that's where Shirogane felt her indifferent aura having her hair down looks kind of cool too compared to today, Someone ticked her off lol she's so jumpy when they mentioned it's made of love. When there's an event like that I was bound to look for Miyuki's dad . Kind of took a liking to Maki makes the room more lively and entertaining, rare Ishigame dub we take those and I would like to see Kaguya inside the horror house preferably with Shirogane. |
  |
| LMAO the Daft Punks, the ramen guys and YΕ« running Tsubame! π |
| I love the ICE Kaguya tho, she's so COOL (even tho Kaguya saving the girl was a ulterior motive) But she changed after getting with Shirogane. Literal 180 degree change... LOL @ Hayasaka, the CHILLS ___ ___ ___ LOL @ Kaguya... literally measuring the Tea, cause she got dunked on by the dudes that said Hayasaka was superior at making Coffee. Which is true. Kaguya getting super flustered cause the dude was yelling the Tea is made of love. LOL Meanwhile the dudes realized Kaguya's "tea of love" is meant for Shirogane. Not only that, but da PAPA ARRIVED. ___ ___ ___ And on the other side of the playing field... we got Ishigami going in. Poor Maki, she can't get that NTR, but she can help Ishigami. Tho... I think Nagisa is about to go Yandere on Ishigami for being friends with both Maki and Tsubasa... ___ ___ ___ LOL @ that Haunted House... I sense Death incoming. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| The animation department was being overproduced, while the actual narration stayed unintriguing, especially the final scene. Also, the cliffhanger could have been easily avoided by relocating the opener flashback to the confession scene, Shirogane's perspective. |

Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| So that's how Shirogane became interested in being on the council, curious. Kaguya was able to prove that she could serve a good coffee, although there was a certain detail that San noticed xD. And well, Ishigami made it, he was able to invite Tsubame. Good chapter. PS: The final scene with the reference to the Blair Witch hahaha xD. |
| I forgot to previously mention I love Shirogane's dad, thanks to this episode my love was strengthened. Started off a little slow this episode, we learned some history, how long Shirogane has been falling for Shinomiya and his reasons for being president too. Old president was a shitter wasn't he? This part was pretty alright, nothing groundbreaking. The tea part with the Ramen kings was alright too, right until he drank the tea. Then it became great again, yelling about how the tea was made with love for a certain someone all while Shirogane was there. Shirogane saying the tea was great, that was sweet. Then papa Shirogane was fucking hilarious. Maki really is a great character, I didn't initially appreciate how funny she is. Everyone bounces off of her so well and she is so funny herself. Poor girl, those two being in front of her makes me laugh even harder and really feel for her. Her reactions truly are fantastic. I'm glad Shirogane managed to ask Tsubame, honestly I thought it was like a dream sequence or something with just how well it went but nope he never snapped back to reality cause it already was. The haunted house looks like it will be hilarious. Maki and Shinomiya haven't gotten to interact enough and they will be doing so in the confines of a haunted house, it should be great. I literally cannot wait, the horror house will be grand, |
       |
| THE BALANCE WITH BIG ROMANCE AND COMEDYYY UGHπππππππππ WHYD THEY HAVE TO DO IT SO WELL. good thing im watching this with no one near me bc i know i acted insane. esp with the new chara, old student pres(DUDE SUPER CUTE TOO!!!!), shirogane falling for kaguya, his dad showing up, ishigami taking a step forward with tsubame, DAMN im not ready with what's about to come after this |
| The backstory part with Shirogane when he first entered the school was really interesting, especially with the older student council president. Too bad Kaguya couldn't ask Shirogane out because she was busy with these old men at the café lol, they loved Hayasaka's skill too much xD Also looks like Ishigami finally managed to ask Tsubame to go to the haunted mansion with him but I have no hope for him to be honest. |
 |
| Maki is always fun (and painful) to watch. Maki is suffering. I really like their rendition of Tsubame-senpai. I love this pairing so much, Tsubame-senpai is also really cute ^^ looking forward to more Tsubame-senpai x Ishigami scenes |
