Great anime. Very entertaining just like last season. What I really hate is that I wanted to see the continuation of last season ending and the anime simply either skip it or start somewhere else

Very good first episode, pretty much back to the usual of the first season. Wouldn't have it any other way. I want to see that new character standing next to Ishigami in the OP.

Thats how you start a series... This is the reason why i love kaguya sama... So entertaining and fun to watch...

My fave part is the advice part of where nirvana will happen, and the board game part... Hahaha...

Love the first episode

Once I saw the high score yesterday, I immediately had this strange feeling, there was something unusual.

But I know now! I just checked through the toplist, and I realized there really isn't any anime in this genre(rom-com) even near a score this high

Seems like Kaguya-sama is the first one so far
It's strange seeing a rom-com with such a high score

Even so, sad to see that not many people talk about it. Not even 200 replies in this thread. Is it because this season is exclusively on "Fun"imation only?

English version:

Greatest first episode I've seen. I miss Kaguya-Sama anime so much.
Kaguya Shinomiya is come back and one of the best girl! Opening song is great choice in this anime Season 2. So entertaining and fun to watch.

The board game is most likable and wholesome I've seen.

Dutch version/Nederlandse versie:

Beste eerste aflevering die ik heb gezien. Ik mis Kaguya-Sama anime zo erg.
Kaguya Shinomiya is teruggekomen en een van de beste meiden! Het openingsnummer is een geweldige keuze in dit anime-seizoen 2. Zo vermakelijk en leuk om naar te kijken.

Het bordspel is het meest sympathiek en gezond dat ik heb gezien.

After SAO got delayed to July thanks to Covid-19, I was really worried about whether Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War would suffer the same fate.

Thankfully, it didn't, so this first episode of the second season felt extra special. =)

The animation quality from A-1 Pictures is top notch once again, and the amount of funny moments from this episode alone was off the charts. They even threw in a freaking Thomas The Tank Engine reference, too! XD

I think my favourite part of the episode had to be Chika's board game. Kaguya had too many reaction to count that left me laughing out loud or had me wanting to comfort her when she couldn't marry Shirogane in the game.

The new OP song, played for the ED for this episode, sounded super smooth and upbeat. For me, it matches the previous OP, which was already an excellent song in itself.

All in all, my most anticipated Spring show gets off to a flying start. Who know if this season will eclipse the first season, but either way, just as long as it entertains me the same way it's done before, then I can't ask for anything more. =)

What a brillaint opening episode this was, not just one of my favourite episodes of this entire show so far but one of my favourite episode 1s of all time. Some really good chapters chosen to start us off and the direction as strong as ever. Even having read these chapters in the manga, this episode had me rolling with laughter, and I can't wait to see what other chapters get adapted.

And the OP is an absolute banger once again.

I feel like Shinomiya is out of character a bit. Seems more desperate for love and attention than the first season. I believe the director/producer will emphasise this more throughout this season though. Can’t wait for the next episode XD

I'm glad this series is back! This first episode was funny from start to end, I have been laughing most of time.

The Chika's game was almost done completely by her haha, as she did all the events. And looks like Ishigami found it funny despite being eliminated in the first turn.

nah shes in character its just the adaption is adapting some older chapters when shes less chill. Thats the one kind of ehh thing about this adaption is shes meant to be alot more calm after fireworks and stuff like her training ishigami was after that too but adapted before.

Thankfully theres really not much left from pre foreworks anyway

Is it just me or did Chika's voice change very slightly? I know her VA is still the same, but it sounds different from how I remembered it. Well, nevertheless! This first ep is going right into the story pretty quickly, although it starts off with a simple ep. I like how they adapt the scene where the student council members peeked on Nagisa and Nagisa's boyfriend (his name is a spoiler), especially when Yu and Miyuki got pissed off at Tsubasa's show-off ish attitude.

The OP is catchy! And it has the same kinda vibes as Love Dramatic! YES! Although the chorus and jazz are less dramatic, I feel that it's still a great OP! Although I could confidently say the visuals are more vibrant in the first OP. Welp, I love that arrow sequence tho!

A great way to start the season.

Chika's boardgame was fun and I liked Hasayaka's little intro at the beginning. Let us not forget Ishigami, he is still hilarious.

I totally forgot how cute Kaguya can be. That angelic smile.

Hayasaka has some dangerous tools in her disposal... Particularly in combination with her (physical) prowess.

It was nice to see the return of the student council in its entirety. Nothing has changed since we last saw them and that is for the best.

Kaguya was cute and Chika still has a way with words.



I am looking forward to finding out more.

My Adorable Kaguya is Back!

But considering where we are at the manga right now, the Black Hayasaka was a great way to start the season!

This was a stellar episode. Absolutely stellar. Loved every second of it! They have really captured the greatness of this story in the first episode. And the Opening theme is A-Amazing!

My personal favourite part of the episode was board game adaptation! Cannot wait to see the Table Top Club making more appearances in the future and not just the introduction!

Are we going to see Iino in the next episode pretty please? I love her so much and I cannot wait to see her appear!

I will just overlook FUNi's not so funny translation.

5/5

The game is just starting! Best part of the story is ahead us! Get hyped!

Great stuff. I had a stupid grin plastered on my face the entire time. Modern comedy anime generally don't make me laugh or even just amuse me nearly as much as older anime, but this show is an exception. Visual effects are superb and the characters are just so expressive! Looking forward to the rest of the season.

I liked the first season. I expect to have as much fun watching the second.

I might be the only one, but I couldn't bring myself to like Ishigami. Something about him... rubs me the wrong way. Hopefully I grow to like him.

I don't know why I'm just realizing this, but the romance aspect between Kaguya and Miyuki is... kind of stupid. Really stupid actually. But it's the only way the concept and it's comedy works. I wonder if it ever gets serious between them.

No spoilers of course, but I believe you'll be satisfied with this season on both of those fronts.

As a reader of the manga, I can say that the series continues to go up going forward. Season 2 will blow season 1 out of the water, and that's saying something.

Hayasaka introduction was so damn awesome an hilarious!

Chika is also back, with her crazy games!

It was impossible not to laugh in every scene, so damn hilarious!

Kaguya is still cute, and her reaction towards Shirogane's birthday date was so awesome!

Can't wait for more of this!

The animation quality, as expected, is still amazing.
Voice actors are back to give as the weekly dose of enjoyment we need in our lives.

No such thing. At this point in time of the anime, Kaguya, Shirogane and Fujiwara are second-years. Ishigami is a freshman.
