Wow, the transfer student COMPLETELY failed in his attempt to get back at his rival! Brutal! There's been WAY too little Arima in this arc.

Hate is Love and Love is Hate....I think I know where that is going.
Please don't feed the trolls!
In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student
carrying a piece of toast in her mouth

The first outfit Asapin tried on at the store was super nice on him. He's a cutie ><

Looking forward to the play. Kinda disappointed that certain parts of the story are getting abandoned and it's almost the end... like Shibahime and her "brother", I wanted to see more of them...

A pure comedy episode. It was fun (Yukino is always a bundle of joy and the transfer student sub-plot is entertaining too), but I can't help but feel that this series is going to have a really unsatisfying conclusion, like what ever happened to the main relationship this series is centered on? Arima has pretty much been a secondary character for the last few eps.

Aside from the obvious "Unit-01" reference by Yukinon, wasn't the soundtrack during the talk between Sakura and Tonami from Evangelion too? It sounded extremely familiar, but I can't remember the name.

That evangelion reference was hilarious.

Criticism is cheap. There are flaws in everything. No work of art will be loved by everyone. Now can everyone just chill?

Tonami needs to move on, nothing good will come out of his revenge.
Maho is now serious about the play, but there's still so much to do.
Feels like Arima is drifting away, that's not a good sign. Even Asaba is afraid of his reaction.

The awesome recap music is back!! seriously, I like it
Most of the episode deals with preparations for the play they want to stage. Yukino is in “getting things done” mode, showing off why she is an A grade pupil. The others are lucky to have her (and her connections) on board. We spend a lot of screen time with Yukino’s new circle of friends, the setup is very strongly slice of life.
One thing that annoys me about these scenes is Tsubasa. They completely flanderized her character. After the initial arc that showed her and Arima, and the one-off episode with her father, she has been reduced to a barely human dress-up doll/biting animal. In an anime that is otherwise stellar in its characterization, that irks.
Regarding the two longer plot elements, the revenge is still going nowhere. On the other front, Asapin knows that Arima has a problem, but atm, all is good.
My favorite moment of the episode: Arima making Yukino pedal. It is a nice inversion of the expected scene. And it makes sense, too. Remember that she is a sports ace and Arima just comes from training.

Really excited to see more from Arima and the relationship between Tonami and Sakura. The story progression is noticeably not as fast as it was in the early episodes

I just hope the new guy do not end up with Sakura, she was so mean to him...
Btw is Tsubasa a pet or something...?

Asaba looked ugly with those clothes... Tonami and Tsubaki confrontation was the most interesting part. i wanted to see actual rehearsal scenes with Yukino's sisters, they have been always amusing and never annoying
