| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It sure didn't take long for this anime for a vacation episode on the beach. Then again, a nice summer vacation brings together everyone to have some fun besides just board games. A pretty chill episode even with some of the games they're playing. I'm jealous |
 |
| The kid doesn't understand it yet, but he's the true winner of this episode ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| No german game this time ? Impossible, I cannot believe it. They really need to play SEUM:Speedrunners from hell instead of this boring GOITA game. |
 |
| First time they are playing a game I haven't heard of before, and certainly a welcome change as I'm frequently thinking about ways of using game material of traditional games in new rule sets. Goita gives me ideas for some own creations~ Definitely my anime of the season so far. They've become a very enjoyable group of friends, and the character development also progresses nicely. |
| They should have more guest characters like takashi and less like that pink haired bitch from last episode. This episode was certainly refreshing. |

 |
| I'm glad this didn't end up actually being a beach episode lol |
 |
| This was a nice and relaxing episode. The girls sure enjoyed themselves in the inn by playing Goita. |
 |
| Weakest episode for me so far. I don't mind beach episodes in general but the girls in this don't do it for me in that way so I got nothing from the fan service and the plot was pretty bland. We got more of the "look how Miki has changed" stuff. But I felt like that well went dry last episode if not earlier. I liked the flashback of Miki not understanding the game and I felt for both her and the kid. Highlight of the episode. The game itself wasn't the most interesting which didn't help. Torn between 6 and 7 so keeping with 6 for now (still a good score with my system). More episodes like 2/3 and it would be an easy 7. |

| Wow this is like akagi but without majhong and without iq mdrrrrr |
 |
| GOITA looks interesting, I wish I could play it. The rules sound simple enough. I liked the development on Miki's character, and the warm moment with Takashi. Nice beach episode by the way. |

| Ah, the mandatory beachXonsen episode but a not so forceful one. Hot Midori is hot。 |
| . |
Now let me teach you a new game, Onee-chan. Ever heard of strip poker? |
 |
| DUDE I honestly think this is the cutest and most wholesome shit I have seen in my entire life. I genuinely get so happy watching this every week. Went out and got the manga, first 3 volumes last week and will get the rest over the coming weeks. Miki chan must be protected and nurtured at all costs. I love seeing how far she has come and developed. |
 |
| Awww Miki chan looked so cute in the swimsuit, would have loved to see a bit more beach screentime. It only lasted a min lol. Anyway Goita is an interesting game and good thing Takashi managed to win at least once. |
 |
| ok, nice vacation time. Though it feels a bit shameful to eat for free at the inn. >< enjoyed the episode, but had to drop the anime for now. Might pick it up again when I run out of things to watch. |

| Nice episode again. Beach time is always great. |

| No Eurogame? Impossible! I really liked the episode though, I love these girls. |
| Damn...did Midori always have those? |
 |
Damn, Midori's figure is just... Lovely episode overall but I'm jealous as hell of that kid now. He was the real winner all along. |
| Miki has started to walk out of her comfort zone, albeit slowly but with reassurance. And with that, the Afterschool Dice Club trio on summer vacation. But the beach experience was cut short by (plot pointer) bad weather. Game of the week: GOITA, and not Shogi. Sounds and looks like the latter, but given how many variations of Shogi there is, it seems interesting enough. How I see it is Shogi fused with Mahjong, but at a simpleton level. Hah, and that kid who joined at an opportune time, he's like Miki, the difference between skill and luck. To err is human, but with understanding it can be overcome. Nice episode really! A bit of a slow burner, but don't take it seriously and just relax is this show's intention. |
 |
| Beach + Onsen Episode but more focused on the game and character development aspects, great stuff! Interesting little kid for the episode as well, Miki and his partnership was really nice to see unfold. Miki-chan’s really grown so much, *sniff* *sniff* Midori’s “I don’t think I can sleep tonight bit” was hilarious, easily the lol moment of the year. Looks like we’ll be seeing a game-making Episode next, looking forward to it! |

| This episode was wholesome. Houkago Saikoro Club is slowly becoming one of my favourites this season. So, the girls went on a trip to Kanazawa. They stumbled upon GAITA, an old Japanese game. Miki's aunt was chill and she looked really happy that Miki has friends now! The last GAITA game with the young boy was nice to watch and they could finally visit the beach afterwards :3 I am looking forward to next week already! |
 |
| Miki with her hair clipped on is amazingly beautiful. Strong enough to distract me from Midori's nice figure. This episode is not about euro game, but a local game. It's a good thing to introduce japan game, especially a game that only play in few area. And don't forget how lucky this kid, surrounding with beautiful and sexy neechan. |
| Not even one episode can be in harmony ,, More males screaming misbehaving and pissing me off!! The most simple concept on this earth a cute girls show cant be done right!! I was hopping for some improvement but no,, But now Im done with the review and dont need any more information, done with this anime!! Next time do a cute girls show not irritating screaming male show!! Dropped 1/10 |
 |
| GOITA...lolz sounds like goiter! No Emilia yet? 4/5. |

Any source on where you got the idea from that it's a strictly cute girl focused show? The only thing I ever read is that the protagonists are girls, but no where did it ever say that there aren't any males, and the shounen tag further confirms that (pure cute girl shows are usually tagged seinen, if they have such a demographic) To be honest, I keep feeling bad that some people bash on the show for such unjust reasons :( |
| 6/10 So far for me this show is a bit of a hit and miss, some episodes have been good and kind of given me a similar feel as the anime 'Encouragement of Climb', while some other episodes have been straight up mediocre on the boring side, where i have to fast forward a bit to stop myself from falling asleep of boredom. In general the board games side of this show are not very interesting so can't really see this show getting much better, but guess i'l keep watching for now. |
| There it is! The token 5th episode onset/beach episode!!! Cool game! Nice slice of life vacation. |
| Without fail, the beach episode. |
| Miki is too precious, this anime sure managed to make me really attached to her. That was a fun trip, their beach plans got trolled by a sudden rain, but everything ended well after another interesting game. Miki saw the issues the kid was having and that push to make him continue changed what could have been a bad experience for him into a very satisfying victory after things started to click for him + her coordination. |
 |
| I feel like I have 10 IQ because I can't understand any of the rules for these games, lol, but I guess you have to play it yourself |
| umm that kid was the true mad lad he definitely took the W! |
 |
| Way too heartwarming and wholesome aww... My personal favorite moment was Mom being all worried about her daughter and asking her sister to look after them who then sent her the photo of them having fun at the beach and then Mom goes all "awww my little girl" and then crying inside from happiness <3 And the other part i super liked is Aya being all too excited for the beach even changing into swimsuit only to get hit by rain... and then throwing a tantrum followed up by a cheeky brat's tantrum. Haha, i loled. ALso seems like many people here think that the boy is the real winner... interesting, gogoanime thought that he was the brattiest of brats possible and that parents got him way out of control and there is no coming back, he just throws tantrums if anything doesn't go his way. Not sure who i agree with more... That this episode and anime is just super wholesome? that maybe? :D |
| Nice origin story of "Gamemaster" Takashi and how his passion started by playing with three schoolgirls. One day he will definitely become the king of games...one day! I like how so far each episode has someone new playing with the mc gang |
 |
| Em.. Why sleeping is hard in this situation, Midori?.. ;P Are you somehow touched by Miki?.. In which way?.. ;P Some swimsuits scenes.. ;P |
| Another good episode. Love the history behind this Japanese local game |
| This is your reminder to drink water 💦 or eat some fruit 🍒 🥝 |
| I couldn’t remember how they managed to squeeze a game into the beach episode, but they ended up getting rained out so that makes sense lol. I’m glad they got to go to the beach by the end of the episode tho, the girls had some nice swimsuits, and that little kid has no idea how much he was winning this episode lol. |
