Kaguya jumping scene was simply beautiful

The Maid cafe scene was so intense that it reminded me of Food Wars lmao.

Ishigami has successfully asked Tsubame to go with him to the horror house

Great to see those scenes of Kaguya and Shirogane when they first met and he fell in love, but what stroke me more was the middle part with the old aged man, they did a great job adaptating that.

And Maki is pulling no stops, her VA is so damm great, she along with Hayasaka are from my favorites among side characters.
Also Nagsa fucking jealous there!

I LOVE how they gave a tease for next episode's horror house, so funny!

Just revisiting what I think to be the best episode of the season. It just ended yesterday, and even though all the focus is on the last episode, for me, THIS episode was honestly the season's peak.

These 24mins are absolutely flying by and i hate it. The festival goes on as we everyone's story continues to unfold and we get some glimpse of peoples pasts.

Don't think I didn't spot that Fate Go summoning reference at 8:18. That layout and design is perfectly engraved into my brain to the point where I see it in my dreams. I also just did a 2hr coping and seething summoning session for Castoria's release on NA so that screen is perfectly lasered into my eyeballs. Spoilers though on the result


Cosplay café wasn't something I was expecting but it was good. Kaguya acting as a poster girl unsurprisingly rounded up a lot of attention. Kaguya standing her ground still when it comes to first class manners and perfection, even against Hayasaka but at the cost of time with Shirogane. Ah also the classic, you would've thought it was someone else for once, but it was him Di Father Shirogane. Also that scream at 16:00 was probably the most inhuman noise i think i have every heard Aoi Koga create, its what i imagine a small, magical flying creature getting hit by a 4x4 going 90mph on the motor way would sound like.

Some really nice backstory given to pre-student head council Shirogane which just made me think how we haven't really gotten a lot of detail about the main cast's first years before joining the student council. Old student council head really given me Ougi Oshino vibes from the quite inconspicuous nature they gave, but regardless Shirogane's episode of "how I met your mother" sure was a good one.

Honestly didn't think I could relate or sympathies with a character as quickly as with Maki. Being a third wheel is a curse i do not wish on any soul especially when you also want to try helping others with relationship advice because they think you know a lot since you spend time accompanying two lovers before it goes full circle and you remember how cripplingly lonely you are at every waking moment. Ganbatte Maki, ganbatte.

Ishigami my boy i'm cheering you on even if no one else will. He's gathered the courage to get this far, i can't help but keep cheering him on to the end like he's my own mate. But honestly, a horror house is probably the LAST place i'd ever want to confess to a girl in, but hay, what do i know.

WOOOOOAH THIS EPISODE WAS JAM PACKED!!! It felt like a half an hour.

Part 1, Miyuki and Kaguya's backstory, and the previous President, SUPER interesting lore.

Part 2, the maid cafe. I honestly found the coffee reviewer to be SUPER entertaining. I mean, his character design is hilarious. But I just found it so hilariously contrived, with such well-done dialogue. I actually laughed a few times.

Part 3, more best girl Ishigami scenes. I'm also kind of growing fond of the "mood swing" character, and found her offer of hanging out with Ishigami if he got rejected to be interesting. It's always nice seeing good things happen to Ishigami. Although for a second I was kinda hoping his invitation to his crush would somehow backfire and he'd end up pairing with someone whom he has more in common with. Idk how the manga plays out but I personally don't ship him with Iino hehe. Whatever the case, I reiterate, it's good seeing Ishigami genuinely happy. So this scene was a W. (And I found the dialogue between Ishigami and the three other side characters to be pretty interesting, too.)

This. Episode. Was. Jam. Packed.

I mean, all three scenes were so entertaining. The first was lore-heavy, the second made me audibly chuckle, and the third was Ishigami-centric. It's crazy how invested I am in this slice-of-life. I haven't felt this content with an anime since I began watching the medium around 2018.

They've finally adapted Miyuki's backstory regarding how he came to like Kaguya and his whole motivation to better himself and to be the President. The pursuit of love can take you to many places...

Whenever I see Nagisa and Tsubasa, it's an aggravation that I feel—especially being a manga reader. If you know, you know. Fuck Nagisa holy shit...

The scene with the middle-aged men and the coffee and tea was not just intensely amusing, but intensely heartwarming when the dude gets carried away and suggests something sweet and probably true about Kaguya: that her excellence at making tea is a labor of love for Miyuki. How amazing, to love or be loved via the refinement of one's craft. Also, tangentially, I must confess I resonated with that middle-aged man - I feel like I am at risk of turning into him one day if I continue down the path of coffee geekdom that I am currently on lol.

I'm also super happy for Yuu! I felt like I was right there with him on that emotional rollercoaster of asking out your high school crush. This show is awesome in general, beautifully executed. The production value is not just high for the sake of being high, but every detail seems to serve a purpose and help tell the story. Relatable and hilarious and emotion-evoking.

Edit: Ahhh I completely forgot that the middle-aged men were ramen kings! I'd thought the main one seemed familiar from somewhere but couldn't place where. That's so great.

We got to see past Miyuki get his lasting impression of Kaguya and ig that moment helped motivate him to become a better person himself, pretty good! I wonder how it would've went if that former student council prez never called out to Miyuki.

lmao what the, there was a weird poor greenscreen moment in this episode lolol.

Great episode once again lol.

Never ending plan to watch list...

It was great for Ishigami to finally and successfully ask out his crush, but I felt like that was the only thing that happened.  I mean, we also had a cosplay cafe and another visit of the Ramen Kings, but still...

Oh, now I remember, there was a flashback where we got to see how Miyuki fell in love with Kaguya and thus decided to become School President to be worthy of her.  Makes perfect sense, but I was surprised that Kaguya would jump in the water to save someone back then.

16:42 I should've confessed to my high school crush even if I was sure I'd be rejected—at least I would have no lingering regrets about it. I wish I had seen this anime back then, lol.

Woooh, you go Ishigami! Tsubame is indeed way above his league and I don't think they'll end up together, but still good for him. At first I shipped him with Chika, but now I'm not sure anymore.

Oh shit it's that typical cliche reason why anime characters fall in love, the "I saw her do some kindness so now I love her" wow very original, very unique. Anyway about that tea serving part, I did notice in their student council room that Kaguya is always serving Shirogane tea. That's probably how she perfected it.

A flashback... Oh, well, it makes sense considering how big this event is and how many episodes are still remaining.

Expected Shirogane to go save the drowning girl in the swamp, but it was her, Shinomiya. It was actually enjoyable to discover how he was a outcast at the beginning and wasn't convinced about the school in general (at his own age i've been there too, just without looks, talent and all the good things)

LOL, Hayasaka acting ditzy in her normal maid outfit, but at school. What wasn't funny, instead, was she humiliating Kaguya about coffee / tea making. Also, can we please move away from those two creeps right now?

Oh, no. When she thought the worst was passed, discount Careless Whisper starts in the background and Miyuki's dad appears.


Ishigami... i apologize for not having been completely convinced about you during season 1. Coming from someone old enough to be your father and missing out on everything at your own age without even a small fight... Whatever happens... Go. Do it. You got this.

Shirogane's father was drawn so creepy it was difficult to recognize him at first glance! lol

I look forward to Ishigami and Tsubame's "Haunted House" date.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Something about the romance in this show is just so captivating. When Tsubame agreed to go with Ishigami, I genuinely felt like I was going with my crush. Just a sense of euphoria. There's no doubt about it that Love is War gives the most accurate depiction of teenage romance, therefore it is the best.
