----------------------------------------
Mai is getting cuter to watch with every passing episode :D

Got a Groundhog Day vibe from this episode with the repeating events. Also got some focus on Tomoe this episode. I don't like her much but feels like she is an important part of the series.

Lying about things often creates more trouble than it's worth and i guess this will be no different seeing as Sakuta already has some things to explain to Mai.
And seeing as the new girl wants him to lie.
That being said it was a funny episode.

So, the plot is same with Bakemonogatari...
Save all girls from a "syndrome" and create a harem, lol. I think the main heroine is still Sakurajima Mai, same position with Senjougahara in Bakemonogatari.
Nice to meet you.......

Groundhog day scenario gone awry.

I started linking the new girl Kouga, but ended up unhappy with her selfishness. Doesn't she realize that he basically is running the risk of ruining his relationship with Senjou...sorry Mai so that he can help her in what is basically a non-existent problem? The other dude is not gonna ask her out after seeing her like that

Its nice that Mai's back in school. Mai's sure is cute when she's embarrassed. But a time loop huh quite a tricky problem. Despite her quiet nature Tomoe actually thinks pretty far ahead. Hmm an interesting episode that introduced a new mystery while formally introducing Tomoe as well. Curious to see how Sakuta will explain this to Mai though.

It was a good episode, but it is not as good if you have seen it several times before... Gladly the time loop thing didn't last for 8 episodes and Mai was open to hear an explanation in the end, otherwise it would be totally out of character for her.

And I would prefer if they just found out a different solution to Kicked-chan's problem. The whole faking a dating situation thing is too old too. And I wouldn't like to see Mai agree to that.

This continues to be the surprise of the season for me. I like how non-chalant he was about the Groundhog Day thing. It barely phased him.

But yeah, whole "pretend to date" plan is just a bad idea all around.

Not really liking this new fake dating development, I'm too invested in Mai's and Sakuta's relationship and this could mean a pointless drama. I'm kinda surprised he didn't think to mention her when Koga asked him to keep the lie going. Hopefully next episode we'll see Mai hear Sakuta out, I'd also like Mai to talk to Koga about it.

Damn, what a good twist. But there should've been more backstory to Tomoe. Her character is still unknown and for our guy to suddenly start dating her. It feels slightly off, but I guess it's understandable.

What a great base though for this show. Can't wait for the next episode!

Hoping this won't turn into some love triangle. I've seen it happen time and time again. Just let the ship sail instead of making it complicated. I'm fine with the bakemonogatari vibes though. I had a feeling it would become MC solving issues for people.

Edit: I noticed people afraid of this turning into a harem. I'm positive it won't turn down that route.

I love the pacing of this anime, and can´t wait to see more. Although I hope that the fake relationship ends as soon as possbile, because imo Sakuta doesnt seem to be the harem type. I mean he has a literal celebrity at his side, why would he want more?

So we are getting some (more) Bakemonogatari vibes now, which honestly is not too bad for me, the dialogues and chemistry between the MC and Mai reminded me of the Monogatari series anyway.

Hopefully the show can keep up to those standards and keep it's own charm while doing so. Since this show has been a very pleasant surprise this season I'm pretty optimistic about this.

When I saw the trailer to this episode, I was worried about a potential harem route. I'm sure other people are starting to worry about this as well, with the full episode giving minor harem implication vibes.
However, my hope from this is that Mai and Sakuta continue to date irl, while he does the fake dating story with Tomoe. That way, we still get the Mai romance I'm sure we all enjoy and want to see more of, and a potential lead-in to students catching Mai and Sakuta on a date, causing Tomoe to get caught in her lie and Sakuta to have to solve the Adolescence Syndrome in a completely different way.

(Also a bit upset at the lunchtime moment. Those 2 times were too cute to say didn't happen!)

I don't really like this new girl. Her problem is just so stupid lol but the again, she is a silly teenager. It is normal for her age to make drama out of nothing. What bothers me the most about her is how selfish she is. She knows Sakuta likes someone else, but didn't have a problem pushing him into a fake relationship. Sakuta too bothered me with his disregard for Mai. I mean I know he is helping Kouga bc she reminded him of his little sister, but it's so obvious that she will fall for Sakuta that it annoys me. I don't like love triangles. I love Mai and Sakuta together and I think there isn't need for a triangle or stuff like that to make the love aspect of the show interesring.

Also, I like that Futaba's love interest isn't Sakuta. I think her liking Kunimi will have to do with her syndrome whenever it happens.

Hehe I totally expected the ending to change.
And now we have to see Sakuta "dating" Koga, I seriously have no idea about what will solve Koga's puberty syndrome, but apparently it's like Kaede's so will it solve if she just throws her cellphone away?
I just hope his relationship with Mai doesn't fucks up. I also want to see him having to deal with Futaba, hehe. Who doesn't likes girls with glasses?

This was a really good episode, but I’m interested in how it’ll be resolved it the end. Surely it won’t last till summer break.
Tomoe is surely not the girl I was eagerly waiting for to shine (That would be Futaba), but I’m still very interested in where her arc will go from here. Glad to see Sakuta and Mai are willing to come to an understanding. Their moment at first was so cute. Laughed my ass off at how sakuta greeted the well dressed Mai with his boxers only on 🤣👌🏻 Never stop sakuta my man.

No, this is not a harem.

No, there is no needless love dramas to push some developments forward ( See Mai appearing at his door )

No, Mai & Sakuta banter won't disappear.

No, Mai won't get shafted into the background

Yes, their relationship progressed and does not get halted by the arcs of other girls having problems

I get that people are scarred from previous bad experiences but this is not one to worry about.
Someone needs to sticky post this to every episode discussion for this series.

Holy shit finally an amazing romance show. Albeit Winter and Summer had some good ones but this one feels so much better

Ngl was pretty scared about this considering it's a romance written by the guy who wrote Sakurasou/Just Because, but so far it's going really well

Can this anime be any more effortless?

I mean, the characters are one thing, but the plot is just a freaking mix of Oregairu, Haruhi and Monogatari - devoid of any originality whatsoever only capitalizing on the things that made the mentioned shows popular, while not even re-using their ideas in any smart or refreshing way.

I don't think I've ever seen a show so soulless and personality lacking.

Mai is so adorable when she becomes shy! Best girl of the season so far. Her interactions with Sakuta are still gold.

So we get a Groundhog Day kinda of scenario where Sakuta repeats the same day over and over again. Seems that Tomoe is the cause of it. Sakuta had to remind Tomoe that he kicked her butt...

So a misunderstanding happens and Sakuta moves on to the next day, just his luck! XD

and we enter the Chibi Devil Kouhai Arc! i really liked how they changed the ending animation to Koga walking on the beach instead of Mai because of the new Arc, i really hope they will do this for every Arc that they have the prominent heroine of the Arc walking there(well they'll most likely do that) so here's to hope by the end we'll have had 5 different girls walk on that beach!(since ykno, itll adapt the first 5 volumes which each have a focus on a different girl)

Volume 1 = Bunny Senpai(Mai)
Volume 2 = Chibi Devil Kouhai(Koga)
Volume 3 = Logical Witch(Futabu)
Volume 4 = Siscon Idol(Nodoka)
Volume 5 = Stay At Home Imouto(Kaede)

Ehh, what we all knew was gonna happen, just happened, a new, annoying girl appeared.
This said, I'm glad Mai appeared, and we were blessed with two adorably cute moments of her. She's so adorable when blushing :p
On the other hand, I found Koga to be quite annoying, but I guess her role is to be the kinda cute, silly younger girl. I just hope she doesn't get much in the way, and doesn't occupy too much screen time.


Still, an enjoyable episode.

This is exactly what I was thinking the whole time. Does she really not care that this misunderstanding could damage his relationship?! So selfish!!! Like there has to be a better solution. I can’t stand these fake fickle friendships high school anime often portray. Like wtf who needs friends that you need to lie to and constantly text?

Anyway I’m just glad Mai seems smarter than all this and knows it’s a misunderstanding! Was so happy she showed up at his door. I was so nervous it was gonna be that annoying Kouja girl again.

P.S Futaba is so cute. She needs to get Kunimi so he leaves that fickle gf of his.

Well it wont! itll be rushed, although volume 1 they adapted magnificently, im really hoping they wont ruin it and keep this quality, every volume(arc) is 360+ pages with volume 5 being the longest in the entire series with 400+ pages.

For the couple of people commenting that they were bored by this episode because "nothing happened," I feel legit bad that you don't enjoy this show's dialogue as much as I do. My grin-counter hit double digits and I laughed out loud a few times.

Like many people have already said here in the forums, it's becoming Monogatari and I'm not 100% sure how to feel about it, even if I do love the Monogatari series.

Episode was good but Tomoe definitely wasn't as charming nor interesting as Mai. We'll see how this goes.

Hmmm that’s pretty concerning. I wonder if they’ll do an arc in OVA form or will they skip one. I mean if we suppose they’re gonna adapt all volumes (1 through 5), you’d think the pace would be even faster than this, but that might just be m.
