| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I still have some issues with Fukumi's voice but it's slowly growing to me now. Feels like this show is introducing more and more formidable competitors. I like that Chisato guy especially with his exceptional skill at answering questions quickly. The psychology of this series has my attention even with every little detail. As for the quiz competition itself, it's pretty much I had expected. Obviously there's some skill level gap between some characters. |
 |
| Dang No-Drop Policy... Even though it's a game and all, the feeling of competition is a little stifled when the questions asked are random. This especially becomes evident when every question at the very end was something that only Shiki knew, the literature stuff and that one otaku question. Granted, this does swing both ways, and I expect within the next 3 or so episodes for Shiki to get boned by RNG and just get hit with a wave of questions he doesn't know. Or at least, lose at the very end because of it. Also, I don't see what would stop a player from mashing the buzzer the moment when the question is asked. At the very end of this episode, the opposing girl blocked Shiki from answering by buzzing in despite not knowing the answer, so couldn't this just be done indefinitely since they say the answer immediately after? I bet they'd get timed out or something, but it would be nice for them to throw in a troll in there like that. It would add an element of irony that this show's so far lacking. tl:dr Screw RNG & I agree with Stark in that the competition is pretty unsurprising. I have little hope for the future. |
| So, the MC is apparently a genius. This episode was slightly exhilarating. 😂 I think it's getting better. Reminds me a little bit of Shokugeki no Souma. |
 good day lol |
| God was original hating on this anime, but I'm really liking it now... I really fun to answer the questions along with them even if they answer them super quickly... it literally like Knowledge bowl (a state competition in my state) except one person.... In Knowledge bowl you have a team and buzz in and decide on an answer... |

| "Absolute territory!" He nailed that answer XD Surprisingly, I'm enjoying this so far. The scene at the beginning was kinda unnecessary. Oh well. |
 |
| I'm slowly getting used to Fukumi's voice. The quiz competition was interesting. Learned some new things about it. There are some smart people like Chisato. He answered the questions quickly. Koshiyama got lucky with his last question. |
 |
| Like it more than expected,not just the original concept, the competitiveness is giving off almost the same vibe as most sports anime. Definitely my thing. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Nothing much to add really, the quizzes are obviously the best part. Also the main girl charming as fuck, i really like her appearance, too. |
| I feel like I know where the story is going, but at the same time, I'm not completely sure... -_- I'm confusing myself to death. |
LMAO this is exactly what i was going to comment, theres nothing wrong with the voice its just not on the right character, i feel she needs to be a more "tomboyish" character to sound like that XD |
 |
| fuck i answered inflation instead of stagflation |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| This anime seems to be okay so far, except for the fact that it makes me feel stupid?! Like, what do you mean by classics? Who knows this stuff? Also, yes, the VA. She has a very pretty voice with a nice colour in it, but she just doesn't know how to voice act quite well yet. Borderline bearable I have to say. |
 |
| This anime annoys me so much, the quizzing and the insights into quizzing are so interesting, it shows the world of quizzing in a detailed manner that I could've never even thought of, but then the characters and the story outside of the actual quizzing is so meh... its a shame really. |
| Starting right off with the sexual innuendos. I think this might just be my favorite opening this season. LMAO, I got the zettai ryouiki question so fast when Fukami was quizzing him at the train station. Ahahaha... now if you'll excuse me, I'll be off to hang myself. |
| God damn it the brief pauses in the OP keep making me think my sound is cutting off but then I remember it's part of the song lol. Anyway I think I'm starting to get used to Fukami's voice. Her VA isn't even a full time VA so it makes sense why her voice sounds weird. We got to see more quiz action and I think the MC's confidence is improving a bit. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Wow. That is what you call luck. Absolute territory. |
| The quiz parts are pretty intense, I found myself pretty engrossed into it all and I had fun seeing them all go at it The main female's voice is still bothersome but I'm starting to warm up to the character so I think I'll be able to overlook it after a while....The MC is getting a bit better too |
| All she had to do is point and I knew the answer...mmmm, Zettai Ryouiki. |
| Mikuriya's exactly as I imagined him from reading the manga. So good. Still not a fan of the direction they went with Fukami's voice. |
| There is no hope for meaningful romantic development. So it'll all be about the competition. |
 |
| I think this show goes under-appreciated. Currently its score is even lower than that new Isekai show, which is just sad. Anyway, the first actual quiz bowl was more exciting than I was expecting. I think this'll be a good watch to the end. Oh, and side note: I actually think the Fukumi's voice suits her very well. |
| Good episode. The quiz parts are definitely the best and are really fun to watch. Absolute Territory FTW. XD Mikuriya seems like a pretty OP dude, main rival perhaps? I really like Fukumi and I don't find her voice too off or anything, it's perhaps a little stiff but it's not bad at all. |
 |
| I think I'm getting used to Fukami's voice now especially towards the ending of this episode, Fukami's charm kind of makes me forget to bother with her voice at all. Also the Episode is quite better than the first episode. tfw You can answer "Zettai Ryouiki" when Fukami shows her thighs lol. |

| This was much better than last week, I liked that they got right into the quizzing. Character setup is good (the annoying antagonist is doing his job well, I already want to punch his lights out.) All in all, I think it's off to a good start now. |
| Fukami's voice is lifeless and horrible. English dubs are more bearable. Whoever decided on the casting should get fired immediately. |
| I won't understand the hate towards Fukami's VA ever. yvanc said: Fukami's voice is lifeless and horrible. English dubs are more bearable. Wtf are you even talking about? |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Shit! They actually went with the worst possible direction that I was afraid of, which is the MC's constant inner rumbling.. It was annoying enough that I just skipped them cos I knew he'd get it right anyway. I'd prefer they focused more on intense buzzer battle coupled with quick hypothesis rather than overly convoluted inner dialogue. I'd give this one more episode, hopefully they can reduce this problem |
 |
| If there's anything anime in general excels at it's making the most boring things rock n' roll and intense af, and that's always fun. MC is a bit too dweeby, but i can live with that. He kind of has to be to feel like an underdog. I'm really starting to grow fond of Fukami. |
 |
No need to feel stupid. Classics does not mean "general knowledge," only that they are common in quiz bolws. |
|
yvanc said: Fukami's voice is lifeless and horrible. English dubs are more bearable. Whoever decided on the casting should get fired immediately. Agreed except for the fired part. I actually like this show and the fact that I had to SKIM through this episode isn't acceptable. I don't want to stop watching it but Fukami's voice is unbearable and makes the whole show experience terrible for me. They shouldn't have given her a lead role until she improved her voice acting. She hasn't even had that many roles, and this is probably why. She has zero emotion and just isn't trying. She sounds bored with what she's doing. And it sounds like she's just using her natural voice. Not that voice actors don't do that, but even when they DO, they still put emphasis on it to make it sound even more different. She just doesn't suit the character at all. I'm surprised they haven't replaced her yet. |
 |
| The show is turning out to be so much better than what I originally thought, and the new characters introduced are pretty interesting. Like everyone else said, Fukami's voice acting is a little strange but I think I'm slowly getting used to it. Hopefully the series continues with the upward trend and Fukami's acting gets better or I get more used to it. |
 |
| Z E T T A I R Y O U I K I <3 The anime really could use some sort of good soundtrack to accompany the quizzes. |
 |
| Zettai Ryouiki the dude is lucky |
 |
| Still pretty eh with Fukami's voice but its still watchable overall |
 |
| This anime keeps getting better and better !! , I felt like this episode ended in 10 seconds , Seriously this anime is so damn THRILLING it makes time pass by faster ffs <3 <3 .. New characters have been introduced and i really loved that Mikuriya boy he's really cool and very talented and above all he's a first-year like our Koshiyama !! I mean there's clearly a big gap between them and i don't know how Koshiyama's going to close that gap and i don't think he's capable of doing that , But i got high hopes for him and like I said before I really like his character and I hope he gets much better and better so he can reach Mikuriya's level for now ^' GO KOSHIYAMA <3 <3 "^ ... Anyways , I'm really enjoying every second of this anime and I'm so depressed that it's only 12 episodes :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( .... SO I'M GOING TO ENJOY EVERY TINY DETAIL OF THIS ANIME AND I'M SO HYPEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD FOR MORE , LOOKING FORWARD !!!! |

| Another brilliant episode! :) |
Nyanchan053 said: at first, fukumi's voice throwing me off.... but what kind of feeling is this??! its very addicting.... why am i feeling this?? there is a certain charm in her voice.... same here! in this episode I was kind of drawn to it. Anyway, the show seems to get better, it's a little too early maybe but it looks like a solid anime, the characters are fine and I really like the theory quiz bowl we get to know. |
 |
| honestly the only reason i remembered this series for so long was because taught me Zettai ryōiki ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), granted that's as far as i ever got so each week is gonna be interesting with it making me feel real stupid. |
 |
| Fukami's VA needs some work on improving her voice no offense to anyone. But dam lol jut knew that it was gonna be absolute territority |
| nice episode! VA Kawashima is improving! quiz tournament is really stressful especially when you are new to it! You have to be a book worm at the age of 3 and spending countless of nights browsing the net to be able to answer any type of question! 4/5. |
 |
| When Sakura Ayane is just a supporting character...You know someone is pulling some strings behind the scene. |
