Lol, character reactions and imaginations were absolutely gold.

Funny how they managed to incorporate both manga and science gimmicks into the same episode. Kotonoha and her heart is so into romance lol. Ayame had some wil fantasies of her own. We got a very classic Science Fell in Love episode if you ask me.

The second part was the best, especially with Kosuke's reactions.
Ayame's confession at the end was super interesting.

Dozens of data on love were shown and all of them are heterosexual? Not trying to be a "forced diversity" but considering that that manga artist Yamamoto just bought a couple of BL dojin to read in the lab, I kinda expect a one or two example from her compiled data, not none.

Let’s gooo, Kanade development ep! She’s needed one for a while. Yukimura is definitely not the person you want to ask for help with relationships unless you want a literal lecture lol.

That one part of the film reel where the girl’s boyfriend had committed suicide was actually really shocking.

Luckily we end the ep on a positive note with a confession from Himuro, can’t wait for next week

God damn, like they all said, "It's so sparkly, it's infuriating. Will I be able to love like that?" or "This is precious treasure!" This episode really tugged my strings when the story about the girl who went to the funeral appeared. So tragic, made me appreciate and love these "mob characters." God dammit, it made me all fuzzy and warm inside listening to all their stories. I rate this episode a 5/5. Really enjoyed it!

I liked it because the episode shows Kanade kind of undecided about what love is because a boy declared himself to her and she doesn't know how to answer it so to start she asks to be just friends for while and Kosuke gets a little nervous because all the data of what love is for some people matches him and Ibarada

Dang, turning Himuro and Yukimura's relationship and turning it into a manga, Arika Yamamoto is back churning her manga, only to get chased and hamfisted by her editor for deadlines. Quite typical.

Kanade's gotten stranger, now that this rando guy Shikijou Naoya confessed to her. Her family's quite the eccentric family of a martial arts grandpa master and a normal family. Kanade's love situation isn't one to be compared to the likes of the others in the Ikeda Lab, but if it's getting advice, Yukimura ain't the person to ask that he'll turn any situation into a literate science experiment lecture breakdown, but it's a good start.

More love experiments done, but correlation is important to the individualistic feel of different feelings. Kosuke really is freaking out until he can't think anymore because it all matches with Ibarada, while the various stories have different opinionated degrees of love from simple love to jealousy, and an extreme case of suicide. All forms of love, so intriguing.

Himuro's sudden confession to Yukimura, that definitely was set off-guard.

Don't ask Yukimura for advice keke. Kosuke's reactions with the love proof video is too much. I really can't wait for them to get together.

Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver,
é ferida que dói, e não se sente;
é um contentamento descontente,
é dor que desatina sem doer.

É um não querer mais que bem querer;
é um andar solitário entre a gente;
é nunca contentar-se de contente;
é um cuidar que ganha em se perder.

É querer estar preso por vontade;
é servir a quem vence, o vencedor;
é ter com quem nos mata, lealdade.

Mas como causar pode seu favor
nos corações humanos amizade,
se tão contrário a si é o mesmo Amor

I like both parts of todays episode, but what i am more into is the 2nd part or the proofs of love, as each one of us have different ways or means of how we can say we are already in love.

A very interesting episode

The data opened all of their eyes to what love can truly be. It must be protected at all costs.

Himuro finally confirmed she is in love with Yukimura. One half of that almighty conclusion to their experimentation is complete. We just need the other ball to drop now. Yukimura, ball's in your court now, pal.

Definitely loved the Kanade focused first half, her situation with love is really interesting and I’m glad to see it being explored more, of course she uses the classic “my friend” thing to tell Yukimura, but then he used scientific methods to help her lol.

The 2nd half was also very good, seeing all the different proofs of love was pretty sweet, except for the depressing one but it was still necessary, and of course Kosuke’s reactions were great lol. Also the manga opening was cute, nice to see Yamamoto again even if she wasn’t so nice last time lol, and her editor is hyper scary for sure, she was ready to jump out of a window on the 5th floor lol.

Hmm using the manga to tell part of the narrative is a pretty creative method for this ep. Its nice to see Arika again. Damm Ogu's one hell of a giant. Kanade sure has an interesting family huh. But its nice to see her get some expansion as a character. Its just like Yukimura to convey that convo into an equation. The proof of love data sure ended up creating quite a unique emotional dilemma for the members of the lab though especially Kosuke. But the proof sure was impressive in the wide range of scenarios that it featured to convey its conclusion. Now looking forward to seeing how Yukimura would deal with Ayame's sudden confession there.

Wait, wtf, the scenario at the end was like from the start of s1 ep1??? It looked like it looped lmao. Don't get me wrong, I know there's a difference because Himuro sounded with conviction this time but still, it really looks the same with the premiere of s1 lol.

Let's go with Rikekoi. Kanade is having trouble deciding on whether or not to answer that message, she decided not to fall in love anymore but she should move on, she already at least has something, same the evidence of those people are different feelings, Himuro already decided.

Kanade will surely be able to fall in love like the others and it takes time, all the stories you read if they show different emotions, already after much research, you should come to a conclusion.

Well, I'm saying "as expected" once again so, well... I really expecting that this episode will be a great one as the previous ones and "As expected" it really is a great one. It is funny as usual and has a super romantic element in this episode as they started to watch the date about love. Well, I don't have anything more to say but I am looking forward to the next episode.

What even made you think he's the right person to ask for a love advice, Kanade. And lol he didn't even realize she was talking about herself.

Now one thing i can say for certainty after going through those proves of love, Kosuke loves Ibarada.

This was a really beautiful episode- seeing all of the different forms of love really tugged the heartstrings. Additionally that was quite a way of tying the episode together with a confession at the start and the end.

I'm surprised Kanade entertained the thought and decided to befriend this rando dude. I guess she isn't as fixated on her past love as Yukimura and Himuro make it out to seem.

Some of these "proofs of love" were rather intense. Like, wanting to eat the other person's throat.

Anyway, looks like Yukimura and Himuro might actually start dating soon.

Didn't think this anime would ever get me in my feelings but there it is. Terrific ending too, strong character moment by Himuro. In general really happy with the direction it's going after the lackluster first episodes. They stopped pussyfooting around the otaku ship and even introduced a love interest for Kanade. Just hoping for some more progression.

I wonder, if this anime can count as having buff men.. I mean, maybe?.. ;P
Well.. To be honest.. Weighting stuff like that.. I don't know.. But actually writing down all pluses and minuses.. Kanade can express her honest feelings this way to the boy, I think.. If she wants..
I don't think not feeling love towards person is 0 in the equation, lol.. I mean, it probably is negative feeling?.. Of course it's up to Kanade to weight things.. But I think that Yukimura pushed his opinion on this on her, valuing it 0.. Not like it necessary has to be that much important for Kanade.. It might or might not be, it's up to her.. Just saying she's influenced here, though..
Yeah, people think that love is all kinds of feelings and experiences..
There are great variety for love perceptions?.. Hm.. I wonder..
Well.. If you're sure now, Himuro, that you're in love.. Maybe you can finally start dating now then?..

The proof of love part got a little too real with the sucide one. Also with all the varied responses they have, it kinda makes me think if these were real fan letters to the mangaka of this story, and they decided to include it in the show(maybe is there in manga too)? Like a planned mangaka-fans interaction? If they are real fan responses, this is a really cute segment.
Also, this is by far the best episode of this season. previous episodes were really just messy. 
The ending gave me hope that the love story would progress more excitingly instead of the merry-go-round research  based plot they have had for a whole season.

Ok when did that guy confess his love to Kanade? Didn't he just ask her out on a date? Why would anybody interpret that as love at first sight or a confession? The older you get the more likely it becomes that you go on dates before knowing much about teh person beforehand or having any bonding time before teh first date, so why would it be so weird to go on a date with a guy you don't have feelings for? The reason you date is to find out if you and teh other person are a good match so all that about Kanade seems extremely childish for a student. Then teh proof of love data they got.. jesus why would you need somebody gathering it for ysou when all of that you can find in google or anywhere else online. And is it at that age really that surprising that there are different ways to confirm, expre4ss, feel and live out love? All on all everybody seems extremely immature lol it feels more like a High School anime and one with adult cast. The only thing nice abou teh episode was Torasuke getting his eyes opened for good.
and to Himuro: Giiiirl if you wish for the tests to proof your love because you want it to be true DOESN'T THAT MEAN YOU LOVE HIM YOU IDIOT! omg.... the 2nd season is frustrating in many ways.
