Ah, nothing like a fun day at the festival. The selling point imo is Kaguya's expressions this episode and how conscious she got being with Shirogane. Cute episode imo especially when considering Kaguay's wild imaginations.

Ishigami also got more time with Tsubame.

Good episode. Shirogane making a heart balloon while facing it to Kaguya was adorable. Tsubame is having a hard to returning her feelings to Ishigami and to the manga readers: try not to spoil challenge, when they were observing Chika and Miko getting confessed/hit on was truly something. Chika was so smart though, she played her own games and if they didn’t get the answer right, she just proceeds to reject them. While Miko on the other hand, got Ishigami smacking her head, a good gif imo. The fortune-teller segment was amusing af and the moment Ishigami turned into some kind of zombie had a direction which gave me a CCTV moment. Also, Hayasaka had another character inserted song. The Standford dilemma is again for manga readers: try not to spoil challenge because it’ll play quite a role for Shirogane's character in the latter.

Well Kaguya has her own ways to make Shirogane confess, though I’m still not sure how she couldn’t catch Shirogane too is playing the very same game even after all this time lol. As if you’ll make him give you a heart shaped balloon, and he won’t have a trick up his sleeve… though I guess she got out of that pinch just in one of her own ways, as ‘Money solves anything’, right? LOL.

Also bro Ishigami, just read the damn room now. You’ve to realize just what you’ve done the other day. Tsubame though, can’t blame she’s really bashful facing Ishigami now, still she doesn’t want to reject him. Though she would’ve changed her mind if it wasn’t for Kaguya realizing just at the last moment, the one she was giving advice against was Ishigami all along lol. Still he’s safe for the moment, also yeah there are few who can fall for Chika of all people… yes.

Must be tough for Shirogane walking with balls that heavy, bro’s just in some other league at the moment. Beware of the Phantom thief everyone now.

Just 14 days away now… fridays can’t come anytime soonerWell even god can't wait for a whole two weeks to witness the history, then how can anyone be. Just a week away now.

Great episode! Kaguya really was narrowing the criteria of balloon shapes own xD. Tsubame still is embarrassed to see Ishigami since she thinks he confessed to her lol.
It seems that Tsubame wants to reject him!
She doesn't deserve best character Ishigami anyways!
KAGUYA MISUNDERSTOOD AND TOLD TSUBAME TO BE RUTHLESS WITH HER REJECTION!
Fujiwara quizzed the guy to reject him...

Tsubame says her answer is on hold.
Though I hate Tsubame anyways, not sure why Ishigami even likes her lol.

Looking forward to the next episode!

At least I won't have to wait for 2 weeks now that it is confirmed that episode 12 is double-length.

This is such an amazing episode. This is my favorite episode of all season so far. 5/5

Miyuki is such a chad in this episode.
I am so hyped for next week.

I do not know what Tsubame's answer will be, but I hope it can be good and maybe bittersweet. We are close to the ending for a while now. How will this turn out. Dang man! That ending was so dang heart breaking. Shinomiya thought they can spend time next year. But Shirogane says otherwise. Now the final steps are now approaching.

Shirogane finally mastered the art of making balloons, They had a blast today.

Kaguya running to the wall like a video game character was the highlight for me, that made me crack up

The episode 12 preview is so dramatic and I've just fallen inlove for this anime, kinda sad its going away soon.

Cannot wait for next week!!! 1 hour episode :))

We can see all during this episode how much more serious Shirogane is. He knows that clock is ticking and almost out of time. Trying to make the most of this culture festival, cool as a cucumber when Kaguya sat down for her balloon. She worried like crazy about the optics of asking him for a heart. All for Shirogane to have the payment for a heart balloon mean exchanging hearts. Totally got one over on Kaguya all the while she thought of every way around asking and even Kashiwagi assisting. Trying to just slide Shirogane a ton of cash and run off so funny.

Tsubame has a tough choice to make, she does care about Ishigami but isn't sure if its on that specific way. Tsubame is torn on what to do since she doesn't want to hurt Ishigami knowing her college she's going to will be far away. Kaguya completely misinterpreting Tsubame at the start and giving cutthroat advice to be brutal as possible. Terrible timing to flip that switch Kaguya, her immediately backtracking was hilarious. Had to try and change Tsubame mind back before she tore Ishigami heart. I like the decision Tsubame comes to, give Ishigami an answer after getting to know him better.

Shirogane continuing to be completely cool even during that wacky fortune teller scene. Kaguya taking him I'm there backfired big-time for her as Shirogane kept pressing the fortune teller for more predictions. It made me so happy to see the two of them spend genuine time together without the usual mind games interfering. Funny as those can be I like having our romantic leads get to just bask in each others company without worrying. A perfect day as the last day of the festival winds down. Shirogane dropping the bombshell on Kaguya right as the episode ends. She doesn't have as much time left with him as she thought.

Really fun episode as a whole with a somber cliffhanger of Miyuki's announcement of his departure to Stanford at the end of the academic year to Kaguya. That finale next week is going to be something else, that's for sure. Been waiting quite some time to seeing that animated so excited to see that happen next week after my exam. Lots of wackiness too in the middle of all the big question marks surrounding Miyuki and Kaguya, and Tsubame's approach with Ishigami too. Fitting amount of chaos for a cultural festival from this series.

Another phenomenal episode, although this does take the cake for me (but there is still next week's final episode). Highlight of the episode of course being Kaguya and her cute expressions and seeing Shirogane still retaining such a calm attitude relative to Shinomiya under the same pressure was pretty endearing. Also a decent amount of development for the sub plot of Ishigami's relationship with Tsubame. It was also pretty cool to see this many events being packed in one episode without feeling too rushed.

Another 5/5 episode. Can't wait for final episode of the season next week.

Kaguya never change, money's the way. Maki and Kaguya just can't be honest. The festival date was really fun and that fortune telling was something else lol. Poor Ishigami though, Kaguya almost killed him.

This episode had a little bit of everything. Maki and Kaguya bickering. Kashiwagi being a great wingman. Kaguya giving Tsubame advice. Chika being Chika. Ishigami helping Iino. Shirogane and Kaguya finally spending time together. Hayasaka singing. It's awesome how all the characters got involved in this episode.

And then the cliffhanger at the end. No wonder Shirogane was so unusually calm this entire time. I can't wait to see how things wrap up in the finale.

Final day huh. Stakes are mighty high. Kaguya being drawn into the newspaper world was pretty amusing. The phantom thief nice nod to good old Arsene. Miyuki's balloon making skills sure have gotten much better. Maki and Kaguya though are more alike than i thought they'll be. On the Ishigami front looks like Tsubame's on full avoid mode. Tsubame though really has a ton of things to worry about when it comes to relationships though. Chika's way of dealing with confessions by confusing the hell out of them sure was unique. That fortune teller really was unique. But Kaguya sure had quite a lot of saves when trying to progress with her plan. The switching scenes for Yu and Miko's entrances were really well done. But that was a damm fine cliffhanger they ended this ep with though. Overall an excellent ep that had a perfect balance of comedy and romantic moments plus a little bit of tension of events to come. Can't wait to see how it ends next week.

That was really good, but still believe that manga did it better, especially comparing to this season. Maki's moments are just the best ... Hope one day Aka give her happiness.

The horror moment and Kaguya voice, that was great and Bakaguya coming out so much ...

One of the best episodes of this season, kaguya being best girl as always, but I didn't expected Shirogane to tell her that in the festival, I even thought that there was going to be a confession for a second, what a cliffhanger.
Great episode overall.

Tsubame actually just went a nice realistic path with Ishigami, and Kaguya had a field day here, and it all boiled down to the ultimatum to the time they can spend together. Shirogane graduating early gonna be sad for all, but this one comes with the desire to let out unsaid feelings.
Well, the final's gonna break the internet...

Fun day at the festival, everyone gets their chance to shine, and we end off at yet another brutal cliffhanger. Next week should be the finale, with a 1 hour long episode to wrap things up. I have no idea what's coming, but I suspect it could shatter my expectations. Looking forward to it!

Well well well. A-ha's "Take On Me" opening reference, Chika being Conan to catch the Phantom Thief, and Shirogane's wreaking havoc for the culture festival's infamous event.

The Shuchiin Hoshin Culture Fesival continued, and Kaguya continues her feigned ignorance on Shirogane, who's still mastering balloon art. And making a heart balloon with the cost being a heart, Kaguya's about to burst right now...

As for Tsubame, she's definitely avoiding Ishigami due to the high-profile confession, and she's thinking of turning him down nicely, that Kaguya misinterpreted her situation and dug her own grave lols. But seeing Chika being confessed to, getting her heart ain't that easy. I mean, a quiz show, haha. Best to keep the decision on hold for now.

Continuing Kaguya and Shirogane's confession game, while many people saw it as a date, it just that and more than just a secret tryst. And getting their fortune told, it's more like their future already foretold for them, but only left to circumstances to actually trigger their love onfession. The Resident Evil reference forebodes nicely, and Ishigami might just earn his place first.

Kaguya's ON A ROLL! If only that cliffhanger wasn't so brutal...for Shirogane's gonna study abroad!? Everything's a last for Shirogane...

A bit short for so many things happening but enjoyed Ishigami having a fair treatment regardless of the outcome. Enjoyed seeing Shiro completely destroy Shiro by not playing any mind game at all, sadly it was not for the reason i thought to be. Next week's 1h episode is going to be good and probably a farewell to the series though
