This was a fun ep, Though I really want to know if those girls have their own series, I absolutely love them and their dynamic!

I still think it's weird for Shikimori to call Inuzuka "older brother", I think she's just trying to be cute, after treating him like a rival.

No lovey dovey this week. Kamiya is Awesome, I wish they find her happiness outside Izumi, the dude sucks to be her boyfriend.

Kamiya's voice is so pleasant to listen to. No Izumi this episode though.

It is already to see Shikimori interacting with others and at least a little away from Izumi, she does show other attitudes beyond just smiling or feeling jealous, she had fun with the girls just the same...

Now, I know why this anime feels so dull no not because of Izumi but because of music till now there is no impressive OST I know the characters are dull too but it would had been better if there are some good OST's.Op and Ed are decent though.

3/5.

It's heartwarming to see Kamiya getting along with the other girls, finally she can come out of her shell a little and learn about herself, her feelings and tastes.

Can we get more Shikimori pouting scenes she's so cute, It did seem like a brother and sister relationship between Shikimori and Inuzuka, And detective Hachimitsu looks like someone who'll ground pound my mom

That kind of slice of life plot with Kamiya was nice and some basketball action as well those two are really like a dynamic duo when it comes to sports

I like it when the plot focuses more on interesting things not like their relationship will go any further but I'm down to see more of Kamiya's side of the story or at least give us some progression between Izumi and Shikimori.

Nice chapter.
Poor Izumi got sick and asked Inuzuka for his notes, and from there he saw that Shikimori doesn't hate him xd. And then Kamiya hung out with Shikimori and Hachimitsu. It was really cute this part, they already became friends and Kamiya is expressing herself more. Kamiya is very adorable <3

I remember how I defended this show in the beginning of the season on how Izumi should not be the scapegoat of this show's misfortunes, well too bad that went pretty accurate as the season progressed as not only Izumi is a non-factor for a while now, even the other characters are failing to gripe my attention to this series, because for a while now I am bored of this show.

The production failure earlier this season really dismantled the show's momentum or lack thereof. It seems that the production committee is just trying to make the bare minimum in order to get these episodes out (aka coasting) which is why the series has been a dead in the water for me. I don't even need to point out the disappointments in this episode because I don't want to get stressed out by thinking on it, heck I just watched JJK 0 before this.

Yep any hope of my faith in this show has been long gone, and yet there are 3 episodes left...joy.

I finally enjoyed a episode.. prolly cause the beta male wasn't present. Honestly would be a better anime without him. Great seeing the gals be gals.

Kamiya is for sure the best character in the show, I really enjoyed her screentime in this episode and seeing her getting along with Shikimori and Nekozaki.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

I'm really glad I waited to binge this at the end. I can't believe a 1-cour show had two recaps. @_@

Hachimitsu's sleuthing was quite amusing.

Other than that, maybe the yuri rival hasn't completely fallen through yet after all. Seems like Kamiya is starting to get her share of doki-dokis from hanging out with Shikimori. Watch out Izumi.

All five of the girls were in the picture, and there seemed to be no one else there. Who took that picture?

Yeah the episode gives all these feels, but I'm not here for that. Every second Anime can give those feels. Overused if I say so.

These shows start with unique factor and couldn't bear with it at the same time, only to end up becoming like others. One episode is fine, but don't lose originality.

Glad they are showing the side characters more since each of them are pretty unique. Hachimitsu cracking the theory behind Shikimori and Inuzuka's "rivalry" being Inuzuka just giving big bro energy and Shikimori literally treating him like her actual older brother. Ngl i didn't expect the dilemma between them to be that but it makes it funnier to me ngl.

Wowie i won't lie but personally the girl with the black mask ticked a scary amount of internal boxes for me. Black leotard, short hair, sharp teeth and tomboy personality, i'm ascending.

Glad we got more Kamiya, its great to see Shikimori and Kamiya hang out more and become closer friends. You can also see the change it's given Kamiya. Both of them also seem to carry similarities, especially a competitive one. Happy they didn't completely forget about Nekozaki and Kamiya's dynamic as well, always nice to have an extroverted friend like Nekozaki that can cheer you up.

An episode focusing on just these three characters was good as well.

Also those two gals looked cute and their clothing was good/sexy and all but who the hell plays basketball looking like that. They were asking to lose the game.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

This was a nice episode but there was one part I think the writers didn't plan ahead for 
In the episode they reveal that all of Shikimori's "jealousy" towards Inuzuka is actually just Shikimori being reminded of the rocky relationship she has with her brother... but, in like the 2nd episode, Shikimori gets nervous seeing Inu and Izumi together and has a vision of them falling in love

I think its so cute that neko wanted her to laugh this whole time from the bottom of her heart and i think its also adorable how neko wanted to be friends with her.
Shikimori and kamiya are also getting along which is great.


Sum:
Shikimori, Neko, and Kamiya all hangout together. Izumi is sick and its revealed that shikimori views Inu like her older brother and that's why she treats him the way she does. (Hachimitsu revealed it).

Another good episode, I like the direction this is going for, sure no focus on Izumi but it is not always needed, honestly this is coming out better than I expected it to be, and since it is developing the characters that pays huge cuz I m more engaged the more meaningful they get, which is what this anime has been doing for the past episodes.

Izumi is sidelined, and yet this episode has been one of the strongest. Enjoyed the entire girls "afternoon out" overall, including arcade, basketball... things i'm also extremely fond of. Yui has never been so funny until this point, good for her.

Kamiya...she is not presented as an "enemy" like in most rom coms but a human being with feelings


thank you, that's exactly why she looks so great for me too.

Wow an episode without Izumi and ngl it was kinda nice and refreshing not saying I hate the guy but it was different without the MC yk I liked how it was focused on Shikimori Inuzuka Nekozaki and Kamiya

So the reason why Shikimori treats Inuzuka the way she does is bc she instinctively views him as her brother which is pretty wholesome tbh she never hated bro in the first place

Detective Hachimitsu was the highlight of this episode to me I keep saying this but with every episode that goes by I can’t help but say it…Hachimitsu is the funniest fucking character in this show i laughed when she changed in her Sherlock Holmes costume and bursted out laughing when she inhaled nothing and blew out no smoke + why was she just letting Nekozaki play her like a guitar?🤣🤣🤣🤣

Those 2 gyaru girls at the basketball were fucking HOT especially the girl with the mask and sharp teeth something about her is doing something to me I like them petite girls ong😩😩😩

Nice Kamiya and Nekozaki development at the end of the episode it’s really nice that Kamiya views Nekozaki as a true friend same as shikimori as well but I feel like her connection with Nekozaki is deeper considering she’s always inviting her out and being nice to her, such a nice friendship😊

Nekozaki is in awe with Kamiya and yet Kamiya clicks better with Shikimori during their outing at the mall after school. The misunderstanding with Inu is funny.
