| GUILTY KISS! GUILTY KISS! GUILTY KISS! Guilty Kiss reunited and we also got a new Guilty Kiss song. This version of Riko is undoubtedly scary.  |

真姫ちゃん！ 何が好き？ トマト よりも あ･な･た♡  |
| Yet another cute episode. I liked the new song. Poor Riko, though. :( I totally understand how she feels. I'm glad she finally made some friends. |

| Feel so bad for Riko for having to always say goodbye to friends she makes hopefully she can stay in town and make many memories with Yohane and Mari now |
| i love the scary goofy riko in this (reminds me of aida-san) i actually expected a duo with mari and riko, but we acrually got guilty kiss but not guilty kiss instead! is a wholesome song that shows how the three of our girls share a similar sad past, but manage to overcome it and be united |

| This week was mostly about Riko. Her behavior around Lailaps and Ruby led to some really funny moments, like that scene with the vase haha, my favorite this episode :) The rest of the episode was pretty sweet with her backstory (which was very reminiscent of that dog episode in the original series) and finally becoming friends with Yohane and Mari. We also got a really cute song! Now then, can't wait for this 'girls night' next week, looks like this is going to be fun! |
| Guilty Kiss is here!!! Lets gooo Anyone else get emotional during Riko’s little backstory? Very similar to Yohane, except Yohane had Lailaps to keep her company whereas Riko was too afraid to make connections with anyone. That must have been so lonely. No matter how many books you read, it can’t replicate the intimacy of a real relationship. The three of them are really a perfect friend group at the perfect time. Can’t wait to see Girl’s night next week! Great episode |
 |
| Me gusta mucho este anime. |
 |
| The highlight was pretty much how sad Riko's backstory is depicted, love the song btw. Expecting some more fun next EP |
| Best unit is finally together. |
| great chapter, this trio is the best. |
| Looks like Yoshiko and Mari were able to really help Riko out, with them all getting a bit closer. Dia seems to also have a bit of a plan on how they can all work together better as well. |
 |
| all of that cliffhanger and frightening build-up... just for a Guilty Kiss reunion? (not that i'm complaining, it's always been my favorite subunit from Aqours) Riko seemed very out of character by chasing the fairy version of the younger Kurosawa sister like that... the screenshot posted before didn't lie, she was so overexcited at a point to become sort of scary, honestly. But she had a relatable story (similar somehow to Nozomi's from the first Love Live generation) and it's nice to see her settle in a place for once. And their song half sung and half spoken word was pretty good. Girls party next? Interesting. Now, i'm off to listen again to Love Pulsar from Guilty Kiss. |

| I was thinking the combo of Yohane, Mari and Riko was an odd one but turns out they actually are a trio known as Guilty Kiss lol, I don’t think that was ever in the anime (haven’t seen the movie yet tho) so that’s why I didn’t know about it, they’re a very nice combo too, especially the versions of them in this show. I really liked that Yohane and Mari were able to help Riko due to being in similar situations to her, and Riko’s backstory is an upsetting one but I’m happy to see she’s finally found friends she can stick with. And that song and visuals were very nice, this show hasn’t missed yet in that department, loved the unique outfits the girls had near the end of it too. And lastly, the bit where Riko was scaring the hell out of little Ruby was hilarious lol, this new aggressive Riko is not to be trifled with. |

Personally, I feel like Mari, Riko and Yohane are the most "out-of-character" compared with their Sunshine versions. So I don't really get the people that say this episode shows how perfect GK is as a subunit... like, they're not even the "true" Mari, Riko and Yoshiko... (Not to say GK isn't perfect, but the reasoning here is a bit flawed from how I see it). I actually prefer chaotic and troll Mari way more, but oh well. |
 |
| Oh my God i never realize this episode is about Guilty Kiss at all lol. I am so focused on the Numazu lore story more. They explain it very detailed and mysterious, i love this kind of thing. |
Hello everyone, i like Slice of Life and CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Thing) anime. I'm also like to make a lot of friends online, so feel free to add me as a friend or invite me to a club :)  |
YohaNico said: I would disagree - in that case, literally every personality they tacked onto someone could potentially be "justified" if you did some mental acrobatics and made up scenarios. Like Riko being passionate and research-crazy? Don't see it. And I think Mari would be her chaotic shiny self even without Dia/Kanan - isn't that how it started out in Sunshine? They were pretty split in the beginning. and this Yohane is very different from Yoshiko. In ep 1, she wanted stardom and for her singing to reach others. Also to live in a bit city rather than the countryside. Not to mention she lost her desire to have special powers (when Mari told her she may be special with her magic, Yohane humbly declined and it made her nervous). Really quite a stretch.iunne said: Personally, I feel like Mari, Riko and Yohane are the most "out-of-character" compared with their Sunshine versions.

I actually prefer chaotic and troll Mari way more, but oh well. i always see people say the characters are completely different to their sunshine counterparts. but to me they're all the same but with different circumstances. like mari in sunshine for example would act the same way she did in this show, but she had kanan and dia by her side, giving her more confidence to become the shiny girl we saw in sunshine (otherwise she would be the lonely daughter of the rich family that didn't have any friends). All in all, I find many of these girls different from their Sunshine counterparts. Not all of them, of course. But my personal rankings are definitely different in Genjitsu vs Sunshine. |

| I'm living in the best timeline, the entire anime has been a pleasure for me, but these last 2 episodes they're on another level, I loved the music, I loved to see Guilty Kiss together, they're by far the best Aqours sub-unit, Aikyan's voice at the beginning of "Hey, dear my friends!" gave me chills. |
| This show's dramatic cliffhangers are jokes lol. Another wholesome episode. Not really a fan of Riko but seeing both Yohane and Mari comforting her was lovely. New song was also really good. |
| Great development with Riko, Yohane really changed her life at this point, for how she's going to evolve and not feel alone by purpose again, good thing she decided to stay in the city for now |
 |
| I like this Riko way more than the original lol AND I CANNOT BELIEVE MY GIRL RUBY ALMOST KILLED HER, AMAZING.  Also, cute Guilty Kiss ❤️❤️❤️  |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| LOL @ the beginning, guess even the "supposed Maou" Mari is scared of ghosts or monsters. Also... Riko... try not to hurt the little animals... . I love the mid-episode song, awwww. . |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Well, we see how deeply connected the unit of Guilty Kiss is in this alternative world. I would also love to see more background stories from the others as well. A strengthening episode overall. |
