| This is why the digital age can fuel drama like rumors revolving Anna this episode. Not surprisingly, Kyoutarou got himself involved when he realized someone on the web is apparently obssessed with her. On the other hand, this episode also shows that Kyoutarou truly cares about her seeing how much he's worried. |

| Yamada taking the challenge on by coming up with a name only she uses to address him in Kyotaro, lol. She's a very natural addition to the Ichikawa family and even ended up posting in the house on her official SNS page. A deeper understanding of Ichikawa which led to that ad-lib during the shooting, it's nice how they add all these small details. Sekine-san's directness is a formidable force, she's adjusted to the winger role way too well already. Couldn't figure out what the comments online about her were about, dang it. Gotta check that out first thing. Must've been pretty dramatic given how Ichikawa lost his calm and, to be honest, it would leave anyone concerned. Glad to see Yamada's mother being understanding, I still remember her very first screen time and she gave bad alarms but thankfully, she turned out to be the exact opposite in reality. Didn't expect a simultaneous but indirect confession though! Phew, that caught me off-guard for sure. Yamada's parents are very close, huh? That's nice to see. For the pig user to be the bijin acquaintance was pretty anticlimactic, if I'm to be strictly honest but thank God, it wasn't anything serious, after all. Looks like he'll be keeping a close eye on the Otaku from now on, that's a relief. Felt for Ichikawa there when she didn't pick up his username though, it was perfect timing but wasn't meant to be, I suppose, lmao. Under the 2-hour mark for content left to adapt this season, they better leave some time for the dai-big event we'll have been waiting for! |

| Monogatari flashbacks intensify You know, considering the fact that the two of them are what is essentially dating now, their day to day interactions have not changed a lot, in fact they have not changed at all ... wonder when they gonna, seal the deal kind of way ... And yeah, i can see one being deeply worried about their loved ones if they visit Hiroshima ... .. . |

| I was so hyped to the indirect confession scene that I started to get nervous when I noticed we were getting closer to it. In the manga, the way it splits panels to show both Kyoutarou/Anna and Mother/Dad was so beautiful I was hoping they would do the same for the anime and that was great. I was expecting them to adapt the rest of Volume 7 in this episode but they somehow left 3 pages for the next episode. Which kinda makes sense, since it is something relatively important but not exactly related to what happens in this episode. A fun fact about this episode. In the manga, when Yamada-mother comes to the bed to talk to Anna, she (mom) sits right next to the phone and Kyoutarou ends up seeing her undies instead of only her legs. The one who actually stop him from seeing more of it is Anna herself, embarassed. Guess animating that part could end up raising the rating, so they changed huh. |
| Love that Ichikawa will immediately try and protect Yamada when he sees a potential threat to her in this case an obsessed fan but thankfully nothing bad happened. It's also great that Yamada and Ichikawa both confessed their love for each other albeit indirectly. |
| If one didn't know better this sit's like the morning after moment. Moeko either is really lucky with her convo topics or she has a keen sixth sense. Anna really did well to be praised by a vet of the industry. The manner of how Anna vanished during that voice call though was bound to spook anyone. Still it sure led to one hell of a moment when Anna machine gunned Kyo with her reply. That sure was a unique way of telling the parents though. Im glad that in the end that the Pig didn't end up doing anything. |

| This crazy toxic Japanese idol culture can go to hell. Yamada's dad blushing. I'm blessed. Ooohhh damn! I didn't expect this! Now the only people that don't know that Ichikawa and Yamada like each other are Ichikawa's parents and the boys lol. NO WAY IT'S HER Oh, I've heard about places like that. I'd like to go someday, but I bet it'll be super stressfull lol. 21:27 What imaginary Ichikawa said here was "Wants to be more grown up? (profound meaning)" (kakko means brackets). So a part of him was thinking about lewd things lol. I've had a heavy feeling in my chest most of the episode, holy damn. This anime can make me feel anyting. Really reminded me of Oshi no Ko. Also I'm really interested in how will Pig Man and Thanatos interact from now on. EDIT: So apparently pig_man1209 and thanatos_moros are real twitter accounts and they post the exact same tweets from the episode. And yes, pig_man1209 blocked thanatos_moros. Amazing. |

| That was tense as hell. The way Ichikawa was scrambling to look out for Yamada's safety, the showdown between Ichikawa and Pig Man, ... This show is really something else. Indirect confession and Yamada's parents approve. Let's go! |

| Quite a lot happened in this episode but it was still a fun watch, even if a bit tense at times. It sucks how awful culture surrounding idols and popular figures can be in Japan and even for celebrities globally, as some have been harmed by stalkers or even loved ones of celebrities for jealousy reasons to name as an example. Ichikawa noticed someone was stalking and revealing personal information online and with Yamada's phone flying into the water with the camera angle looking much more terrifying than in reality, makes sense for him to be frazzled and all over the place as to how to deal with this. But he did have good intentions and wanted to protect her to the best that he could, so good on him for doing so whilst also warning Yamada to be a bit more careful in the future since she is a rising figure for sure as a model and rising actress. Was a rollercoaster at times and the first few minutes definitely were on the fast side to get to the meat of the episode but it was a good episode as a whole. It was also wholesome seeing Ichikawa and Anna confess in split their feelings on their crushes to Yamada's parents respectively, albeit in different situations and settings. |
| This was an amazing but tense episode. An otaku using his experiences and fearing the worst of parasocial creeps to look out for Anna. Ichikawa as a character keeps getting better and better. That indirect confession was amazing and the parents approval was awesome. I need MORE!! |
| a bit too rushed and missing a lot of details compared manga. and i think the timeline is abit confusing. still a solid episode for anime only |
| He confessed to her dad before her lmao, still great though, he pretty much got his approval and friend code. Good luck playing monhun(probably MH Rise since they're playing on switch) with him. Patiently waiting for MonHun wilds next year. Maybe I'll go back to world myself. Who would have thought that pigman was actually a hot model, one Anna admires too. Love Moeko btw, for teasing Kyotarou. She's always hella amusing. Also morning Yamada power is lethal. |
 |
| Yeah, the most beautiful, cute looking girls out there could be overly obsessive creepy af stalkers too. So be on the lookout. They've confessed.. not to each other but to the parents. I mean at least Yamada's parents know the deal. For the actual authentic confession, I'm pretty sure we'd get that by the final episode. Though school trip needs to start first. Episode went by in a flash tho, once again. |
 |
| Didn't expect that story about toxic Twitter fans. Very impacting. |
| First scene in and I get flashbacks from Monogatari |
| What an episode with suspenseful moments! Luckily it all worked out at the end although that "Pig_man" model girl is something else. It's great how Anna's dad is actually a nice guy despite his intimidating aura and how he essentially approved of Kyotaro by giving him his friend's code for gaming. |
| Dunno how the show can keep doing this!! Its just diabetes on screen <3 The pacing did feel a bit rushed putting 5 chapters (95-99) in 1 episode as they seem to have skimmed over a few things They rearranged the initial conversation with Kyo overhearing anna and her mom. It did make it more romantic this way. My favourite is still Kyo visiting the dad, a dual confession to each parent who now both understand the situation and pretty much approved. What a chad confessing to her dad and even getting his friend code (id love to play monster hunter with Yamadad as well) The Karte moment though didnt hit as hard this episode (probably would have been better if they fit it with the dual confession) |
| this anime just keeps going better and better wtf |
 |
| Just when I think I’ve seen the best bokuyaba episode, they just surpass my expectations with another. This might be my fave yet and the biggest step forward for Kyo and Anna! Anna being in the spotlight as an idol means of course there’s going to be thirsty otaku who watch her every move. Kyo is right to be concerned about her wellbeing and causing issues for her. Like the dude who noticed that she was at someone else’s house in that IG pic! Ramen stalker account was definitely creepy too so I don’t blame Kyo for making an account and trying to do research on em. When Ana fell in the water and the phone call got cut I almost thought we were gonna get an Oshi no Ko collab lmao. Thankfully it was all a big misunderstanding and it was just Yamada’s mom. The fact Kyo couldn’t sleep or do anything without worrying about Anna’s safety was so cute. Even went to see her dad. Meanwhile Yamada was about to write an old fashioned letter to him just to let him know she was ok. They’re so damn cute. Biggest thing we got from that is now Anna’s mom and dad know what’s up between she and Kyo! I’m so proud of Kyo for straight up telling Anna’s dad how he felt! Mr Yamada giving Kyo his switch friend code to play Monster Hunter after he confessed was so cool lmao. Type of dad I aspire to be. Awesome episode |

| Pretty tense episode, but very accurate in terms of how Internet stalkers can be. Glad it wasn't anything too serious, it really played with my emotions. Really wholesome dynamics between Anna and her mom and also Kyoutarou with Anna's dad as well. At this point, it's clear how much Anna and Kyoutarou care for one another. Full speed to the end! |
| They had us in the first half ngl in regards to the Pig Man stuff this episode lol, it actually got pretty scary when Ichikawa kept following up on that account’s updates which had me thinking we were in for an Oshi no Ko situation, the scene with the phone falling in the water had things seeming especially bad but this was also when I started thinking it was just that she dropped her phone and things were not as they seemed, and then the reveal happened at the end with “Pig Man” being that fellow model that Yamada was working with, and although the fixation is still a bit sus, it felt like the clouds had lifted over that rollercoaster of a situation lol, good stuff. And now Ichikawa has a model in his contacts besides Yamada, nice. There was some other good stuff in this episode too like that opening scene of Yamada brushing her teeth which no doubt gave me Monogatari flashbacks lol, and the situation with Pig Man also resulted in both Ichikawa and Yamada telling her parents that they liked each other, so in a way it’s good that things happened this way, and now Ichikawa has a gaming buddy lol. And I also noticed Ichikawa’s Twitter pfp, he’s a cultured lad without a doubt. |
| So this episode was good loved Ichi coming to "Rescue" Anna, the interaction with the dad was just what I expected, I love his character. I don't understand how people can get this far into the season and hate it? Like if you hate why are you watching it now? Just curious not complaining. |

| "I love.. Anna/Kyotaro." AAAAAAAAAAA |

| Yamada went to film a movie, and Ichikawa was worried to see that the world Yamada lives in had become something not private, to the point of discovering an overly enthusiastic fan super interested in Yamada. Ichikawa's concern reached a peak when he saw that Yamada was startled by someone, abruptly cutting off their video call. He had to resort to his future father-in-law to find out that Yamada was alright. The moment when Yamada tells her mother that she likes Ichikawa and he tells Yamada's father that he likes her was sweet (Ichikawa really has guts). In the end, the obsessive fan turned out to be an idol we already knew. The good thing is that Yamada is aware of Ichikawa's concern, so she promised to be more cautious. Ichikawa's concern doesn't seem exaggerated to me, as some Japanese excessively idolize their public figures to the point of being quite toxic, and checking Twitter doesn't help at all. |

| This week a wild otaku stalker appeared! Kyou is all worried for Anna, could it be more wholesome? Of course it turned out to be nothing in the end but at least Yamada papa finally got what he really wanted, to give his friend code to Kyoutaro. |
we are getting more and more unofficial confessions every week.  |

This crazy toxic Japanese idol culture can go to hell.
Yamada's dad blushing. I'm blessed.
Ooohhh damn! I didn't expect this! Now the only people that don't know that Ichikawa and Yamada like each other are Ichikawa's parents and the boys lol.
NO WAY IT'S HER
Oh, I've heard about places like that. I'd like to go someday, but I bet it'll be super stressfull lol.
21:27 What imaginary Ichikawa said here was "Wants to be more grown up? (profound meaning)" (kakko means brackets). So a part of him was thinking about lewd things lol.
I've had a heavy feeling in my chest most of the episode, holy damn. This anime can make me feel anyting. Really reminded me of Oshi no Ko.
Also I'm really interested in how will Pig Man and Thanatos interact from now on.
EDIT: So apparently pig_man1209 and thanatos_moros are real twitter accounts and they post the exact same tweets from the episode. And yes, pig_man1209 blocked thanatos_moros. Amazing.
