Mona always worried about what's on phones is the most Mona thing ever.

Looks like Halloween turned into another chance for her to charm Medaka. And as usual, she can't stop worrying about her rival. It's a fun episode but man, Medaka really can't get any peace at school or anywhere lul

This is one of those anime where they prove that no matter how good the individual elements are (animation, acting, etc), if the original concept is terrible, then the entire thing is dead on arrival.

"Are there no lines you won't cross?" said Asahi to herself when Mona came out in the sexy mummy costume lol. I'm thinking that the costume that Medaka liked may be an animal type like a bee based on the colors.

Mona being more upset at Medaka's lockscreen being a girl in a bikini rather than herself was amusing, maybe he'd use her pic if she was wearing a bikini too... Anyways, I'm curious to see how the Halloween party turns out.

Deleting the pic right in front of Mona? Not cool bro. Tell her she is cute. Save the pic. Set the lockscreen back to cat.

I think I like the geometry of this show. Central triangle. Each girl has a wing-gal. DudeMC has two bros.

I am becoming more fascinated with Asahi's eyes.
Goth Asahi is pretty cool, as well.

Mona def showed up in the cutest outfit for the expedition. Need to work on your casual clothes, Asahi.

Silly Mona, guys, and even silly self Medaka. The only costume choice to bait Medaka is a neko costume.

Funny episode as usual. Would've loved a Mummy Mona, but guess that's too much of fan-service. Glad she found the answer she wanted in regards to what Medaka likes as a halloween costume though. Excited to see how the party would turn out.

Mona getting jealous of his phone lockscreen was adorable.
The group outing to pick halloween costumes led to some funny moments. Mona guessing wrong the costume Medaka chose was expected but still hilarious.
Also nice to see Mona still trying to find ways to appeal to Medaka, this show became really cute imo.

I'm with you on that statement. Mona feels more like a villainess. She is supposably not to have any feelings for Medaka and is just teasing him because he doesn't show any attention to her.

I’m convinced Shou’s VA is overqualified for the job lol, that boy can scream, his character really reminds me of Megane from Urusei Yatsura because of that, it helps that Shou also wears glasses to further the similarities, wasn’t expecting to like this guy so much lol. And he was also the mastermind behind the lock screen bit which was a lot of fun, I knew the moment that happened that Mona would be seeing it, her reaction was good but the misunderstanding was cleared pretty quickly, still a funny bit regardless tho.

And it’s Halloween time baby! I love when Halloween gets a spotlight in anime, a lot of them tend to skip it so it pleases my spooky heart, kinda sad that Asahi isn’t very into Halloween tho, I can fix her lol. And this led to some very nice scenes of the girls trying on costumes, some were a bit too low key to be considered a costume but Mona’s mummy was too over the top, she was destined to choose the wrong costume the second she decided to eavesdrop lol, I won’t complain about the nice fanservice tho. But in the end Mona went with a different costume understandably so, I’m excited to see how the Halloween party goes down!

And ooooh new ED, I prefer the first one but I like this one too, the surprise of a new one in the middle of the season is also nice.

@TheColonel76 That expression, which we don't really get to see. Just her walking back to the stairs. But that is a jealous woman walk, right there. The one you should dread. LOL Asahi is so right, Mona doesn't even know her own feelings. But seeing them on that screen shot scared the crap out of her! ROFLMAO. This girl is Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile. LOL

Medaka’s class is really starting to annoy me. The guy can’t even do what he wants, he doesn’t want to go to the Halloween party, but social pressure and Mona’s simps won’t let him say no.

The episode was fine; I liked Asahi’s costumes more than Mona’s, but the mummy outfit easily won the award for most indecent. This anime really needs some character development—not just in terms of forming couples, but in actually deepening their personalities.

@Sheol01 I really do wish we coulda seen the expression lol, but we got a good idea at least. And yes Mona freaking out over that photo was the bee’s knees, she doesn’t even realize her own expressions when she’s in situations like that lol.

ahahaha this show is great and just keeps getting better and better. Mona is still kind of annoying but she's gotten more tolerable over the past couple of episodes.

Lots of funny moments to take away from this episode.. the lock screen, the sent photos and last but not least.. The mummy costume and the reactions that came with it. Curious to see what Mona picked. I assume its the costume Medaka pointed to but we will have to see.

@Marinate1016 I wholeheartedly agree. I was this close to dropping it when she showed up. I find Mona insufferable and Medaka bland and boring, but Asahi turning up the heat has made this more enjoyable for me. YMMV.

Medaka should’ve simply went to the bathroom. Going to the roof and somehow losing hold of his phone was ridiculous.

Mona of course, is annoying as per usual. It seems she is trying to level up her annoyance as “Queen Bee” every episode. Sadly, it’s working somehow.

Poor Medaka, he can’t catch a break at all. I feel sorry for the guy.

Asahi is best girl.

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

after some wallpaper shenanigans that luckily didn't go for the worst and didn't last too long, that Halloween surprise reveal was nice (and didn't expect at all Mona with a ... monkey costume)

Minami... or Shizuku? Go back to Nijigasaki. Jokes aside, it wasn't a bad introduction for her.

Medaka: "Somebody's watching meeee" (fitting for the spooky season). But that horse head somehow worked. How bad can it be a pixelated costume? A "mummy" one? That's it? Or will it be a literal queen bee one? Oh well, it will be discovered soon.

oh, no, same costume misunderstanding even if nothing that scandalous happened. Mummy contest, and with free snacks for a year? How can they all afford it? And to be honest, the eyecatch with angry Asahi was the best moment. Mona and Medaka lost and she couldn't even take a picture together... alone. Damn, at the end a nice photo appeared but still he couldn't find the guts to use it. Yay, more characters with Love Live seiyuus coming.

Halloween coming up is a interesting choice for a plot, but alright we'll see how this goes. I do like how they handle the fan service and do it with comedy which always reminds me of My Dress-Up Darling. I also love the new EN for this episode. We also finally know what religion Medaka is which is a monk in training. I looked up his religion and I saw that monks in Japan are not allowed to marry or have children because it gets in the way of religious practices. If we see how this series will end, Medaka will either stop training to be a monk or Mona will find out and feel sorry and just only be best friends with him. Anyway I just can't stop watching this series and now everyone can stop saying "I don't like this series because Medaka makes no sense and is a nothing character." People need to start judging when they get to a real point and fully develop the characters. For instants, most characters in popular anime don't have their full personalities by episode one like for a example Monkey D. Luffy wasn't fully developed in episode 1 because he was someone who loved to fight and make people mad, but later we saw him give advice and tell the other characters their in the wrong. People need to stop judging characters when we don't know the full story yet. Seeing so many people drop this show because of Medaka being one dimensional in the first few episodes doesn't make sense because it's part of the mystery. For those who hate this show, I'm happy to say that now your problems are fixed, so y'all can finally stop complaining about this show already.

Anyway, I don't mean any hate towards anyone who hates this show. I just wanted to voice my opinion on this manner. I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more!!

Yelp, if Sho cannot entice Kuroiwa with a bikini girl screensaver, then Mona's hardcore lover Tsubomi has the irrefutable evidence that she is indeed in love with Kuroiwa. And for the love of God, Tsubomi just casually sending it to him and avoiding everyone else, he just had to swipe left and miss the opportunity of seeing them together. This leaves Sho unsatisfied, and Mona personally sending her selfie...just instead, infuriates him all the more. And since Halloween is also coming, the guys forcing Kuroiwa to come with Mona being the wiser, this'll only spell disaster.

The group going out to shop for Halloween costumes, and Mona in her casual wear is always that appealing...if only Asahi didn't join in thanks to Yuzuru inviting her along. And since her good friend Minami just so happened to eavesdrop on the group's discussion, her being forward to give Asahi a chance to impress Kuroiwa with her costume, makes sense. But with Mona stalking the guys and wanting to know what Kuroiwa would prefer, the one suit that Mona wore, sure goes all risque being a mummy, as much as both Tsubomi and Asahi took customes that pretty much fit them right out of the store.

New ED by Rikada Aiko...I pretty much preferred the 1st ED.

Once again, if the roles were reversed, everyone would be flipping out and calling out the sexual harassment. But since Mona is a cute girl, no one says a peep

I hate how Mona runs, its so weird.

Asahi's outfit >>>>> Mona's ruffled shorts outfit

They should've dressed up as cat girls lol he loves cats

The episode had a few ecchi moments, but they were weak compared to the previous ones, and the episode itself felt weak. The girls looked more attractive in their casual dresses than in the costumes.

I’d prefer if the plot actually get interesting—I'm only enjoying it because of the comedy and fanservice. If nothing else happens, my views on the show might change.

The 1st half is so unrealistic, boys don't really care to change their wallpapers or just something generic smh my head

I have a feeling the costume Medaka likes is actually a cat, maybe he'll wear it in the halloween event next episode

And damn there's a 2nd ED for this show?
