I noticed again how much i love the dialouge of this series. Such a level up from most other generic anime. Witty and sarcastic, as if it were british people in japan.

Cannot believe that they managed to make an ED song more greater than the previous season.
Those first few seconds of the song is incredibly catchy.

Aobuta saga has a fatal flaw: baggage. From the TV anime season1 and three more movies, a lot of side characters have been accumulated and must be carried on, thereby focus is lost. The original sin was S1 not dropping Tomoe's endless-8 arc wholesale (she's unimportant) and focus with more episodes on those who matter. Ever since more and more BGS mugs must be remembered, which isn't easy or otherwise people lose track of what's going on. I'm sure 95% of viewers (me included) didn't remember or never even knew who Kirishima Touko is and had to look it up mid-episode...

Something went astray in BGS around the 3rd movie, which was so uninteresting I fell asleep watching it. It a pity the LN author and antimation studio lost focus, because S1 was spectacular. BTW, Sakuta must have 36hrs days, else all jobs / things he does wouldn't fit in his timetable from dusk till dawn and around. I find that distracting.

It's great to see Sakuta and Mai back on the screen again, and there's definitely more interesting stuff to expect. CloverWorks be cooking hard this summer!

I missed the old ED song though :>

I'm so glad this is back as a full season. I loved the movies, but an anime season is much better. And more content!

I'm curious what the relevance is going to be of the new girl who also doesn't have a cell phone that has befriended Sakuta.

I only wish we got to see a bit more of Mai, but I'm glad the dialogue still has that same vibe it always has. That's always been the biggest draw of this show for me. I'm looking forward to next week!

Very, very good beginning episode!

Welcome back, Sakuta and Mai! Wish the couple to have more quality time together.

Once again, Sakuta must solve another Puberty Syndrome case...

Of all the post-graduation updates to Sakuta's social circle, him and Futaba being fellow teachers at a cram school is the most surprising. It's awesome that they're still close, though.

While I miss the first season's ED, considering they reused it for all three movies I guess it's understandable they had to finally change it. That beach walk was iconic.

Peak.

Also, I saw a good jump in animation quality, the first instance being the animation on Mio’s skirt when she sits down, it moved really fluidly. Then there was some cool hair animation and character acting here and there too.

This was a very refreshing episode and I think its going to be a very good sequel to the movie and series. I think its cool to see the characters more grown up and in college I do wish we had seen more of Mai in this episode though.

Ok so I figured out that the movies are REALLY IMPORTANT and unfortunately I only watched the first one so I’m SOL right now with understanding some newer characters and plot points. So before I watch any more episodes I need to catch those 2 movies.

Other than that things look good, the Bunny Girl vibe is back with the cool banter/comeback lines between the characters. It looks like Mai may not be a major focus of this season, and if so that would suck. Also I guess this Kaede isn’t “Panda Kaede” from S1 based on the vibe I am getting from her.

episode 4/5


seeing sakuta and mai together this season is so comforting, it's a shame that mai may appear little this season, but the little bit of their moment was already great and it's good that this anime is back, the first season I had mixed opinions about this anime but now I'm trying to reformulate...


It looks like the season will focus on girls who are idols and probably someone dressed as Santa Claus

The episode overall was smooth and with some random conversations, the animation and direction remains the same so everything is fine for now. Looking forward to the next episode

We are so back. With the next season being the next arc of life. We got a lot of different faces popping up o:, lots of things being set up. The first episode was really good; very well-made.

Man I'm more hyped than I thought I would be. Really excited to see how this goes. I missed this sort of vibe. Cool that we now have an actual season instead of a movie too. I wonder if they'll do the ED switch-ups like in the first season, that was peak.

Never ending plan to watch list...

maybe because I watched Rent a Girlfriend right before this, but seeing Sakuta and the others in university made the vibes feel like Rent

Also, I miss The Peggies, I know they are on hiatus, but they could have gotten Q.I.S. to make a song for the show.

To be honest, I always completely forget what this show even was about. I only remember the main couple and that it's quite enjoyable, but even after one season and two movies I don't know what "puberty syndrome" even is. All I know is that there was not enough Mai in this first episode.

It's been so long since I've seen this series it took me a while to remember everyone. It felt nice though seeing all of them living proper lives in university. I really wish they had kept the old closing but the new one is also pretty good.

I feel like Miori is going to have some connection to the Santa Claus girl just because she mentioned all of the previous symptoms of adolescence syndrome.

After almost 7 years and 3 movies, we finally have another season of AoButa!!!!

Pretty decent first episode to kick off the season, Sakuta is in college now with Noda and uzuki - there also happens to be a bit of dipuste going one between the two involving Sweet Bullet's future, there's this annonymous singer called Kirishima Touko, and there's this women wearing a santa costume. Now in regards to Kirishima Touko, maybe if I rewatched the last movie with subtitles I'd have an idea of who this person is, but alas I haven't so I have some homework to do.

One of my favourite parts about this series is the banter between characters, it's always so entertainingand I cannot get enough of it - especially between Sakuta and Mai-san. Sakuta also works as cram school tutor with Futaba, so I'm guessing that'll be the only time we get to see her. Which is a bit of a shame, but I'll take it. The OST so far has been good with there being some of the same tracks as the previous season. The OP is very ubpeat and reminiscent of season 1s as well as the ED having that similar jazz like feel as the first seasons. Which I'm also guessing that the focus girl of each arc with be singing the ED.

Pretty pumped to see how this season plays out, been a big fan of this series when it first came out so, I'm always excited when a new project comes out - let alone a new season!

Edit - Currently rewatching Knapsack Kid and forgot that not only is Ikumi in it, she is also going to the same college as Sakuta. So she's probably gonna play some sort of role at some point this season, which I'm looking forward to since she went to the same middle school as him. Also forgot that Kirishima Touko was teased in a Knapsack Kid, so it's good to see them bring them up again.

what an amazing episode, loved the new characters introduced, and I'm really loving the university setting. I feel like more romance animes should be set in university / colleges, we really don't have enough of those. Got to see returning characters like Futaba, I'm really loving this. The show has always felt realistic to me, the voice acting, dialogue and writing. So I'm looking super forward to this

Episode 1 - 2025-07-10

I honestly could not remember what happen in the story of the first part. I still haven't watched the movie/s related to this series. I am not sure if it is related to this one. Though, the first episode is still watchable for person like me who don't have the full picture.

Well, back to the series model. The movies weren't bad, but a lot of the drama is just waiting between episodes, at least that's how I see it.

Sakuta, the luckiest guy on the planet or the unluckiest? That's the real question...
