Festival based episode already this season. Fun.

Episode had the classic yukata, games, etc. They definitely made some memories here but I find it amusing how the sisters have to share a room with him at night. All those photos though. Yeah, they should treasure those memories.

AHHHH the way this episode got my heart fluttering. Yuu is gonna go down as one of the goat harem protags, even though it’s shonen, romance stories written by women just come out better on average, I’m sorry 🀷🏾‍♂️ this is so cute. Not only has he successfully brought the girls closer and got them seeing each other as proper sisters/family, BUT he’s also thinking about what it is THEY want in life instead of being forced to conform to society. Love it.

Perfect example of this is Kazuki. To the world she’s the quintessential prince-coded girl, but she wants to be pampered and cared for herself. It’s so unfair to put that much responsibility on someone from such a young age. She never got a chance to be the princess for once and get saved by the knight in shining armor, it’s always her doing the rescuing. So Yu fixing up her foot today was a really sweet opportunity for her to sit back and let someone else figure out things for once. That cute little blush she made ..😩

The way Yuu was so determined to get across that pond and win a picture for the girls so they could recreate that iconic moment from their childhood, the last time they were truly a family, is so sweet. That’s the sort of stuff that makes you fall in love. Here’s a guy who should have no reason to want to help these girls, they’ve been nothing but rude to him from their initial meeting, and he’s still determined to bring them closer and put himself on the line! The picture came out so nice too!

Speaking of which, I figured it was Miwa who was keeping the picture from the start. When we saw how introverted she really is in school, it just fit her character to hold onto something like that silently all these years. Kazuki and Niko are my faves rn, but I’m sure she’ll grow on me too.

All the blushes and nervous looks from the girls today were so cute. They might be prodigies in their respective fields, but they’re amateurs with love so it’ll be fun to see that continue to develop. Glad everything went well with their events too, I thought them staying up at night would mess up their concentration, but if anything, Yuu’s actions gave them that boost they needed to go even harder!

Great episode

The sisters are more grateful than they like to admit. Good job, Yuu.

And of course they still managed to perform well the next day xD

I won’t lie — this was a very strange episode in a very strange way hahahahahahahahahaha!

I can’t say it was bad! But I also can’t say it was good!! The writing was very, very weak and plain… but the episode was honestly enjoyable!

I don’t know if you understand this feeling, but I felt like I’ve seen this anime in other shows… and yet at the same time, it feels unique in its own way.

I don’t know — the episode was just so average, but I still ended up saying....- “Alright, see you next week with the next episode!” Hahaha! Goodbye.

Awww it was adorable from start to finish: Yuu trying so hard to win that 'challenge' to recreate the picture from the past and make the sisters happy, that beautiful scene with the umbrellas, the sisters crush being extremely obvious in the cramped space of the hotel room, the sisters finally bonding and getting a bit closer for real once Yuu is asleep (and they looked so happy about it).

So, Miwa was the one who kept the old picture, interesting.
I had a good laugh at that scene after the ED theme, they end up being so embarrassed haha.

Great episode, my favorite so far :)

My sixth sense somehow let me guess the owner of the photo right and it actually was Miwa. I don't think Yuu was being selfish in trying to win that festival game thingy rather he just got a little blindsided by it but his intentions were pure. I mean he literally forgot to get himself a room so I doubt he's thinking about only himself.

Also I gotta say I refuse to believe that game was hard like it would only take a few tries to find the correct pattern and get to the other side

Comparing anime works makes you lose the enjoyment of one at the expense of the other. Also, there is no basis for comparing the two works. One is a harem and the other is a pure love story, so how can you compare them?

Additionally, neither of the works has been fully released yet, so how can you start comparing them? Based on this principle, you have done both works an injustice, haven't you?

Enjoy each work, and if there is something you don't like, just leave it! If we were to compare our favorite works with others, we would have all stopped watching anime a long time ago!

My advice: give both works a chance πŸ‘πŸ»

One thing I can say about Yuu and that is his persistence which got him to succeed in crossing the pond to the torii gate in the middle in order to re-create the photo that the Mikadono sisters had done in the past. He might've failed many times, but I do commend his efforts in succeeding.

Another thing is that he's also rather forgetful. He went out of his way to book the hotel room for the sisters, not one for himself. The sisters were kind enough to let him sleep in their room for the night, although the fact that they were very self aware of the fact that he was sleeping in their kept them up at night, which made this scene even funnier.

I will admit that I guessed incorrectly in who took the original photo of the sisters from Yuu. My guess was Kazuki, but it was actually Miwa who got it back. Speaking of, this episode had the ED dedicated to Miwa and the artstyle looked rather pleasant and the song itself was nice and relaxing. Bonus points for featuring many cats as well! =3

I didn’t expect her to be the one to be the secret “helper” in getting the sisters to bond, but glad that everyone got a good ending to the festival and the episode. I am really impressed at how this anime is playing out—really didn’t know what a P. A. Works harem anime would look like since it is so out of their wheel house of usual anime.

Damn my man, what a fantastic episode, an episode that made me shed a little tear, our Yuu acted like a great shonen hero, what determination to succeed in a test that no one had succeeded in 10 years, his personal development is coming
This boy Yuu is so kind


I knew that Miwa was the owner of the photo, we see throughout that she wants to reconnect with her sisters


This festival was so sweet and moving, seeing the reunion between sisters, the end of the episode when they express their gratitude with a thank you, magnificent

Thought it was going to follow the usual anime cold trope where he'd lose, get soaked from the rain and falling in the pond, and then each of them would take turns taking care of him the next day.

Felt like it was setting that up. But I'm glad they subverted it and went in a different direction. Nice job doing something more original.

It's funny how the sisters (or at least Kazuki) reciprocates imagining Yuu as a cat, and that their idea for a missing person poster was practically a public love confession.

I'm glad Miwa let Yuu know she took the photo back. Can only imagine the unimaginable guilt he'd feel for thinking he lost something so precious.

4 episodes in and, as per the title, it's all been easy so far. Perhaps there'll be bigger issues to deal with, but I'm fine with the positivity. It's my AOTS thus far I think, though it's too early to say and I'm not watching many shows.

@Wrathberry84 The only thing that makes My dress up darling better than this is animation and that's it. As for The Fragrant flower blooms with dignity, going purely by it's first 3 episodes, I'd say they're on par or it's just slightly better.

The most dramatic fall at the start of the episode. That sandal step breaking somehow equated to her as if she was falling from a cliff.

Femboy coming in with the assist for Kazuki.

Also him not booking a room after creating that itinerary, going through that challenge, and not packing an overnight bag is a crazy oversight.

The first episode of Fragrant Flower was really great, the second and third were a bit weaker I found. But now we finally have Subaru, who all the manga readers are raving about, so I'm excited to see where that goes at least.

it wasn't an oversight from his part. He wanted the sisters to spend time with each other in the same room, so he didn't booked another room and was going to cafe or straight back home.

The dude is such a short king, he's such husband material. He cooks, cleans, and is constantly thoughtful of the girls individual personalities. I love all our main girls too they're all mean in the same prideful way but they really do want to get along. Such a good show so far. Favorite is Niko btw. She seemed to like him first out of anyone. Plus I love her voice and design.

The Mikadono sisters defense are so weak that just being near Yuu makes them red like tomatoes lol

So Miwa is the owner of the photo, she seems to be the one who cares about their bond the most... sweet~

...yeah, in hindsight Kazuki would have been easily recognized at a summer festival so Yuu actually didn't think through it all (even if the mask later on helped).

i was afraid that goddamn rain had ruined everything, but glad in hindsight Yuu won that event and the three sisters had the updated photo taken (and correctly guessed it was Miwa having it). Also, all of them failing to get some sleep. Who are you, Kagura? At least they don't bother Yuu like she did with Gintoki, and he still succeeded in making them bond again.

Too bad i actually wanted to see everyone's planned performance, especially Niko's, especially if it seems it was about katas like that fierce, wonderful stance of her seen on television seemed to suggest.

Even in kimonos for the night festival, the Mikadono sisters (at least for Kazuki being the crowd favorite) are just as appealing.

As strong as Kazuki looks, she tries her best to be the perfect prince, but in Yu's case, he is absolutely her knight in shining armour, taking care of others and being taken care of by someone else, when it comes to being pampered. And of course, Yu still has his goal to achieve of the competitor's luck contest with the guardian statue alright, though it's a feat that no one has surpassed since the Mikadono sisters succeeded in a decade, that he tries his best to overcome as many times as it takes to reach the torii gate by hook and by crook, and it takes a skill of wealth to think like the sisters and reach his goal. Regrettably, the completion in bad weather forces the sisters to look after him, and he kind of misses the chance to have the photo together, as much as the sisters fight over him, with Niko getting her chance to do so under the umbrella together.

As much as the sisters share one room together, Yu unforunately doesn't have his own separate room, and the sisters look unto him like a wild pet in need of shelter, despite him wanting the sisters to have their own time together. However, the sisters have their hearts even more flustered even more with him around, and at least Yu doesn't have to play Sherlock Holmes with the rightful owner taking the photo back from him. In truth, the sisters pretty much had fun themselves just like in their young days, especially Miwa who yearned for the days of old.

The crisis management of how the Mikadono sisters see each of their private time with Yu, and it's pretty obvious that the game of love will be an even overbearing circumstance to overcome...
