| 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 π€·πΎβοΈ 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 ..π© 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 |

| This was a really nice festival episode it was great seeing the girls able to have fun. |
| 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 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| 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.   |
| "Are ya a grizzly bear trying to catch a salmon?" Growl Miwa (and some cats) got the ED this episode. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| P.A.Works continues to show high level of quality. Special endings for girls - respectful behavior towards such adorable characters Miwa was the first castle to fall π |
| Three of them getting flustered when Yuu comes near or when comes to praising him so golden.. Niko we say flat is justice, you are still best girl. |
| Suddenly, I didn't remember that Miwa was the one responsible for photo from ten years ago. |
| So, Miwa was the picture's owner... She's so cute Good episode |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| Really wholesome show with nice comedy. Pacing is good and characters are a joy to watch. Sometimes a simple, but exacting show is all you really need, and this show has certainly been that up to this point! |

Is it a hot take to say that I think this show is far more enjoyable than The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity? I actually think this show is the romance of the season.
| @dulcetrefrain_ I am enjoying both shows, but as a comedy man I look forward to this show much more. |
| 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. |
| A great win for Yuu on all points. This activity remember me of the good old time of Takeshi Castle! Love to see the relation between Yuu and the sisters growing up, I think Kazuki is the one with the most feelings about Yuu! |
 |
| In the end everything kind of worked out. It's a start, but Yuu will need to do a lot more if he is to get the sisters acting as a family again. |
So this is the view from up there. Fascinating. |

| Damn, this episode was simply beautiful and wholesome β¨β€οΈ |
| this was so good, wow, the emotions was really well done i'm really loving it |
| if you hated this episode/chapter, just watch/read something else... 100k on IG (https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh) Discord (https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7) for anime links / news / recom etc |
| 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. |

| @dulcetrefrain_ Yeah, I really love this show. I also like Fragrant Flower a lot, but this feels really special somehow. The scenes with the sisters in the bedroom and the post credit scene were really cute in this episode. |

@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_Spectre_01 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. |

Kenpachi_91 said: 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.Also him not booking a room after creating that itinerary, going through that challenge, and not packing an overnight bag is a crazy oversight. |
| Mediocre show and the little boy absolutely did make them goof off the night before their matches. But, I want the orange tsundere to win. Or harem ending. I think I like Dandadan most this season. |
 |
| 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. |
| Unlike 99% of the harem animes out there, I can actually understand why the girls like the MC in this one. |
 |
| What a wholesome festival episode~ Yuu and Niko got to share an umbrella! 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. |
 |
| It was heartwarming how Yuu tried so hard to complete the nenuphar jump to be able to recreate the pictures the girls took 10 years ago <3 good episode, they sure realized Yuu's qualities at the end of the episode |
 |
| Oh boy Yuu really does seem to have an immense amount of RIZZ. It was good to see that his plan worked out in the end and that the sisters had a fun festival together :}. It seems like Yuu may achieve his goal of a "family life"...yet I have a feeling there is much trouble ahead for our MC :{. |
 |
| 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... |
