I always say they have great classmates, but in this case, they show up unexpectedly, and they ruined Marin's photo op with Gojo

Its really nice to see how Gojo went from having no friends in his class, besides Marin, to everyone’s favorite in one arc. All it took was everyone seeing him put his all into something.

Was gonna comment about Seira and how she was such a vibe but then later i saw those close ups of Gojo getting ready, sleeves up, loosen tie, oh my 🗿
and that face when he gets complimented, not a sin, purer than snow

As a class they're probably the best class in all anime
like not even in shows where they give full dedication to the whole classroom (like class of elite for example) have i felt so much attachment to side characters, theyre all so cool, so fashionable, so chill, so preety, so supportive, vibes = imaculate

ABSOLUTELY hype episode but I loved in particular Nowa at the karaoke singing "BABY BABY" by GING NANG BOYZ holy fuck W catch

It's the second song she sings around 18:45 with the yellow lights! I dunno the first one tho. The part she sings comes up in the pre-chorus around 1:08 of the song!

Another great eventful episode.

We got another educational short special today thanks to seira explaining us about botany and flower coloring. Also she saved gojo lot of work and was a big help. Gojo learning that relying on others isnt that bad as he makes out to be.

School festival arrives and our class is losing to class 3. Love how gojos class cares for him so much, they even remembered that poor boy hasnt eaten and even prepared meals for him. Really sweet of them.

Marin give some inspiration from rei sama and why she wants to win the paegant, not only for her but for gojos hardwork & others as well.

The entire class just casually walks in to watch gojo do marins makeup and damn thats some pressure, especially for someone like him whos reserved and introverted. But i also get everyones excitement on watching the cosplay process. Poor gojo was eating up anxiety like nothing and shaking. Almost drowning in it.

Then marin radiated that caring energy towards him and i love how the light came back to his eyes <3



Then did my boy lock in so harf from 0 to 100 real quick. The Nah i'd win energy. Everyone was looking in awe like "who is this guy, is it really our gojo?"
Gojo picking up on his memories & marins earlier quote and realizing that trying his best is not enough but being the best for himself and others who rely on him. He will be the pillar for marin when she needs it. This was one of his coolest moments till date.

Also the transition from his hina doll paintings to doing marins makeup. The symbolization that marin has become his real life hina doll. loved it



Then it was marins turn boy did she kill it on stage. The Aura farming with rei samas allure on point. All girls were dazzled including the host girl who got fan serviced literally. Yoisho indeed xD

Best part for me is when gojos looking at the stage and his inner feelings coming out looking at Marin. Boy he didnt stop describing every little detail about her like a artist describing his favorite masterpiece. Almost said the beautiful as well something he cherishes deeply for things he loves. My boy is Falling hard and i am all here for it and giggling while kicking my feet for real.



Also the fact when asked about the best parts of her cosplay marin credited him infront of everyone. ahh my heart. Bless these two.

No surprise they won, but the heartwarming scene with everyone complimenting gojo, not only acknowledging him and his efforts but literally calling him "star of the show" making him smile. So happy for him
Also i totally get gojo when he took a breather from the karaoke party, people like us cant maintain that level of energy for long we need our alone recharge moments. Marin came along worried for him and when talking about the waist grabbing technique remembers her and gojos hotel "encounter" *cough* riled her up again for sure & mushed her brains up with embarrassment.
Gojo becoming another victim of the crane machine was funny but also got marin her first gift from him if i am not wrong which is cute af. Also Marin finally taking up the courage to get a couples photo in the machine but thanks to the boys from the class gets c**kblocked. Made me swear so hard and then sigh.
Our girl cant catch a break, but hey gojo got his first memories with the boys. Bros before h- i am jk.



Next time Marin!

Remember in the last episode thread when someone said the romance became one-sided in S2 ? Yeah , they needed to wait one more week to see this beautiful Gojo's realization, on top of him proving everyone saying their romance is unrealistic wrong , Marin is way more lucky to have Gojo than the other way around.

Now that two of my fav chapters of the Manga got adapted , I need a season 3 ASAP because if you think this episode was peak (and it was) the final arc has the same level of quality this episode had but for the WHOLE ARC (imo) , if season 3 has the same quality production as S2 (and it should, director Keisuke Shinohara will stay , he said he wants to finish the series when he heard the Manga ended) we might see another banger season to finish the series.

Of course there's 6 episodes left so let's enjoy the ride while we can !

My God, how beautiful! I can't describe in words how much I like this arc. In the manga, it had more of an impact on me, but in the anime, it's SUPER cute.
Whenever this ED starts, I see Hariel's and I feel sad for waiting for this arc to be released. But please, Marin and Gojo, I love you, get married.

What a great episode! The dead silence in awe in the room while Gojo is doing his craft. Gojo and Marin knocked it out of the park with the beaucon entry. The cut to cut of the make up/hina doll tools, and Marin/the hina doll with Gojo being entranced by both! The cheers of the audience! So deserved. Marin surely making it known that the one behind the make up and suit is Gojo! Gojo, does everyone hear?! Hahaha. The congratulatory messages at the chalkboard after the won are also very cute :D

Love the boys group photo by the end uwu sorry Marin...

Alright, another week another banger.

letsgo? yoisho?

Gojo's progress is something all of us need to aspire. He's thought process that waws revealed through out this episode shows us that he's coming to relay on others and see's it as a good thing thing.

I found myself guess that this being a foreshadowing of he's 180 at some point in the show but only showed that he's been growing to relay on other. Namely Kitagawa, and how much he sees in her and the amount of respect he has for how she shines? I don't know how I can put it in to words that Gojo was expressing this episode. But so does she.

Man I know its like 20m but it honestly feels so much shorter than that AGH

Plot: 10/10
growth of gojo's optimistic and social standing

Theme: 10/10
dependence or reliance on others?

Ost: 10/10 i mean beep boop
very cute. had me by the balls.

Characters: 10/10
the supporting cast chanting that shit made me think they werent just sitting around decorating a class but prepping to out shine the others in stage play. which was hinted at earlier episodes i think?


OverAll: 10/10

I loved it, hated how short it felt. I love it too much. ANYWAY BYEEE

I was reminded that Gojo's "kirei" is almost equivalent to Saiki's "offu", it's the verbalization of his falling in love

My favorite arc in the whole series. Gojo stands out so much during the school festival. The rest of the series you see him but he just blends in the background and Marin is always the one up front.

Perfect ep

Gojo and Marin really share the same brain cell 😂

Ah yes, the true art of being locked in.

Marin got too much aura and rizz for both genders. She different for sure.

Always nice to see these cute moments between Gojo and Marin.

Gojo really is just a bundle of joy trapped in a teen body.

This ep adapted from ch 59-63. There were sum slight differences in adaptation, but it was still fking amazing.

10/10

I feel bad that she didn't get her photo. She will eventually speak up, I assume. Same for him. But I'm glad to see him making friends, and I feel like a photo like that will be great and nostalgic for him down the line (since he's a real person and all lol)

That was awesome, of course Goujou did a perfect job with Marin's cosplay and all the school went crazy, she even sang the anime's opening song in a rap format or something that was so cool ahaha. The photobooth with everyone after the karaoke was also awesome for Gojou who's not used to this amount of sociability lol

It's okay to ask people for help, but the important thing is that you pay the favour back and then won't feel guilty for mooching off their good will.
The entire class turns up to watch Gojo do Marin's make-up and he is really nervous at first but then he locks the fuck in! The result speaks for itself :)
I think the best thing that came out of this is that Gojo's peers are accepting of his hobby and appreciate his skill.
It's a loss for Marin though who wanted to take a picture with Gojo and pretty much got cock-blocked LMAO XD

For certain, this is the best episode of this second season so far.

All of the effort put into Marin's performance at the pageant paid off. I don't blame Gojo for feeling under pressure when so many of his classmates were watching him applying Marin's make-up, but he was able to achieve his maximum focus just like he does when working on Hina dolls. I'm glad that he was able to overcome this obstacle of his.

Then came the pageant itself and Marin simply knocked it out of the park. She's always excellent when she gets into character for the cosplay that she's wearing, but here, she was in top form and owned the stage. Her singing while hyping up the crowd was awesome, but it was how she made the student council president weak on her knees that made me love this part the most here. Simply amazing overall. =)

Thanks to this, their class won overall, so celebrating by going for a fun session of karaoke and getting pictures from the photo booth wrapped up how much fun this episode was. I don't see this outfit and reaction to it being topped anytime soon, but I'll still be happy if future outfits get as close as this one.

I thought Marin would take Gojo to a quieter place, but it was even better him getting into the zone and be really serious about the makeup. Second part with the party was even better, though guys... take a hint! xD

In minority but this arc specially the conclusion is by far the worst of this series. Except the Rei sama dress everything is just cringe.
Gojo hyperventilation inferiority is just annoying after few times. Treating makeup as some life ord death aura farming moment. Eh.. Aira make-up routine way better btw not even close.
Marin looked amazing but the act, I am dying of cringe 😭😭

One of the worst school festival arc in romcom/school anime imo.

Boys ruining Marin lovey dovey time and Noa's singing by far the best part.
This level of production is too good for this arc. Nun cosplay arc please come soon🤲

Fantastic episode all around.

Not only did we get to see the culture festival in full force with both Gojo making an unintentional performance of his own showing off his make up skills but also Marin taking the spotlight in stage to represent Rei-sama in full grace while wooing one of the judges (clever move I must say). This season really is making Gojo's classmates look not only open but understanding and seeing his smile from so much affection is just dazzling considering where he came from. Too bad for Marin who wasn't able to get a photo alone with him.

@WaterMage I actually really enjoyed this arc. This was needed to show Gojo's ability to overcome his extreme social anxieties about "not fitting in with others" and understanding that he doesn't have to overextend himself to not burden others, just so others don't have a negative outlook on him. The extreme pressure he puts on himself and ability to overcome that fear was so important to his development. The reaction was similar to in Season 1 when he was first anxious with Marin when measuring her, but he overcomes his embarrassment because he knows how important it is for her. I feel that Season 1 was all about Gojo's interactions with Marin, but Season 2 has been looking into their interactions in the context of the class and other people.

I actually really liked how Cloverworks animated the scene where Gojo is overcoming his anxieties about messing up Marin's makeup in front of the whole class. They state he intentionally picked the sewing room, since no one goes there. Then when everyone starts to show up, he starts to feel the pressure of everyone's expectations and the fear of messing up. He finally steels himself to just getting the job done by slapping both cheeks, taking a deep breath, then he takes off his jacket, loosens his tie, then gets his "game face" on. It's a really cool moment, that shows he is not backing away from the moment where everyone is counting on something that only he can do, even in the face of his own anxieties. Remember, he still feels very much an "outsider" to the class, except for Marin.

Gojo needs to be able to get over his social anxieties. If he wants to feel worthy of being with Marin, he needs to have a sense of self-worth that he's been building this Season. Being able to come through in front of everyone in the class was a big step towards this. Without the class there in the room to see how serious the makeup job is, they may just assume it's something easy to do. The class also acknowledged how cool he was by flat out saying that he was the "star of the show" and they couldn't go to Karaoke without him. They didn't just attribute the "win" all to Marin's stage presence and beauty, which they could have easily done. Marin knows how cool Gojo is, but she appreciates it even more when it's acknowledged by her peers and also gives him the special "shout out" during her time on stage to let the whole school know. Just a lovely episode. My favorite of the whole series.
