| Arguably one of the series' worst episodes. I still can't believe we're focusing on the whole crossdressing plot point. I get it, the series wants to show all the aspects of cosplaying. But they've focused way too much on this particular point. Never thought I'd say this about this show, but I was more or less checked out this episode. The first half of the episode was nothing but glazing for the femboy. The second half felt as though nothing happened either, except for the reveal at Juju is back. When Marin said she was going to meet up with Femboy McGee, as soon as the camera cut to Gojo's phone with a photo of Akira, I knew instantly that it would be a woman. It mirrors the whole gender thing they're doing with the femboy. Akira herself is really pretty, but the whole weird thing she has going on with Marin grew old after a few minutes. We were given no context of what her issue is, but I can assume it's likely she's a fan of Marin's. |
| this season is so much worse than firs season.. hard to even start I dislike way more things than I like compared to season 1.. this became tutorial to cosplay world instead of good anime.. it was so boring episode.. |

| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| I was just thinking about it being a shame Juju/Sajuna hasn’t showed up this season, but hey there she is! This nun cosplay is about to go hard af, very excited to see it, although the Akira thing is very weird, clearly Marin has got to her just by being present and her friends know about it but aren’t saying anything, is she a really big fan or something else? Guess that’ll get addressed eventually but it was a bit annoying here, I kept thinking are they gonna get on with this or what lol. Other than that, this was just a really fun cosplay event episode, featuring the additions of some new characters like Miyako and Akira, I actually called Akira was a girl before the reveal so I’m kinda proud of that lol, her interaction with Gojo was wholesome, funny how they both thought the other was the opposite gender. And we also got to see Amane again (I was calling him Himeno before but the show is going with Amane so I will too lol), his cosplay was yet another beautiful idol character, can’t get over how good he looks cosplaying girls still, I know he puts a lot of work into looking that good but it’s still amazing, I’m also weak to blue haired waifus so this was a critical hit lol. Ngl tho, I wasn’t super into the information segments it cut away to a few times, I didn’t need to be told angles change how things look and where to party at with a whole separate cutaway complete with its own cute intro lol, but really it wasn’t a big deal, I don’t mind a cute babe teaching me things even if I already knew them. |

| Those were some great cosplys the group had. Nice to make a new friend of as well, though Akira seems to be quite shy, I was hoping someone would talk to her when they were eating afterwards. |

| Really curious to what is Akira's deal with Marin |
| "He's so lude I might get arrested" Nah..girl 😭😭 Amane cosplay just looks so pretty, it really wanna awaken something in you lol. Forgot about Akira and Gojo both misunderstood opposites gender. She's one of the best characters of the series. Her and Marin relation is fun to watch as.. Miyako sneaked her work frustration in between glazing dolls was wild. The cosplay group is so much better than their non chara school friends (except Nowa). Juju & Shinju will be back soon.. I am excited to see the nun arc getting animated. It's so good. Huge improvement from cringe fest Rei sama arc. |
| Finally, Juju made an appearance! Solid episode overall too. |
| I forgot to mention this last week. With the prevalence of phone cameras it was thought that actual cameras would be phased out. Kodak even went bankrupt trying to hold on the commercial film market. But while the low end digital cameras are little better than what you find on smartphones these days, the same cannot be said for cameras priced in the thousands. I wonder what Akira's problem with Marin is? @Embient the first two episodes looked a little off, but they quickly corrected whatever issue that was and everything is perfect now :) @Kipo0007 Marin is like a superfan, other photographers be like, that is a cute looking character. But Marin shows a deep appreciation for the character and notices all the little details the cosplayer probably agonized over for hours to get right. |

| Ohhh damn, I thought we were gonna know the reason of the weird reaction of Akira with Marin by the end of the episode. At first I thought she was a big fan, then I thought that maybe she instantly liked her, but then she looked like she had a problem with her. I am confusion 😭 |

Reply to Shadow_Master_T
Am I having Mandela effect? Haven't the subs pretty consistently referred to her as "Marin" until now? The subs in this episode were fairly inconsistent, but mostly had her name as "Marine".
| @Shadow_Master_T Marin is her actual given name. Marine is the cosplay name she uses online. Not much of a disguise name, but you know Marin. |

| Another great episode! I really enjoyed the small tutorials with Aoi-san. The manga almost always had a short bonus chapter about how the author's adventure learning about many of the cosplay techniques shown in the series. I do have to say that this anime has really held true to the manga, I am just wondering how and where the season will end. |

rickjdraws said: My god can we not have some woke nonsense into this series please? For better or worse the anime follows the manga closely. Though I wish Fukuda-sensei had put more emphasis on developing the characters and romance rather than tips on how to pass as a girl. Not sure how you hide your Adam's apple. |
IzanaSolos said: Okay, I don’t have anything against femboys, tomboys, or whatever, but my god, this is like the third plotline this season revolving around them. Is there really nothing else interesting we can do with cosplay at this point lol. And yeah, I guess at least something is here to spice things up, finally introducing a proper love rival after a good twenty episodes! ... Buuuut then I remember that we’re on episode twenty, and Goujou probably still doesn’t even know that a boy and a girl can fall in love with each other. That’s where his character development is at. But yeah, this episode, especially near the end. made me realize something: people who do cosplay are seriously... weird in the head. Did find it funny though that Akira just went back to being a background character after literally being introduced lmao. But hey, at least we got Juju back at the end! Also, anything with Marin and her whole crew this episode was totally boring. Sorry, not sorry. For real though, I was hoping the prop stuff would get screen time as Gojo’s skillmanship was interesting when creating the outfits. Hell, I would even be more interested in Hina doll making than seeing another dude in makeup and having multiple minute long sequences addressing it. |
| Amazing ep “Arrested???!” Wdym mean by that? Akira so fine. Nah, these crossdressers are comin different. Happy to see Gojo knows that some ppl are similar to him as well. Juju is back! This ep adapted ch 68-71. 10/10 |

| Judging by the comments above, most folks aren't sure how Akira is actually reacting toward Marin, while in the manga, she was definitely more antagonistic. Suzuka was the funniest part, everything was lewd, lol! |

Reply to Spitonme
this has never been a show with a lot happening but I feel like the last two episode have especially had nothing going on.
| @Spitonme yeah, a whole lot of nothing going on with a lot of characters which feel like filler. I miss the tone of S1 a bit. I hope we get it back some. |

| Nice to see Amane is back. Gojo and Akira assuming the wrong gender for each other before meeting in person was amusing. Marin and Gojo keep learning more about cosplay and making new friends, but Akira seems to be somewhat tense around Marin, I wonder why. Finally, Juju is back! It's been a while since we've seen one of the Inui sisters. |
| Had I known about the slow pacing in advance, I would have waited until this seasons finished airing and then watched it all in a day. |
| What's wrong with this girl Akira and Marin? 🤔 Good to see our grumpy cat Juju back. I hope she brings her big little sister with her. |
| Season 2 is vastly inferior to season 1, i been watching the episodes so far because i loved season 1 but i feel absolutely nothing during or after watching an episode in season 2. The episodes are not really memorable either, i liked the first episode the one with Nowa singing and her blurting out the question, Gojo and his introspection. But everything else has just been a forgettable watch. This episode as well, i feel like i watched nothing. i don't even get that feeling of 'can't wait for next episode', it's all just 'meh, ok, i watched an episode'. |
| Amane is way too cute it's starting to become dangerous (gambare ore–) Suzuka is so damn funny hahahaha finally Juju-sama is back!!! Now im even more excited for that group cosplay. |
