YESSS RIKA! She is my favorite for a reason. She caught on right away, back in season one! I really want a Rika end. Though she would fit as his best friend too.
Rika is the only one that actually understands Kodaka. And the only one that he complements like he does. shes also the only one he thinks about when hes not around the others. And out of all of them, Rika is the one that truly deserves to be happy. Shes done NOTHING wrong to anyone.

Confirmed: Rika is best girl.

I like how Kodaka noticed everything about the girls' affection, but tries to ignore it.
At least he isn't the typical dense harem MC.

Kobato in normal clothes was cute. :3

Well, apparently Kodaka isn't as dumb as he appears to be


it was kinda obvious that he never was that dumb imo
I am curious to see what is hapening on the last two episodes though.

Yes Rika! I'm glad she called Kodaka out on his obvious self-denial. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Interesting that Rika is actually the one who gets him to admit that he only plays the obtuse part. He's enjoying beeing with everyone and cannot take the thought of breaking the group apart by choosing someone.

Interesting that Sena went to public school.

Finally, they became serious and the fact that Kodaka always heard what the girls said in a low voice really surprised me, I never realized it was a cliche.

Rika was always the most fun character, but this episode made her the objectively best girl. She worked the hardest for the club and is the only one who is level headed enough to face reality.

It is. The laziest, stupidest, and the worst cliche. Muting specific words just for the audience is such a lazy and jarring way of creating mystery. They might as well bleep the word out.

Damn. What a plot twist. Adds a whole new layer to everything. Never expected it to get THIS serious, and rika was the one to initiate that

I thought kodoka having no sense of hearing was just being played for your typical tropes of teasing the audience and making them pull their hair out. And while that’s still somewhat true, it actually had a purpose all along, and just revealed a new side to kodako that we didn’t yet know of

This anime just did something amazing. They took the typical annoying dense mc trope and USED it to actually DEEPEN the mc’s character writing. A dense main character who is actually not so dense but pretends to be dense to keep what he has. Quite well done actually.

Yozora really getting her comeuppance early on, haha. That witch costume in public, oh no!

Actual amount of monitors is a bit overkill however like, if I ever did have a multi-monitor deal going, I'd definitely have a similar kind of vibe for some Gurren Lagann art.

The accidental disrespect, haha.



This was mad adorable however. Love these characters.
Rika had some real heartbreaking scenes however, damn. Really good character lately. The approach Kodaka has done to keep peace has been evident, however I didn't see it being called out like this. Really feels like the quality way of doing this kind of story's main character, like, this is a proper conclusion to where the "dense harem protagonist," would go. I do wonder where that'll go.
Feels like the series' real, "wait, is this series actually really good?" episode. Already had enjoyed the series since the start however this season's really pushed it forward for sure.

Rika wasn't who I thought would be bringing up Kodaka's feigned naivety, but I suppose someone had to do it.

Ohhhh so that's what the chewing sound at the end of last episode was LOL



This new movie is already looking way better... (❤ ω ❤)


Hinata's ass... 🤤


I wonder if we'll see more of Hinata in the last two episodes. I mean she is in the OP.

What did Rika say at the end though... Was she going to say "We're already friends"? I've had this thought since the first season, like they're in a club to get better at making friends so that they may one day be "popular" and have friends, and they've kind of been avoiding the fact that they already seem like friends... Either that, or Rika was going to say "We're already dead". O_O

That would be a crazy plot twist, but immediately when Rika said that that's what popped into my head.

Also Kobato is a princess, and it's so sad to see that she's struggling to open up to anyone at school T_T

Edit:
Essentially Kodaka has grown fond of the collective group and doesn't want to jeopardize that. So, he pretends not to hear when the girls are making overtures of wanting more than friendship. He knows that moving forward would eventually mean having to choose one of the girls as a female love interest cause everyone seems like they want to "c'est si bon" him. The fallout would be the other girls would feel rejected and distance themselves from the club. Something I think Kodaka really fears.

Omg wait that actually really sucks, and hits just a bit too close to home... :(

I had a friend in elementary who I fell out of contact with once I moved away, but we reconnected in high school and it was pretty cool to just have someone to talk to as I didn't have any friends at the school I went to. And of course, dating and love interests just had to come up eventually, and it was because of that that we ended up drifting apart again.

I was not expecting something like this in this show LOL with how silly it's been, I was not expecting something like this at all.

It's like yeah, maybe Kodaka really does feel something for Sena or Yozora, but what happens when he accepts one or the other's feelings? What would happen to the club? Suddenly it would begin to crumble as pretty much all the girls seem to have feelings for him... I have to know where this is going.
