Watching Shirogame come up to the stage and basically turn it into a debate to help Miko Iino was very wholesome in my opinion. Also seeing Chika and Ishigami worried about not getting picked for student council again, but then Shirogame calling them by their previous roles was also wholesome. All in all great episode.

I miss the psychological battles from the previous season. I liked Kaguya when she was cold and cool. Now, she acts cute and moe just like a lot of other anime girls.

And thus ends the election arc ends with Shirogane being the winner, and honestly I could've seen this going both ways, whether Shirogane wins or Miko wins I can see the plot still progressing the same way it usually would, with differences (obviously). I anticipate seeing how Miko will affect the plot as well as character relationships with her addition into the student council. Overall, this episode introduced a lot and was a very satisfying conclusion to the arc as a whole. One complaint I do have is that this episode lacked a lot of the comedy that previous ones do, however I can easily overlook this due to the writing of this episode and the tension it provided with the election.

I hate Miko because of her politics. She's an authoritarian and a conservative. She believes that societies problems are due to a lack of morals. Her perspective lacks nuance because it ignores systematic and socio-economic factors.


The show wants me to respect her for trying but I sincerely hope she never succeeds in her current ambition.

Yet again Shirogane strike again, Really love Ishigami character as always, his reason to defeat Iino a landside was very Ishigami, everyone probably praising Shirogane (like myself) but don't forget as to why Shirogane even act, is bcs Ishigami ask them to defeat Iino Miko, love this 2 dude. And ofc Kaguya ranting was cute and that "Ok" sign probably gonna be a meme I swear XD

One more week and one more episode of our fabulous Kaguya Sama ... and it's as surprising and fun as ever :)

This week we had great moments with Shirogane being the hero, Ishigami the person who always put other people first and Kaguya being ... Kaguya.

Outcome:
Ishigami is the best
Shirogane is the man
Kaguya is a "happy wife"
........ And we are happy to see this

Another episode 5/5 and I can't wait for the next one!

OKEY

The episode is not the best or near the best episodes
It is not that funny, they tried their best to add comedy in between the scenes, as they couldnt do much more than that. It is the election episode and the amount of story covered in this episode more that they the usual episodes have

We got a closer look into Miko's elementary and middle school life and her friendship with obarashi .And we also got to see hoe lshigami feels about Miko

And atlast the epic Shirogane-Kaguya fan service made the episode a lot better

Hayasaka as savage as always

3/5

I don't get why some people keep talking about the comedy, it's ok if you say "I don't like the seriousness of this episode, this is not a Kaguya-sama I like bla bla" but how tf can people expect a serious arc to be full of gag ?

Best Boys!


What an episode! I was confused as to why Ishigami was being so adamant about defeating Miko as it didn't fit his character. However, that reversal of expectation the show pulled was amazing! Solidified Ishigami as my favourite character bar none!
As for the MVP of the episode, Miyuki took that cake! He truly is a genuinely caring guy and they couldn't have portrayed it any better.

Also, Hayasaka keeps getting better with each episode. She might just be steamrolling her way into being my favourite female character of the series. Kaguya was adorable this episode as well and her rant would have funnier if it was subtitled better but I had a good laugh regardless.

Now on to Miko! Last week I said, "I HATE MIKO!" but this week the show was able to turn it into "I HATE HER IDEOLOGY BUT SHE MUST BE PROTECTED!"
I can see why her loneliness drove her to want a strict system with high morals, as wrong as it may be. She convinced herself that her parents weren't around due to peoples lack of morals and the world would be a better place if everyone followed the rules. As a child many would do this but the fact that she stuck with this ideal is the sad part. It's what got her outcast from her social surrounding in the first place and then the constant *yet totally expected* defeats broke her spirit. At the end of the day she's just a soft and vulnerable person who hides behind her serious facade but continues to not realize where she is going wrong like a child.
Knowing the show, she's probably gonna be stuck with this character type, but it would be nice to see her mindset change. The outcome of the debate was obviously exaggerated, cause Miyuki would've still had a landslide victory. The show made it seem like Miko had the capacity of winning if she spoke her mind, yet when she first tried, she did speak her mind but it didn't work. The demographic age of her audience might have changed but no one likes being chained and that's a fact.
Thanks for the heads up you two @shanimebib @Kfier. That backstory really was essential to her character.

People who want comedy all the time are boring and can't appreciate this anime in its entirety tbh. These 'serious' episodes make the series even better

Great episode with a great backstory. I'm glad that she joined the student council.
So, in the end, it didn't matter how many votes Shirogane had since Shinomiya had everything under control xD

A very wholesome episode.

It's quite rare to see shows introduce a primary cast member this late on but Inio definitely looks interesting enough, and there will most certainly be clashes in ideal from now on cause of her polar opposite personality to almost everyone else. However with that also comes the chance of some development, really looking forward to see how this all pans out.

this anime is so damn good, im glad they didnt drag out the election and just used it as an element in the story overall. I freaking love Hayasak being so sneaky. Poor kaguya tho, poor pestered students.... Kaguya is questionable

Definitely one of my favorites of this already amazing series that makes me feel all the feelz.I understand how Kaguya be feeling, and she was amazing in her speech for president. President also surprised me this episode with his quaint compassion for miko, who is such a strong leader that im surprised she didnt win after that (maybe its the bald head). Anyway, im glad kaguya and president both got a big win in this one, and I JUST WANT PRESIDENT TO PROPOSE TO HER ALREADYYYYY!

That was pretty serious, the election was a great arc, it was built little by little since several episodes. The characterisation and circumstances of Miko here are what makes her so believable. For some reason, it looks like a finale episode lmao.

Miyuki is a true bro. His noble deed almost cost him the position. At least the lot can carry on with their shenanigans... plus one.

I have to say, though... Kaguya was really cute.

While the previous episode was mediocre as hell and I consider it as the worst from this season up until now, this one fixed everything and I think it was the best episode of Season 2 so far. :)

Students Council has a new interesting member! :) I'm positive about next episodes.

I think they may have rushed the election a bit too fast, I have the impression it took longer to know the results within the manga, you could say that and the stuff they skip, to be the downside of this adaptation, which I m fine with because they absolutely nail in everything that they want to adapt and overall this was another phenomenal episode.

Glad to see Miko is finally opening up.

The 👌 gesture Kaguya makes will never not make me laugh.

Also, was that one comic scene a Danganronpa reference??? 👀
It may just be my obsession with that series but the style looked identical to the sequences you see near the end of every chapter of the games.

I wonder how Shirogane became student council president previously. Seems like him being a transfer student is kind of a big deal. We need a prequel to show how the student council came to be.

An episode that builds and characterizes well the figure of Miko and his childhood friend Kobachi, I thought that the part of history dedicated to the student council elections lasted a little less, oh well! By now the narrative is all stretched out in describing in the most detailed way possible the sentimental relationship that is growing and evolving between Shirogane and Kaguya, and in showing the most hidden sides of their character: in fact one of the peculiarities of Miyuki is to be kind to everyone, which is inconceivable for a person like Kaguya, perhaps because it is too possessive? Who knows!

Wow! Is this really a second season? I can hardly credit it. The consistent quality of this adaptation is truly astonishing, and I'm very pleased to have it in the season of no. Prez made Miko look like a champ, and he made it look easy. Very cool. Kaguya, on the other hand, turned into a real girl, and it was hilarious to hear her going ballistic just before Prez came in and saved the day again, so easily, a little less cool but perfect nonetheless.

I hope I'm not jinxing the rest of the season with all this hard-won praise.

Lino Miko gave me a one more high vibes to the series. Yet, the drama resolved behind her background really punch the feeling. The power of Miyuki's charisma, once again, brought back the fun and won him over the dramatic election. Still, the other side of good persona from Yuu really surprised me with his 'i do not want and then want make Lino smiles' phrases. A heart-warming episode, with the addition of a bittersweat touches from my beloved high-pride couples on this show. The best episode so far by me.

Again. Everything was changed. The new era of Miyuki's as the new student council must brought back more fun than before. Yet, their relationship must be improved to another level. How far that goes?

I love how Kaguya always gets frustrated by Shirogane and yet, he ends up proving her wrong.🤣 Shirogane never takes Kaguya for granted. That's what I adore about his character.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!
