I also looked it up on a manga site and saw no chapter that said culture festival or about a stage play. I hope they will go anime original to the last episode this season and end it here. Will have to check next episode if it'll be anime original too Actually, the part on the rooftop is a big readaptation of chapter 137 on volume 16 of the manga. But yes, the rest is anime original I think. True, just went to read it and it was the exact same dialogues apart from subject |
| Best episode in this season, Kimura MVP. |
Was that a confession? Probably baloney but I'll take it. |
| I knew it! Even tho it's kinda expected that Nishikata will immediately replace Kimura as the prince, the scene was still absolutely charming. I'd say Takagi was able to freely express her feelings there directly, taking advantage of that situation. Takagi being bolder and bolder each episode, damn! |
   |
| kimura o7 even though its probably an accident, ill think of it as a calculation of his own thinking to make nishikata the prince out there. and DAMNN that improv was great, takagi slipping in that "spring" was rly nice too mina putting down an after show photo at the ed there. so cute |
| Kimura saves the day again. KIMURA best supporting actor!!! |
| You know you’re in for a banger episode when it’s the school festival episode and there’s no OP. Not even Nishikata is dense enough to overlook Takagi’s confession this time. |
| Kimura being an absolute LAD once again. Gotta love it. |
| You know it’s gonna be heck of an episode when they skip the OP, and heck of one it was, it was a great episode, I always love the cultural festival theme and Takagi-san does it wonders, had a nice haunted house bit, and we even got to see more of the underrated Houjou and Hamaguchi pairing, I had a funny feeling the reason he didn’t want to be seen by Houjou was because of his role in the cafe lol. And of course the prize moment, the entire play was great, but man that improv from Nishikata and Takagi (but was it really tho lol) was so nice, definitely one of the best moments of the series, our hunches that Nishikata would somehow end up in the prince role ended up coming true and it was amazing. I also really liked the final karaoke bit, I believe the Doyoubi girls were singing an ED from one of the previous sessions, and we got a new ED song with new visuals, I had a feeling that was setup for Takagi to literally sing the song lol. Wowzers what a good episode that was, and very cool to hear this is anime original. |
| For music lovers: the ED is the 70's song "Gakuen Tengoku": And for music nerds: the iconic "hey hey hey" intro is a ripoff of Gary U.S. Bonds' 1960 hit "New Orleans": |
 |
| Pretty cute episode, enjoyed a lot. It's finally time for the cultural festival! The haunted house scene was fun. The play was pretty intense, tears were shed. I loved the last scene, loved it when Takagi was looking at Nishikata when she said, "I'll stay by your side forever." Nishikata at the end was amazing, he put all his nervousness aside and shined, and boy did Takagi love it, the conversation turned from between Princess and the pig to between Takagi and Nishikata. LOL I completely missed that it was a confession from Takagi, rewatched that scene after reading other posts and then realised xD. I think it's safe to assume that Nshikata actually got it, his face at the end made it pretty clear. Though gotta say, Takagi is just too damn smooth. I wonder what will happen in next episode, are they completely going to forget that happened and go back to being normal again or will something change? Can't wait for next week! |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I"m glad they add this anime original festival arc. Yeah we already seen this stage play accident many times now, but it's always satisfying. Nishikata saves it. The HYPE they're so close. Also Kimura with the clutch again haha. And finally another Houjou and Hamaguchi scene. Even better episode than the previous one, and I am crying, Tanabe sensei is also crying. ♫Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey♫ |

I hope they will go anime original to the last episode this season and end it here. Will have to check next episode if it'll be anime original too Well based on the opening im also expecting events that did not happen in the manga, so yeah it could end with another anime original arc |

| Best episode of Takagi san by far!! So much development in the third season already, I never really felt like season 1 or 2 accomplished this much at all besides that fireworks episode. Also love that they brought back one of the old ED songs during the karaoke bit (kimagure romantic) |
Whoa... Wait a second, did Nishikata just dash out to save Takagi from getting hurt than proceed to confess his love to her?!  |

HK_UZUMAKI said: ItzElite said: There's also going to be a movie too so there's a big chance it could also be anime original too, to wrap things up, I suppose Well, I feel sad to realize that movie will be the end of this amazing show, I really wanted more seasons, coz s4 and s5 can have contents from moto also, so yeah, I hope movie will be great and be soon be released , also hope there will be more seasons We’ll have to wait for the movie to see if it does end, not confirmed yet I believe that it will be finished with the movie |
There was a NTR scene, as expected.  |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| It's so good... so good. Nishikata saving the day..... let's gooo!!! each episode just getting better and better.... more people need to stop sleeping on this Series! |
 |
| This show knows when to tease and when to give hope! At first I was sad that Nishikata not get the prince role, but then again something happened and there he goes and save the day! I was screaming happily for him! Let's go Nishikata! |
| This episode put a smile on my face and I was in tears of joy, really clapped my hands because of excitement |
the_slothes said: I Wouldn't say this is the best episode so far. But takagi's confess scene is the best scene in entire 3 season or even in manga. Definitely 10/10 for the last scene alone. Agree. The confession hasn't happened yet in the manga but this is how I imagined it may have turned out. I wonder if the mangaka had input into the episode? |
| Just like with season 2's finale, this episode was superb from start to finish. and just like with season 2's finale, it's mainly thanks to the legend that is Kimura for gifting Nishikata a chance to take the spotlight and be with Takagi as a prince on stage. His timing when Takagi accidentally stepped in the chestnut was spot on and it led to such a heartwarming scene between the two as they delivered one of the series' defining moments that left me grinning so much. Heck, even the hard as nails teacher of theirs was reduced to tears, which made me laugh! XD I'm also surprised to learn that most of this was anime-original content and it seems that the manga readers here really like this episode, too, which is really nice to see. =) Now we shall wait and see if the latter half of this season can even get close to how excellent this episode was... |
| I had assumed some sort of outcome like this would've happened with the play, but I still couldn't stop grinning. |
 |
| I am a day late but this role-play episode made the show better and better. This show in general is getting better and better with each episode ^ This episode also showcased all of he side characters in such an interesting way. Even the teacher was crying and laughing at their roleplay of Romeo and Juliot :p Fantastic episode again. So excited for next week's ep! |
 |
| That was such a wholesome ep wtf Takagi-san with the gown and the tiara~ Would love to see more of Hojou and the other guy. Takagi san indirectly confessed to Nishikata once again lol. |

| On top of Season 2's Summer Festival finale episode, this might just be the best original, non-canon episode in the entire series yet. Hojo REALLY wants to spend time with Hamaguchi, and really though, it was a sweet diversion. Doing a maid cafe that your girl is watching you do, it's certainly embarrassing. Takagi in her princess gown is such a treat to see, and Nishikata...is just the same flustered self when presenting himself towards Takagi. Even the culture fest is an endless seam of grounds for Nishikata to challenge Takagi in order to win just one time. Sorry man, the Haunted House isn't your forte, and Takagi managed to scare the hell out of you. The class play came, and as expected it performs like what we expect of a typical Romeo and Juliet style. Problem is Kimura ate too much and was having a stomachache, and Nishikata was subbed in at the very last minute. What happened right after that...was just TOTAL FIRE of Nishikata ad-libbing and Takagi following up thereafter. Man, I can't tell you how happy I am. A great episode throughout. |
 |
| oh my gosh this episode! Why can I only rate a show 10/10, MAL I need the slider to go higher. |
| Very cute this episode! |
takagi look majestically stunning <3 and , do anyone know what chapter in manga is this? since, i cant remember i'd read this arc/scene especially that loveable implicit confession made by takagi <3 |

But, still canon with original story made by writer. |
| 100% a confession. Excited for the next episode and even more excited for the movie. |
 |
| I knew Kimura is the MVP, giving Nishikata a chance to be with Takagi in the stage. And I was on my way home, so I can't really scream. But when Takagi and Nishikata are with each other and sweet words were exchanged, it was so hard to not scream when a couple of people were in my back. Damn it's just straight bangers, and I thought this season will be simply coasting like S1 and S2, but hell naw this is peak Takagi!!! |
 |
| The stage play was a success and and the accident and adlib made it even better! Rieri sang again the custom ED this ep! did anyone noticed the animation error of Nishikata's kibidango costume where dango "D" on his left ear showed-up on one frame then the next frame it disappeared? hmmm 5/5. |
 |
I cannot believe how good this show is. Princess and idol Takagi in one episode!      thejbear said: Yeah man, phenomenalI thought this episode was absolutely amazing. Even better than the summer festival episode of Season 2 or the camping episode. Truly spectacular.
