Kaguya-sama is one of the few Anime that can consistently make me genuinely laugh out loud and this first episode was hilarious! So excited for the rest of this season, probably going to end up being one of my all-time favorites

Hayasaka, Chika, Ishigami and Masayuki Suzuki are back baby, I don't understand how does the author do it, the show is just as good and funny as it was on the first episodes, Ishigami is just as much on an misunderstood and mistreated angel.

This was fantastic, only the first episode and it is already starting off strong. The episode was fucking hilarious. I was so thrilled during this episode, and I paused thinking I was near the end of the episode only to find I was halfway bringing me immense joy. I love the exaggerations of this show so much it is making me exaggerate a little I think. The amount of times I went crazy rocking in my chair throwing my hands up in the air or clasping them over my mouth in excitement and glee. Holy shit, I don't even know why I enjoyed this as much as I do but I sure am excited.

I simply can not wait for the next one.

Great!! I loved this episode! Finally released after a long waiting, and Hayasaka tried to help Shinomiya to not check the messages the group sent her, and turns out that Shirogane asked Kaguya frankly about this situation, which she was not aware of. Fortunately, Ai saved Kaguya right on time, saying that the family have a device that checks all messages.

The arm wrestling moment was very funny, and Iino's phone part was also hilarious.

Looking forward to a good adaptation of this parts of the manga.

Every new season, this show doesn't just hit the ground running, it comes in with a burst of pure energy.

It's all so funny I'm already laughing just at the anticipation of the punchlines.

PER-FE-CT opening episode. Great introduction to, perhaps, most important arc so far (for me ‘The ABCs of man and woman is as important), if not THE most important. Nearly perfect adaptation, plus, yet again, perfect op. Not to mention, obviously, great audio visuals in general. AOTS easily confirmed, I think there’s no competition even that spring 2022 is ungodly packed with, unironically, great shows.

I’m so happy Kaguya has returned in full glory and proved, yet again, that there’s only one queen in the genre, at least in recent years.

Introduction to the ‘Culture Festival Arc’ is has been powerfully launched. Can’t wait for more, can’t wait for anime only fans reactions as well, cuz we, manga followers are hyped, but anime only ppl are in for a real treat. I’m jealous a bit to be honest, but prolly no suprise here.

Aww, I’m so happy… and hyped, which is rare af for me personally.

Yes, it has always been this way since Season 1.

I recommend watching on Funimation if you can cause I noticed with the other seasons that Funimation translates the text on screen and Crunchyroll does not

A powerful episode to open the season. This time the arcs will have Iino as the main character plus her own stories as well, pretty interesting. My favorite story is the first one about Iino and Ishigami, man's trying to figure out how to let her know of the unplugged earphone lol.

Liked the episode, I hope they can keep up throughout the season as usual.

After warming up with Season 2’s OVA a few days ago, Season 3 is finally here! It’s been a good wait, Season 2 back in Spring 2020 was amazing and I’ve been patiently waiting since, glad to see it finally, and what a great first episode to lead off with.

My favorite bit of the episode was definitely the first bit, the classic not all the way plugged in headphones, and how the things Iino listened to progressively got more questionable was hilarious, it was nice to see Ishigami do all he could to save her from embarrassment, but it was all for not lol. The rest of the episode was hilarious as well, love seeing all these characters again and the intense hilarity they bring.

Definitely can’t wait to see what else this season brings, after seeing that OP I’m excited to see some new and returning characters get the spotlight (especially best girl Hayasaka lol) and the song was great as always by the classic Suzuki, but I’m more excited to hear the ED this time, while the OPs always slap, the EDs are personally my favorite.

Man, what a great first episode! Shuciin is back, Ishigami's effort to save Iino from being ashamed due to unplugged earphone, Kaguya's LINE debut, and armwrestling competition, it's great! A god tier animation for the opening would be one of the most recognizable opening in 2022.

Wait, are there someone noticed gamelan and flute BGM in the beginning of Iino want to be soothed beside of me?

Meh.

The 2 jokes relating technology (Ino's smartphone and Kaguya Line's conversation) felt so dragged out, overexplained and unfunny that for a while I thought I was watching The Big Bang Theory.

The arm wrestling joke was ok, but I feel that after Asobi Asobase arm wrestling joke no other similar joke feels fresh or outstanding.

This episode had me crying from start to finish because I was laughing so hard. I actually had to pause it because I felt like I was going to pass out at times.

Just everything had me in tears. I think I laughed the most at the phone notification part...LOL

happy to see this show return with a very fun first episode.

as always and despite its genres, the people at a1 really make this show a feast for the eyes.

i also hope that this episode represents somewhat well what the rest of the season will be like with its tone, as i'd rather have it be more lighthearted and without long arcs that are too melodramatic, like that ishigami arc (not hating, it's just not really what i'm here for).

regardless, it will definitely be a strong contender for aots.

Finally, the return of what is perhaps the greatest rom-com anime of all time. Only one episode in and this will probably be my aots.

I really liked this episode! I watched the other two seasons quite recently, but I’m glad the show is back. I believe we will see some more cute moments between Shinomiya and Shirogane this season, like the arm-wrestling contest in this episode, and personally, I can’t wait!

A fun first episode, but I didn't find it to be a gut buster like a majority of other users. I'm still not exactly sure why this series is the darling of the anime community, as while the extreme and overdramatic jokes can be funny, most feel predictable and at most garner a chuckle out of me.

I liked the President's face when he was being thrown by Kaguya, probably the funniest moment for me. But the headphone joke felt like it dragged on.

My question is, will this get back to what worked in the first season, meaning the love competition between the President and Kaguya. Or will it continue the much less interesting long character story lines that made season 2 fairly mediocre? Guess we'll find out.

Ishigami roasting Chika never gets old. By the way, it's good to know he's not actually the weakest one in the group.

Well, what else can be said? Wonderful premiere, as expected. Ishigami doing everything in his power to prevent Miko from embarrassing herself was hilarious (and lowkey sweet, even if she didn't deserve it) and man, how much I missed this show's amazing direction. Outstanding as always.

Whats with romcoms this season pulling DB references here and there lol. First Rikekoi with the Namek surrounding and now Fujiwara going SSJ against pres with their arm wrestling. Anyways another treat of an episode! Seeing Hayasaka animated is a treat. Fujiwara being and getting caught will always be fun to see.

I have a personal rule against giving shows 10s until the end of the season. That said, if this season continues at the level set in this first episode, I have no doubt it’ll be a 10/10 in the end. Masterful return to the world of love is war

I've missed this series and it was nice. Lots of laughs and it's the same old kaguya sama that I appreciate. It'll probably comfortably end up as the AOTS for me unless something comes out of nowhere and surprises me

lmao that was probably the most peek Love is War episode i've watched in a while, and honestly what a way to start season 3.
This anime is always so consistent with its comedy and modern day humour that i feel like i just finished watching season 2 even though season 2 finished airing...1 and a half years ago. Jesus really?

Anyway looking forward to this new season, could really use some Love Is War in my life about now. Ishigami actually getting more and more relatable by each season i swear.

By the way, the OP isn't as banger as the previous season. But, it still by Masayoshi-san, so it still approved.
