Finally kaguya sama is back, tbh i thought this episode was little too flashy, too many things happening on screen back to back to back. I already know this season will be amazing and hyped for it

Kaguya-sama blows away all the competition in romcom genre. It's gonna be hard for Aharen-san and Komi-san to take down the champion.

First episode of the new season and it’s already one of the best episodes of the whole series. I have very high hopes for the rest of S3.

No shit. AoT and Kaguya-sama both being comedy anime leads to all these comparisons.

Ngl though, Akasaka needs to step up his game since Isayama is winning rn with his greatest comedy piece yet, i.e. AoT Final Season.

Soo good to see Kaguya sama grace us with her presence. Looks like the animosity between Miko and Ishigami will is still in full swing. But man thats quite the variety of soothing music that she has though. About time Kaguya gets a smartphone as well as social networking. That was a nice save from Hayasaka though. Chika really is full of surprises huh. The arm wrestle event sure was fun though. Despite the effort i don't think Princess Muscle was the kind of title that Kaguya wanted. Overall an excellent opening ep and return to the world of Kaguya. As ever the marriage of comedy with character progression is sublime.

Great episode! Ishigami tried to save Iino from the pain of having her music playing out loud in front of everyone by doing the same himself but... it didn't work! Kaguya learning about read receipts was very funny xD. Kaguya.... princess muscle! That arm wrestling contest was great!

Looking forward to the next episode!

An epic start! It was very funny and refreshing, one of the best episodes of all seasons!

The new opening is great and a round of applause for the artist who, although his first two songs were a resounding success, did not reuse rhythms, something that many do to ensure that the new song is also a success. The song is completely new and cool :D

I also loved the emotion that Narrator-san transmits, it fills you with enthusiasm haha xD

Not the best premiere in the world, but it's a solid start, regardless. For the most part, Kaguya-Sama gets right back into its typical fortitudes of episodic comedy as if it never left to begin with. Kinda sucks that my personal attachment got tainted by the current developments in the manga, but the anime is still a great presentation. Hopefully they'll do justice with adapting perhaps the best arc from the manga later on.

I can't put it into words how much I actually missed this serie. I've read the manga up to a certain point but it were the chapters that are adapted already. I'll continue it after this season ends. Well, the episode was just as good as the previous season. The same level of comedy and cuteness. I've missed all the characters and espically Ishigama and guess who we see first, the one and only goat himself. Great episode! Forgot to mention that the OPENING is amazing. It gives off the same vibe as the first opening.

Peak romcom is back with a great starter episode as always.
My man ishigami took L to save Lino from embarrassment but sadly couldn't succeed.
5/5 Episode
BTW I have a hunch that this season will take dark route at the end (haven't read manga tho).

Here comes the good shit in the early parts of the season finally I've been longing to watch another Kaguya same series and A-1 doesn't miss (in some cases but never Kaguya-sama)

I mean damn I listen to ASMRs often but not like this one ayo Miko's got some very unusual things in her mind, How come Kaguya's still a boomer when it comes to tech well been there and it's really frustrating, Hayasaka damn good to see her back and lol Kaguya's about to cry

Shinomiya's on a different level this episode maybe starting from this season, I hope they do spice her up I would like to see her from that, OP is groovy if that's a word still I'm used to the last OP so I was so confused they played the second season's OP on repeat.

The expected excellent start to this third season, once again elevating the source material above and beyond how good it already was. Not as though there was any doubt, but it's good to see for sure that we remain in good hands this season.

Hayasaka and Shinomiya situation. If this wasn't a rom com, it could work as a horror. Maybe I'm thinking this as I've very recently watched Mirai Nikki and remember Gasai's eyes.

Ishigami should have known Shinomiya was strong back when he tried to run in the previous series and she easily kept him in place. of course more of Fujiwara cheating :P

As expected from the first two series, I am enjoying this third outing.

They're nailing the adaptation as usual. The voice actors and directing really nail Aka's jokes and story. (the narrator is absolutely fantastic) It helps that the manga was at it's peak at this point in the story too.

I just love Hayasaka and Kaguya interactions

Bust a nut before the episode even started airing and ended up creaming my pants again anyway.

Let's fucking go, we already off to a great start. The only bad thing about this episode was that it came to an end.

The OP and ED are eh, but anime songs are cringe anyway so who cares.

Already better than every episode of AoT Final season combined. Just 11 more episodes to go before it cements itself as the single greatest piece of audiovisual medium.

5/5

I loved this episode! Quick thoughts:

* The jump in animation quality and production values over S2 is insane (and S2 was already a huge leap over S1)
* I loved the return of the mind game shenanigans, which the last few episodes of S2 (understandably) moved away from
* The cringe comedy in the first two skits was breathtaking work, bravo
* I love that we got to see a lot of every major character - Miko, Ishigami, Chika, Shirogane, Hayasaka, and of course, Kaguya
* No one really "won" in this episode lol, everyone had a hard time (at least Ishigami got a consolation prize when he beat Chika though)
* "Hayasaka lies as naturally as she breathes", THE MADMEN DID IT (and even gave Chika her own version of it lol)
* Probably my most controversial take here will be that I am not a huge fan of the new OP. Like, I love the visuals a lot, but the song itself feels a bit too low energy. I dunno. Daddy Daddy Do grew on me, maybe this will too, but I didn't particularly love it

Anyway, top tier start to what I hope is a top tier season of one of the most top tier anime around.

For us manga readers, this episode was an absolute masterpiece. It really shows how A1 pictures grabs the original material and pours so much creativity + the OST in this episode was superior to those in previous season. This will be one of Anime's best rated seasons.

It has been very funny the 1st episode of this 3rd season.
In the end the Ishigami thing didn't work xD, Hayasaka saved Kaguya with the cell phone, and in the end Chika turned out to be the weakest one hahaha.
Very good episode, and the opening is very good.

Very interesting, this is the anime I've been waiting for the most. Unlike other anime, the comedy in this anime makes me laugh out loud. Thank you for comforting me this time. Unexpectedly, he would get a score of 9 in MAL, indeed from the start he had the potential for this. Very good anime.
