| 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. |

| The background during the Kinniku-hime part is based on the first Kinnikuman opening lol |
 |
| xD Good old Kaguya is back xD Fun episode. Ranked #10 already? Damn... |
| 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. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| It's good to see these clowns in love back xd By the way, my favorite character is Ishigami.   |
| LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO! this shit boutta be 10/10 for sure |
 |
| They are back!! With more gold comedy!! I laughed so hard. And they jumped into top10, amazing!! Also, what is this bug?  lol |

| 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. |

| The OST is on point once again |
| bruh |
| 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 i love ishigami |

| 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 |

| 3 hilarious chapters in 1 ep. Absolutely amazing |
| I just couldn't stop laughing. This anime is one of the best that exists, this has to be said more. |
| Glad to see this back. One of the best romcom's in anime. Kaguya's so cute as always. The opening song is a banger again |

| That's a god-tier first episode. The comedy still hit as hard and the direction is still incredible. |
| that line part of the episode was fun, Shirogane won't type funny messages in the future though. I really laughed at that camel sound, who would think that's soothing, lmao. |
  |
| 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. |

| 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. 3.5/5 |
| Oooooh my god how I missed the VAs! ;__; Good they kept the easter egg on the beginning haha (Continue? Yes or No) I loved this premiere |
 |
| Three great bits. Perfect for the season pilot. |
 |
| 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. |
  |
| Can't stop laughing haha. It's really hilarious starting from the first part to the last. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| It's back! I really miss this group of characters. I was laughing all the time on the three parts of the episode, especially on Iino and Ishigami's music, really hilarious scene. Muscle Queen. |
 |
| great as always lots of highlights shriogane had such a huge W but came out with a big L with the Hayasaka support sometimes i'm like Ishigami is trash but then he gets moments were like this guy is a god among gods , also discord> Line they just don't get it |
 |
| Banger. As expected from the best romcom in history 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. |
 "yabe." |
| Oooh Let's go. How I missed best boy Ishigami and best girl Hayasaka. Highlight for sneaky way to reference S2 opening when explain Kaguya's grip strength By the way, the OP isn't as banger as the previous season. But, it still by Masayoshi-san, so it still approved. |
