I wouldn't have asked for a better intro shobu. Except for Fujiwara and Hayasaka everyone else sounds different, I guess it's been a while.

To Ishigami, it was a failed attempt, but not all heroes wear capes.

What a rigged show, Kaguya obviously lost that last battle.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

Haven't laughed that hard at a single episode of anime in ages, Narration was on point, Ishigami carried the first story, and using the first few seconds of daddy daddy do OP to explain Kaguya's strength with the archery broke me, hilarious 😂

It's still in Zekkouchou even they're season 3. I really enjoyed both episodes of the first week. Kidoku-mushi(leave on read) episode and arm wrestling episode are both funny. EP is also great as usual <3

Great start.

I forgot how great the anime is at delivering those facial expression.

I'm also glad that "Hayasaka lied as naturally as she breathed" finally made it's anime debut.

The anime truly delivers too in the small things. Kei is literally stretching only to stalk Shirogane and Kaguya love progression. There's some shot of Kaguya using her right hand on her cheek to calm herself while "hand wrestling" with Shirogane.

One of the better debut episode you can have in a season.

so season 3 is here now, what should I say...uhm
THIS EPISODE IS FUCKING PERFECT LADIES & GENTLEMEN

Love is War is back, waifus and husbandos, it is a fucking pleasure to watch this weekly now since I've binged Season 1 and 2 less than 2 years ago. When the PV dropped a couple of months back, I guess the series is slowly preparing me in for what is to come, a great experience. If you can't tell yet, I miss this show and since I've stopped reading the manga for a long while now, I missed the fun and enjoyment that this series brings to me.

Those sneaky references like Chika's detective hat (for some reason they sneaked that in), Kaguya touching her left cheek while she's arm wrestling with her husband (for some reason they did that too), when Kaguya was shown extending her bow only the S2 OP horn played (couldn't they have extended that cmon) and the Dragon Ball reference plus shounen battle commentary at the side (I'm having a stroke of happiness right now).

I can go on and on if you don't hold me back, and that's how much I love this show and how it's still so fucking solid at this point. Glad to see our 5 characters back, glad to hear the narrator again, glad to like another OP again, and I'm glad that we are witnessing another Kaguya-sama season after so long. This really made my day, and I hope it will for the other days!!!

Where Was the nyc premiere?

Yeah, I heard nothing about this. I really wish I would’ve known, because I definitely would’ve loved it!

Excellent episode, I did not think that it would turn out this good. Why I love the series as a whole, the last two episodes were a bit too WTF at times. Well this was kind of the same way, it was just in a different, much better way. It’s kind of hard to explain, but the point is I loved this episode!

If there’s a season four to this, by all means let there be premieres in NYC as well so I can go to it.

Really nice first episode, the manga has a lot of great like we see here, the arms wrestling was my favorite this episode, but also Ishigami trying to cover for Ino like that, what a chad!

I presume the ending song is gonna be the OP? If so, they once again nail the mood, Kaguya's OPs where always charming and different, full of swing. LOVE IT

Episode was really good in general, OP was great, comedy was great, everything was great.
Overall, I liked it but it's not as good as the rap and culture festival arcs coming up soon so I'd say it's around an 8.5 to a 9.

Only the last part brought me good feeling. Ultra Romantic might portray a downward tendency in term of creativity, yet will eventually get carried by one of the greatest arc of the series.

Interesting way to start this season, they literally made it so the beginning is the end of last season. This means if someone's doing a marathon of the series, they won't even notice when last season end and this season began if all seasons was on a huge auto-play list.

___ ___ ___

Ishigami trying to be a chad in order to protect Iino, too bad Iino doesn't realize it and still went through with her "DIEOFCRINGE" moment.

and even more of that moment afterwards from Kaguya... while Hayasaka took over and lied to protect Kaguya.

LUL, Princess Muscle... I am pretty sure majority of girls wouldn't want to be branded as that.

___ ___ ___

Also, LINE is pretty much the "Messenger APP" that most people in Japan and Taiwan uses over phone's default "Messenger".

So technically true that most people doesn't use LINE on PC.

Basically imagine how many people uses phone instant messenger on PC... very little (or none at all, lol, who here still uses things like MSN or AOL messenger?), where as most people just uses Twitter and Discord instead.

Haha loved dat arm wrestling tournament, but its not usually the best way to know if your stronger than someone. Its moreso to see who has the best skills on top of strength.

Anime staff still going absolutely extra for every joke, I'll never not be sad that so much content does get skipped over but the stuff they do adapt is always spectacularly done.

Got a suspicion they aren't gonna do any more anime seasons after this one given that the manga would be over by the time it'd even get one so its lost that thing to advertise, but at least the anime is gonna end on the strongest part of the series even though I do love alot of the stuff that comes after and would hope it can somehow see the light of day in anime form. I imagine a certain chapter around 220 would have a pretty crazy impact on anime only peeps.

Ah yes... I missed all of them. Seeing Kaguya and her finally getting a smartphone was fun to see. Along with that, my girl, Hayasaka, Shirogane, Ishigami, and Chika, of course. Really enjoyed seeing them once again.

LOL. Chika's arm-wrestling part was just so funny. Great start to this season. I'm definitely looking forward to more of this season as well. The OP is really good. Nice.


Lmfao the entire episode was surely great, totally missed em all to!

Smarkphone had to be my favorite segment, it had me legit laughing the entire time, like real laughs lol. - Plus the arm wrestling was great, but that bonus ending after the credits when they showed Fugiwara and ishigami finally have their one on one was great!

I kept thinking, I shoulda known they were gonna have prez and kaguya as the main battlers, even though they weren't at the forefront of that last segment but i was like, they always do a loser battle to when its only like 4-5 peeps - and then when the credits rolled, i was a bit disappointed till it flipped back on

and then you have ishigami yelling! YEAHHHH! I am the greatest my friends! Like some kind of mike tyson and dawn of the champion remix - i just couldn't stop laughing bahaha!
