I'm neither here nor there on guys showing up, but this was still a good episode on par with the previous, so no problems there. As much of a yuri fan as I am, it is actually kind of nice to have a show like this that actually throws guys in instead of just being a tease the whole way.

Wow, has no one on this thread heard of pan/bisexuality? You can like guys AND girls, y'know. Them starting out looking for boyfriends and then falling for each other would've been perfectly plausible. You don't even need fucking "yuri goggles" to see the intense chemistry these girls have anyway. Maki and Riko are there for each other and blush whenever the other is around. Maki literally thinks Riko is hot stuff. Maki dressed as a guy and all the girls fell for her, even though they knew she was a girl. Eno blushed intensely when Sayori praised her to the others.

I'm not going to drop this anime because it's not yuri, but seriously. Let people ship what they want to ship, whether it's canon or not. The yuri has more chemistry so far than the het ships anyway.

I thought having guys on the show would be a con, but how wrong I was, best episode tied with the first one so far.

I like where this is going.
When Maki calling Jan a tsundere, I totally lost it.

First, I'd like to direct your attention towards the BG theme that this anime sports, specifically the one we can hear the first thing in this episode. Duu, du du. Duu du du. Duu du du, du du du du du du duu... I know it's ridiculously simple, but I can't help but love it's catchiness.

Now with that out of the way - GUYS ARE HERE!
After loving the first episode, I checked the forums here to check if it was going to turn bad. Fortunately, not only was it NOT going yuri, it was actually going to involve genuine romance. That's awesome, seeing hilarious "love practice" and then hilarious applying it to real life. Boy, Yan vs Mako scene was great. The whole episode was. The whole series is.

Guys show up and tbh this episode is the best so far. I upped my score to 9.

This episode was more hilarious than the previous episode and Maki this episode was fucking cute. I used to not give a fuck about her.
Maki: You must be tsundere.

and all her KYAAA!

Riko's brother is the male version of her lol.

This episode was so refreshing. FINALLY! Not just one male, but 3 new male characters! They exist! Wow, it just makes the whole thing feel way more balanced. Really love the interactions between them all, especially Satoshi and Riko. The reasoning behind Izekawa's nickname was pretty hilarious too lol. Jan somehow suits him haha. But seriously, so much more enjoyable than any of the previous episodes! Things should start to get even more interesting from here.

Dropped. I promised myself that I'd drop this as soon as guys show up. I just watched the livestream. I am so disappointed, this was one of the good shows this season.

It was fun while it lasted, I guess.

Throwing some guys in the mix made for some great moments. It really spiced up the series for me. Riko's little brother is also pretty funny. I have a feeling we won't be seeing them (for a while) though.

On top of that: their secret love advice secret may be leaked by the newspaper club.

Maybe the production can throw a to us yuri lovers a bone and include a picture drama on the disc releases which the yuri haters can say "it is not canon, didn't happen". The script is easy as pie, Maki is such an airhead that she is bound sooner or later (as their experience with guys advances) to ask kissing advice, all those kisses to mr. huggy do not count as her first kiss, so why would a practice kiss with riko count as such? Hilarity (and some light yuri) ensues as Riko turns red all over, tries to run (Maki seems to have monstrous strength when focused), hide to no avail.

Can we just talk about the fact that I pause the opening every time just to stare at cross-Maki? Like OMFG.
Rentarou is adorable.
Sayo pisses me off but I missed Suzu...
Maki's fangirl 'kyaaaaaaaaaaaa' lmao.
I love Satoshi already. He's cute. Jan pisses me off though. He should date Sayo! XD
Into Kurahashi's house next episode? And the Momo and Nana are bad news (no pun intended).
The plot thickens!

Still the best new anime alongside Free! Loved every second of it. Riko is <3

It wasn't the appearance of boys, but the randomness of it. Maki will be a fun girlfirend even though she is so dumb! <3

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

jesus dropping a show because a few guys show up what an absolutely brilliant reason.


Can you people stop being ignorant? Two guys said in the first page they will drop now that the guys appeared and you all got you panties in a twist. Those guys already said that they knew the guys will appear anyway but they watch the part they liked, it's not that they got all upset, so can you stop basting our balls on how superior you are for not dropping it when guys appeared?

Great episode!
Finally some male characters. They weren't that necessary for me but it's nice that a few are finally there. And the two new female characters came very unexpected - They surprised me.

Poor Riko. She actually tried to give her best. Maki was really cute and I loved the expression of her feelings.

I seriously don't get those people who dropped this show because guys showed up. I mean WTF? isn't the theme of of this show is learning how to get into a relationship with guys? this show was never yuri to begin with and all the characters are straight.. is it that strange that they eventually met a guy? plus meeting guys is a great set up for more comedic moments.. I rofl when Maki called Yan tsundere..

oh well.. I guess some people just can't be pleased

Rentarou Kurahashi, Riko's little brother.
Satoshi Nagino, Riko's childhood friend.
Masaomi Ikezawa, Satoshi's cram school buddy.

Riko x Maki!!
Too bad that ship is being overtaken by these two:
Satoshi x Riko!!
Jan x Maki!!

Favorite quote from this episode:
"Sis suddenly blew up in the middle of the road!"

Fantastic ep, it just keeps getting better and better. Riko is probably my favourite character from this season now. I really like her boyish side a lot, but that doesn't mean she didn't look damn fine wearing more feminine clothes too.

I had Maki's excited scream all throughout this ep.

Jan and Satoshi are an excellent add to the series. I loved Jan's unwillingness to talk to Maki. I don't like those two reporter girls though, they annoy me so much even after only like 1 minute of screen time.
