This is so well-animated, absolutely gorgeous. I wish more anime looked this good... especially after watching RoR III trailer ;___; but hey, seeing over expressive Marin works too. It's a huge W in my book, and I hope the rest of story gets the same treatment (we probably won't cover it this season, we need one more, correct?)

I was sooooo annoyed by Gojo, so I appreciate a bit more deeper look into his mind. I am not going to hate on him, since he's just a horny teenager, but brother, you really need to have a bit more confidence in yourself and your work. Plus, girl literally undresses in front of you, maybe ask her out or smth instead of crying over seeing a bit of skin? There's a fine line between being a gentleman, being awkward.. and acting like you are 12 and accidentally found Playboy. Seeing him being so cringy and smashing his head against the wall every time Marin puts her butt in the air... is going to be a challenge, that's for sure.

Glad the show is back after 3 years. Was a bit weird with the first few minutes thinking I’m watching a different show.

Animation is fine, but it feels like there was a change in the visual quality as it felt like S1 looked better. Still cant complain and I’m really just nitpicking.

As an anime only, it felt a bit rushed. Just hoping thats it’s just me and that the show doesn’t have pacing issues.

Nowa asking about the two at the end though. Cant wait for next week.

Ngl, the art design looks worse and different than S1... the animation is awesome true, but the art style itself looking worse was taking me out of it, worse was the multiple different changes in art style throughout the ep... that really took me out of it every time it happened, even if again, it looked visually impressive, it still felt off and looked worse than S1 which is, upsetting. The animation being better though does help lessen it, but, at the same time if thats why the art style is worse (just guessing) than I'd rather we have the same art style from S1 and less animation.

All that said, the ep itself was pretty good to great at points. So many fav moments in this ep, the pocky, Marin being disappointed the pads wouldn't drop down and ofc, the OP of the ep itself. I knew what was going on because I've seen this happen a few times in other anime b4, so I just enjoyed it without being confused or wondering if I had the wrong anime. and then that ending, totally out of no where u just don't see it coming. I look forward to next week's ep. I will be skipping both the OP & ED songs if they're the same ones from this week though, those were ok at best.

Yeah they went all out on the animation. Marin is the GOAT, as always. That girl can make a guy blush more than any ecchi out there with just a partial panty shot, gyat damn...

Instantly in love with the anime all over again. Can't wait for the next episode!

Slow clap for this episode. Welcome back, Marin and Gojou. Three years was worth the wait, though I would've wanted it to come sooner. These two are such a power couple. And now, Gojou is put on the spot. haha Love it. I also love that, right at the onset, the anime talks about finding your tribe. When you do good things happen.

great animation but it just has this vibe of 'made for 14yo virgins' written all over it and i cant really get past that. I mean c'mon 'i just loooove bunny suits'? 🙄
Wish they would make the chars a bit more believable and take less cheap shots like those
@Fairtale I think you missed the entire point. So let me break it down as there's 2 points you missed.

Point 1. Marin has always gushed about what she loves and for the record, I also really like Bunny girl suits and I'm a girl :P So already this is believable and that brings me to point 2. which is, Japan really does have a thing for bunny girls and anime characters in the suits as merch and in anime/manga in general which Marin even pointed out in this ep. As Marin said, everyone loves bunny girls. It has nothing to do with one's age or being a virgin nor was there any cheap shot here.

it's been a while since I watched season 1 but for some reason I was excited about the romance and watching the intro reminded me that the focus is her (and fanservice) not really the romance 😔 I enjoyed it regardless, I really like the characters

episode 4/5

Wow, the animation of this season seems better than the first part, I also feel like the characters are cooler to follow, and look, I hated the first season, but this one so far is being good to follow.

We had bunny cosplay and some funny moments, like when that guy thought Gojo was going to use the costume on himself lol, there were also a lot of movements for a romantic comedy, the studio is trying its best on this one


Now what I would like to know is if they two will date or maybe advance the romance a little? They two are so cute together

Bro, no way Marin wears that kind of panties on daily basis. Girl's so ready to go to battle yet her partner can't even look her in the eyes for a minute straight. *sigh*

And Gojou with the golden chance to cosplay as that Young Master to complement Marin's outfit but instead chose to wear a lame bunny costume. *double sigh*

Impressive first episode in terms of visuals. As for the content, it was more of the same with Marin showing skin and Gojou having a mental breakdown because of it.
Nowa singing her heart out at the karaoke and no one paying attention to her was funny tho.

How much AI is going on here? I mean it’s good, but some moments are so fluid it’s uncanny compared to what I’m used to. I can’t imagine they have more animators or time to make this fluidity happen.

Also, the shading on Gojo’s outfit I think is a big giveaway for me that something is up. Maybe the styling is just from a single rockstar animator? And it happens to look uncanny?

Bunny girl Marin makes my world go round. I'm so glad this show is back and I'm looking forward to seeing the group interactions now that Marin has dragged Gojo out into public (albeit in a bunny costume). And Gojo is starting to realize that maybe he just decided for himself that no one wanted him around based on one thing one girl said one time.

Also Nowa the hero just straight up asking (yelling) what everyone wants to know mid-karaoke. I love it haha

@_Kaorinite I think you are right and, dont get me wrong, I really liked the first season. But maybe because of how, at least in the west, bunny suits are associated with Playboy, this realy rubeed me the wrong way and felt like a really cheap shot. Like that other anime "Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai", which gave me the same feeling. I really like anime that makes me feel like it was done by an author that loves something himself, and not anime that feels like it is the result of a "carefully currated list of likes/dislikes prepared for a target audience". I can't put my finger on exactly what is bothering me, but it just feels like this checklist of "teenage ideal girl":
- oh she likes cosplay
- oh and she is blonde
- oh and she is sexy
- oh and she is popular
- oh and she likes anime and watches them all day long
- oh but at the same time she goes to every cosplay convention
- oh but she also has time to be sociable with all her friend
- oh and she likes the guy who in a whole season still acts suuuuuper shy and "everybody hates me"
- oh and, eys she loves dressing in bunny suits because she's your perfect playboy model to have sex with

I believe every person has strengths and weaknesses. A person that spends 4 hours a day watching anime will learn a lot about that, but pass on learning other things from spending time on other hobbies, and she just seems like 'too perfect' in an almost plastic way. Does that make any sense?

I'm most probably inserting some of my own shit into this but somehow this bugs me a bit. I wish she would show a bit more of her own struggles like a real relateable person, because for me it has started to feel like a checklist of "let's see what young boys wish for in a girl on google search" 😅

But again, I really enjoyed season 1, especially because of how sweet and caring she is, and the shy side she sometimes shows. The anime is great, just this first EP rubbed me the wrong way, probably because of Playboy and the "too much nakedness" or smth. I'm not sure myself to be honest xD

It’s a bit of a sin I didn’t rewatch Season 1 for this, but I think it made seeing these characters again feel even better, the last time woulda been March 2022, too long ago now lol. But holy shit dude, CloverWorks has cooked with this one, it could just be because I didn’t do a rewatch but it looks even more animated than before, every scene had so much motion, every minute I was being amazed. I also love that they went extra hard on the fake anime segments just like the first season, the show in question looked absolutely adorable and I wish it was real lol.

And they really didn’t waste any time either, we were right back in it with Gojo learning a new anime and making Marin a new cosplay outfit, complete with many funny bits and of course sexy ones too, we were all blessed with bunny girl Marin ass on the very first episode lol, the cosplay itself looked really nice too. And it’s a bit of a shame the holiday about dressing up, aka my favorite holiday Halloween, was just a short bit at the end of this episode, but it sure was fun hearing Nowa living her best life in the background with the karaoke lol, all while Gojo is having a personal revelation about what others think of him, really good moment but then Nowa blurted the thing out right at the end, definitely worth a spit take lol.

And Spira Spica is back on the OP again with another fantastic song, hard to say if it beats the first OP or not but I think it’s right up there with it, visuals were sick too, I hope we get to see it full screened next week.

So the team decided to rearrange the sequence and what to adapt for the good of the series.

And I mean, how deeply this team is influenced by The Dangers in My Heart that the team decided to pull a Mitsudomoe S2E1 to start a season, I had myself full on laughing when I see the trick.

Good to see that the team want to strive for the best and look forward to the season.

Man, the animation really stood out here ... either that and/or the way the scenes were directed.

Kinda awkward they skipped over a few scenes, especially the crossdresser introduction. And also that this season is going to be rushed since it appears even the nun arc is getting animated (thought for sure I wasn't going to need to read those chapters yet, guess I'll have to now).

Anyway, the final part was pretty great, how they handled it with that twintail girl constantly singing in the background. I just have some doubts this will get this same animation on all episodes from now on, but lets see.

@RoyalDemon05 No, the animation is absolutely amazing & i have no issues with that, i'm just not into cosplaying and romantic subtext subgenres.
It's not the quality that's the problem, it's the subject of the anime itself, it's just a matter of taste and preference, this anime doesn't appeal to me.
Hope you guys can enjoy.
@tchitchouan ohh I see, Actually it's totally opposite for me, I am into cosplay after I watched my dress up darling before that I wasn't not interest in any cosplay stuff but my dress up darling is change my mind

You don't know how mega-disappointed I was when the manga ended without a single crossdressing Gojo-kun cosplay. I've read like one crossdressing Gojo doujin, so there are fans out there.

But the anime knows what the girlies want, so they added it in!!!! Bunnygirl Gojo hooray!

It's no surprise Marin gets as hyped up as she does with these characters when the in-universe anime they're from go way harder than you expect them to.

With talent and passion like Gojou's, you could say petty insults are a Non-factor.

This episode was great all around in my opinion the immediate start to Marin beginning another cosplay was nice, and not to mention this episode was not short of funny moments. Even when you think its about to get serious (when Gojo thinks they are gonna judge him for the hina dolls) it all goes back to being funny. Very good watch i'm excited to see what the rest of the season will be.

You can definitely tell there is a production drop, however still great.

Anyone else bothered by how it felt like the show was cut scene based. I believe thats what it's called. It felt like most of the scenes had it to where it flips to a different style or a blank page rather than them being in the current moment they are in. Just something that kind of bothered me since s1 didn't really have that a whole lot. Also, seeing Gojo and Marin interact is just way better when in a more real setting then a pause frame type of setting.

I hope I describe that alright.

Is it just me or does the animation seem less great than last season? Perhaps I am remembering it with rose-tinted glasses.
Also I thought that Gojo's and Marin's relationship had progressed to where they were comfortable with each other so why is Gojo acting like... this? Is it because he is aware there is a greater chance of romance blooming between them?
Anyway, it won't stop me from watching it, I just realize I should have done a rewatch of season one before this season had started.

Not me thinking I clicked on the wrong show when the episode started with the Tsukiyono skit lol.

Was the animation always this good in this series? I know Cloverworks always bring tremendous quality, but my God the fluidity of the animation, the character designs, the direction.. even if I’m this series biggest hater I will always give credit where it’s due. This was an expertly done episode.

I’m always meh on the goonbait shit in this series so I won’t comment on any of that, if you like it knock yourself out, but I really liked seeing Gojo’s creative design process for Marin’s cosplay. All the details like boning, chest straps, etc just shows how much work goes into things that we don’t always appreciate. That’s the coolest part of this show for me, along with Gojo being a guy who defies gender roles and likes “girlie” things which is something I heavily relate with.

My fave part of the episode though was the ending. Shibuya Halloween is a massive event that happens everywhere btw, one of the coolest things Tokyo has. But the whole “how do you know to do that stuff, you’re a guy” scene was cool because no one judged Gojo for his interests, it was just a genuine question from Kensei and he was respectful about it. It’s sad that Gojo’s been bullied into thinking he needs to be ashamed of what he likes, though. There’s definitely a ton of male beauticians if you go it any major mall or salon.

I guess this season we’ll see more of Gojo’s past explored and what makes him.. him. I’ll go in with an open mind even if I don’t care for the series.
@Marinate1016 don't forget the Marin is a very healthy young girl and many of the characters she cosplays are from eroge games she thoroughly researches.
