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

Well 3 years since season 1, do I still care? Thought Crunchyroll uploaded the wrong show at first (figured it out but still wanted to watch that show ;P) I was going to say how boring bunny girls are as cosplay, but as usual Marin's charms changed my mind...guess I'll be getting figures of both versions of her as a bunny girl <sigh>

And that was totally a reference to the Haruhi girls in bunny costumes (despite only 2 of them wearing it in the show)

All the same colors...almost, I guess Marin is Harui in black and no yellow. (though there are 2 blues)





Gojo figures out he isn't a creep, hmmm wonder if he'll realize he can be someone who could date Marin. Hopefully he does I'd like to see this relationship move along. Guess we'll find out next week, way to go Karaoke girl.

Interesting episode to start this new season, even if a little slow maybe.
Gojo and Marin definitely seem closer than in the first season now, good to see.
Also nice to see Gojo outgrowing a little bit his childhood trauma.
I wonder if we'll see the Inui sisters as much as in the first season?
Marin's friend Nowa got a lot more development in this episode alone than in the entire first season, we also met a couple of Kitagawa other friends.
Not too much focus on the dolls and Gojo's dream this episode.

Decent start to this new season :)
The only thing I didn't like too much was the new OP (then again I absolutely adored the first season OP so it suffers from the comparison).

Great episode to begin the season.
That opening was straight up fire.
Especially the part where marin is falling towards the earth and its literally gojo, showing that he means the world to her. Pure wholesomeness

Bloody hell that was an amazing first episode, everything that was so good about S01 compressed into a single episode!

Also CloverWorks definitely upped thier game for S02, the animation , dynamic cameras and a overall quality is outstanding!

The episode started with a whole lot of sweetness! Marin was teasing Gojo with Pocky (I know she really wanted him to eat it). It was so sweet, I almost melted. My heart couldn't take this episode; I was at the brink of a heart attack! Gojo feels a bit inferior seeing everyone around him being so full of confidence. He doesn't realize he's more of a precious gem himself! I mean, he has so many talents, and one of the most difficult and beautiful is making Hina dolls. Wakana is the only male protagonist I like this much (Like him 3000) in a romance anime. He's introverted and feels shy among extroverted people, but we all know how much in love both of these sweet honeybuns are. I can't say more… Marin to Wakana-kun suki! This pair is so cute… I can't brea…

@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.

Has it really been 3 years since the first season? Well I guess Marin got a lot of exposure since that came out and I'm not talking about outfit exposure (even if that's partially correct). Cool to see the contrast in animation between the show and the cartoon in the show, they mimmcked well the way those play out as well as the sillyness they have. Gojo found it funny as well as embarrassing the whole ordeal with the corset and while in the karaoke he thought they would think he was creepy for making outfits reminding him of his ptsd but no such thing occurred. I wonder if we'll see that girl from the flashback some time in the future.

In any case, with the way they both know each other a question was risen: are they dating? I guess we'll find out this season (or not).

I liked how Marin was all about the bunny girl look, and then later, Gojo is wearing a pink rabbit costume at the party. It's a fine Cloverworks gag that calls back Bunny Girl Senpai's Mai in the bunny girl outfit, trying to be found, and later Sakuta wearing the rabbit costume, also trying to be found. Except in this case, Marin didn't want the attention from the guys trying to pick her up, and Gojo didn't even feel like he was supposed to be there or be seen. Very clever.

What a great start to the new season, I’m in love! Marin and Walana are so goddamn cute together. OMFG, I lost it when Nowa screams asking if they're dating! 🤣🤣🤣

Edit: I do hope Wakana grows out of his fear of people finding out he works on Hina dolls and loves it. It’s off-putting how scared he is of this coming to light, all of this because of the stupid reaction of a childhood friend. The sooner he grows out of it, the better he will be. He gets a huge confidence boost every time he interacts with Marin, and I do hope they confess their feelings soon! 🥰🥰🥰

Bruh I was questioning whether I was watching My Dress Up Darling or some other anime at first 💀🤣

You already Spira Spica is back singing that OP 👌🏻 she just covered season 1’s OP on THE FIRST TAKE earlier this week. Perfect timing.

7:10 oh damn, Marin already putting the moves on Gojo this season 🤣🙌🏻 Pocky Game 👀

18:10 Marin 🍑 I can definitely see why Gojo can’t concentrate 🤣

That’s good Marin’s friends aren’t judging Gojo and are accepting him for who he is and what he does. He was having PTSD flashbacks there at the end.

THAT ENDING 🤣 crazy question

The title of next episode is crazy 💀

My 10th Summer 2025 anime! Holy crap Saturday is definitely the big day of anime this season for sure man 🤣 I think I have at least 5 to watch today. Season 1 of this anime was the most popular Winter 2022 anime 3 years ago. I did not watch it at the time because it didn’t appeal to me then. I finally watched season 1 last year in Winter 2024 and yes, turns out it’s a great anime 😂 I get to see more of Marin going head over heels crazy for Gojo this season 🙌🏻 I’ve seen lots of crazy good manga panels since then too 👀

ahhhh! that was MOST EXCELLENT! :D hah! i laughed so hard at poor Gojou getting turned on with Marin's bunnygirl! i mean I DEFINITELY got that... 'hoy oy oy hot tamale!' impression... especially when she was bending over wiggling her butt around excited at the studio sets...

also, i'm very surprised Marin wasn't read up in-detail on the 'history' behind the Playboy Bunny Clubs in the US. especially how their uniforms were merrywidows lingerie and they're the ancestors of the modern-day bunnygirls. missing the 'boning' jokes about the corset was a disappointment though. ;>

hmm... i'm a supporter of the theory that back of the thigh lines in panty-hose are twofold.
1 orientation before wearing them. makes it easier to tell front from the back before you put them on.
2 contour line. it helps delineate the rump from the thigh and the knee and thigh from the calf.

i don't mind lines or no lines... i enjoy em both! :D
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.

Peak Couple is back

Cloverworks cooked real good this looks stunning. I remembered the bunny girl cosplay but not this good fanservice. Because of animation it looks way way better..
That opening scene of bunny girl anime amazing quality. Hopefully they can keep the quality as the studio also has 2 more big projects.

Some chapters are skipped no Himeno:(
I need to see him animated asap. Gojo insecurity will continue for a while but the friend group is really nice and supportive. No Nonchan hate should be tolerated. That Noa line at the end is always sudden and chaos. She is a good little character.

OP is huge downgrade but I am seeing the Nun cosplay hopefully that Nun cosplay arc is covered. One of my favourite parts.

A little fakery in the beginning, but we’re back! So he finally realized that maybe he put too much of his self-worth in one girl from his childhood and that in the modern day most folks don’t care that he makes hina dolls.

Man, even after these 84 years since the 1st season this show is still fantastic, Marin is still the dreamiest girl, many were claimed to be her replacement while she was MIA yet I don't think any of them succeeded, I also got reminded how likeable and endearing Gojou is, my poor boy gets tested day after day with the sin of the flesh but he is able to endure such trials, it was really nice how he got a bit of a reassurance about his passion but unfortunately it also revived his bad memories, I like him just as much as Marin, which is something I always hate with these type of shows, the MCs are always insufferable or too cool self inserts. I hope the rest of the season is as enjoyable as this episode.

Oh boy, we’re finally back! I got so into this series from first season that I caught up to the manga and eventually finished it, but that won’t stop me from getting my hopes up for this, lol. Looks like the art style is a little more dynamic than it was before, I might need some time to get used to it, tbh. At least the ecchi aspects are still glorious.

Bunny outfits, that’s a W indeed. Marin-chan got it right on the mark, everyone loves bunnies, right? It ended up being a home date pretty much to everyone’s eyes except for the two ig, lol.

Shopkeeper’s delulu was hilarious for a while, nothing surprises me with Gen Z anymore either.

Gojo not getting over the skin-coloured tights was hilarious. I can’t get enough of the two’s interactions. Nowa-CHAN’s intrusive thoughts definitely burst out there but man, talk about perfect timing. My man was starting to go down the rabbit hole…

Halloween chapter included too, I hope we won’t just be speed running through the remaining chapters here.
@_MushiRock11_ That came completely out of nowhere, but her enthusiasm for the karaoke song is something I couldn't match even at her age, though I only remember a bit from high school graduation

I was expecting them to mention adhesives, because I'm pretty sure they make special double-sided tape to keep strapless garments up. Seems like that might've fit their desires (based on how disappointed Marin was when told that there'd be fully supported).

Also the animation definitely looked great. I'm debating if they are going all in (especially if only for the first episode) or if my suspicions are correct and they are just using CG but blending it excellently.

Reason I think it could be CG is that studios have been getting much better with it lately (perhaps they are getting some lessons from the video game industry which has done some extremely good 2D simulating CG) and I feel like there has been a lot more blending where they use CG but do work over it to really make it not obvious (i.e. you can't blatantly make out the 3D model)
