| Episode 13 To start the season off, it's a clip from TsuCom, a magical girl show that Wakana was watching it before going to bed. That's because Marin plans to dress as Arisha in the bunny girl outfit she wears in the first episode for the upcoming Halloween party. Of course, wearing a bunny girl costume requires a lot of preparation and thought, something that's outside of Wakana's expertise from the strapless corset to the fact that her corset won't cover her panties. But they worked around it by having Marin wear a clear strap to hold the corset and skin-colored tights to cover her panties, and it works wonders. And so, it begins with Bunny Girl Cosplay 101, and it turned out great, all while Wakana wearing the bunny mascot costume is perfect for him. |
| 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.   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. |

| Marin gives Gojo a Chub, Season 2 |
| Nothing new to the story as it's the same old teasing game. But big credits to its new animation style since it gave the show some cinematic touches. Heck, the animation alone gave Gojo a bit of personality just from movement mannerisms, unlike in the first season where he's basically a blushing and stuttering pole. They hyped up the OP so much during the promotional-- even during the free re-run of the first season on Muse Asia it would play before the episode starts. Now that I've heard the TV size, imo, it's really just the intro/chorus; the rest are just usual Anime sound but with very good quality. The first OP's verse, refrain, and transitions sounds more substantial than this new one-- but it does go hard and very on-brand. No expectation from the story, especially after rewatching S1 (I was reminded why I forgot about the other 2 characters-- They were fanservice fillers. xD). I'll keep watching because the visuals is such an eye candy... the ecchi too, of course. xD |

| Props to Nowa's VA for that singing during the whole karaoke scene. It was a well-done mix of grating yet bearable. Hoping the ending portends some needed character growth for Gojo. |

Domvina said: Indeed. Her doing that struggle singing chase with barely any notes being hit was so fitting for the energetic eccentric character. Then the way she shouts the question was like cherry on top. xDProps to Nowa's VA for that singing during the whole karaoke scene. It was a well-done mix of grating yet bearable. |
|
| Episode 14 And Gojo gets himself into some more awkward situations, from thinking her hair stylist is hitting on her to faking a cold to see Marin and then catching one himself while hiding on the balcony. Then comes a cosplay event at the aquarium where he meets Amane, who is actually a dude who cosplays as girls for a living. This show never fails to amuse seeing that Gojo is learning about the eccentrics who cosplay. |
| Aaannd just like that the whole subject of them dating is dropped :( Lame. Ah wellThe rest of the episode was cute, watching Marin be happy and bubbly is fun no matter what she does. Guess the mystery of how a guy cosplays boobs will have to wait until next week to be resolved. This whole ep went LBGT with her hairdressers and the guy cosplaying as girls. Well at least Gojo doesn't have to worry about any extra competition. LOL Marin's T-shirt  I love that there is a Nendoroid of her wearing it  |

MenchiK1 said: Guess the mystery of how a guy cosplays boobs will have to wait until next week to be resolved. Probably similar to how girls with smaller breasts cosplay characters with big ones. |
| The tomatoes are coming! Arm the dicer! Prepare the olive oil! |
| There's several different ways to do fake boobs. I'm not huge on cosplaying, but I've seen enough to know a few ways it's done. With the type of outfit he was wearing I'd guess he was wearing the whole chest plate boob combo rather than individual pads. Anyway... I liked the first two episodes. Much better than that whatever blue show from a season or two ago and so many other way-too-earnest anime shows that are mostly just boring slop with cookie cutter characters. These two are seriously likable and have very good chemistry. The attraction is driven by the characters and their interaction instead of it being shoehorned in from the very beginning like so many lesser shows do. |

| @MenchiK1 Yeah but she was cosplaying as a hentai character lol. I think she just did a push up thing not totally fake boobs. |

marklebid said: Could it possibly be from 2.5-jigen no Ririsa?Probably confusing it with a different show. |
|
| Episode 2: I guess the astonishing visuals in the first episode is only for special occasions. Not complaining though, this episode still looked great and has so much creative edits. Hopefully, that's the bare minimum quality for every episode. Really appreciate the inclusion of Noa this season. She needs to be a regular from here on out-- she can shake the dynamic up in a big way. The new character's voice instantly nullified any attempt for shock factor xD Was Gojo thinking that the glue was to prevent the "Bisque Doll" and "Bisque Balls" from dangling? |
|
| I got deja vu with the "he's really a boy" reveal, because 2.5 Dimensional Seduction did pretty much the same thing a few months ago. |
| Episode 15 Amane reveals his secrets for crossplaying as he equips boobs by wearing a specially-made breastplate like a bib, and goes to a specialty shop to get the right wig and makeup. And then his reason for cosplaying girls is explained as he was ridiculed for his feminine-sounding voice and just wanted to be somebody else. But it came at a cost as his girlfriend ended up dumping him because of his hobby. After that, Marin does a shoot for the winter fashion catalog, and then she goes home to a birthday party as it just so happens to be Shizuku-tan's birthday. This goes to show that some good things and some bad things can come out of cosplay, but it all comes down to passion. Amane has quite a lot of it even though it meant breaking up, whereas Marin celebrating Shizuku-tan's birthday is just crazy. |
| That guy's sister is hot. |

MenchiK1 said: The first episode definitely felt like that-- a mix of Rotoscope, CGI movements, and tedious detailed drawing maybe?It is almost like they are rotoscoping live action. Looking forward to more. |

@Jozuwa-_-
I thought it especially looked that way this epwhen she was modeling and during the birthday party.

| @MenchiK1 I would not be surprised the animators used 3D models as direct references for more complex poses and movements. Not a big deal. Just another tool in the creatives' box. |

| Episode 16 The school culture festival is coming up, and there's a crossdressing beauty pageant happening. Marin knows exactly what she wants to cosplay as: Rei of the shojo anime PrezHost. In that show, Rei is actually the student council president at an all-girls school and crossdresses as a man in her part-time job as a host to support the family with their parents dead. And it just so happens that she's in a yuri relationship with the show's MC. While Gojo had been making all her outfits, Marin wants to try making this herself. So they get the fabric, which is on the high end, and they get to work. Should be something great as Marin can definitely pull off that look. And one thing I noticed is that the ending foreshadows what outfit Marin will be wearing this season. The first four were worn in the first season, and for the second four, she already wore the bunny girl outfit and is going to wear the host suit next. |
| Yeah Marin trying to make that suit would have been bad. Sewing men's clothing is actually a lot harder than women's clothing. |

| Loved the scene where Marin realizes what the teacher is describing is totally her jam. |

I'm glad it avoided the 'burns out doing everything because he won't ask for help' trope.
| @marklebid Agreed. And they avoided the 'classmates taking advantage of the hard worker trope' as well. With all the discussion after it was revealed Gojo makes Marin's outfits it was obvious to everyone except Gojo that would be his assignment for the festival. Though it made for a heartwarming scene when everyone made that clear to him. |
| The tomatoes are coming! Arm the dicer! Prepare the olive oil! |
| Episode 17 It starts with a live-action puppet show to explain things. With only two weeks before the culture festival, Marin is hard at work making the costume. And then to make herself look more convincing as a guy she puts on the shapewear to flatten her chest and butt. And then the suit is finished with Marin putting it on, and while it looks great, there are some adjustments that need to be made seeing that they were made with her measurements in mind before she decided to use shapewear. This goes to show how making men's clothes are tougher than with women's dresses seeing that precise measurements are required whereas with women's clothes there's some wiggle room allowed. Time is running short, but if there's anybody who can make it happen it's Gojo. |
| Episode 18 It's crunch time as Gojo puts his nose to the grindstone to get the suit adjusted, while Seira comes in to use science to make the makeshift rainbow rose. And then the festival arrives, with Gojo spending most of the first day making the final touches to the suit in preparation for the event on the second day. It's ready just in time with Gojo spending the last hour with makeup, and while he had a nervous moment there when the class came in, he remembers what Marin said and knows that they are all supporting him. So the event comes, and Marin puts on the perfect performance for the champagne call by making the student council president her customer. Then it's the after party with karaoke, a trip to the arcade, a round of bowling, and a purikura pic. Everything worked out quite well in the end seeing that the class won the festival. |

A rainbow rose is 1,000 yen
So they got a fake rose for 100, spray paint for probably 800+, then bought a real rose for 200 plus spent days on it.

| @marklebid I think it's likely that they either had the spray paint already or they would have used it on the other decorations they were making too. So I don't think it would have been just for the rose. And he said it costs over a thousand yen, so who knows how much more it would have been. |

Reply to marklebid
@Domvina I thought of that also but ... meanwhile they spent how much on the fabrics to custom-tailor not one but two suits?
| @marklebid As I recall they still had to stick to a budget so didn't buy the most expensive fabrics. And TBH the biggest cost in making any article of custom clothing is in the labour which Gojo did for free. Also, I thought he only made the one suit then, after realizing his measuring mistake, modified the existing jacket. |

| Episode 19 Marin has been gaining weight and didn't realize it seeing that she has been doing a great job in covering it up. It's not so much what she has been eating as it is her tendency to snack and eat the wrong things at the wrong time. While it's not so much of a big deal for most folks, being a model means she needs to maintain her figure, and now noticing that her costumes don't fit her anymore that she needs to change her eating habits. And then she goes shopping and buys a pair of loose socks she had been thinking about, and to capture the moment, she has a brand new DSLR camera she wants Gojo to use. It took awhile seeing that using a professional camera requires a lot of tinkering, but Gojo manages to get the hang of it. Marin is somebody who get everything once she sets her mind on it. |
| The entire photo shoot scene felt like one of those anime where the viewer is supposed to be on a date with the character. |
| The tomatoes are coming! Arm the dicer! Prepare the olive oil! |
| Episode 20 It's off to Ikebukuro for the cosplay event, and Marin is really digging her new camera taking cosplay photos of Amane and others, all while Gojo meets up with Akira, who is a lady despite her interest in manly stuff, while Akira also thought that Gojo is a girl despite the male pronouns. Akira shows just how much she knows about cosplay props there and does a great job putting together original costumes. After that, it's the afterparty with Akira cosplaying as Miyako, along with Amane and Suzuka. There, they talk about their next cosplay costume as they intend to dress as nuns from the show Coffin, and despite Marin having to go on a diet, she's on-board with this group cosplay. Akira sure made quite the impression there as she knows her stuff and will go a long way in helping Gojo make the props he wants. |
| Akira is a hottie. She doesn't seem to like Marine but I'm not sure why, and Marin appears completely oblivious to it. I suppose it will be revealed later. I hope we see some propmaking. This season is perky but I want more romance. |
| It's kind of annoying that for half the episode they hinted that Akira knows Marin, but never revealed how. Probably a fellow model, as SparkyBob pointed out, she's beautiful. I was wondering when Juju and her sister would return. |
