THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Chika came prepared this episode with those bunny ears lol

Looks like we got the moongazing episode. The jacket lending scene was gold though for Kaguya. Both she and Miyuki sold their dialogues so well. Relieving the memories of the student council together is also fun.

Chika's tears though...

Wonder if others also recognize the slight character artstyle change in this ep compared to ep 1 and 2 which made em look slightly more woobly like to this more refined clean style.
Character design aside another great ep, Shirogane got so embarrassed he released a KAMEHAMEHA. Ishi being emo af when they were talkin about stuffs that happened where he wasnt around got me lol.

Easily my favorite episode of the show yet. Bittersweet. This might be the most fun I am having with a seasonal anime since Sangatsu no Lion S2.

The anime never disappoints. We get to see a lot of interactions between the student council and for almost an entire episode? Rare sight to see.

Kaguya and Shirogane are much closer together than before, that's great, and Kaguya finally mentioned the events of the fireworks to him.

Lots of beautiful shots throughout the episode, and lots of laughter and tears. Iino tease at the end of the episode.

Goodbye, student council

The remix of the most iconic ost is epic.

Don't expect a special ED for this episode. Give it a few more episodes.

5/5 as always.

It would have been more good if they could have added a few more chapters just before the ones in this episode... like the Nagisa Kashiwagi Can’t Watch it happen(chapter 51)
If there was no one else within a 5-kilometer radius from Shimamura, and she was in a deep sleep and an all-knowing deity just happened to reassure me that she wasn’t going to wake up the next 24 hours, maybe I’d get bored after 23 hours and I might kiss her once to relieve some boredom...

That's true, but I still have hope, if I don't see one by episode 8 then I don't think there will be a special ed.

Let’s gooo, after a week of cancellations, we still got Bakaguya

The moongazing scene was perfectly done. It’s really cool how Shirogane’s passion for astronomy allowed him to share some of his real feelings without getting all flustered or running away like normal.

Jesus, is Ishigami alive after getting battered with that fan?

Awww, Chika 😔 https://imgur.com/a/aLFdOEK . That actually broke my heart.

There was a slight art style change this episode compared to eps 2 and 3. The character models were kind of wobbly in the first 2 eps vs a more refined style here

Kaguya and Shirogane got much closer this episode and I think everyone realised how much they cherished their time together over the past year

This was probably my fave episode in the entire series tbh. 5/5. Emotional, fun and silly throughout. I’m enjoying s2 a lot more than I enjoyed season 1.

This was a fall in quality from the second episode for me. Back to the mediocre territory again! It's not a bad series by any means, but it's not good enough for me to consider it a good anime like I used to. Couldn't even feel much emotions for this one either, with the whole Student Council drama.

Fantastic episode again.

Miyuki made was on a roll this time around. XD
The moon gazing was so adorable, I love how Miyuki totally destroyed Kaguya's plans by being honest, though he was just being honest because his passion blinded his normal pride. xD
That said, Kaguya never saw it coming. Her flustered reaction was too cute when Miyuki threw all those lines about never letting Kaguya go. <3
Miyuki overreacting the next day about all the embarrassing stuff he said was great.

Student council disbanding! It was so sudden, that I didn't know how to react but seeing Chika and Kaguya tear up made me sad too.
You'll be able to call him Miyuki eventually Kaguya, Fight on!

Kaguya asking Miyuki to stay was cute but I also love how Miyuki just turned it around and made it seem like it was all part of his plan, though judging by the last scene, he only went through with it because Kaguya asked him. I guess we're gonna have an Election arc next? Here's to hoping the student council remains the same.

I actually disagree with battle results more than agree with, but the last part yes Kaguya lose so bad, in fact she shouldn't abandon her original idea of being president and make Shirogane vice-president. Swapping the president/vice president role would shake things up, and showing feminism power on being a female president too. But look like this season focus more on Kaguya's weakness, we heard less and less of Shirogane inner voice and more and more of Kaguya inner voice.

This episode had me in tears from laughing, to tears of sadness, to tears of laughing SUPER hard, to tears of sadness, to STANDING UP! Holy shit this episode was sheer fucking brilliant.

Kaguya's plans failing left and right when trying to talk to Shirogane about the stars. The story about Princess Kaguya, and the music during that scene was so freaking amazing. Then I felt bad for my boy Ishigami for getting hit with the Fan again but I was happy because he was involved lol. Then them leaving the Student council office had me sad.

And then that Kaguya arm grab!!! omg I shot out of my seat because I was so freaking hyped! BUT IT WAS SHIROGANE'S PLAN ALL ALONG!!! FREAKING GENIUS!!!

10/10 episode. Really fantastic!

Oh man when Ishigami called President Myu and Kaguya's reaction was so funny. God I can't express how amazing this episode is any more.

This was a fantastic episode. The emotional depths mixed with the highs of infatuation being bitterly severed like the heads of chickens made this episode stand out as an amazing entry. It built well off of the powerhouse that was last week's episode 2, and I am over the moon with my expectations for Kaguya-sama's story

I didn't expect this to live up to the last episode, which was my favourite in the series, and yet this managed to almost match it. Damn. This would've made for a great season finale, though I certainly ain't complaining.

If the series keeps up the quality of this and the previous episode it'll easily be a 10/10.

Man, this was a fantastic episode! All sorts of emotions ranging from lol'd to crying inside, god bless this adaption.

First part with the much anticipated, Stargazing Chapter! Shirogane in that mode is just gold! "I would never leave Kaguya in the first place. I'd chase her down even to the Moon." - God, that's smooth as all hell. No wonder her fuse blew xD. Damn, that shot of Fujiwara and Ishigami's surprise though.

And then on with the feels. Coincidentally, I left off the manga somewhere around here so I was clueless and perhaps so all the more shocked. It wasn't until Fujiwara and Kaguya broke down to tears that it really hit me, and gee did it hit me. Great stuff!

Reminiscing the past moments were really nice. Ishigami's seriously got a death wish though, I must say. Such growth, much wow lol.

Struggling to come up with a name to address, hmm anything goes I see lol. Even more hilarious how the nickname trivia ended flat after all.

This episode really handled Kaguya's thoughts and monologues brilliantly! Ah man, I just wanted Shirogane to turn back and throw in some support or something of the sort but I totally forgot that the motto of this show for a second there it seems. Goodness me, that was one nasty but amazingly timed move Shirogane-lad.

I personally find it really sweet how he was already a step to it but Kaguya's little act of "selfishness" sealed the deal. Adorable ~

Kaguya picturing the future Student Council with the exception of Fujiwara-san was really rude though, I've to say lol.

Definitely not the usual Kaguya-sama like episode but a glorious treat nonetheless. I'd go as far as to saying this might be on equal par as Episode 12 of Season 1, y'know. But keeping that aside, I can't wait to see for what's in store for us next! And that freakin' teaser, it's about time! Having my 4300th post here is like a privilege.

Edit: Good news is that next episode is coming May 2nd albeit a little change in air date on televsion: https://twitter.com/anime_kaguya/status/1254094318874345475

I am just going to say that I was not ready for this emotional ride. It was hilarious for the first half, but the second half pulled my heart-strings. Like I was thinking that Kaguya and Shirogane's romance was slowly coming together, especially that last scene. My only question is as to why Shirogane even filled the election form in the first place.

A Moon viewing party huh thats a pretty curious interest for Shirogane. The power of the moon when combined with Shirogane's surprisingly deep knowledge of the stars sure devastated Kaguya's first plan. The tale of Princess Kaguya though was pretty insightful though as was the effect it had on Kaguya. Ishigami's desire to shine in the convo sure got spoiled by his unfortunate choice of words though. Still that word game sure did well to create a fond memory for the team. Though their job was a tough one being members of the student council sure provided the team with plenty of interesting moments that allowed them to both develop themselves while also help others as well. The perks of being part of it though are certainly worth it though. Kaguya's relationship with Shirogane though will never be as carefree as Chika's though. To think that Shirogane opted to stand for another term though. Curious to see the new members take up their roles though. Overall an excellent ep as always that was equally relaxing and heartwarming due to the memories and the perceived ending of their term.

The episode was great and normally, I would point out one piece of the soundtrack but... the soundtrack of this whole episode was perfectly timed, it totally fit every scene and so much sadness/warmth!

Also damn, laughed way too hard at the first half. Damn you, Kaguya! You can't force me to laugh with your money!!

I consider the manga one of the finest manga of the last decade, and one of the best rom coms there is. The adaptation is completely living up to it. Specially the voice actors are killing it.

Lol at Shirogane coming to the realization how cheesy his lines were. Also love it when Chika goes savage mode.


Definitely prefer the purely comedic side to this series, but still liked the tone in this episode and wow, that was one hell of a win for Shirogane.

I enjoyed this episode so much, this series is wonderful, i like it so much that i started Reading the manga, i'm on chapter 5 but plan on finishing it in a week. This episode made me laugh and made me enjoy it also without laughing, one of my favorite parts were the music, that piano seems touched by an archangel or something, and how close Kaguya and Miyuki... er, President have gotten; their relationship is the best thing of the series and perfect in every sense.

Yes finally, we are at the point where the series really starts to come into its own. Way less formulaic stuff with far greater emphasis on continuity.

I have been uncertain how anime only people will react to the new character snce the anime first started, guess its time to see in the next couple episodes. I recall alot of people really disliking her so I expect some to really not like her dynamic.

One of the most important things i love about this series is how they keep the serious element with romance & comedy.
Moon princess Kaguya's story how it relates personally to shinomiya's story, both belonging to a restricted world and being lonely far away from their loved ones, the reason why she hates it. but shirogane breaking in like a champ and stating no matter what it takes he wont let her distance from him and somewhere it sparked a light of hope inside shinomiya with ofcourse the over burst of feelings for him :3

Then the disbanding of Student council, the flashbacks with funny moments and nostalgia, how important and special the room was for the four of them. Especially for Kaguya, the three people and the place is somewhere she belongs to.

The nickname part for shirogane was adorable and also the what if the other three became president was interesting & funny as heck. I really wanted to see what would happen if ishigami became president, *cough* chika's nightmare *cough* xD
In the end even though Kaguya didnt want to be selfish and wanted shirogane to focus on his future, its just that heart wants what it desires & you cant just help it with a little selfishnes, love & human nature you know.
Ofc Shirogane just read Kaguya like a Book and played her with the viewers right from the start. I was laughing and glad at the same time. Shirogane proving why he is the MC. Good Stuff.
Also looks like from the final scene a new character is on the way, cant wait for next week.
PS. : I think Ishigami has developed a fetish for getting beaten up by chika xD
