| Could we pls not just fast forward to the part where this beauty pageant will happen and Marin will clean sweep the entire thing and stuff, as yeah, the thing with building up and all didn't work, like at all. You see, the whole point was this beauty pageant and not the “cultural festival” in itself which this class was prepping for, or at least that’s what we heard. I mean, the fact that they’ve shown more of that host club anime in the last couple of episodes, than this entire cultural festival in itself which this class was going gaga over says it all lmaooo. Glad we didn’t drag even more. Also, guy, pls make a less serious face while doing make-up for literally anyone… you see, it’s supposed to be like that. I mean, leave the seriousness and all that stuff to Marin I guess, because she really nailed that performance... credit where it's due after all. As obvious as it gets, not getting first place after that was something that was never going to happen. Anyway, it's baffling how dude was having realizations every wealking minute in this episode, but still didn't get the hint from Marin in the end... fuck them boys as well btw. |

| Cultural Festival is going on as well as our lives are on the tracks. |
| Ah the cultural festival was amazing! Proud of my boy Gojo for overcoming his anxiety and creating one of Marin’s best ever cosplays. I can’t imagine how awkward it must’ve felt to be working with all those eyes on you and everyone’s hopes and dreams, but Marin’s confidence spread to him and he got the job done. He’s at this crazy intersection where he’s finally getting the respect he deserves for his craft, but it’s also nerve wrecking because everyone expects so much from you! Luckily, he’s got Marin on his team who can make ANYTHING look otherworldly. Speaking of which, the way he fell in love with her all over again when seeing her Prince cosplay on stage is such a cute scene! “I can’t take my eyes off her, I wonder what this feeling is” you’re in love silly! Really good episode, loved seeing the class rally behind their two Crown Jewels in Gojo and Marin and the cosplay came out perfect. I need to read/watch Ouran asap since this was just a parody of that lol. |

| Seems the event was a major success and all the characters worked hard towards it. It was also nice seeing Gojou dealing with his nerves in front of everyone who wanted to see the makeup being done. Marin lost her chance for a picture together but there is always next time. |
| That was such a fun episode. Probably one of my favorite moments from the manga. The animation quality this episode was something else too, holy moly it looked so good, even more so than usual. I was expecting a bit more cheering from the crowd but I guess everyone else was in such awe that they were speechless. |
| The Ikemen cosplay was cool and all... But can we talk about Twintail Marin? 10/10. |

| @ScarRufus My man! Also, sad that the purikara session ended up being a group one. And there was the golden development with the love hotel recollection too, xD. |

| Great episode Gojo absolutely smashed it out of the park with the makeup and Cosplay outfit. |
| Being hold by the waist is really that much of a turn-on...? |
 |
| "I wonder if I've ever wanted to be the best at something from the bottom of my heart before." Good man Gojo, particularly when you want it to hep the people around around you. "Man, those girls scream loud." Indeed. "I wonder what these feelings are?" I have an idea. Wow Gojo, a veritable explosion of putting yourself out there for the people around you and receiving affirmation feedback, almost as much as you whole prior life. And, you recognize it, process it, and grow with it. Then you roll with it at the after party, keep yourself on even footing, and know when to take a breather when you need it. You a many times the social person you were when we first met you. Ah Marin, and Gojo, a little downside to sociability and popularity, you do not always get the private together time you were seeking.

| Dude, I LOVE this episode so much. The build up to the cultural festival was done so well. This episode just looked so good and it was amazing. Seeing Gojou work insanely hard to prepare Marin for the pageant was great, he really is a great guy I honestly, I look up to him. He's always so hard working and thats what I love about him. The beauty pageant went so well, so well in fact that I was smiling so much during it. Just seeing Marin up there on the stage charming the audience with her classmates chanting was so fun to watch. I don't think I've smiled so much during an anime episode before but, it was great. I love this anime so much. 55555555555555555/5 |
| Gojo becoming more confident is great to see, he should be proud of himself for making such an amazing cosplay. We're also seeing even more proof that him and Marin are the perfect couple. |
| Nowa and Seira needs their own spin-off |

| i really liked seira, hopefully we can see more of her. i liked gojo's realization of his admiration/feelings towards marin are that of the his feelings towards the first hina doll that got him into craftsmanship. for someone who hasn't really had many relationships with others and is opening up, i like this development |
| You could really feel the unfiltered awe everyone had first-hand the moment Marin got on stage. Gojo delivered as always but man, his efforts especially shown through with Rei. Poor Marin getting gang-cockblocked from quality Gojo time at the end lmao |
| I keep feeling that Seira wandered in from Call of the Night, must be those almost cross-eyes I guess. But Gojou's suffering from romance trope #826, "I wonder what this feeling is?" It's just as bad as Rintarou. |
 |
| That may have been Marin’s greatest cosplaying moment yet, she already looked amazing as Rei, but then she basically became her as they did the champagne call, that was so damn good, that student council president will remember that until the day she dies lol. And man all the buildup to it was great too, like that scene where Gojo did Marin’s makeup, I thought we were about to see him tell everyone to leave the room but nope, bro locked tf in, that was all him, just like Marin had her moment onstage, this was Gojo’s, this lad can perform after all the development he’s had. And the after party was a great time as well, it’s so nice seeing Gojo being friendly with everyone now, also Nowa gracing our ears with those pipes in the background was great too lol. And damn poor Marin didn’t get to do the Photo Booth with just Gojo, a shame but the boys taking over was pretty funny lol, nice moment to cap off this school festival arc, it really has been a fantastic arc. And lastly, Seira coming in clutch with the rainbow rose shouldn’t go unnoticed, she’s so chill too, I hope we see more of her after this. |
| Marin killed it as Rei. This was such a great episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It was actually cool to see Gojo conquer his fears when doing makeup on Marin. Must be my favorite aspect of the show. Whoa. Marin as Rei was fucking fantastic. She completely rizzed up the student council president LOL. Poor Marin. All she wanted was a photo with Gojo but the boys butted in and ruined it lol. This was a great episode. It went by too fast. |
| Gojo was not used to others watching his work but he held his nerves and was super focussed while doing the makeup for Marin. That was so hot, I gott say 😭❤️❤️ Marin as Rei-sama rocked ! Student council Prez shocked ! Class 1-5 won !! Heave ho!! Too bad Marin didn't get the selfie that she wanted with Gojo 😄😄 |

| That’s my goat. GOJOAT! His charm really shines among both females and males. Truly the honored one GOJOAT! Sorry Marin, it’s time for the homies only now hehehe 😎 |
 me and who? |
Nah, I'd win 🗿🗿 |

 💕Marin The Goat!💕 The year 2025 is really annoying! It leaves you confused… which episode is truly the best of the year, I wonder? Rory Rocks episode 5? DanMachi season finale episode 12? Or this episode? I honestly don’t know… As for why this comment might look appealing—what do you think? I put in the effort to show you I’m not a bot hehe! Jokes aside, I’ve decided from now on that for episodes I really love, I’ll write my thoughts with genuine passion! And I truly loved this one! I don’t even know where to start—should I talk about the beginning with the preparations for the school festival? Or about Sera, who personally amazed me with her voice acting and style? Or should I talk about Gojo and the short but inspiring success story we saw? Or maybe about Marin’s magical appearance, singing without music in such a stunning way? Or how the class’s relationship with Gojo grew? And let’s not forget how much the relationship between Grandpa and Marin developed! Or should I talk about the end of the episode, after karaoke, when Marin and Gojo were together in the way we always love to see? I haven’t even touched on CloverWorks’ amazing direction for this anime, nor the outstanding visual quality, nor the strength of the art and animation, nor the sound design in general! You tell me—what exactly should I write about? Am I supposed to type thousands of words to describe all of that? It’s just not realistic! What I do want to say is: if you’re enjoying this anime, or any anime at all, that in itself is a blessing we should be grateful for! And I truly thank this episode for making me smile involuntarily the entire time. It kept me happy all day long. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you next week. ⚠️ Warning: The spoiler button below contains a lot of screenshots—by “a lot” I mean really a lot, possibly up to 20 high-quality ones! If you’re not interested, don’t open it. Thank you. |
| The payoff for the work put into the cosplay was great, the reaction from the girls was crazy too. Plus seeing Gojo socialise more and more is also great. Sucks he couldn't get a picture alone with Marin. The bro's just had to ruin it. Honestly after that whole incident when Marin cosplayed as a succubus im surprised they can even act normally together but I suppose it still somewhat affects Marin at least. My dude locked in  |
| Student Council President was one step from literally passing out right there. |
 |
| Episode was outstanding, best of season |
 |
| finally gojo is falling for her |

"Domo. Marin-desu. How you doin'?" (wrong series, I know) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS WAS AWESOME!!! |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| Best episode of the season and one of the best overall I think. And he finally learns what love is, good going Gojo. The animation of Gojo hyping himself up to do the make up was great as well. For some reason that part really stuck out to me. |
| https://www.honeyfeed.fm/u/34774/novels Why must the products of man trouble me so? |
| Poor Marin got Broblocked. |
| By far the best episode of the season. Lots of pay off here, and Gojo overcoming his fear thanks to Marin's determination was a great moment. I actually thought Marin would ask everyone to leave the room because she recognized something was wrong, but I think this was a much better outcome. Looks like Gojo is starting to really feel some things about Marin. Hopefully next episode they follow up on that. The ending joke was hysterical with the bros coming in and taking the photos with Gojo. That was so good. |
