I’ve seen lots of people praising this season as “the best” and “peak” of Kaguya, but have people forgotten how the beginning was kind of rough, adapting the worst chapters of the series? Outside of rap and cultural, this season’s comedy wasn’t the strongest as past seasons were. However, since it ended super strong, are people just forgetting the start and only remembering the ending as if it represented the whole season?

Maybe the confession arc was the most anticipated part of the whole season? That's from what I can tell lol but agreed with the weak 1st half.

& this is why i think 2nd season is still the best season.

3rd season had the best episode but that doesnt mean it had a good season overall.

The first half contained the most consistent batch of episodes, the second half had episodes that were clearly better than others. But that honestly doesn't detract anything from the show, it's still a strong 9/10.

i wouldn't say weak start.
i still throughly enjoyed the beginning of season 3 as much as season 1&2 .It's just that the confession arc took it to a whole other level.
TLDR : Weak start isn't a thing, it was just the usual Kaguya sama.
Also shout out to epsiode 5

It was weak in terms of Kaguya’s standard. The other seasons didn’t have these kinds of issues.

There was no need for it to be extremely melodramatic from the start,it was slow development,never boring,just not extremely arresting

It wasn't a weak start,it was different than the other seasons coz of the development and build up to this peak season finale. It was thoroughly consistent and S3 is the best season so far,deal with it

The rap episode and the karaoke sequence were two of the best things out of the franchise so what's your point? The only weaker aspect in comedy regard was Shirogane trying to make Ishigami and Iino friends.

While I STONGLY AGREE to this, I will honestly only deduct 1 point out of it.
The start was really strong tho, like the first 3 eps. Where the pacing kinda falls off is like ep4-5 or sth and is a bit out of place. Despite that, the peak point ending is just too good I'm still giving the show a 9/10 anyways like really.

Wym by a weak start honestly it’s started off strong and by the end it felt kind of weak, and that last episode… not trying to put shame on the anime adaptation but I liked the fan dub on YouTube better.

Yes, but that happens to any anime. It doesn't matter, if they think that this is the best season because of how strong and important the ending is then it is a valid perspective. I also disagree with the first episodes being the weakest, I think that the weakest ones were the ones at the start of the festival arc, but probably because I dont watch this anime for the plot lmao

I'm also those people who think the start of the series is pretty weak, but once i rewatched the series just before the finale, i realized that that's not the case. Not only that, the series is actually fast paced and crammed a lot of plotpoints in such a short amount of time and I'm suprised how everything still goes to place despite how the progression of the series is all over the place.

Ok ok we get it you don't like that so many people are praising this season don't need to copy paste the same post in every thread.And the "weak start" you are taking about I will gladly watch those episode instead any of the show airing right now yes those episode are not the peak of kaguya sama but those are still good I wasn't bored for a single second watching this season.

nah comedy is objective
for me i laughed every episode and this season managed to balance comedy and emotion and characters equally and they did it well
you ignorant mf, you only say weak starting because your baby brain wasn't able to take in the fact that the anime is setting up a drastic change of tone

You said Comedy was not good in starting episodes but Did u check the title of this Season?..See you are right that comedy was not that gud but u should know that This Season was not about comedy but about ULTRA ROMANTIC..Most of the time,this season didnt even try to make jokes as focus was on romance.If u had watched this season with season title in mind u would have enjoyed it more.Also one of the reasons why this season got high rating is because All the Fanbase from beginning of this series had been waiting for that Final Confession and A1 Pictures truly went out all for that scene..It can be considered as ending for this whole series and They 200% Nailed this Ending

nah bro the first half was great we get to see usual students council stuff, the rap episode is enough to say it's the first half was great so stop making these useless threads

Even without the confession episode the whole season is solid 8.5~9

Weak Start + Best ending =

Steins Gate
FMAB

but I disagree in kaguya sama case.

Miko listening to camel and construction sound for soothing, wrestling match, karaoke with hayasaka, papa shirogane scenes, rap. Each episode was full of comedy except one. It might be ep 7 maybe. The preparation for festival episode.

Kaguya motivating ishigami to score higher in exam is also in the start I believe. These are my favorite moments in anime.

Maki introduction was also great.

It's slightly weaker than second season, but that's the fault of the chapters being adapted, more than anything else. People gonna ride hype, you can just ignore it and move on.

probably the beginning was rough for you but for most it was still good, just look episode ratings on imdb and you will get why people think it tis peak kaguya sama

and also look at fmab it had a terrible beginning that I even dropped it but it just got better and better with every episode and then the climax occurs and now fmab is in my top 3

People always fall for recency bias. Just look at 86 part 2 - great season in a great series, but most people agreed it was weaker than part 1 in the story because of the concept of it and how it progressed, but then the last 2 episodes got everyone saying it was a masterpiece. Those episodes were really, really good, but it is at least partially due to recency bias that people considered the entire season a masterpiece.

I mean, that's exactly what happened with the Entertainment District Arc of Demon Slayer. It had one of the most boring and unfunny first few episodes, but because the last few episodes had a very well animated fight, people remember the season as a whole more fondly and rate it higher based on the ending rather than the anime overall. Though the only reason people are going after Kaguya for this but not Demon Slayer is Kaguya made the same grave mistake as Spy x Family of being rated too high and is now suffering the backlash from everyone who thinks it shouldn't be that high. It's honestly depressing to see since up to this point its forum was actually pretty positive and now it's full of nonstop score threads.

Disagree, I thought this was 10/10 stuff throughout. Rewatched the second season a few weeks ago, and it's fucking great, but not on the same level of Ultra Romantic. This is the best anime RomCom there's ever been.

You saying the rap and karaoke sequence were two of the best things is very subjective. Some people liked it, I thought it was cringe. See? Opinions. As opposed to just slapping two things together and saying they are the best things out of the whole show.

What do you mean "strong end"? STRONGEST end, much stronger than S2's end. You completely failed to take that into consideration.

And you're really delusional if you think these were the weakest chapters of the series.

The entire 3rd season was a 5/10 for me. But for people who love "Kaguya-sama" the weak start is apparently irrelevant. More power to the Kaguya-sama fandom.
