| Man... I really feel like Im only watching 10 mintue episodes. SIGH and I think this specific episode is a build up episode to help the moment for the next one. SOOOO yeah, I wouldnt say filler but a bit like it considering half the episode was building up the character the MAIN characters were going to cosplay as. And Honestly, the character development Gojo had shows and shines in this episode like a BRIGHT STAR! one heck of a character development being show cased. Other than that, I dont know what to take away from it. 4/5 PLOT: 10/10 honestly the delivery of the characters for this episode was pretty well handled in short amount of time OST: 9/10 the sound makes my heart skip a beat beep boop CHARACTER: 10/10 heavy W on the supporting cast, as well as the main leads the dialog shows great chemistry as well as character progression Gojo has come A LONG way from an almost otaku like characteristic Overall: 4/5 due to how short it felt... AHHHH with that being said Im not binging it! Screw that noise BYE NOW |
  TOP FIVE THIS SEASON 1. DANDADAN 2. Gachiakuta 3. The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity 4. My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 5. Clevatess [completed] |
| Yet another really good episode. Cultural Festival time, I was wondering when one of these would show up. Dude, I actually really want to watch PrezHost. It seems really good and I wish it was a thing, would love it to be a thing 'cause I wanna cry to that 'Bento Scene'. Is it really that tearjerking? Gojou's classmates are the best man, they were looking out for him saying that he shouldn't do 2 things at once, just really great people. Wish I had classmates like that. 5/5 |

@TheColonel76 I've seen a few mentioning it, but its not even the same thing. Those making it sound like it is, are mistaken. Lets look at what this one has in My Darling
Cross dressing prez who becomes a host at a DIFFERENT location not in school (Ouran btw is in school) to help out others. Has a friend whom she's close too that she meets on a bench likely near the school/on the way to school who gave her a bento who knows her secret because the prez revealed it to her. Those who visit the prez as Rei the host, know she's a girl cross dressing as a boy. (Ouran those visiting Haruhi do not know this)
Now, let's look at MAL's description for the very first ep of Ouran but having seen 4 eps myself (I dropped it, didn't like it) let's see how very different it is. And b4 I post the description, let me just point out my thoughts as if u've read it. Now you cna see why I said it's not a riff, or Ouran. Just because it has a school theme and a host who cross dresses doesn't mean it's Ouran, it's not. There's other anime out there with similar themes and or that have Hosts, I can't recall the names of any but my guess is, sicne Ouran is the most known one, that's why a few people are claiming its Ouran when it's again, not. Anyway, here is the description for Oran and below it, my reason for why I didn't like the anime (but think it's an alright anime)
" Haruhi Fujioka is a studious girl who has recently enrolled at the prestigious Ouran Academy. One day, while looking for a quiet and peaceful place to study, she stumbles across a seemingly unused music room. Upon entering, Haruhi is welcomed by the members of the well-known Host Club: a club in which attractive boys amuse girls from across the entire school. However, when Tamaki Suou—the founder and president of the club—startles the bright scholarship student, she accidentally breaks an expensive vase.
With repayment looking difficult for Haruhi, the Host Club members come up with the perfect solution to the girl's problem: work for the club and ultimately become a Host herself! Mistaken for a boy by her peers, Haruhi has to entertain various female students while coping with her fellow Hosts' extravagant personalities."
Reason I didn't like it. They basically black mailed her into doing that (which is entirely different to Rei's reasons for doing it) and the anime was just ok to me, 4 eps didn't feel like the plot was moving, I wasn't a big fan of the reverse harem (I prefer in fiction boys cross dressing as girls not the reverse and also not a big fan of reverse harem to begin with, again, in fiction) but adding to that, none of the characters really stood out to me. I do get why people would like the anime, but for me, it was just alright, so I dropped it since it wasn't for me.

| @_Kaorinite Interesting to hear your thoughts on it, it does sound quite a bit different than the parody here but I can see why some people are saying that’s what it’s parodying, there’s a few differences like you said but I think it’s understandable. Thanks for filling me in tho, even if you didn’t like it I still think I’ll check it out, I can get into reverse harems after all. |
| Does anyone know why the students addess the teacher as 'Hana-chan'? This seems unusual. https://myanimelist.net/character/254242/Tae_Hanaoka |
| He said "Kirei"! My boy Gojo said "kirei" (beautiful) for a fabric and not only for his gorgeous girlfriend. Show is absolutly ruined |
| Nowa being the best little wing-woman imaginable in this episode. We had her in karaoke, SCREAMING, the question of if they were together an episode or two ago; then in this one she's informing people that Gojo makes all of Marin's cosplay outfits, which eventually gets the entire class on board with this power couple. Gojo's just gradually starting to realize that he doesn't need to hide his hobbies, because his classmates are supportive of him; and nobody thinks his hobbies are "creepy", especially since his specialties can lead his class to victory with Marin's cosplay. This sort of character development is absolutely important, and hopefully will lay the groundwork for Gojo to realize he is accepted by his peers. Not to mention it also subtly highlights how much of a rock Gojo is in Marin's life. |

| @TheColonel76 Oh make no mistake, I wasn't saying you or no one shouldn't watch Ouran, as it's an ok anime and I know people can and do love it which is why I was trying to be careful with my words. I think a lot of people will like it, it just wasn't for me but whenever you get around to it, I hope you're able to enjoy it. :) Others have tagged me saying its parodying not just Ouran but Maria Watches Over Us. Admittedly, I have not yet seen that anime (though it is on my PTW list last I checked) so if it's taking elements from there too and combining it with Ouran then I can see it being a parody of both, though it is noticeably different and it's own thing all the same. Heck, I'd watch an anime based on it if they ever made one. |

| @_Kaorinite Oh I didn’t mean to make it sound like you were saying no one should watch Ouran lol, sorry about that, understandable tho, I’ll probably enjoy it if I had to guess. And yeah I even mentioned MariMite myself because I’ve seen it, but it was mainly just Rei who reminded me of a character from MariMite, if you ever get around to it I hope you enjoy it, I remember picking it up randomly years ago and it being way different than I expected, but it really intrigued me so I kept going, I came out being a pretty big fan of it. |
| Decent episode. I love that Wakana’s efforts have finally been recognized by everyone in his class, he really deserves the attention. Knowing him, he’ll probably make the perfect suit for Marin. Nevertheless, I’m excited to see how it turns out. |
| Dropped it, not as good as the first season. These new characters are creepy like Scooby Doo monsters |
| Gojos happy face at the end of the episode, so cute. |
| Not my favorite episode, that anime-segment was way too long. Needed more fanservice and more Marin/Gojo interaction instead. |
| It was cute to see Gojou feel happier after hearing his classmates encouraging him to focus on the outfit. |
 |
| Reverse Harem or Shoujo Ai in disguise? That's the question. And man, Marin's class is full of guys with more MC potential than Gojou. That's sad. |
| Super cute episode! Cant wait the next one ^^ |
 |
| holy fk this season sucks. they knew it would too thats why episode 1 of ts was placed there because it was the only good 1. |
| Hey now since when did the entire class know that Gojo exists? |
 |
YURI????????????? |
 |
| The least realistic thing about this show is how nice the classmates are. This season is pretty good so far though. |
| So Rei is in an anime that is a mix of Marimite and Ouran. What I like most about this episode is how the class now knows that Wakana is making Marin's outfits and how they were so accepting. In Episode 1 of Season 1, Wakana felt that this was a hobby he had to hide in the closet. Also, whilst we can certainly admire.how Wakana overworked in Season 1, this episode is a correction that nobody should bear all things, that we should all do what we're best capable of, and that it's okay to say no. |
| 'I am the world's most selfish man.' (俺のわがまま世界１だ) — Tennjouji Haru |
| I can't believe in Japan school teachers would allow crossdressing, even if its not so vulgar as in Europe drag queens I still dislike it. Kids should not do it and for sure not at school. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Crossdressing cosplaying but it's also a character doing crossdressing lol. It's actually nice we get to see stuff from the series they are cosplaying. Can get invested more. The classmates are nice. Gojo got the push he needed. He's motivated. Also too late to get embarrassed about him knowing your three size Marin. |
 |
| Boring episode... |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| When a episode like this one is my least favorite of season 2 until now, that's telling more than something about how this series is up to a next level. It is possible the series within a series took a little too screentime even if it's existence was justified to give some context, but what i wasn't giving for granted was also giving that amount of screentime to Marin and Gojo classmates and, even better, explicitly showing off how much they seem cool and supportive with both of them. Amazing. |
(save your time and don't try to comfort when i rant on casual discussion or forum games, feel free to ignore me, i won't take it personally) |
| Weakest episode so far. I'm not big of this series spending half an episode to show us what Marin will be cosplaying from. It did work earlier, but here it took me out of things. If they had had more commentary from the normal characters it probably would have been fine. The rest of the episode was just okay. |
| a bit filler... but still fun!! i got super immersed in the world of rei and ray |
 |
| The fake anime made me think of OHSCH. I mean, with the original creator being a woman theres a chance it could be a reference maybe even? Idk |

The reaction of everyone when Gojo said, "Oh, Marin went to buy the stuff."
EVERYONE FREAKIN' LOSES IT! ARE YOU CRAZY, GOJO?!

| @LaczPro19 Same energy |
| Slice of Life Anime about the everyday life of a German Philosopher: Nietzschijou. |
| I’m so glad that Gojo’s classmates are so nice and supportive and that’s going to help him a lot in gaining more confidence in himself, in what he does, and what he likes. And all of that is thanks to Marin. I really can’t stop admiring her. Also, the PresHost plot is so good that I believe it’s a waste not to make an actual series out of it. It just shows how talented the author is |
| A new challenge for both Gojo and Marin - a crossdressing cosplay that will win the beauty pageant session during the cultural festival at their school. Fingers crossed for both of them! This episode was rather timid, but I get that it's just a mere build-up for what is about to come. I wonder how other classes will fare during said festival. |
| I love how supportive the class is, love this episode and how the entire cast of characters interact with one another it feels so natural |
| everyone getting along with gojo is insanely optimistic writing, the lack of "challenge" and conflicts, which would give more meaning to the show, makes it a bit boring |
| Damn, Marin is so cute and i really like how she is drawn here and in chibi versions too. And her style is divine, long gyaru nails with black long sleeves, its an art. Story of shoujo anime is surprisingly good, reminded me anime fruits basket, although it has different story, but the main heroine was similar and that anime was also shoujo. Its cool that the classmates decided to help Gojou. And lol, would Marin really spend all the money on food? Tbh i used to hate Gojou because he is a nerd and boring, but he probably not that bad. And he looks good with Marin. I love yuri couples, but this one is also not bad. But that i still like more assertive and perverted male MCs, i dont like loser MCs like in harem animes. |
