The quiz parts are pretty intense, I found myself pretty engrossed into it all and I had fun seeing them all go at it

The main female's voice is still bothersome but I'm starting to warm up to the character so I think I'll be able to overlook it after a while....The MC is getting a bit better too

Mikuriya's exactly as I imagined him from reading the manga. So good.

Still not a fan of the direction they went with Fukami's voice.

There is no hope for meaningful romantic development.
So it'll all be about the competition.

I think this show goes under-appreciated. Currently its score is even lower than that new Isekai show, which is just sad. Anyway, the first actual quiz bowl was more exciting than I was expecting. I think this'll be a good watch to the end.

Oh, and side note: I actually think the Fukumi's voice suits her very well.

Good episode.

The quiz parts are definitely the best and are really fun to watch.

Absolute Territory FTW. XD
Mikuriya seems like a pretty OP dude, main rival perhaps?

I really like Fukumi and I don't find her voice too off or anything, it's perhaps a little stiff but it's not bad at all.

The female MC's voice still bothers me but overall, this episode was an improvement on the previous episode.

As someone who is a quizzard, I know what it feels like to have comrades and rivals at these events. However, the psychology of this series might be a bit overdone as they are explaining things which need not be explained.

I think I'm getting used to Fukami's voice now especially towards the ending of this episode, Fukami's charm kind of makes me forget to bother with her voice at all. Also the Episode is quite better than the first episode.

tfw You can answer "Zettai Ryouiki" when Fukami shows her thighs lol.

This was much better than last week, I liked that they got right into the quizzing. Character setup is good (the annoying antagonist is doing his job well, I already want to punch his lights out.) All in all, I think it's off to a good start now.

Fukami's voice is lifeless and horrible. English dubs are more bearable. Whoever decided on the casting should get fired immediately.

Shit! They actually went with the worst possible direction that I was afraid of, which is the MC's constant inner rumbling..

It was annoying enough that I just skipped them cos I knew he'd get it right anyway. I'd prefer they focused more on intense buzzer battle coupled with quick hypothesis rather than overly convoluted inner dialogue.

I'd give this one more episode, hopefully they can reduce this problem

If there's anything anime in general excels at it's making the most boring things rock n' roll and intense af, and that's always fun. MC is a bit too dweeby, but i can live with that. He kind of has to be to feel like an underdog. I'm really starting to grow fond of Fukami.

No need to feel stupid. Classics does not mean "general knowledge," only that they are common in quiz bolws.

Agreed except for the fired part. I actually like this show and the fact that I had to SKIM through this episode isn't acceptable. I don't want to stop watching it but Fukami's voice is unbearable and makes the whole show experience terrible for me.

They shouldn't have given her a lead role until she improved her voice acting. She hasn't even had that many roles, and this is probably why. She has zero emotion and just isn't trying. She sounds bored with what she's doing. And it sounds like she's just using her natural voice. Not that voice actors don't do that, but even when they DO, they still put emphasis on it to make it sound even more different.

She just doesn't suit the character at all. I'm surprised they haven't replaced her yet.

The show is turning out to be so much better than what I originally thought, and the new characters introduced are pretty interesting. Like everyone else said, Fukami's voice acting is a little strange but I think I'm slowly getting used to it. Hopefully the series continues with the upward trend and Fukami's acting gets better or I get more used to it.

This anime keeps getting better and better !! , I felt like this episode ended in 10 seconds , Seriously this anime is so damn THRILLING it makes time pass by faster ffs <3 <3 .. New characters have been introduced and i really loved that Mikuriya boy he's really cool and very talented and above all he's a first-year like our Koshiyama !! I mean there's clearly a big gap between them and i don't know how Koshiyama's going to close that gap and i don't think he's capable of doing that , But i got high hopes for him and like I said before I really like his character and I hope he gets much better and better so he can reach Mikuriya's level for now ^' GO KOSHIYAMA <3 <3 "^ ... Anyways , I'm really enjoying every second of this anime and I'm so depressed that it's only 12 episodes :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( .... SO I'M GOING TO ENJOY EVERY TINY DETAIL OF THIS ANIME AND I'M SO HYPEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD FOR MORE , LOOKING FORWARD !!!!

LMAO this is exactly what i was going to comment, theres nothing wrong with the voice its just not on the right character, i feel she needs to be a more "tomboyish" character to sound like that XD


I would agree if her expression is at least tomboy level but hers is tame

same here! in this episode I was kind of drawn to it.

Anyway, the show seems to get better, it's a little too early maybe but it looks like a solid anime, the characters are fine and I really like the theory quiz bowl we get to know.

Like, what do you mean by classics? Who knows this stuff?

Also, yes, the VA. She has a very pretty voice with a nice colour in it, but she just doesn't know how to voice act quite well yet. Borderline bearable I have to say.

anyone that's used to play quizbowls know classics

I hate to say it, but the lead girl's VA absolutely sucks, to the point where my ears could start bleeding at any moment. And here I thought I couldn't hate female voice acting more than I hated Soukyuu no Fafner's Toomi Maya's VA's acting. How wrong I was.

As to the series itself, I was expecting more from the show about quizes (which are generally supposed to be fun), but so far it's pretty dull and boring. Applying 3-episode rule, and if it doesn't get better (voice acting and the dullness of the show), I'll probably drop it.

Why does this show have such a poor score? I swear the rating on MAL is fucked up. Some of the best shows get average ratings of 6 or less, and some of the worst cliche typical anime trash gets 8+. I hesitated to start watching this, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how fun it's turning out to be. Are people seriously giving this anime a bad score simply because the main girl's VA doesn't sound like a prepubescent squirrel child on helium?

Me: "absolute territory"
But then I thought, nah, they're probably going somewhere else with this...

Then the question was asked. I win!

I'm probably going to drop this. The quiz sessions aren't all that exciting, and I don't enjoy watching the MC struggle.
I have no problem with the main girl's VA. I actually like that she sounds unique.

What really annoyed me is the fact that the fat dude who joined the trip just to satisfy his need of women somehow turns out to be able to answer and buzz faster than the other competitors, even though those have clearly done it for a lot longer. Oh, and the last question was too cliché, not saying cliché is bad as a whole, but this one wasn't made very well, I expect to drop the show after the next 1 or 2 episodes as I haven't been deriving much pleasure from it thus far.

I liked this episode but the bad voice acting from the main girl is distracting. The voice totally does not fit the character and it is really weird to see her make expressions, but not hear anything in her voice. I hope she improves in the next episode, because I can't handle much more of this.
Too bad because I really like everything else about the show.

Pretty interesting anime. Am I the only one who loled at the kinda random restroom scene :D I don't know, it didn't seem like it fitted well with the rest of the anime. Fukumi's voice doesn't seem to be fitting well with the character as well. I don't know, it needs a better modulation and more emotions I guess. Seems like Denpa Kyoushi Suzune is repeating all over again. Sigh. No offense guys.

I like the heroine's voice but the acting part could be better.

This really feels like a sports anime with the internal conflicts.

I feel like the type of person who would answer these questions without knowing the full question is someone who usually participates in these buzzer quizes. That black haired guy litterally got the question right from only hearing : naze(why) yama(mountain),

And then you have weird easy questions about voice acting and science.

The MC's voice makes him sound whiny
