Mano S Plan seemed like a great Idea, but it turns out that social media problems have carried over to the older generation to. More mature comedy in this episode which was unexpected but hilarious at the same time

Enjoyable episode.
The old man who never stops talking about butts was hilarious to watch. XD
Sanae's butt sure captured both kids and oldies. :v
The oldies learned how to use their gadgets and the internet as well.
Yoshino taken as hostage. LOL! I wonder if their request will be granted after doing that.

Looking forward to the next episode. :)

What? I still find her dull. She became good in my eyes when she sang that one episode, but yeah I agree that they've all become somewhat stale/stuck.

Heh, I guess Internet boom in Manoyama doesn't differ from the inception of easily accessible Internet in other regions. The elderly people and their ongoings were exceedingly hilarious, though. As was that declaration of withdrawal from the kingdom.

Old people on the internet are always fun except for the few old ladies who actually manage to own everyone in PVP, than again it's always nice when someone posts a video of that online.
The girls had a busy time teaching all those things.

And now Yoshino has become a victim.

Everything was hilarious! Erika vs Busman immature shittalking your job redundancy. Riri onto AI cars. Poor Sanae. Being a mod seems hard. Somehow the episode went from Buttman to cucumber to hostage.
Mano-S surprisingly explosive effect, possibly the team's most useful plan so far, connecting the whole community more.
Prof has some good ideas, but likely also leveraged Mano-S to stream their protest. Sneaky, the true Tanuki is professor. Also tanuki is racoon dog, not monkey.

I love Yoshino, she's so cute.

These seniors seem to pick up technology unusually quickly. If only my parents were like that.

Chitose and Ushimatsu's little encounter was gold.

Others have mentioned this, but I like how the characters' outfits change regularly. Not only that, but they also all have their own style which is reflected in their choice of attire.

I don't think so. All it was stated that he's married during the group date arc. But from the interactions so far, It doesn't feel he's Erika's father or Angelica's husband. Truly not.

I thought this was a pretty good episode. Lot of funny little moments. I like how they're building a story on the dwindling support of public transportation in the country. Something that's been in the background of the show since episode 1. With the lazy bus driver who gets so few passengers. I also thought the idea of making the old people more tech saavy was cool.

But that's also where my major issue with the episode comes in. Kind of struggled to understand what they were going for with that live stream part. Do people do stuff like that in Japan? Like a morning talk show live stream for old people? They even lamp shaded it so I guess that was the point. But how odd. Kind of thought the Professor dude was a dick. Not looking forward to all the time the next episodes probably going to spend on him.

Pretty interesting and funny episode with the Manoyama elders.

Chitose-san being lowkey concerned with Kadota-san, though. Haha. I ship it. That ecchi elder who touched Sanae's arse. Hahahaha!

That was fun watching them 5 teaching the elders how to properly use tablet. Cutesy.

The professor is an interesting character, but even the protagonists, not even this time, lose a shot, proving to be great characters. This time, you have focused more on Sanae, now miss the characters of Maki and Shiori, I'm curious to discover so many other things about them. Funny every time, the facial mimicry of the characters, they have no price. XD

Draaag. Could they do anything more boring than this? Like introducing them to tablets would change anything. And I have the feeling that they would be searching for lost relics till the end of the series *sigh*

Also, who with the right brain in their heads translated tanuki as monkeys, like really? Some quality official subs those are.

Well you can't have a kingdom without threats of rebellions so I guess this episode fulfilled that prerequisite. This episode was pretty decent comedically, because watching people learn new things usually involves the use of comedic elements and is almost always entertaining to watch. Even more so when the subject is the internet and the students are cute little old people fanned by the flames of rebellion. Good stuff. The other comedic moments arising from the use of the technology also got some chuckles out of me. Also, for the first time since the beginning of the series, there emerges a really strong secondary character in the form of the professor. All of these elements combined to make an overall pretty entertaining episode.

Regular reminder that sexual harassment isn't funny, anime. Nor is kidnapping, though I find it incredibly hard to believe that the Professor and his band of angry boomers could actually hold Yoshino there with them for any length of time, given that she could very easily outrun them and get away.

That aside, a pretty weak episode overall. Engaging with the elderly was a necessary move, obviously, but the "macguffins needed to revive the festival" thing was a pretty dumb, time-wasting way to segue into that point. Surely they could have gotten onto engaging with the elderly without having to go on a wild goose chase like this. And what purpose does it serve for the Professor to fuck around with them by not telling them that he has one of the three macguffins they need, other than to waste time? Also, is teaching the elderly citizens how to use tablets really going to change anything, or are we back to the show just throwing random ideas at the wall (contrary to the lesson Yoshino learned after the Founding Festival)?

This second cour has been pretty strong so far, but this was a return to the quality of the first cour's worse moments and I hope it doesn't signal that the show's gonna go down in quality again after improving so much in the last four episodes.

Its kinda cute seeing the old peoples actually using the tablets for the first time, using it to take videos of their game, playing shogi, talking to each other, etc. Some even started to pick fights, "Look at this guy's cucumber lolol!". Chitose here acting like a tsundere made me laugh, i need more of them younger days. That scene where the professor is asking them one by one is exactly like class. That one old dude trying to asking butt pics to Siri got me lmao, "i'm not ready for that relationship". The Queen being held hostage is the biggest crisis of the kingdom, how will the ministers tackle this problem??
