For us manga readers, this episode was an absolute masterpiece. It really shows how A1 pictures grabs the original material and pours so much creativity + the OST in this episode was superior to those in previous season. This will be one of Anime's best rated seasons.

There is so much care put into this anime by A-1, I have to commend them every time.

Really fun episode, but I wonder how far this season will get into the manga..

Waiting room for drama arcs.

AND KAGUYA IS BACK!!!
It has been very funny the 1st episode of this 3rd season.
In the end the Ishigami thing didn't work xD, Hayasaka saved Kaguya with the cell phone, and in the end Chika turned out to be the weakest one hahaha.
Very good episode, and the opening is very good.

Very interesting, this is the anime I've been waiting for the most. Unlike other anime, the comedy in this anime makes me laugh out loud. Thank you for comforting me this time. Unexpectedly, he would get a score of 9 in MAL, indeed from the start he had the potential for this. Very good anime.

Ah, I wanted it to feel like an hour, but here the episode felt like 5 minutes
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

These chapters where funny as it was in the manga, but the anime really does make everything funnier by going so over the top. The arm-wrestling bit especially was not nearly this funny.

Hayasaka, Chika, Ishigami and Masayuki Suzuki are back baby, I don't understand how does the author do it, the show is just as good and funny as it was on the first episodes, Ishigami is just as much on an misunderstood and mistreated angel.

This was fantastic, only the first episode and it is already starting off strong. The episode was fucking hilarious. I was so thrilled during this episode, and I paused thinking I was near the end of the episode only to find I was halfway bringing me immense joy. I love the exaggerations of this show so much it is making me exaggerate a little I think. The amount of times I went crazy rocking in my chair throwing my hands up in the air or clasping them over my mouth in excitement and glee. Holy shit, I don't even know why I enjoyed this as much as I do but I sure am excited.

I simply can not wait for the next one.

Great!! I loved this episode! Finally released after a long waiting, and Hayasaka tried to help Shinomiya to not check the messages the group sent her, and turns out that Shirogane asked Kaguya frankly about this situation, which she was not aware of. Fortunately, Ai saved Kaguya right on time, saying that the family have a device that checks all messages.

The arm wrestling moment was very funny, and Iino's phone part was also hilarious.

Looking forward to a good adaptation of this parts of the manga.

PER-FE-CT opening episode. Great introduction to, perhaps, most important arc so far (for me ‘The ABCs of man and woman is as important), if not THE most important. Nearly perfect adaptation, plus, yet again, perfect op. Not to mention, obviously, great audio visuals in general. AOTS easily confirmed, I think there’s no competition even that spring 2022 is ungodly packed with, unironically, great shows.

I’m so happy Kaguya has returned in full glory and proved, yet again, that there’s only one queen in the genre, at least in recent years.

Introduction to the ‘Culture Festival Arc’ is has been powerfully launched. Can’t wait for more, can’t wait for anime only fans reactions as well, cuz we, manga followers are hyped, but anime only ppl are in for a real treat. I’m jealous a bit to be honest, but prolly no suprise here.

Aww, I’m so happy… and hyped, which is rare af for me personally.

Yes, it has always been this way since Season 1.

I recommend watching on Funimation if you can cause I noticed with the other seasons that Funimation translates the text on screen and Crunchyroll does not

A powerful episode to open the season. This time the arcs will have Iino as the main character plus her own stories as well, pretty interesting. My favorite story is the first one about Iino and Ishigami, man's trying to figure out how to let her know of the unplugged earphone lol.

Liked the episode, I hope they can keep up throughout the season as usual.

After warming up with Season 2’s OVA a few days ago, Season 3 is finally here! It’s been a good wait, Season 2 back in Spring 2020 was amazing and I’ve been patiently waiting since, glad to see it finally, and what a great first episode to lead off with.

My favorite bit of the episode was definitely the first bit, the classic not all the way plugged in headphones, and how the things Iino listened to progressively got more questionable was hilarious, it was nice to see Ishigami do all he could to save her from embarrassment, but it was all for not lol. The rest of the episode was hilarious as well, love seeing all these characters again and the intense hilarity they bring.

Definitely can’t wait to see what else this season brings, after seeing that OP I’m excited to see some new and returning characters get the spotlight (especially best girl Hayasaka lol) and the song was great as always by the classic Suzuki, but I’m more excited to hear the ED this time, while the OPs always slap, the EDs are personally my favorite.

Man, what a great first episode! Shuciin is back, Ishigami's effort to save Iino from being ashamed due to unplugged earphone, Kaguya's LINE debut, and armwrestling competition, it's great! A god tier animation for the opening would be one of the most recognizable opening in 2022.

Wait, are there someone noticed gamelan and flute BGM in the beginning of Iino want to be soothed beside of me?

Meh.

The 2 jokes relating technology (Ino's smartphone and Kaguya Line's conversation) felt so dragged out, overexplained and unfunny that for a while I thought I was watching The Big Bang Theory.

The arm wrestling joke was ok, but I feel that after Asobi Asobase arm wrestling joke no other similar joke feels fresh or outstanding.

This episode had me crying from start to finish because I was laughing so hard. I actually had to pause it because I felt like I was going to pass out at times.

Just everything had me in tears. I think I laughed the most at the phone notification part...LOL

happy to see this show return with a very fun first episode.

as always and despite its genres, the people at a1 really make this show a feast for the eyes.

i also hope that this episode represents somewhat well what the rest of the season will be like with its tone, as i'd rather have it be more lighthearted and without long arcs that are too melodramatic, like that ishigami arc (not hating, it's just not really what i'm here for).

regardless, it will definitely be a strong contender for aots.
