| Too thin, a bit too transparent I think. The character were like puppets, a bit Not a good week |
| Lmao Smith with the cat (Ichigo) xDDD |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| If it were not for Professor Hayashida and Smith (Misumi), the episode would be too gloomy as narration. He really does see the protagonist Rei, let it go so much, but this moment marks a fundamental point in the plot. I can not wait to see what he will do to make Rei of his life. |
 |
| The teacher was so funny |
 |
| "I'm even bad at depression." OOF. If that isn't /r/anime_irl material I don't know what is. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Great inner dialogue and I loved the imagery but watching Rei after the match was hard. I really missed the girls. This episode needed some warmth and no that rescued cat story was not enough. Not even close. |

| I love that teacher he brings so much positive energy. Hilarious too |
| That kitten is the cutest kitten ever!!! It was so funny when Tatsuyuki came home swooning over Strawberry and she meowed to the last few beats of the music. How dare you run away in the middle of the game, Rei! Rei is deteriorating, this is not healthy, Rei, go get therapy. And stop crying so much. |
| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. |
| I didn't expect Rei to lose now, I thought he would at least face Gotou. But him losing to Shimada might be better for him, he might learn something from this now. |
| i hope rei learns from his defeat to shimada now |
| The comedic scene when the teacher found Rei crying was a mood killer for me. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting a defeat, he will have to improve. |
 |
| It's sad to see Kiriyama get crushed like that and lose his opportunity to face off against Gotou, but I think it was an important development for his character. This can be a huge learning experience for him. Some part of his lifestyle obviously has to change as evidenced by his losing streak. Sugita Tomokazu is an international treasure. He's amazing in absolutely everything and I love him as Smith. His cat is super cute too! something tells me the mangaka for 3-gatsu no lion is a cat person I really like the teacher as a character too. He time and time again proves to be an anchor for Kiriyama's sanity. It's important to have a figure like that in your life, especially at Kiriyama's age. Hope he joins the workshop! |
| I have to agree with Smith, Strawberry is one of the cutest beings, as if you want to hug it and protect it If that teacher wasn't there Rei would be completely alone at school, good job teacher |
 |
| I HATE THIS!!!!! I hate that Rei get affected too much to that annoying guy (that have connection with that horrible girl) !!!!!!!! Rei should take care of his health! I like Rei's sensei ! I missed the 3 sisters :( |
 |
| "I'm even bad at depression." Shit, that's relatable. |
...At least let me finish.   |
| The lessons learnt after this match were crucial in Rei's process towards maturity. |
| Oh man, that kind of depression is just way too relatable! At least Rei is a strong person and is able to overcome it every time TwT if only real life was as nice and peachy as anime;; |
Did anyone notice an outline of a body in the alleyway? I'm assuming it's a female cause I see the outline of breasts, could it be Gotou's 'stalker'? |

| Rei got fucked over wow. I think this is good for him to move forwards ;) |
 |
| Rei to optimist that Shimada was easy and this is it. He fell on his own hole. Mistakes make you stronger. I think Rei will going to learn with Shimada. |
| Second half was more interesting than first one.. But I also can't really put out something out of the second half too.. Like worries about job place and what he wants from school - interesting.. But we also didn't arrive anywhere for now.. |
| Rei's teacher is the MVP in this episode |
 |
| Yup, he should indeed practice some more self-care. |
 |
| wait, only now rei has depression? i though he always had lol. though i think there's level of it. reminding what happened 2 episodes ago at the beginning when rei started to be in shock. i kinda wanted the trio sisters to come to him, but in the end the teacher took the taking care of him. hope the direction of the story won't disappoint me. |
| The B Plot of a Gay man looking after a cat is what I'm here for now... Also I can't do depression right either, please teach me. |
