Haha, the character faces in this episode...


As usual, we got quiz competitions with the buzzers. I think the second half of this episode was much more tense compared to the first half. A lot of mental mind games going on between guys.

Why did it have to end??

Akira was funny in this episode. Those puppy eyes of his... Boss Gorilla couldn't resist them.

Either Koshiyama or Mikuriya will take the final spot. So everything will conclude in the final episode.

If I was Boss Gorilla I definitely would have taken points away from Akira to get him disqualified.

It's all coming down to the wire between Koshiyama and Mikuriya, hopefully Koshiyama can get this question right.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Same here, I dunno why Boss Gorilla caved at the last minute

Still, this round was way too intense and I'm scared that my boy Mikuriya is gonna get screwed over by Akira >.<

Intense and exciting episode.

Akira's still got his attitude issues, boss gorilla could've totally disqualified him but I'm not sure why he decided to show mercy.

I'm sad they had to end it on a cliffhanger like they did, I really wanna know what happened. xD

Funny in the last question in the end which deciding who will make it to the next round. Koshiyama have 10 seconds left while He thinks like 1 minutes or more.


Still this Episode is pretty intense, especially with that cliffhanger... And Boss Gorilla couldn't resist those eyes lol.

I really can't feel the tension in these matches xD It's either emotions are conveyed poorly or it's just me being unempathic, I don't know

it's slowed down to show the viewer how they are thinking. in actuality, this probably all went in his head in those 10 seconds. just imagine thinking about an answer for an exam or something, you'd just "get the idea" instead of talking the whole thing with yourself

intense episode. didn't expect such an exciting cliffhanger. i somehow side with both koshiyama and mikuriya at the same time and want them both to get to the last round and face off each others. next episode is the finale. i hope they make a second season. the anime isn't the greatest out there but it's certainly entertaining to watch and i genuinely hope for a second season

Akira's entrance was something. He was acting like a douchebag. This is an intense round, especially the second half. What a way to end an episode. Hopefully Koshiyama answers the question right.

Gorilla and 4 eyes should have deducted some points from that smartass crossdressing fag so that he could've been eliminated.

Okay, since I cannot divulge stuff that could spoil others on social media, I choose to sputter out what I think about the episode.

I almost died in the suspense for the last question in the episode and they chose to end it in a cliffhanger. DAMMIT. Now I'll have to wait for the wee hours of Wednesday (UTC+8). And too bad, the next episode is the last episode. I am so tempted to go to the manga, but I am stopping myself alright.

--

Here are some analysis and prediction -- don't read if they might be spoilers for next episode or what. Just making use of prediction skill this anime gave me.

Can't wait for the next episode dammit. I'm overthinking and I'm growing impatient.

Akira really ruins everything!
10 seconds for Koshiyama is very long huh!
Even with the rivalry of Koshiyama & Mikuriya, there are others who is still above them!
Koshiyama's forte is History so he should get it right i assume but with the points already set, they should have a tie breaker for 3 members!
4/5.

Think Akira is a very amusing guy tbh.

Good episode.

This episode was intense and funny at the same time. Didn't knew trap characters can make a show so funny and predictable XD Can't wait to see who is the last winner! (yeah sure I am can understand Koshi will win and that's what I want to see)

LMAO at Akira getting Koizumi disqualified.
Gakuto's birthdy is 9/12? That's the day the episode aired.
Longest 10 seconds.
