Another blistering success arranged by Chika, that musical duo part was awesome. Also, Kaguya, god damn, how many mental punches and counter punches she took...

Great episode, everyone made the most of their screen time.

Always a fan of skits with Chika training Shirogane lol. I do feel like the pace was a bit faster than usual, but as long as it doesn't happen in the most hilarious chapters or the most important ones I'm okay with it.

Am I the only manga reader who thought they did it better in the anime?

You're not, it's a shame that the Hayasaka part got cut but I laughed more watching the anime than when I read the fetish chapters, Fujimom on Mother's Day was also so much better since we could actually hear how horrible Prez was. Kaguya trying to manipulate Iino was a dark scene the whole time, it really showcased how terrifying a Shinomiya can be and how hard Kaguya is working for Miyuki (the only way she knows how). I loved every second of it, it may be a weaker episode, the weakest on this season even, but by no means it is weak at all.

Am I the only one who missed the fact that Kaguya was lusting after Miyuki? I thought she had weird taste, but it didn't click that it was a fetish until I tried to look up the online discussion for it.


My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu

Honestly, though does seem to be an unpopular opinion, I thought this episode was better than last week’s, which was my worst episode of the season. I think as someone said before in this thread that the eyes chapters were originally way too slow paced for the joke it was telling, and cutting the two to make them basically a single skit made it way more enjoyable than the manga, at least for me. I never felt the pacing was too fast, and that honestly surprised me, because when they adapted the 4 French chapters last season I did think those were rushed. I honestly thought this one had perfect pacing. But as always, this stuff is subjective I guess.

Kinda unexpected some manga readers didn't like this as much as the other episodes. As I haven't read the manga multiple times, so there's no way I'll recall off the top of my head details that may have been skipped. But the only thing that felt a little off was the fact Iino only appeared again towards the end of the episode.

There may not have been any "special" moments like the stargazing scene or the whole school eagerly waiting for a confession. But even then, as a whole this made me laugh more than the previous episodes. (Chika not knowing Shirogane's birthday takes the cake as the funniest scene though)

enjoyed every bit of this episode, perks of being an anime watcher only huh? tho im pretty sure ill pick the manga up after the last episode.
im a bit scared at that campaign ad posted by chika, learning it was all chika's initiative had me a bit worried lol. well as long it's not worse than lino's campaign ad, it'll be all good. if only kaguya realizes that she doesnt need to do anything for shirogane to win
why am i so well drawn into time travel stories?
do i really have that many regrets?

The two first chapters were definitely rushed which was a shame, I really really liked them but oh well you need to cut some stuff.

While the 3rd one(the singing one) it was really well adapted, but I couldn't stop but wonder, how can they waste so much time during the election? A small reminder like the first hayasaka chapter that it was before summer vacation would have been perfect but they decided to put it in the election time... kinda a bad move imo.

Finally the last chapter was perfectly adapted no problem. Sadly this episode was just kind of a mess to me, wasn't that enjoyable. Hopefully the next episode deliver because we have the perfect set up to do the election arc properly now.

So many great moments, Love truly is based on individual merits but its baseline is putting up with them. Chika will probably be the best wifey. Love her. Other than that Hayasaka is really reliable another promising wifey.

Too bad they want to finish the election arc in 2 eps. They will probably adapt the last chapters next episode.

Not that I hate. The best of Kaguya will happen after the election anyway...

The election arc really isnt that long all things considered its just the first time of many to come where there is something you can even call an arc, but looking back on it there seriously isnt much in the series that would take multiple episodes to adapt when you really look at alot of it, they really could of just skipped the eye chapters and done it with this week but thank god they didnt cause they'd just rush what I'd consider to be some pretty great chapters at the end of it.

Aniplex subbers chose the term social distancing. But this manga chapter was released back in 2017 with the same scenario so it was just pure coincidence.

Not coincidence. They actively worked at this by changing the script.

The translator, editor, and anyone else involved in localizing this episode should honestly all be fired.

It's basically Rule 1 of localization to NOT rewrite the script and that's literally what they did twice with the "social distance" lines. The Japanese did not say that so the subs should not say that. It was a really tasteless and poor attempt to be "funny" and "current". You don't do that with someone else's work.

Kaguya was a terrifying negotiator until Shirogane's name was brought up. Poor Kaguya looked traumatised at the end.

Welp I'm not really mad with the skipped parts , but there are some dialogues about Ishigami that were cut off, and those I feel they give him some presence for the next episodes.

Anyways, it was a good chapter, not the best, but not awful too.

This episode was very hillarious! XD Shirogane was unrecognizable with that fresh vibe! Shocking! *-* And the exausted (zombie) look was so out of the blue it was funny XD
Oh no, the moment he sang hurt my ears, but I was happy to see Fujiwara help him practice after that, even after what happened during her previous (first) lesson. Very nice! Seeing her cry proudly with her success was adorable <3

Damn Chika really the parent here, building Shirogane from the bottom up to being a capable singer, oh also i've studied music for 2 years and still can't understand shit so i can't blame him for not understanding xD
Intentionally or not, Iino managed to flip the argument over on Shinomiya with her emotions, i guess thats one weakness to a all knowing overlord we'd least expect.

Five episodes to finally have the first "O kawaii koto~" moment of this season. It sure took its time, uh?

Honestly, I was expecting a lot more from the "Miyuki becomes popular" segment. I mean, just imagine the possibilities but well.

Overall, another entertaining episode but not as strong as the previous ones. Kaguya having a fetish for exhausted Miyuki was quite the curious revelation tho.

Miko is in the opening animation so wonder if we'll see more of her after she loses... And boy is she gonna lose talking about discipline to her classmates, and then scaring the cute side of Kaguya, of all people.

Likewise think the episode works having not read the manga, not really that much more jumping around than any other episode. I may check out the manga to see Kaguya's machinations with the other candidates that were just hinted at here, but the show does well having her be around characters who her vulnerable side rather than her in ruthless mode.

Subtitle jokes dumb but nothing was lost so meh.

Manga readers seem to be upset about parts that were left out, leading to rushed pacing.

I haven't read the manga, but I didn't stop smiling the whole episode through. While this episode may have lacked the traditional battles between our lovers, I still thoroughly enjoyed it's trademark charm and style.

Also seeing Kaguya go ruthless on the competition was incredible.

This week you need to give it to the all conquering Fujimama! So, the screecap is dedicated to the Rabu-tantei Chika!

I really thought the pace was too much in order to squeeze in 4 chapters (even without an ED). The Hayasaka part was one of my faves from these chapters and it got truncated to make room for other moments. In short: Read the manga!

Regardless, I have to give it to the voice acting and overall direction of the parts that were animated.

Also, Iino<3 is just too pure and we cannot hate her for that, now can we? The way she didn't forget to blush a bit while saying "Might as well get married" was so adorable! Haha!

Kaguya finally met her match in the incorruptible Iino! But it's her blushes that left a bigger impression!

I really thought we would jump straight to elections arc so I can see why manga readers might feel like a deep in the run on top of being rushed. But hey, we got some bonus contents that might not have been animated.

Election Arc next!

I honestly think they did a good job squeezing in 4 chapters these episodes, the transitions were smooth enough.

They skipped some stuff but, they were not really super important, this episode was still amazing the adaptation will not always be 1 x 1 with the manga besides we are lucky that our beloved manga is having an amazing adaptation.

We get the best of both worlds, the manga and the anime.

I loved the episode and laughed a lot but felt like a lot of the humor was repetitive as usual. Usually repetitive or reiterated gags work, even in Kaguya-sama but for some reason in this episode, I didn't laugh as much at the parts with Chika raising that boy again and Kaguya trying to cull the rival candidates.

Just ok. Reiterated gags as someone else said, which is not too bad for this series. "Social distancing" (doubt that's an accurate translation).
I really expected there to be more of that new character in this episode, but nope. Just one part of the episode again. I thought she'd be a new main character that actually shows up often like the other ones, but maybe not.

Can't forget how great Kashiwagi is! She's basically Kaguya's protective friend and who understands her cloistered upbringing best. Can't get enough of her reactions. Also loved her inner comments when Kaguya was saying it was about a 'friend'.

Chika is going to have PTSD from teaching Miyuki one of these days.

Next up, the election! So looking forward to it. Loved it so much, can't wait to see it get animated!

I felt this episode was a bit weaker than the last 4. The pacing was a bit off and the episodic nature of it in which the events weren't connected much with one another, as compared to the previous 4 which progressed the story, both are the major reasons for it. Still a great episode nonetheless.
