| Nino the rebellious redeemer! lolz 4/5 |
 |
| Woah, another season with Nino being an obnoxious bitch, what else is new? Seriously, her character archetype must be the one I hate the most in all anime. Goddamn, how much I would have wished Miku to actually beat the shit out of her disrespectful persona. |
| As someone who has read the mango start to finish, this episode came as a surprise. It removed chapters and dialogue that I felt were integral for the series. Especially the encounter with Mystery Hat Girl (not spoiling the name for anime watchers). It felt so out of place without the dialogue. The scene where Nino, Miku, and Itsuki fought didn’t have enough tension and had a disappointing payoff. I hate to say that, as it is one of my favorite moments in the series. The music just didn’t hit hard enough and the slap sounded more like a clap done ten feet away from the mic. It made what was a shocking dramatic scene in the manga an underwhelming disappointment in the anime. Additionally, I felt the arc is zooming pretty fast; some scenes definitely needed more time to resonate and develop. With that being said, this episode was very enjoyable. The jokes hit hard and I was smiling and giggling at every gag. The art and animation is superb. Fuutarou, in particular, looks amazing with his new design. His black hair and especially his gold eyes are resonating with me really well. The touches of expressive animation made this episode subtly better for me. Although I said the pacing was a bit too quick, it could be my manga bias blinding my judgment. I watched this episode only once, and like the art style, I may need extra time to settle with the anime and manga difference. Speaking of anime and manga difference, even though I hark on the missing dialogue with Mystery Hat Girl and those coveted chapters that I feel anime watchers are sorely missing out right now, it is too early to say that they are going to be removed entirely. It is completely possible for them to return later on. If that’s the case, then ignore my criticisms made about them. However, the way it will be implemented will definitely impact how I feel about this episode and this season as a whole. I hope it’s for the better. TL;DR: I really like this episode. The studio is handling the adaptation in a great yet bumpy way. Their technical handling of this season is getting better and better and the comedic, light bits are always a joy to behold. There are some moments where it made me scratch my head, like Mystery Hat Girl, disappoint me, like the scene with Nino, Miku, and Itsuki, and concerned me, like the chapters and pacing, but those did not derail this episode and especially this season as a whole. Plus, being a manga reader, some of the criticisms I made may have been biased and unfair and that I need more time to both wait for and resonate with the changes. I give this episode a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. |

| we are already at seven goodbyes arc? im loving the anime and i have read the manga but i can't really remember if they had skipped some chapters or this is just how fast the story goes when adapted to anime. |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
HulkAgiota said: She is the girl who gets the most development in the manga among all her siblings, maybe now you hate her because you've seen eps 2 but after the Motorcycle Arc I'm sure it will change your view of Nino.I really wanna know why people like nino (or tsunderes in other animes) so much, even more than yotsuba(?). If nino simply drop dead in the next episode, i'd laugh my ass of, just saying... I'm talking about Fuu Kun XD |
| I tried to give this show a second chance by watching episode 2 and now I will probably drop it. All the character look like crap and are all lifeless. Not only does the art have 0 detail the facial animations are horrendous (for example there was no facial range of emotions when Nino had her outburst. Also the proportions don't look human and are more similar to lolis. I'm disappointed and will probably start reading the Manga. |
| Urusai wa ne! Kimochi warui! Finally Nino at her best xD Sadly I didn't read a manga so I can't compare it but so far I'm really liking this season. |
 |
| I really don't know why people like Nino(and bakugo). There is a difference between being a tsundere and being an ahole. And she's still clinging to the childhood boy, when she knows nothing about it. He might be a really bad person, who knows. It's been many years, and people change. If nino was a boy with same personality, people would hate him so much. These kind of people take things for granted, and only realise later what they lost. I know future development can justify it, and maybe I will understand why, but it's highly unlikely I will ever like her. I feel that they didn't direct it well, because conflict felt verrry forced. Maybe they skipped some events in manga, idk. Anyway, looking forward for next week, because I like the mc, and looking forward to how he reunites them. |
Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |
| Looks like the girls aren't getting along well. I hope everything will be resolved between them. Poor Uesugi, he just wants to help and these girls are making things worse for him. |
 |
| They skipped a lot of stuff it seems to me. Hope they do something about it soon so non manga-readers can better understand/relate to some stuff. Nino, man. Its crazy that she's such an immature brat. Makes her |

| Looks like they skipped parts in manga, based on this episode. It feels they will wrap up the story this season. Still enjoyed it though. |
 |
| Oh, so not only does this look like absolute shit now, but they're also rushing through chapters all over the place too? And of probably some of the better parts of the manga no less. This is going to be a right slog to get through, but there's decent chapters coming up which they hopefully won't butcher. |
| Nino is the biggest troublemaker, period. I do hope she eventually gives a big apology to Futaro and sisters for causing a scene and especially the way she acted with everyone :/ Waiting for next week :) |

| I know it won't be Itsuki base on this episode but she's best girl no debate at all! I loved in season 1 and season 2 just reaffirm my stance. |

Goddamn, how much I would have wished Miku to actually beat the shit out of her disrespectful persona. ikr nino is a character that i'll never be able to like, and i cant understand anyone who likes her |
| biggus rippus, poor Fuutarou did nothing wrong T_T, yet he's still being treated this harshly by nino |
 |
| Yeah yeah... the SPICE, the SLAP... good to see this development from 2nd episode only.... hope they adapt this till the end of original manga works... Mentioning some other anime which followed somewhat similar route... I saw Love Hina few years ago, which was a good adaptation to me and next was Nisekoi which didn’t felt that good till anime end (also the Manga end -_- ) and now this series... hoping this gives a good ride till end. |
“ If there was no one else within a 5-kilometer radius from Shimamura, and she was in a deep sleep and an all-knowing deity just happened to reassure me that she wasn’t going to wake up the next 24 hours, maybe I’d get bored after 23 hours and I might kiss her once to relieve some boredom... ” |
| 10/10 episode because someone finally slapped Nino for being a dumb bitch XD. I care what anyone says Nino is worst girl. Yotsuba Gang stand up. |
 |
| I dont want to be this guy but I am kind of disappointed ep1 was pretty good but this one.....they skipped like 3-4 chapters which are really important! As a result the pacing is too fast, also the directing is medicore. I hope they at least cover them later |
 |
| Nino one of best tsundere of all time?? Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Honestly, never been a fan of Nino in S1, so when I started reading the manga, that slap was satisfying as fuck. Great to see it in animated form this time around. 3 chapters cut though, damn. They also showed but they cut the talk they had, I hope we're gonna get that next week instead. As expected they gave her a different voice actor than one of the quints. Honestly forgot how long this arc is. So much to look forward to!! |
 |
| YO WTF they skipped the conversation with the promise girl? Either they're gonna flashback to it sometime...or they just really don't care about adapting this story to reach the end. Granted, not like the manga ending was properly developed anyway, but it at least had moments like that conversation. I'm so confused. Yeah they didn't adapt Labor's Day Thanksgiving, but honestly i dont think that arc was actually important. But this convo was, hence everyone in the comments asking "Was that a hallucination?" |
Is Blue Box my favorite manga? Not yet...Yes. Yes it is.  |
SogiitaGunha said: Okay, let me ask who in the manga got more development than Nino??Nobara98 said: She is the girl who gets the most development in the manga among all her siblings, maybe now you hate her because you've seen eps 2 but after the Motorcycle Arc I'm sure it will change your view of Nino. I'm talking about Fuu Kun XD "Most development" Classic. Just because a character changes their behavior around another character 180°, usually around the male, it doesn't mean they got the most development. In Nino's case, man, it's especially true. She is the same character at the end of the work in everyone's eyes like she was in the beginning, the only thing she developed are obligatory feelings. Heck, I would go far and say she even regressed when it came to her dreams, aspirations, grandiose proposes regarding her life. Definitely not the character with the most development, but you can still love her nonetheless for the way she changes her attitude. No one, the closest one is Miku but obviously Nino has had the most development than Miku and the one who has the least development is Itsuki. |
| Cuteness overload! A lot of drama in this episode, but the comedy is still great. Nino is one of the few Tsunderes that I don't really like, but maybe it's because Miku exists. My life is blessed because of this show. Really that sad this is the last season... |
 |
| Ooh now the anime has gotten its dose of drama, I think the Seven Goodbyes Arc will be really fun to watch. Nino snaps as she dismiss Futaro's papers that he worked so hard for, dismaying Miku and Itsuki. And now because of Nino and Itsuki's absence, the quintuplets are pretty much fractured. Abandoning their studies and are doing their own thing to keep themselves "happy". And this is the arc that sets off Gotoubun from Nisekoi, as it actually takes itself in a dramatic route. Testing how the characters will do to fix their relationship and breaking down their overall feelings to each other. I know that this is going to be long and for a weekly anime-only watcher, it's gonna take a lot of patience. But I can tell that this will pay off really well, and I am excited to see more revelations for this arc! |

| I'm such a dumbass, i'm only now realizing after watching the OP that the girls names actually have the numbers 1-5 in them. - Ichi(1)ka - Ni(2)No - Mi(3)ku - Yotsu(4)ba - Itsu(5)ki |
