The montage music they used for this episode imo was brilliant. Character expressions and body language sold the way the episode was done, and I'm quite impressed.

Takagi and Nishikata had their fun chemistry at school again. Takagi didn't hold back on the teasing again. And lol, Nishikata tried to prove himself physically with running. Admirable but also funny to watch.

Was it like a silent comedy, that whole first segment?? LOL definitely wasn’t expecting something like that. Also Nishikata give yourself a break sometime boy, you work too hard but atleast got himself a reward this time, watching sunset together with Takagi.

The first part of the episode especially the BGM reminded me of a classic American cartoon like Tom & Jerry. LMAO...

Another charming episode. Can't wait for the next episode!!

"I like you" -Takagi
Love it when she doesn't want Nishikata to read that book cause she didn't want him to know there was no such line. Takagi x Nishikata forever <3

The first part of "Presence" being a silent, dialogue-less comedy is so brillant, who would've thought that it'll all work out? None other than mangaka Souichirou Yamamoto, that is. This is truly visual storytelling at its best: a picture (or in this case, a segment) speaks a thousand words. Even the side girls of Ashita wa Doyoubi got into the fun of Yukari stalking Mina, until of course, Mina discovers her. Sanae works though.

The desk check, Takagi must've had fun scaring Nishikata posing as teacher and student, back and forth. Takagi always had fun on trying to scare off Nishikata each and every single time.

Both Takagi and Nishikata are on libary duty, and since they have to spend lunch hour being in the library, what better way than to read some books to recommend to each other to spend the time away. I'd thought that she's trying to confess to Nishikata by reading it out loud, but it's the usual prank, so keep your expectations in check. But Takagi INDEED low-key confess to Nishikata, that was hella smooth.

Going to watch the sunset, and Nishikata, you're trying your best to impress Takagi by capturing the sunset before she does for impressions. Such a sweet moment of watching the sunset together, like a honeymoon.

Ah, sweet moments.

The silent film approach for the first part wasn't funny at all imo but it was different at least from the repetitive style that this series normally goes for with humor, so I'll give my props for that. I feel like for that kind of approach to work, the humor in general should feel more exaggerated and out there like anything from Charlie Chaplin, especially with something more satirical imo. It didn't click with me in this kind of series and setting. Bonus points for the attempt at least. The meeting while watching the sunset was alright.

That was surprising to get no dialogue during that much time, but I love how it was synced with the BGM xD Though that library scene... Takagi basically confessed to him seriously. I'm not surprised by seeing Nishikata doing that much sport and training of course, but it's even better when Takagi is here

Interesting choice to use a third of this episode on a "silent film" segment. I respect the idea, but like the excessive dream sequences last week it feels like this season is perhaps trying to reinvent the wheel a little too much when this show really doesn't need to. By comparison, the rest of the episode was much more in line with this show's norm and was very enjoyable, not least because of how much more daring Takagi is becoming now.

Very good episode.
Very funny the first sequence, The bookstore thing too (IN PART TAKAGI SAID IT!!!) and the beach thing was very nice.
The 2nd ending (I thought it was still going to come out in the 3rd episode xd) was good.

When Takagi said "I love you" to Nishikata, I instantly paused the episode, dropped the series and rated it 10/10. After about 3 minutes of screaming in bed, I get back, undropped it, and said to myself..."this is the shit that an elementary student can do to me in anime...WTF".

Anyways I love that scene, but not just that, pretty much all of the scenes in this episode. The first 8 minutes reminded me so much of Tom and Jerry (the classic 1940s one). That series didn't need a dialogue to be funny and entertaining, and for the first part of this episode, I was amazed by how it held up to me. And when Mina finally muttered a word, I was so disappointed because I want the silence and the bgm to keep going. Sad that the experiment didn't last but it was such a nice one.

Then the last part, aww what a banger. This series was gone for years, but somehow it just keeps getting better. Takagi and Nishikata are really meant for each other, and if our boy somehow snapped and realizes our girl's affection, then we might have a really REALLY great one folks.

I find super funny how Takagi tricks Nishikata into making exercise, she is building her perfect boyfriend haha, man they are showing episodes with Takagi being bolder and Nishikata slowly not just getting the hints but also starting to understand his own feelings.

Ahh! Didn't realise a week has passed already o.o
The first part kind of reminded me of Tom and Jerry with the musical thing haha. I enjoyed this segment more than I should. It almost felt dragged out but nah they stopped at the right time.
Takagi-san is still teasing Nishikata but she's being way more bold this season. And it's really cute how Nishikata-kun starts doubting if those words are actually Takagi's true feelings or she is teasing him again :p
Really wholesome and funny episode. Takagi-san has been able to push Nishikata-kun to exercise which is pretty funny but my man has to understand what Takagi is hinting at ;). She literally confessed to him but tried to cover it and it worked ^

Oh and is that a new ending? Each episode will have a different ending? I'm not complaining but this ed was really good!

That first segment of the episode was gold I'm sure the band had fun playing that arrangement and it was an unusual change of pace without the need of dialogue I guess Takagi's stalking was worth it at the end

What even is a desk check and who cares if you bring something you can just hide it in your bag, but needless to say Nishikata is busted for nothing by Takagi sensei, As always Nishikata got baited yet again

Is this the thing where he pushed his limits and got rewarded at the end even if Takagi didn't follow Nishikata that view sure is a reward I would jog to every day.

As a manga reader i think the author aimed more towards cuteness for the first segment, which i thought the anime adapted splendidly

Great episode, the entire first segment with no voice acting and only music and visual gags was amazing and very reminiscent of Tom & Jerry, a childhood show of mine and many others, idk if that’s what they were going for but it definitely hit those notes. The library part was great too, Nishikata yelling “DINOSAURS” was very funny, and we got a causal “I Love You” from Takagi, she’s too powerful this season lol. The last bit where Nishikata ran to the beach was very good too, great way to end the episode.

And the ED this episode was great, didn’t expect it to change so soon since it’s usually every other episode, very nice still.

Another great episode. They tried something new with the "presence" part of the episode, even without dialogues it was not difficult to understand what was happening.

I gotta say the OP is sooo good, both its music and visuals. 10/10 OP.

Holy shit, this was totally unexpected, I never imagined I would hear this from our boy Nishikata.


Takagi very smooth. I have no idea how she says all this stuff with a straight face.


I love to see that Takagi actually really cares about Nishikata and teasing is just her way of showing her affection for him coz our neutron star boi Nishikata is too dense otherwise, can't really blame him, they are just in middle school now, some guys are just as much dense in high school too. Takagi following Nishikata to the beach and handing him a bottle of water was just so cute, loved that scene.

It's really amazing that Takagi managed to say "Skidayo" and "I got to see sunset with you", she really meant all that but sadly Nishikata wasn't able to pick up on that, Takagi is just too subtle. It's just been 2 episodes in this season and they are going pretty strong romance wise, should we expect Nishikata to finally pick up on Takagi's hints in this season?

Pretty great episode overall, thorougly enjoyed it and was again smiling for most of the duration of the episode. No better way to start my Saturday than watching this right after waking up.

5/5 episode. Overall 10/10.

If no one would have spoken then I was quite certain that I was going to skip this episode, the first part reminded me of Tom and Jerry which I absolutely hated as a kid. Really glad that the second half was back to the usual stuff.

One-third of this episode was dedicated to an experimental "silent comedy" style which felt very reminiscent of the classic Tom & Jerry cartoons way back in the day and, coming from who grew up watching Tom & Jerry, this was really well done. It was cutesy and amusing seeing Takagi and Nishikata doing their thing without a single line of dialogue and only the impressive background music to accompany the scenes.

The library segment was short and cute, too, where Nishikata didn't hold back with his love of dinosaurs. The big talking point of the segment was Takagi dropping the mother of all love confessions to Nishikata, which made me pause the video, do a 360 degree spin on my chair while cheering, before resuming the episode where she tricked Nishikata into thinking it was a line from the book she was reading. X3

Lastly, the sunset scene with the two of them was relaxing and sweet. Takagi certainly made Nishikata blush super easily wile they talked as they admired the beautiful view on the beach. I really want more of these cute interactions between the two of them this season. =)
