| An episode mostly dedicated to Hayasaka definitely doesn’t disappoint. ED got me feeling nostalgic. |
 |
| Shirogane was just all-around oblivious in this episode lmao. I don't know how he thought that Lino and Ishigami were getting along when they said that they liked each other. That was the most forced thing I have ever heard. Clever tactic by Osaragi tho. The second part was the karaoke part. I remember laughing so hard when I read it in the manga, but I didn't get the same feeling while watching it. I guess I knew what was going to happen so the shock factor wasn't there I don't know. |
  Arteta's Tricky Reds!   |
| That Starship Troopers ED montage was some of the most glorious animation I've ever seen. Loved it! Hayasaka supremacy! I was so looking forward to seeing this animated and I was not disappointed. Her seeiyu knocked it out of the park too. |

| Yeah, probably going to be THE ending sequence of the entire year |

That was such a fun episode |
 |
| And this is what sets Kaguya-sama apart from many romcoms: The somber parts where we delve into the characters in a more serious way. Hayasaka is such an amazing character, and this episode gave her a big spotlight. Excellently done. |
| The Friendship and Mixer/Karaoke chapters are pretty good, these two chapters are ones I vividly remember after finishing Season 2 and subsequently reading the manga. And seeing them adapted makes me feel that the rest of the chapters allocated to this season will be improved and adapted properly in more ways than one! Miko and Ishigami trying to even stay at each other's throats is so funny, it's unreal how they storyboarded these scenes where I can't even believe that some cuts are even seen in the manga. But that karaoke scene is the one that gave me the most fun. Hayasaka!!! yes she is the MVP of this episode, and for most of the time that she's on the screen, it's basically Attack on Kaguya-sama and Shirogane. Some of the lines she says are downright savage, and for a moment she does not give a fuck to her master. Cherry on top though is when Kaguya misunderstood the things she heard in the room, and I just cackled. Finally, when Chika arrived and she heard that Shirogane's singing is trash, yeah those flashbacks are still haunting her. But don't worry, he will come back for another training arc, I can't wait to hear some dondayo rapping again next episode. Now I want to talk about the ED...it's great. I can't tell what series they're inspired of (maybe Platinum End), but I can appreciate that the theme from S1's ED is back!!! The animation is unreal and Hayasaka looks great plus Kaguya because she's an angel. Lastly, Kaguya waking up Shirogane and smiling to him---no to us, that was very sweet (would like to take a screenshot on her smile). I really enjoyed this episode, you can tell with this wall of text that I typed and sent to---- |

| damn, what an banger. can't wait for the next one. the OP is also so good. |
 Maybe watching, maybe reading, probably living |

| Hayasaka and Shirogane episodes are always goat. Loved the karaoke bit as well as Kaguya's reactions |
| Another great episode with the best girl I LOVE YOU HAYASAKA AI |

| Great episode! The Ishigami-Iino friendship plan xD. Seems Iino can't find any good traits to compliment about him though lol. The ear cleaning positions were...unusual... Seems the 'you are actually in love with each other if you are mean to each other' plan from Osorogi worked xD. Hayasaka's karaoke was amazing to witness! Hayasaka went along with the seduce Shirogane plan again but... SHE FAILED?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??! AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?! Seems his rapping was horrible lol. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Iino sounded like Glados in the end. |
| Imagine normies saying: "Peaky Blinders is mid and overhyped. Just another typical crime drama show. Breaking Bad is much better lol.". |
| i was dying the entire episode!! glad to see some of my favourite parts getting animated, bring on more! |
| Damn the ED is amazing! Madlads made a whole movie for visuals lol. I don't usually ship but Ishigami and Iino are so cute, I love their dynamic lol Hayasaka/Shirogane ep was great! |
 |
| Not since I watched Audition have I ever found it hard to keep up with subs and needed to pause, But this show is well worth it. No one won any battles this eps but love the character development. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| The Ishigami-Iino friendship plan seemed to be not working, but when Osaragi pointed out that their feelings was somewhat mutual to a point where they make a good couple, it broke Ishigami and Iino mentally. The Karaoke segment turned out to be another misunderstanding as Hayasaka was monitoring Shirogane going to karaoke with his friends giving her a lot of screen time. Hayasaka was traumatized by Shirogane's singing that even Chika turned away after Kaguya invited him. I wasn't expecting the ED to be dedicated to Starship Troopers. |
 |
| One of my favorite manga chapters of best girl adapted in spectacular fashion? Hell freakin yes! |
Is Blue Box my favorite manga? Not yet...Yes. Yes it is.  |
| I like Hayasaka the most, shes great at acting AND to top it off, good at singing as well? I really hope there will be more screen time for her. But the first part with Ishigami, I didn't like the reasoning for the fight, it wasn't as in depth. |

| I really like getting more screen time of the best girl Hayasaka! ProofByColor said: Feel like I am forgetting the extent of Shirogane and Hayasaka's relationship. How much does he know of her relationship with Kaguya? What was the deal with her persona that Shirogone just went along with so naturally? Definitely forgetting something here. Shirogane knows two different people: Hayasaka (his schoolmate) and "Haasaka" (Kaguya's maid). Here she is acting as the latter, who previously tried make him fell in love with her because of a bet with -or rather provocation from- Kaguya. |

Nothing important. Keep scrolling. |
joexmdq said: Shirogane knows two different people: Hayasaka (his schoolmate) and "Haasaka" (Kaguya's maid). Here she is acting as the latter. Exactly. It's actually fairly important to keep in mind that Shirogane does not know that Hayasaka@school is Herthaka@Kaguya's Maid. |
| That ED was simultaneously batshit insane and beautifully heartwarming; the perfect encapsulation of Kaguya-sama. |
| Hayasaka and Chika are both victims of Shirogane’s singing and the ending theme was really good |
 |
| Iino and Ishigami at it again. But they love to do stuff for each other behind their backs. So cute. Loved the second-half's focus on Hayasaka. Gonna be important later on. Also, Chika's screwed. |
 |
| Lovely homage to Paul Verhoven's Starship Troopers in the ED, I am a big fan of the film and thought that was hilarious and well-done. |

kizumi91 said: anyone here know the song that Hayasaka sang? The song that Hayasaka was singing was a copyright dodging version of Kana Nishino's 西野カナ song Aitakute Aitakute 会いたくて会いたくて. (much like how they do the same thing for all the Madonna, Queen, and Dead or Alive OST references). Which they reduxed it to be called: Watashi no Kimochi (My Feelings) わたしのきもち. by Idono Naka. 井戸野ナカ. loool |

 W... What's this? Is Kaguya open to the idea of being NTR'd? I wouldn't have been mad with Hayasaka if she did do something, best girl |
|
| The ED of this season is a sequel to the ED of the first season and I love it. |
| Girls in my class start to cry if I even make eye contact with them - Ishigami Yuu |
| OP = 6.5/10 ED = 10/10 I really wondered why the OP isn't that good anymore but the ED's are damn good as always. I love this episode! P.S. Just marry each other already you two!!! |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Some of Hayasaka's best, adapted this episode! |
| Another great episode with more Hayasaka. She's one of my favorites in the show so following her is entertaining. That ed was unexpected lol. |
| Oh they did adapt karaoke chapters, well done. And what a surprising ED, really love it. |
| Better then last week's lackluster episode that's for sure. First part of the episode was more or less the generic back and forth we've seen a hundred times before. But at least I got a chuckle out of the ear cleaning position they were in. The second hand was much better. The President has had the best facial expressions so far. I think the reason the first half of the episode looked visually mediocre was so the second half looked better. I had actually forgotten that Hayaska has this character she plays when she's with Shirogane. She was fun and devilishly clever this week. Still waiting on any kind of development between Kaguya and Shirogane though. |
| Solid episode was laughing the entire time. The fact Haisaka called Kaguya her little annoying sister is so funny. |
| Oh, so here is where the forced Ishigami x Iino pairing began, huh? 4/5 episode. I liked the first part with Ishigami and Iino trying to get along (and failing miserably) but since I was never a fan of Hayasaka's character, having two segments dedicated to her was kinda meh to me. She has an amazing voice tho, can't deny that. And on a side note, ED caught me so off guard lmao. Freaking "Starship Troopers" homage out of nowhere xD |
