LostSpectre said: You say that like we didn't just get some yuri goodness between Shikimori and Izumi's mom at the end there. lmao Thanks, I actually closed the window once the ED started. But unless they start getting serious it's still a drop. |

Izumi has largely been very annoying for me and hard to watch, but the night sky scene was adorable. Probably the best thing he’s done in this series so far, hopefully he gets some more development. Shikimori as usual carried the rest of the ep and had some absolutely adorable moments.  |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| What a bland episode. Glad it got somehow redeemed by the post credit scene between Shikimori and Izumi’s mom. Hope it gets better next week. |
 |
| I like how Motoko had Fox Ears. That could be referanced in a multitude of ways from being a trickster to just being "aged" like a fine wine. Great episode. I liked seeing how Neko and Shikimori became friends. I enjoy the school aspect of this anime a lot. Shikimori wants a swimsuit now but Izumi was just impressed with that Chicks Abs LOL. |

thehornedrat said: What? How does Shikimori not have flaws? Anime continues going downhill quick. We just dont want the message, in this case perfect and flawless Mary Sue females, rubbed all over our faces. Even Marin has flaws ffs. Thats why we sought refuge in manga and anime, and not consuming Western sh!t. Performance reflected in the ratings...this was like top 20 beginning of the season. Looking forward to it dropping to the second page soon. She can't cook, she's insecure and gets jealous af, and despite her "cool" side, she frequently ends up getting embarrassed by her own actions. |

| Am I seeing some yuri moments or something? The night talk is very nice! |
 |
| Great episode! Was nice to see how Nekozaki and Shikimori became friends and it was SUGOKU KAWAII (NANO DESU) to see Shikimori buying the swimsuit she thought Izumi was looking at xD. Also, the after credits scene is great! Izumi's family really do have bad luck! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Somewhat boring episode, at this point Izumi's mom would be a better MC than he is. Next episode is suppose to be a beach episode so hopefully we get some Shikimori fanservice. |

  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| Shikimori doesn't back down from a good challenge but as long as Izumi is involved, he gives it his all, it's getting close to summer and they can go out and have fun. |
| I think it was a pretty good episode, everything its typical but I guess if you like romance you will like this episode. This anime is basically the prologue of a drama filled anime, where nothing really goes on lol |

| I hope this series ends with Izumi dying young in an extremely rare way, it would really fit the bad luck theme. Dropped 3/10 |

| Speaking for myself, this anime had been hit or miss for me, mostly miss. But as if this episode... yeah I kind of really liked everything. This episode alone had quite a lot to drastically improve my opinion on this (at least for now, hopefully the rest continues to be as good!!), but it was mostly because of this: Also I just now noticed the visuals for the ED, it's kinda cute |

| I like this anime but I admit its pretty one-note vanilla romance. (I still enjoy it by the way) But this episode made me think everyone kinda treats Shikimori like a Goddess. Not in the funny way like Komi-san, but it feels like everyone puts her on some kind of perfect pedestal. I'm mean I get it, she's got the skills/looks to back it up. Makes me wonder how she really feels with everyone praising her. |
| I wonder why they don't just facetime unless that's not a part of the technology of this time. |

| Really enjoyed this one, I really loved Shikimori’s reaction to Izumi looking at the swimsuit poster lol, I thought for a second she’d work out and get some killer abs but swimsuit is good too. I also really liked the backstory to Nekozaki and Shikimori’s friendship, I agree with Nekozaki, Shikimori is definitely an ideal woman lol, but I find the way Nekozaki thinks about her interesting, I really like it tho, potentially a taste of yuri action. Speaking of yuri action, the post credits bit between Shikimori and Izumi’s mom was really good, she’s out here trying to steal Shikimori from her son lmao, also nearly killed her with a knife but got a good moment out of it. The phone call was also really good, but I don’t see why they don’t just video call each other if they wanted to see each other’s faces so bad lol, it was a very sweet moment anyway tho. It is a shame to see so many people dropping or not enjoying the show, but of course I will remain enjoying it until the end! I guess that makes it an underrated show this season, at least that’s how I see it. |
| I feel Shikimori could be so much better used if there was actually some kind of... you know plot to make this interesting. As it is I'm bored. These episodes could be trimmed down to 5 min bite sized eps and be better if it is going to stay a show of blushes and nothing else. |

| The best episode so far imo. It was pretty funny and enjoyable. I hope they'll dig into character's backstories soon, I don't really find other characters interesting beside Shikimori. |
| They should just scrap the main romance and go with the yuri ship, like what they did in that last scene. Would be ten times better. |
| Yeah, Shikimori and mc's mom had more chemistry than beta Izumi |
| another great episode, especially the post-credits scene is epic !!! |
 |
| This show could genuinely benefit from fan service. We got fed a lil right before the ending. However, we can only have faith in the swimsuit now, because this show has lost it. It just feels like a compilation of shorts, as if a lesser version of Komi Can't Communicate. |
FMmatron said: I rather ship Shikimori and Nekozaki. A sprinkle of love triangle and yuri is what this bland anime needs xD Yuri improves absolutely nothing |
| Ngl, whenever I watch this, I just crave watching ToniKawa. Nasa is Yuu done well imo. Oh, and there are more intimate and funny moments in that anime. I’ll continue watching hoping for the best, but I’m disappointed for sure |
| Dang, they're really enforcing the fact that "bad luck" Izumi is here to stay, and that the others are all planning for their Summer break in a way that doesn't hold him back. But first, they have to get through their final exams...and getting some swimsuits for the occasion. This whole show isn't just Izumi and Shikimori alone, it's also getting both characterization on Shikimori's friends Hachimitsu and Nekozaki as well. Through the worries of exams, talking about the stars helps to calm their minds, and hopefully prepare to do good and enjoy their summer vacation. The post-credits of a cooking lesson with Shikimori and Izumi's mom, that was really funny. |

I haven’t gotten into Komi yet, but I’ve heard of a piece of crap annoying female character called Reina I believe. Does she have a major role, cause that would be a shame. Also, are there more romantic moments? |
| Such a great episode with Shikimori's blushiness! |
| 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. |
| Pretty good episode, all the seasonal animes getting into the summer arcs do be getting me into the mood aswell for summer, but to bad i don't really do much for summer other then stress for exams nor even go outside for the matter, i'd actually spontaneously combust. Can't help but feel like Shikimori when around Izumi is a literal glass cannon, but when around others she can become a trebuchet. Liked the backstory to how Nekozaki and Shikimori met, Nekozaki seemed pretty head over heels for Shikimori, even more so after seeing her serious side. I don't even know what that ending was, but i liked where it was going so fine by me. |
