| LOL, this show loves rap and they didn't shy from showing it off again. Chika looked like she was born for her role. This was like the ultimate rap episode. Even Shirogane went full rap with Chika. More Maki also featured this episode and she's grown to me as a very entertaining character this season. Bring on more! |
 |
| Les go they’re adapting the rap battle Part 1! Another series of Mama Chika is about to save the day for the one and only Shirogane! One thing I've learned about rap is that it's only for intellectuals and oh god, even Chika is dead after hearing him doing the rap. The rap scene is pretty good, Chika is too cute and it was hilarious that Shirogane told Chika to teach him how to rap while Chika just nailed it I’m weak, she really said Motherf***kerrrrrrr xD. PART 2 IS EVEN AMAZING, EVERYONE’S PART WAS SO GOOD, from Shirogane and Chika’s teamwork, not gonna lie the display felt like some rap music video in 2009. Kaguya’s part is lil exaggerated at first but then she’s able to get on the beat, also her singing in the 2nd half gave such an eerie vibe lmao and Hayasaka’s part is also interesting, ad then again the direction in PART 2 of the rap battle is amazing to display something unusual but was able to execute it in an interesting aesthetic, not gonna lie they pretty much nail this scene. Heh, Shirogane and Ishigami saw Maki crying on the floor. Maki’s presence gave me a lil worry about her third-wheeling Nagisa and Tsubasa :/ but it’s just a side thing in the overall series. “Romance is a Battle of Speed, If you fall for them, you have to confess as soon as possible” - Ishigami “Waiting for the other person to confess is no different than running away, it’s important to have the courage to throw away your pride” - Shirogane I have no clue which advice based on their experience to choose from, Ishigami or Shirogane? ALSO THAT NEW ED????? Probably dedicated for this episode |

| People learn from mistakes but it seems like Chika just doesn’t, and round three of her teaching Shirogane something was everything well within the expectations. Though even Hayasaka joining the bandwagon… one can already imagine the chaos it brings in the house. Anyways they really went above and beyond with this rap segment even in the ED, nothing less than a chef’s kiss. Also someone just get Maki a boyfriend at this point, please. Not a good sight to see one of the best girls suffering. |

It was animated by 18 year old animator “vercreek.” He solo did storyboard , direction and key animation for the ending song . The whole episode was a sublime product for me . The rap song really made by day . |

| Lol at Fujiwara, she should have learned from her prior experiences. The rap segment was really good thou, the seiyuus went beyond with their performances. Poor Maki, she's the epitome of suffering. She's really adorable thou, specially with her twintails and the fang and also her behaviour. I hope she gets someone who'll cherish her. Wasn't expecting there to be a Bohemian Rhapsody reference but that was well done. |

| Paripi Miyuki! The special ED of this episode, My Nonfiction, should be the ED of the whole season. It was a really good one. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| That ED slaps hard as hell wtf |

| Everyone rap in this episode, even Hayasaka. I was overwhelmingly entertained and happy. We also got some more developments. Another ED wtf. A-1 is wild. |
| This is why kaguya-sama is peak rom-com, this chapter was really good, the rap part was insanely well, and hayasaka obvously best girl or boy in this case i guess, and maki really is innocent as kaguya with the "sek" part, and that ED, omg it slaps so hard |
 |
| This episode was full of craziness. Chika and Shirogane rapping. In the end, even Kaguya and Hayasaka started rapping. It was so funny but seemed deep at the same time. I hope Hayasaka was able to convey her true feelings to Kaguya. New ED! |
| Lol the first part where miyuki was rapping and chika “dies” after hearing it haha. To see Maki back how crazy she is always is. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Two rap battles in two consecutive days, that was intense!! New ED is cool, Shirogane sure has learned some skills |
| Loved the volume warning we got before we heard Shirogane's rap. So weird that Shirogane taught Chika rap just so that she could teach him. Kaguya's singing was really good but Hayasaka's; I felt it. She wants to live a normal life as well. The new ED "My Nonfiction" is definitely a Jojo reference. Such a XXXing great episode. 5/5 |
 |
| Chika is a savage, especially when she unlocked brutally honest rap mode xD The whole part was pretty funny thanks to her. I only noticed now that Maki has a moe fang. Anyway, that ED was something else. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Yo! What a banger episode! This season is turning out to be absolutely amazing |
 |
| The Maki segment in the final third stuck out like a sore thumb and wasn't that great, but the rest of the episode in the Rap arc was good, and the ending was great here, looked fantastic in particular and really the whole rap portion was well-directed in this episode (including the ending too with how that was animated so well). It was nice seeing a switchup with the Miyuki-Chika segments with not only having Miyuki train Chika to train him, but then having the actual rap segments involve Hayasaka and Kaguya like that to help Hayasaka out was cool too. It wasn't close to being as fun as the Kongming rap episode which was just awesome from start to finish, especially with the back and forth throughout the majority of the episode and with the flows, but this one was a decent enough counterpart to it. It was a good episode overall with a final third that belonged in a different episode from this to be honest, to prevent it from being close to a great one. Although to be honest, while the rap segments were nice here, they weren't again offering the best that the series has offered up to this point. This whole season to be honest has definitely had the weakest first half among the three so far, something about the series feels a bit hollow currently that hopefully the second half should make up for. |
| One of the best and entertaining episodes 11/10 ^-^ It felt like a really long episode filled with comedy :D |
| Rap arc episode. Its great to see the rap being so over the top but it retains its sick beats. The amount of rapping this episode is amazing even references about it are smoothly animated. Shirogane and Chika dropping bars is dope and Kaguya surprisingly is good too. The animation and direction is upped this episode its one of the highlights of anime. And not that only one they dropped another special ED with Shirogane and Chika rapping and its great song it rhymes and the animation is unique. Overall great episode and my favorite so far this season 3 |
 |
| I've been waiting for ages to hear the Prez rap. I was not disappointed. Chika and Hayasaka shined too. Their seeiyu's are nailing this. Overall this episode was great. And that surprising ED was a clincher |

| Third time I've heard rap in an anime episode this season, and this one did not disappoint either. The funny thing was that during the episode, I was wondering if there might be a more musical ed this episode since there was so much music today, and SURE ENOUGH, THERE WAS A NEW ED! Another great episode. |
| They really just put a headphone warning before Miyuki started rapping💀 |
| that bohemian rhapsody reference tho lol. |
| Damm Hayasaka seeing the prez rap will be akin to a nightmare. Its funny that his main reason for wanting to improve it was because of that incident. But man that rapping really is something. Hmm to think that Hayasaka would end up telling the prez about her true role. But it really served to make their foray to the park that much more interesting. The switch to Hayasaka's POV during the rap was a nice move. Kaguya's response though was surprisingly fun. But it was Hayasaka's display of her true feelings that she told through her song that was the most entertaining. Feels like Maki's being affected more and more with Nagisa's relationship. Still the meeting proved to be a rare one where three people of similar predicaments were able meet. Have to say its amusing just how much Kaguya overreacts when the prez gets another girl friend. The new ending theme sure was a unique one with Chika and Miyuki's rapping. |

| As if last week's Aharen and Thursday's Paripi Koumei aren't done with the rapping, Kaguya-sama is back with Chika's rap lols. This is truly a rap week. Shirogane can't sing (as proven by Hayasaka), so WHY THE HELL does he wanna do rapping now...at least Chika is wiling to help him out. The "volume warning" warning was SUPERBLY apt lols, and Chika definitely felt like her singing lesson to Shirogane in Season 2 didn't even wince a rhythm of improvement, so the tables have turned on Shirogane giving Chika a round of training, but the same can't be said if you UNO reverse the roles. MotherXXXker!!! Chika is done, the next is Hayasaka Herthaka for Shirogane to get back at her for the karaoke singing humiliation. And how the XXXing way that he dramatically improved from the singing session to resonate with her...the same way as a sea slug. it's truly MC Shirogane in the house, and seeing Kaguya sing-rapping being Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" reference to Hayasaka's diss tracking. Maki is back at it again with the couple issues brought on by Nagisa and her boyfriend Tsubasa Kashiwagi, and there's none other than Ishigami who wants to instigate this further while Shirogane plays meditator in Maki's fiery love triangle, not to mention both guys' own as well with their crushes. 3 people sharing the same pain, it really doesn't feel too bad after all. Dammit, this episode is superbly well done, not to mention entertaining. Special episodic ED, and it's lit. |

| Man loved this episode. Hayasaka so cute! |
  Must love Moe! Darkness prevails!! Slice of Life is all we need! |
| AotY 2022 baby! animejas said: What a stupid comment. But I don't really expect intelligence from MAL users so it is really not that big of a surprise.The Maki segment in the final third stuck out like a sore thumb and wasn't that great, but the rest of the episode in the Rap arc was good, and the ending was great here, looked fantastic in particular and really the whole rap portion was well-directed in this episode (including the ending too with how that was animated so well).

Although to be honest, while the rap segments were nice here, they weren't again offering the best that the series has offered up to this point. This whole season to be honest has definitely had the weakest first half among the three so far, something about the series feels a bit hollow currently that hopefully the second half should make up for. Comparing Kongming to Kaguya-sama's rap segment is like comparing an ecchi anime's beach volleyball episode with Haikyuu. |

| The amount of effort that is being put in this show is outstanding and S3 is so far absolutely bonkers. Top work from all the teams involved. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Damn what an ep!! this is without doubt one of the best episode I love Chika so much |
| Fun Things Are Fun - Yui Hirasawa |
| How does this show manage to get better and better every single episode? who would’ve thought the best rap anime episode of the week would’ve been this? Paripi Koumei collab when?? Was so nice to get a glimpse into how Hayasaka really feels too. She has put her whole life aside to help Kaguya and really doesn’t get those traditional teenage experiences. I hope she does soon since she’s best girl. Maki with another great appearance too, quickly working her way up the best girl list for me in this series. Knows how to perfectly utilise her screen time lol. |
