Boring. They do absolutely nothing in this game and just sit around.

Am I supposed to care about this Karuizawa girl? Because I don't, and I can't, why is there so much focus on her suddenly? (rhetoric)

Fucking Kushida, I hoped that Ayanokoji would uppercut her and throw her off the boat. Better luck next time

Better pacing than episode 1 but the animation just looks super weird at times, specially the faces.
But looking at it now I can see that the episode was outsourced to another studio

Kinda weird that they put Kei's monologue now instead of the shower scene from ep 1 where it was supposed to be.

This episode is better than the last one. I'm glad they didn't cut/change major scenes. At first, I thought they cut some important scnes, but at the end of the episode I realized it was just my bad memory (I read the the volume of quite a long time ago).

Ayanokouji is the type of guy to see a traumatized girl and say "heeeeeeh".
Anyway, the animation is garabe. Straight up as bad as the first season. Everything feels so fucking awkward and clunky. Of course, they just put voice mail music over the discussions. Even with how shit s1 was, it's miles better than the first 2 episodes of s2.
Only the opening and ending are good.

kiyotaka sounds like hes got a plan in hand when he saw her being bullied.

kiyotaka thinks of his allies as chess pieces and know how to use them to his advantage.

Wonder where the preview is and just thinking about the discussion which seems like a time skip .

Not really, when there will be a episode of explaining how the game ended and maybe kiyotaka team/himself has the upper hand

Imagine being so unhinged you react this strongly to your friend being bumped into once.

I wish they'd made it so Karuizawa had done something worse to this girl. As it is right now, it's just incredibly silly that this girl's friends are going this far over a bump, or that Karuizawa would refuse to just go "sorry for bumping into you that one time" and squashing it, if she really is this distressed.

The animation has been horrendous to be honest 😂

It seems that with the planets, Koenji and the C class it's still the same, so I'm a little relieved

So it's revealed Karuizawa's trauma, now we know the whole truth 0.0

Let's see what Ayanokouji has in mind
The anime makes Ayanokouji so "._."
That "huh" in the end was so funny asdfa

Ok episode, I guess. If Ayanokouji or Machida aren't doing anything to help her, I hope they're AT LEAST taking videos or something... even a picture should be enough to use as evidence.

Build up episode for the climax of volume 4. Its just continuing the special test. And the team of Koenji just have a early exit, because he guess the VIP. Eccentruc as ever. Horikita is pissed about it, Ayanokouji being not surprised about it. Ryuuen planning smth to clear the test and defeating class A.

Hirata and Kei are not a real couple, they just act as one. Because of Kei and it revealed that she was bullied in the past. The episode ends Kei getting bullied by the girls of class C

Quite a number of off-models today; hopefully this will be the case just for this episode alone. However the modelling of the oasis-class royal caribbean cruise ship seems to be pretty darn accurate.

Would someone mind quickly explaining this "test" to me; all the rules and such went over my head in the first episode, which I'm too lazy to re-watch. It's hard to get invested when you don't know exactly what's going on.

All I remember is that they've been split up into groups, each one having its own VIP which is unknown to all. All groups are essentially competing with each other to name their own VIP first, and the winning group gets a massive amount of points that will be shared evenly. However the VIP in each group has an incentive not to get found out because they will get a larger amount of points for themselves if they remain uncaught. And naming a person who is NOT the VIP will incur harsh penalties. Pretty much among us I guess

If I missed any other important points or if I did not interpret it correctly at all let me know, otherwise if I pretty much covered everything important just disregard my request I guess lol. Like I just want to know how it all works so I can understand everyone's actions better, like that one dude (sorry I really don't remember anyone's names) asking Horishikita to get their groups to "team up". Like are we supposed to understand their motivations right now, or are those to be revealed later? Because I ended up just feeling lost tbh

Sorry if the answers are obvious and I'm being dum, I just don't feel like re-watching these episodes

Basically, there are multiple groups, they need to find the VIP on their own group.

Test end results:

1. Share the identity of the VIP and clear the exam together as one. (+500k private points to each member, 1M private points to VIP)

2. Answer incorrectly and the group loses but the VIP still receives points. (+500k private points to VIP)

3. A traitor uncovers the identity of the VIP. (+500k private points and +50 class points to traitor, 50 class points deducted to VIP)

4. A traitor incorrectly uncovers the identity of the VIP. (-500k private points and -50 class points to traitor, 50 class points added to VIP)

The dude who asked Horikita is Ryuen. Both of them belong in the same group. That's why he asked whether if Horikita had any leads in the VIP of their group. He also offered to have an alliance with Class D since knowing the VIP of each class would help understand how the VIP are chosen per planet group.

He also offered to have an alliance with Class D since knowing the VIP of each class would help understand how the VIP are chosen per planet group.

Ah, now it makes sense. I thought only "private points" were in play, I completely glossed over the fact that there are "class points". I was wondering why everyone just goes for end result #1, where everyone the whole group gets points and everybody wins. But since the groups have members from each class in them (right?), they will pretty much be working against each other to benefit their own class.

So the VIP has the incentive to remain hidden in hopes that a traitor will incorrectly guess who they are which will give 50 points to said VIP's class, and vice versa the traitors have the incentive to successfully identify the VIP to get those 50 class points as well as the 500k private points for themselves, and at the same time bringing down the class points of the VIP, who tried to remain hidden.

But I guess scenario #1 is still an appealing choice for many who simply want private points, so that would make things interesting as well. And if I remember correctly, the VIP has some sort of device or app on their phone or whatever that reveals their identity to the whole group and thus notifying those overseeing it that they have chosen to go with option #1, so that other members can't cheat and claim that they had discovered the VIP themselves to get to scenario #3.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it a lot!

So the special exam continues in this episode. The Mars group is still at a stalemate due to the class A students not wanting to cooperate and things start to look interesting for the Jupiter group with the reveal that Kushida (the most trustworthy girl in this show obviously) is the VIP. And then there's just Kouenji who Kouenji'd his way into the exam as always.

Aside from that, the main highlight of this episode is Kei with the reveal of her fake relationship with Yousuke and that she was the victim of severe bullying for years. The episode ends with her being bullied by Manabe and her friends while the scene is being witnessed by Yukimura and Kiyotaka.

Now for the elephant in the room, there is a clear problem with the animation in this episode due to outsourcing and I really hope that the following episodes will receive better treatment. I saw that several people were saying that the animation was not that bad, but come on barely any face has correct proportions, so if that's not bad animation I don't know what is.

All in all I think this episode did a good job adapting important scenes and I find it really enjoyable to finally see those scenes in animation. In my opinion, this episode is a 4/5, but that's mainly because I'm a LN reader so I know the full picture of what's going on in this arc.

If my guess is correct the next episode is likely to conclude Volume 4 of the LN, but if it does it will be a pretty stacked episode so I'm a little worried about pacing (and also about the state of Twitter when the 'SYL' scene gets animated).

POP OFF HIRATA


Albert going behind the counter, preparing a drink for Ryuen, looking badass
also: drinks soda water
(yes I know they're not allowed to have alcohol but it looks silly)


Hirata: She's been a victim of bullying for 9 years
Kiyo's face: :(


To me, the character's faces look... off. Can't really point out the exact problem with it, but their expression looks less sharp to be and their eyes don't seem to have as much detail, both as compared to Season 1. Could just be this episode though, since I didn't have the same feeling as when watching Episode 1 of this season

Well development in this episode was only limited, Mars are still stuck in a stalemate, but hey Saturn got theirs finished (oof), Ryuen is still intimidating Suzune whenever he can, and Ayanokoji is on spectator mode but not for long.

Whatever is brewing under the surface remains to be seen, but the things that are happening to Kei has something to unleash that magma. For now, Kiyotaka now knows the hidden face that Kei possess, and with Hirata finally being dumped, it seems our boy can possibly be the next armor that Karuizawa needs.

The major reveal was the fake boyfriend, but we also got some of Kei's past(the bullying she suffered on the past) and her monologue, which makes us understand her reasons to act the way she does. Also, now we know that Hirata has a reason to protect Kei, it has something to do with his past, which will be revealed in the future. The anime is doing a great job with the cliffhangers just like the previous season.
