| Ah, so even this show has its maid cafes and festival. Plenty of fun and they got a lot of people to participate in this. Speaking of which, I'm starting to like Serina's character more and more. Uka also had her adorable maid outfit on so this was definitely a special occasion for her. |
 |
| Uka working hard for the school festival and standing out because of Kai. It seems to be hitting her hard tho hopefully things will be alright for her. |
| Uka has done what all kids who struggle to fit in want to do, made herself valuable to the popular kids. People are staring to look up to her and see her as a leader in the class. So cool she got to come up with the festival plans! Generally speaking, I see a ton of growth from her even down to how she talks now. She uses more slang and is more free flowing in her dialogue, even being sort of witty with Miura. She’s really coming out of her shell and I love that! That bike crash scene is killing me man she so 🐶 💔 really love her to bits Omg omg omg make Uka is sooo pretty. Once she gets that confidence going she gonna be a problem, watching out Serina 😂 love she and Miura’s little nap/timeout scenes, but I’m also really happy she’s determined to take an active role in she and Miura conversations rather than just being passive and letting Miura initiate convos I’m so tired of these jealous hoes in this series talking shit about Uka behind her back and trying to dirty mac her with Kai. Like do they really think any dude would want a girl who just sits around saying nasty shit about other people all day? Get a job you losers. Sexual harassment live on stage is certainly a choice. That announcer was creepy af. This was also a big moment for Uka because she’s learning to go with the vibe, but she has to learn that not EVERY vibe should be followed. Good episode, some more big growth from Uka, I’m so proud of her like an older brother. |

| Those darn pesky adults making all those rules in MY anime !? xD Ishimori really did step out of her comfort zone didn't she, that is if she even had one to begin with, props to her for sticking with it to the end, and also props to the classmates to going on with it and supporting her along the way, i mean it's all of theirs class project after all, but still. The caretaker-kun did a good job too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| It's sad how Uka attracts a fresh batch of bullies every week, and it's probably going to get worse now that Kai's practically painted a target on her back with both of his stunts. Adorable how she decided to make his secret hideout spot hers too though. |
| Uka Looked so adorable in her maid uniform. She worked so hard to make the class cafe a success with everyone working together. |
| Whats with all the planes? I counted 4 separate planes, I guess they really liked that sound effect. Anyway pretty chill episode. |

| Didn't this episode feel kinda all over the place and the animation was also sloppy. |

| There was barely any real animation but I liked all the goofy expressions this episode had. Boring regular MC: has personal growth Chad Uka: changes people around her and improves them |
| Loved the episode. Loved Kai at Crazy Cool saying "leave Ishimori to me", in front of everyone, burst outta laughter. Hated that last scene, with everyone bullying her till she cried. Loved that Kai came to the rescue though, hoped he would've called them on their BS, but he kinda does that everytime so, i can understand him being quiet after being told by Uka that she'd be fine on her own, although i know she's kinda saying that to try to not be a burden on Kai. She's just so adorable. Loved that Kai actually took back what he said about not being romantically interested in Uka, excited to see how their relationship would turn out to be! |

| She's fired up and in "Yes to all" mode. I think not even Kai would keep up. At this rate, they'll marry for sure. Also, what is it with anime and planes? Though, it was a good one, the Airbus A350. |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| This episode Story progresses and gets better Characters develop, Animation get yet worse. |

| The animation style that this episode went for was a bit unexpected. The creative frames were pretty nice, although the lack of movement in those scenes compared to previous episodes did feel unusual. Maybe a episode director's choice or a lower priority episode, maybe? Either way, I did enjoy seeing more people helping out Uka after seeing how dedicated she was in the preparation for the school festival. Her classmates are starting to see her in a better light and made sure to help her out when needed. Sadly, that doesn't mean the bullying is going to go away as she was ganged up and intimidated by a group of jealous brats after hearing Miura saying that he was in charge of her in the "Fool & Cool" video. Miura didn't waste his time in coming to Uka's side to help her out when needed, including stopping the live stage announcer from leering at her while she was wearing her class's cafe maid outfit. Her progression, while dealing with the odd setback or two, is heading in the right direction. |
| It was nice to see how Uka's classmates supported her as she stepped out of her comfort zone and started to see her as a leader, yes they are a good class. This episode had some cool references (Dragon Ball, Ashita no Joe and Lum from Urusei Yatsura). It seems like in every episode, Uka will always face jealousy from idiots because of her closeness to Kai. Luckily, Kai knows how to handle it. And Kai's role as Uka's caretaker is just a front: telling others to stay away from her or interrupting on stage is no doubt because he wants her for himself. |
 |
| The pacing in this episode felt lightning fast. Paired with the numerous experimental shot compositions, this was kind of an awkward, rushed feeling episode. I hope this was just a one off because none of the other ones feel this weird of a watch. |
| another great ep she is going more but certainly too much and he decided to be there forever for her, hummm |

| @HikarieChan agreeeeed so many shortcuts in this episode and sooo rushed!! the impact of the final moment didn't hit as hard for me because of it. for the comedic bits, some of the shortcuts totally worked but for the emotional bits it was a big let down. hopefully the quality doesn't stay like this. |

| Probably one of the most alive school festivals I’ve seen in an anime, I loved getting to see everyone in the class interacting with the planning and prep, along with bits of the rest of the school scurrying about, I especially liked the short moments with the courtyard folks, funny stuff there, also I believe that may have been an Urusei Yatsura reference during one scene, if so very cool. But unfortunately no matter how stupid fun this school festival is, and how perfect it was going for Uka, of course things couldn’t stay that way after Kai’s words on that “Crazy Cool” thing, what he said was sweet but it garnered the wrong reaction from bad actors. Thankfully tho, Kai showed these hoes up when he walked out of that storage room hand in hand with Uka, that’s how you make a statement to these people lol. Also Uka had some great moments in this one, the bicycle crash turned into a sweet bit, and her enjoying the festivities in the maid outfit was really cute, she wears it well. |
| Wow, the art and animation quality took a huge nosedive this episode. They literally couldn't afford to animate the characters moving their mouth at some points lol. Also, this episode felt like everything was on 2x speed. There was next to no depth of anything that was going on because scenes kept jumping from one part to the next. I like that Ishimori stepped out of her shell and is striving to become more independent, but Kai being labeled as "Ishimori's caretaker" and stepping in to have Ishimori drop out of the festival event made me cringe. He's acting like an overprotective parent to a baby. They're in high school, for goodness sake. She volunteered to participate in the festival event in Serina's stead, let her speak up for herself... |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Direction on this ep was bizarre; felt like a totally different show... especially combined with all the cost-cutting shots. The weird Looney Tunes-esque effect they used when dude was chasing the girl out of the classroom was the only thing that felt well animated, but it also felt completely out of place... |
| This episode is a such a mixed for so so many reasons, I don't even know where to start from. I guess the best moment for me is when Kai mad the announcement in front of everyone in the school. It was the first time I legitimately spat my coffee as a reaction. This guy really doesn't care about what's acceptable and not. Something like this can be a death in the highschool environment. Of course people started using that to bully her in no time at all. Ans then her decision to replace Serina shocked me so much I nearly spat my coffee for the second time. On one hand I understand that she's trying to be like Kai, but putting yourself out like this... Come on girl, you need to have some self-preservation instincts. Speaking of which, what was that public bullying by the speaker? I'm surprised that Kai didn't put him in his place. Of course, the worst part was the abysmal animation. While it did always look like something a person can make in their basement given some time, this time around it gave Blue Lock Season 2 animation a run for its money. To end things on a positive note, I do like that Uka is going beyond being simply infatuated with Kai and is trying to develop as an independently strong person. After all, she does have a lot of good qualities, but her confidence is holding her back. It kind of makes the show feel like a character-driven story about Uka more than the typical love story that's mostly about the guy she likes. |

| I'm happy for Ishimura that she is starting to come off her shell. She's becoming more confident. She however will have a long way to go before any romance between her and Miura becomes plausible. I'm now annoyed more with Miura because right now, he must stop looking after Ishimori for her to grow. She is right at the point of breakthrough, and he is not helping her. If ever romance between them blossoms, it might only happen in season 1 because of the slow pace. |

| What in the world happened to the animation? Did half the staff die? It was like watching crudely made cutouts slide around a storyboard on popsicle sticks most of the time. |
 |
| This episode felt like it had a different director than the previous episodes. Some of the shots, art and transitions seemed creative. However, it felt way too choppy and the first half of the episode was painfully boring. It kind of felt like a recap of events we have yet to see. It felt odd watching this episode, tbh. |
 |
| What happened to the animation? Especially the scene under the tree... ?? Not to mention how fast it was as an episode.. in a very small span of time ..all this happen? Question.. is it also like this in the manga?   |
| this show just keeps giving me good stuff and makes me nostalgic for the memories that doesn't exist. |
| This anime is turning to be mediocre sadly, i thought i would like this anime more because of the way it covers bullying and redemption and have a happy ending but so far the bullying has been super unrealistic. This episode was kinda stupid, i mean alot of anime and some anime that i enjoyed had a maid cafe episode but like cmon it did not suit this anime, And Kai giving so many mixed messages he's just such a badly written character. And him calling out Ishimori he just reminds me of one of those Eboys on Roblox. I think i am the wrong target audience tbh because this seems like more of a female fantasy as in "loser girl" gets picked up with big strong man popular jock guy and they fall in love. Honestly doesn't appeal to me. But i don't drop anime so we finishing it. |
