The ending episode felt rushed. They charged into battle and let the conversation handle all the explanations about their powers. But since this is not the main priority aspect for their audience, I would say the ending is good, especially for those who love this genre.
The budgeting situation made me laugh. It’s absolutely relatable in a real-life scenario, and it’s also a responsible solution to make up for the budget deficit.
So here, it feels that the vibe is starting to change. The usual eye-catching moments are still there, but this episode definitely shifts into a more serious direction.
This is the funniest school activity they’ve had so far. I haven’t heard of the sport featured in this episode, but it was really fun to watch. Actually, it looks familiar like Iv'e watched it in a different anime or probably a live-action series before. I kind of want to try it, too.
The instrumental piano version of their opening theme is nice. It’s a funny episode where some things are not what they seem. This is a good example of how overthinking and stereotyping can affect the way we view languages in general.
There's a real plot going on here. I even thought there was some kind of crossover. But it’s good that they added other exciting characters to . . . explore.
Here's an interesting backstory, and I noticed that as the episode goes on, more things are being . . . revealed.
This has some action scenes with distractions that keep butting in.
This is so true, especially for girls. Choosing what to wear can feel like preparing for a pageant. There’s some nice development for our Takeru guy here, and I wonder if it will overpower the existing vibe.
This is a perfect mix bath worth remembering. I totally agree that fluffiness, firmness, and size can make a difference. Though it's all subjective, society can't take their eyes off this kind of view.
Takeru and Kengo’s tree adventure was hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing. This episode will definitely brighten your day.
I honestly lost count of how many times those eye-openers went flying. This is definitely Brook’s kind of show. If you’re looking for material of excitement, this one is for you. No judging, just enjoy the bumpy ride.
Certainly one of the good ones out of the bunch from this season. The maid cafe and service-day chaos is EXACTLY the kind of nonsense this show does best. Well not gonna lie the fan service kind of growing on me, but they do get a little bit TOO explicit sometime. overall good developments for the finale!🤘
Finally balik ke arah serius lagi. Ga seharusnya expect vibe serius kalo ngomongin anime di genre ini, tapi secara ga langsung itu nunjukin kalau plot nya cukup solid buat dapat attention dan audiens ingin tau apa yang terjadi selanjutnya. Walau masih terasa seperti mengutamakan fan service diantara segalanya namun asalkan plot solid dan dieksekusi dengan pace yang bagus saya rasa tidak ada masalah~~
Oh boy, of course they will add something to do with water.. a welcome change of pace, nothing groundbreaking though but the cast's dynamic makes it a lot more enjoyable than it probably should be. Overall a nice watch and i probably put this one on higher tier in terms of enjoyability than the rest so far..
Despite many fans on forums despising this particular episode and calling it “fan service slop,” I actually enjoyed it from beginning to end. It’s ridiculous and over-the-top, thanks to Syria, who, in my humble opinion, is the highlight of the episode.👏
Solid episode, as it highlights our MC while also showing more character development for the rivals. I wouldn’t say the fan service ruins it.. since in this kind of anime it’s an important element and many people watch it just for that. BUT at times it can feel a bit excessive.
Not much progress on moving forward with the plot, but this episode has a rather lighthearted feeling, which is good. Much more slower paced than the last one for sure but some interractions between characters here are cleae, and it's a positive in my book. Oh and yea.. lots of fan service..
Solid characters focusing on the MC's character development as a person. Solid scenes shown, and i feel like each shot is well excecuted and the action scenes are solid!
Episode ini cukup nunjukin peningkatan dari segi kualitas pergerakan kedepan di plot, dan menurut saya di eksekusi dengan cukup matang, at least untuk standard anime sejenis ini. Tanpa nulis spoiler, disini juga seperti sebelumnya ada scene stereotip lagi, tapi it's not a bad thing! scene nya cukup relatable dan worth untuk ditonton!
