| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh silly Aru. I mean, an elementary school bag...lol. That outfit really makes her look like a kid. Episode is alright. We even got a tennis match with Nako and Aru. Nako's personality is pretty funny when you see her play. |
 |
| Aru-Aru Beam! xD The tennis portion was the best part for me, pretty average episode imo. |
 "There are three things you can never get back: The word after it's said, the moment after it's missed, and the time after it's gone." -Koe no Katachi  |
| Good to see that the ninja training is progressing smoothly. |
 |
| I like that this anime looks like the best examples of school titles and doesn't try to simplify the identity of all the girls to "Bochi's friend with own archetype". At some point, I even began to think that the plot spends even more time on the relationship between Nako and Aru than any of them with MC. |
 |
| ARU-ARU BEAMU! And don't you have a mirror in your room, Aru? |
 |
| Was a full on Aru episode, fun overall but I want more Bocchi antics, I knew somewhere down the line Aru wont be able to resist Bocchi and just hug her, that little girl is too adorable, like owning a cute puppy. Aru's theme song during the tennis match was pretty rad too, but seriously.. how can you even forget that a cap is not part of your uniform... |
  |
| Decent episode. Loved the tennis part, |
 |
| This was easily the worst episode for me, and Bocchi wasn't even the main in this episode. I could kinda see the 2 separate jokes of Aru working in the original 4Koma, ending the 4th panel with Aru wearing elementary school clothes for no good reason as the punchline and ending it there. But it really feels like both parts in this adaptation were just stretched out of 2 jokes alone. There was nothing to actually complete from the source in order to make it feel like an actual anime episode, just 2 over stretched out jokes (the repetition of the Aru beam joke over and over was just pure cringe). I also don't get Nako's character, all of the girls have a name that represents her trait or flaw, and she's supposed to be the "good girl" but rather she's just a douchebag when it comes to dealing with Aru. I'm not a stranger when it comes to absurd comedy, but this? I really don't get what's supposed to be funny about this episode. |
| Cute episode. Love Arus beautiful green eyes and that adorable little backpack She and Nako really goes to war, love always starts with a fight. Their love quarrel are cute as hell and ensures me that my waifus is going to be a together in the future, witch sounds thrilling. They are adorable and so much in love with each other. It's nice to observe this young soon to be lesbian couple This show is more gay then thought it was going to be =) That is just AWESOME we need more waifu on waifu in anime And I'm pleased to see all the intimacy between my girls in a whole ,holding hands hugging etc. They are so close and loving to each other , and are a really tight group of girls, Love to see that I want a ,sleepover,,going to the beach, and a ,school play, episodes in the future. And i really wish for a kiss between the girls ,that would be the cherry on the cake and perfection is something this anime should strive after Anny-how great stuff I'm more then pleased 10/10 |

| The background music was on point, imo. Neat episode. Mieru-chan (or is it Aru?) is still a cute loser with her adorable Aru-Aru Beam. |

Not to mention that considering her BFF status with Bochi, their ship makes much more sense. |
|
| Def the best episode so far Honestly it's been so long since I read the beginning of the manga that I don't really remember these sketches. Ironically makes it funnier since it still feels fresh that way |
  |
| this episode adapted chapters 12, 24 and 46 |
 |
| The episode was ok. Had some amusing moments, but really nothing stood out. |

RobertBobert said: freakazow said: this episode adapted chapters 12, 24 and 46 Do they adapt chapters out of turn? What's the point of this? so far its been a pretty solid run of doing it chapter by chapter. the first episode adapted chapters 1, 2 and 13.5(bonus chapter from Volume 1) as well as the covers from volume 2 + 3 second episode adapted chapters 3, 4, 5 third 6, 7, 8 fourth 9, 10, 11 I guess they adapted them out of turn to get the Aru chapters together. |
|
| @freakazow You think they just decided to make an Aru's character-focus episode? |
|
| Honshou Mieru is moe! Nako always outwit Aru in everyway! 5/5. |
 |
yes, I believe so purple monkey dishwasher |
|
Well, that sounds reasonable. I already start to think that they simply take random chapters and glue them together in one episode, lol. |
|
| oh, Aru, you unfortunate girl! :D really like this ep, nice to see an episode focused not on BOcchi this time. |

She's never a "good girl" type. Her name means "honest, direct child" which explains her frank personality. |
| Unfortunate! More like a mental problem. Having an unfortunate event is getting splashed by water on the roadside, your pants tearing in public or your heel breaks or you fall in front of your crush and not this. forgetting a hanger on you and a brush on your hair, or wearing elementary school uniform by mistake doesn't count as being unfortunate but count as having a mental disorder. Not funny at all but absurd even for me. The punchlines aren't that creative like Asobi Asobase, but are just predictable and a little bit childish. But the animation is still great though, other than that it is bland in my perception. How I miss Jojo this week! |

| No, I have bad luck, Aru it's just an idiot. Also, it's funny how everything for Sotca is a jutsu. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| My fave ep with the most laughs (for me) so far 😙 The character interactions, reactions, and Aru’s introspective inner monologue were all on point 😎 And Nako’s “Mieru” teasing gave me flashbacks to Kazuma’s “Lalatina” 😆 edit: and after rewatching, the dialogue and insert song awesome too 😉 |

| Aru's misfortune is definitely something else... poor girl xD Entertaining episode overall. It wasn't the best one but it sure had some nice moments. God damn it~ |
| Need more Nako in my life!!! She's becoming one of my favorites this season. |

| I love and enjoy every second of this anime. This, Gabriel Dropout and Ichigo Marshmallow could be the holy trinity of CGDCT. |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| best episode so far. Aru's theme during the tennis match wasjust the cherry on top |
| Elementary School Backpack! Oh my...a middle-schooler saying "God Damn" in her mind... The hell is wrong with you Honshou? First the backpack, now the entire uniform? Don't you have a mirror at home, or did your unfortunate reality break that too? Turning an unfortunate situation to an advantage as Aru's elementary school getup causes the taciturn Nako to burst out in laughter. LOL! Now this is a school club that I would definitely join! "You have an image as a perfect class vice president?" Lol Nako. LMAO! She tossed the ball at Aru's head! Hahahaha! Sotca wearing an origami samurai helm... Episode centered on Honshou today. It was cute. Like Nako said, no need to be perfect. Just be yourself! "Summer comes in 5-7-5". We doing some Haikus next episode? |
 |
| Quite the episode, best one yet. We have an episode dedicated to Honshou Aru, the "unfortunate" but comedic character, plus alongside Nako, the jokes don't feel old and feels perfect and complementary. The perfectionist (but not quite perfect yet) version of herself performing in class is just icing on the cake. GOD DAMMIT! |
 |
| An whole episode for the unfortunate Aru is not what I was expecting, but it certainly delivered on the comedy front as one of the funniest episodes in the entire show so far. |

|
| An unfortunate episode. Laughed so hard when Aru said "I'm finally finished". xD Headbutt while wearing an elementary school hat. Aru upgraded her attack. I guess Nako throwing the tennis ball into Aru's head is payback for all those headbutts. |
| Nice. Aru got the spotlight this time. And I got loads of laughter. |
| i actually didn't like this episode too much, even tho i like the teasing between Ako and Nako, but this was just 20 minutes of the same thing that happens every other episode between them lol i actually felt like skipping the rest of the episode when i saw Aru with the full outfit...like seriously? :v |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| Aru was the main focus in this episode and her unfortunate luck gives even the likes of Toma Kamijo a run for his money. XD Accidentally using her elementary school backpack was just a small appetiser of her unfortunate luck. The next day, she was wearing her full elementary school uniform, gets awkward looks at her and also has Nako bursting out laughing and even wanted to take a picture of her then and there. At least she was able to use this as an advantage in the school classroom where everyone applauded Aru for making Nako laugh so openly. =) Aru can even speak English decently, too. However, she read the wrong page and her response, also in English, was "God damn it!". That had me laughing a lot as well. =3 The tennis match segment had me laughing. So many fails and serving the ball and plenty of salty facial expressions to match that, too! Aru-Aru Beam took many attempts before she finally nailed a lovely serve, but she was happy to concede a defeat, also that led to her misunderstanding Nako and making an embarrassment of herself again. How unfortunate! Great episode overall, one where it had plenty of funny and cute moments. Hopefully Bocchi will get her screentime back next time, though. =P |

| This episode was terrible. The 'unfortunate' gag is the dumbest thing in the show and it was like the whole episode. The elementary school uniform thing was ludicrous. Aru's theme song was pretty cute I guess but they managed to even ruin the beam gag which I sort of liked before. Nako is honestly the worst character in the show but Aru is becoming just as annoying. I have a feeling this all works better in 4-koma format, but this anime as a whole isn't really working out for me. |

| I can relate to Aru |
syncrogazer said: The 'unfortunate' gag is the dumbest thing in the show and it was like the whole episode I guess the most correct term is "loser", not "unfortunate". They use "loser" in the scans. "Loser" gives a whole different meaning to the jokes, I think |
lostinexistence said: "Loser" gives a whole different meaning to the jokes, I think Honestly, that makes it worse. |
| Great episode. Aru became more lovable lol. Every single character is so well written. |

Great episode overall, one where it had plenty of funny and cute moments. Hopefully Bocchi will get her screentime back next time, though. =P well, Bocchi had plenty screentime episode 1-4. I don't mind giving one full episode to each of the other main girls, to explore their personalities a bit more. :) |

Just an mere observation thoughts and some wishful thinking i have while i was engulfing myself in this glorious chef d'oeuvre . My reflections on this media are my own and there for futile to debate further. I rather spend my precious time in a more productive manner |
