The romance story is now completely dead! This anime has turned into a how-to-guide for cosplay. Dreadful episode, no progress in the story, the cut-away cosplay explanation sequences are just a waste.. I will try to persevere till the season finale but its hard work watching this now.. Such a shame :(

For a second I thought they were gonna get Gojo to cosplay. That would've been QUITE the sight to see.

Wakana's character development in the way of self image, self acceptance, etc, is sort of a prerequisite to his romantic development, but yeah, the author could advance both tracks incrementally instead of leaving most of the romance to the end arc.

Woah, Akira is a baddie. As for her elusive behavior towards Marin, I will go with the guess that she's just a fan of her but has problems expressing her admiration.

And one day... they remembered Sajuna was part of the cast 🙏

Juju and Shinju are finally back! JUJU AND SHINJU ARE FINALLY BACK!!! I’m so happy! I’ve been loving meeting new people all season long but I was seriously wondering after a while on whether or not the Sajunas would finally make their comeback.

Man, Amane wears that too well…

There's a good amount of gender exploration this season. I does seem like it would be a part of the culture, so it makes sense for a show that will deep dive on the steps of making a doll or props. Guess I'm just used to shows playing it safe and ignoring that stuff.

Other Random thoughts: The way they zoomed in on Marin's image in Akira's eye didn't feel like hate to me. It was more a wide eyed surprise than anger. And unless her friends are pretty mean, I don't think they'd encourage Marin to join once the gave them the out of "She's dieting" if they felt Marin's presence was going to upset Akira. I'm not getting enemy energy. But she did have a decent enough vibe with Gojo, so I could see her being seen a competition for a little bit.

Could we ever get Amane/Miyako adventures?

But on a less cheery note, um... We should probably not leave Suzuka alone with Gojo, right? Especially, not with her camera. Or any his male classmates? Her descriptors for Amane and the basketball manga have me worried that if she had enough money, she'd have a private island and there would be a lot of rumors about what goes on there.

An episode with gender confusions, a male cosplayer dressed as a woman, a female cosplayer dressed as a man and the glorious return of the one and only Juju. Thoroughly entertaining.

I'm not sure what Akira's beef with Marin is, but I doubt it's something Marin actually did, especially since she not Akira. Judging by the reactions of Akira's friends when Marin joined the group cosplay, it seems more nervousness than dislike.

Speaking of the group cosplay, since the costumes are being shopped around, I wonder what role Gojou will play in all of this. Maybe he'll help with fittings, styling or even photography. Knowing him, he'll find a way to contribute in a meaningful way.

....What a TEASE!!!

Loving this build up towards nothing. I freaking love it. I reckon that most of the build up is towards tension between the characters. Like the MANLY Akira and Marina. But the tension this episode reminded me that there were already characters that are with ROMANTIC tension. AND IT IS SCREAMING FROM THE ROOF TOPS. I gotta say though that kinda shocked me the way they were "subtly" showing the 18+ in the background with flashing red light, while Marina thought about why Gojo is looking at XXXL sized condom. Very nice! But Gojo was intended to stay the night... and he was looking at energy drinks, not the condoms. You cant even tell how subtle it was when gojo walked up to the same energy drink isle that was meant for people that were staying up late... just wasnt clear which type of people ya know!

Lord, Sajuna is my fav and her sister being her soul reason for doing something she's not even comfortable with increases her reliability on a personal level. I love that she had to swallow her pride, and fight to even get her phone out. Upon seeing her own sister on the verge of tears because of Sajuna own fault. That being said however, Sajuna is a great sister and I think her sister loves all the same count that Akira complimenting her made her that shy about it.

Regardless, this weeks DressupDarling is meant to be a build up episode. Not much was said, only impled. The game, Marina and Akira's relationship, why Sajuna might not like the game (this might tie in to the first point, linking Gojo and Sajuna in their exp), and of course the event itself (whats gonna happen, whos gonna be there etc). Due to that, I will give it a ten but doc down a few points because the suspense is killing me.

Also about Gojo does he like Marina or does he hate her...or is it out of fear of something? Or Most likely because he know she's being Marina and him coming on to her would make him think that she would reject him. Meaning that he's assumtions were totally wrong. But does this mean he doesnt like her? or that he's overthinking this and he already likes her a whole lot


Anywho,

Rating ->

Plot: 10/10
plans, relationships, goals, interests and fears were all a part of this episode.

Character: 10/10
I love that Gojo is just NOT willing to interact or entertain the idea of him being with marina at all. Very manly type of movement I would do the same. AVOID ALL WOMEN. I WOULD RATHER LEAVE THAN BE PERCEIVED AS CREEPY.

Theme: 10/10
Teasing the weekly watchers and making them wait another week

Ost: 10/10
uh nothing to write home about. Except that shopping scene. DIALED IN BBY

Overall: 8/10

anyway. thats all I have. BYEEE

Nice to see them at a Csoplay event again. While Marin finds Suzuka and Amane and have some time with them, Gojo has something like a private fan event with Akira. When Marin spotted them both, it was so funny how she rushed downstairs and rushed to join them. How Suzuka spoke with Marin and Gojo was somehow cute and funny. At the follow-up meeting, everyone can finally agree on a joint cosplay event where they want to do something like a "coffin game" together. Here Marin wanted to ask Juju and her sister out, where the episode ends. I'm curious to see how it continues. :D

Akira is both talented and pretty! Well, most, if not all, of the girls in this anime look good. :P

This Coffin (lol, what a name) game sounds like Among Us, just in a monastery-themed environment and nuns instead of crewmates.

Going back to Akira, I wonder what the story is between her and Marin. I thought she might have been a fan of Marine-chan, but it seems it's actually the opposite.

Suzuka was a photographer that took pictures of Marin’s Shizuka cosplay, and apparently her and Marin have become acquainted. Because of her, Marin has become a better photographer and it seems that the whole group is more connected than I thought.

I knew when Suzuka mentioned a prop maker, she was talking about Akira. It was too much of a coincidence for her to be talking about someone else, and it seems that both Wakana and Akira thought of each other as the opposite genders that they are. Speaking of genders, we get to meet Miyako who is a woman who likes to crossdress as men. Interesting. Given Wakana’s detail-oriented personality, I’m not shocked that he had even more questions to ask Akira, but it seems those questions will have to wait since now the whole group have decided to have an after party.

That reminds me of Aoi, who has been giving us some cosplay explanations regarding original characters and the after parties, and unfortunately, SHE WASN’T ABLE TO MAKE THE PARTY AND CAN’T DO THE GROUP COSPLAY! However, Marin will be joining and it seems this time, she will be wearing a premade outfit and… WE MAY BE SEEING JUJU AGAIN! THAT TAKES ME BACK TO LAST SEASON.

LET’S GO! I’M EXCITED TO SEE HOW THIS ALL DEVELOPS!

I can't remember... Who's that Marin photographer friend is.... And can't believe Gojo think adult doesn't walk around with a doll...
And now Akira suddenly react weird after seeing Marin...
Akira is a dual gender name... While Wakana.... Gojo the first character that I heard this name....
Finally that loli is going to appear again.

I don’t really get it like why is Akira a bit concerned about Marin even though it doesn’t seem like they’ve met before? Maybe it’s something that hasn’t been revealed yet.
Amane’s cosplay was amazing, and he totally nailed those cute idol poses. Plus, we’re going to see him in a nun outfit later, which I’m really looking forward to. But what I’m most excited about is Juju-sama blessing us with her presence again this season and hopefully accepting Marin’s invite.

Akira only on screen for 10 seconds (before the opening) and i already understood - wife.

No, she is really cool, i love that type.
And she is very beautiful, i like that stylish jacket and cigarette.

Btw i know people very similar to her in real life: that appearance, demeanor, gestures - everything is conveyed very accurately.
Although i prefer more idealized, unrealistic type of character (anime should show things that dont and cant exist in reality), theres something cool about this realistic characters.

Im writing this comment after watching next episode so i already know whats going on here.
But when i watched this episode i realized that something strange with Akira's reaction but i couldn't figure out what exactly (thats what made me to watch next episode).

And new Amane cosplay!
Cutie.
Honestly i was a little upset when he showed up at the cafe without cosplay...

Also Marin's friend (Suzuka, i think?) is cool, theres something about her, it was funny watching her.

So cosplaying as a nun next?
I really liked the nun cosplay in opening, looking forward to it.

Great episode.

Funny to see them both thinking the other to be the other gender.

I do wonder what's p with Akira though? Past history with Marin? but Marin doesn't seem to recongize her?

PUT SUZUKA ON A LIST. SHE'S A (potential)) MANEATER.

I like this little group of cosplayers forming. They're here to have a good time while working.

Akira seems cool, but I wonder why she seems...displeased by Marin's presence. Maybe a previous modeling colleague that went under appreciated?

Also, WE TSUN TSUN-ing next time boys!

@AnimaExZero well, I guess every fanbase needs the obnoxious side of the fanbase who is hostile to literally any and all critique. Nice to see you've arrived on cue.
@Spitonme I think there's a bit difference between "critique", and plain, senseless whining...

I don't see the point on keep watching an anime, if you keep complaining about every bit...

skipped watching this episode last week, finally seen it during dinner and guess what... not disappointed. At all. Amane returns and immediately makes the plot even more interesting, and looks as much as great in this costume as during the first time. This show nails the enthusiasm of cosplayers for the smaller details too, such as "it's a old series, i thought i would have never seen cosplayers of it, it's so cool i'm not the only one remembering it". i already like Aoi segments, i could seriously feel for Gojo talking to Akira and NOT being used to socialize to strangers, but i was honestly concerned, for a moment, at her fuming during the after party dinner talk. i had almost forgot about Kitagawa's diet going on and putting cosplaying on hold in general, but cool they all found a solution, and a announced old face from season 1 is finally re-entering the scene.

It is cosplay event time. Marin and Gojo go to one where Marin meets up with Amane and Suzuka while Gojo meets up with Akira, a prop making master.

This was probably my least liked episode of this series so far as it showed no growth between the 2 main characters in Marin and Gojo. Also, did Gojo ask to meet Akira only to ignore her once Marin called? Because Gojo had some long paragraph on cosplaying topics ready to discuss and nothing was shown on that after Marin appeared.

Regarding Akira and Marin, it looks like Akira has an issue with Marin, like if she's met her in the past and had a bad experience but with Marin being clueless my guess is that Marin did something indirectly to Akira without her realizing it, or it is some big misunderstanding.

This episode was alright, definitely the slowest one so far. Felt like not a lot happened and multiple scenes just dragged on, not a big fan of it. Had some fun moments like Akira meeting Gojo and Marin, more Himano which I’m a big fan of now, setup for the next arc and the humor with Aoi was really funny with the last bit. Had some great moments and I’m excited for the next arc but this episode felt kinda egh, first episode of the whole show I’m not really satisfied with. (4 stars cus still great show)
