| You know what, most of the time tsunderes are just grumpy or mad for no reason, or over the smallest things, but this time it actually feels kind of justified. Ofc, only one person can help her here, our boy Yamabuki himself... though somehow his acting is even worse than his singing from the last arc. And yeah the only one gullible enough to fall for it is our resident pigtail tsundere xD At a certain point though, you could understand why she believed it because HOLY SHIT Kirino was about to go in for the kill lmao. That’s what happens when you brag about something that clearly did not happen, AHEM Nene. But in the end she pulled it off and got the girl’s approval, so good for her. |

| Great episode Nene really did believe that Yamabuki and Kirino were a couple and about to kiss I thought she was to about to go crazy on them. |
that's it. I wanna laugh in GIF. Once again, well done to all the seiyuus and the sound production x |

| Omg finally a Nene episode!! Best girl got some great shine today and Arisu showed why he’s become so integral to these girls’ lives. Now theoretically, the great actors don’t need to have experienced things to reproduce the emotions of them. That’s why they’re considered greats. But there are some roles where being able to channel the pain or experience of a situation make it more believable and Iko x Arisu pretending to be in love and make Nene jealous definitely helped on that front. Girl you better tell him how you feel before Iko really does swoop in and kiss him lol. Speaking of which, Iko deserves a lot of praise for her efforts today. Obviously she played it off as a joke, but that was her real feelings and it took courage. Also, it probably stings a little knowing you’re pouring your heart out to someone and they’re just seeing it as acting practice lol. That little indirect kiss at the end was too cute, probably not a good idea to do it with coffee though. Nene got her get back in the end! Got better as an actress and made Arisu a little flustered. Best girl. |

| Wait, isn't that blonde-haired girl from the first episode? Didn't think she'd show up again. At least her design didn't get wasted. But man, what an overactor. A Nene-focused episode? It was great. A lot of great voice actors or actors in general actually come from theater, so this could be a good thing for Nene. But Idk how many voice actors are good theater actors. It's kind of a weird thing. Voice acting and acting are two completely different fields. Actors are usually poor voice actors, and I assume the reverse is also true in most cases. Of course, there are some talented people who do great in everything. The NTR subplot was amazing (never thought I'd say this). Especially cause of Iko. She looks great when she's not wearing the hoodie. It's rare to see her emotions cause she randomly becomes low-poly so often. So it's hard to imagine her in certain situations. Anyway awesome episode that went by very fast. The indirect kiss was funny. Yamabuki is completely clueless. I assume the next episode will be about Iko and then Shinobu after that. Then the last 2 episodes will be some type of final arc or something. |
| Quite a funny episode overall, I love how full of himself Arisu can be it really bounces back well with the girls. That fake dating scene was actually gold |
ik this is a nene episode but iko's really the one who shines this ep   |
| Nene focused ep with Iko supporting? I'm in. Didn't enjoy this Nene ep as much as the previous one but it awesome nonetheless thanks to Nene and Iko knowing the other person has fond feelings towards Yamabuki. I'm starting to miss Lemon chan now, wonder when next we'll see her again. |
| Heh I liked Nene's little get back at the end, fun episode. |
| The twintail mutation lol. When's one is angry even their hair is too. Rare indeed for Nene to be this meek. That was a nice way of helping Nene release her frustrations. The prank though was pretty well thought out. In the end im glad that Nene while being able to overcome her problem also developed a better talent for acting. Though this ep showed well that each girl can be unpredictable in how they make their moves. |

| Yamabuki was so stiff wtf. Iko went for the kiss, she almost got it. A tsundere having a reason to be mad??? That’s a first. |
| Decent episode. The emotions really did escalate. Arisu is just too clueless to realize how his harem feels about him, haha. Nevertheless, I'm super glad Nene got her payback. I'm also really happy we finally got the Nene-dedicated episode I'd been waiting and looking forward to for so long. |
| yeah, method acting is dangerous. those theater club kids shouldn't be playing around with their mental health like that without some gdamn long n hard professional acting education and educators supervising it. also, acting is ALL about THINKING. where to stand, to walk, which way to face, who is coming into the shot from which direction, what props are there, furniture, where is the camera the audience and on and on and on. it is NOT just about emotional range and expressiveness and getting into the part. VOICE actors don't have the luxury or the pains to have to use non-verbal communication skills like hand motions, facial expressions, body poses and whatnot. they only have their VOICES as tools to convey the script and the lines and the feelings inside the screenplay. if you see somebody with a sad face or a happy one or a furious one or totally expressionless... a human both through instinct and learned behaviors responds to facial expressions. the classic 55/38/7 idea of body language/tone of voice/content of spoken words is misleading but a good point to start from. that is the kinds of things the theater kids need to be THINKING about, not listening to some sham-ham trying to wiggle herself into a sweetheart 'big money man' marriage. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| Ragebaiting the tsundere will never not be funny but I love how they had an excuse to plan an entire operation around it lol. It's kinda sweet how Nene wanted to safeguard the one thing she had over the other maybe-Apollos as badly as she did. |
| Iko settling with the indirect kiss but couldn't handle the bitter coffee lol. But seriously though, she does like Yamabuki and I think she's the only one that has said that she loves him so Nene had a legitimate reason to be concerned/jealous. |
| Kirino was wayy to cute here! |
 |
| Nice Nene focused episode, and also a bit of an Iko focused one because of the fake cheating segment, that was a pretty genius plan to have Yamabuki and Iko pretend to be in a real relationship in earshot of Nene so she’d overhear it and then get something close to the experience of being cheated on. The only problem is that it took a while for Nene to actually do something, so Iko decided to go for the kiss which eventually broke Nene out of her statue-like state, Iko said it was an ad-lib but it’s pretty clear that it wasn’t lol, I wonder if it actually would’ve happened or not if Nene didn’t stop it. Well at least Iko got an indirect kiss with the drink exchange, too bad she’s not a fan of black coffee tho lol. And so Nene managed to impress Oizumi with her performance thanks to what she witnessed with Yamabuki and Iko, she may not have said the right line but it was a lot more real than her deliveries before, very nice to see her grow as an actor like this, it should really help her voice acting endeavors I would imagine. And that was a nice payback moment on Nene’s part when she duped Yamabuki at the end, if that truly was acting anyway, maybe she just thinks she was acting but subconsciously she said the truth there, I think both could be true. |
| Poor Yamabuki getting abused again 2 confessions in 1 ep??? damnn  |
| Nene's frustrations are understandable as not everyone likes to be criticised so much, but Oizumi was right in saying that Nene's acting was way off. It's a good thing that Yamabuki was on the case to help her out! Trying to make her act that felt like she was cheated sounds like a tall order, but the plan to have Yamabuki and Iko in a fake relationship and act it in such a way, with Iko within inches away from kissing Yamabuki's lips before the classic interruption, to convince Nene worked better than it thought it would do. The reactions were very amusing, too. Iko even got a little indirect kiss from Yamabuki's coffee can, even though she hates the bitter taste of it. XD The end result worked and Nene's acting was spot on, which got her praise from Oizumi and everyone else of the theatre club. It was also pretty cute that she a little payback on Yamabuki right at the end of the episode. |
| Nene and Iko are my favorites, so I felt conflicted this episode lol It was really good |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| And yet Iko is still in the lead, because the scenes with her are just too funny. |
| Nene focused episodes are most well produced episode and that's fact. Tsundere has been defused.  |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| I'm really liking this anime! The MC has personality and the girls too. More anime like this? lol |
| Nene is cute when jealous |
| Damn I really like Nene so much she's so cute, and her voice really suits her. |
| If there's something I like a lot from Nene is that she isn't overly aggressive as tsunderes tend to be in romcoms. She's pretty adorable and much more rational despite her small emotional bursts. Both this episode and its adapted manga chapter proved it :P And one can't just ignore Iko's bold move with that 'maybe-not-so-fake' kiss attempt, even Shinobu and Rikka were very worried haha |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Bro I was gonna drop this show in the first couple episodes because the animation was kind of ass but now idc anymore this is low-key peak |
