Quite sly Yozora to put a hidden card there...
But how does she know that Kodaka will get a #3??

In the end, it backfire as Sena is the one getting that card.

But not bad, i can see jelly jelly Yozora expression...

Obviously the #3 stick was marked in some way, and she was waiting for the moment when she was the king and Kodaka was the Subject.

Maria and Kobato really can become a close friend... with awkward relationship...
poor Kobato... she's defeated by Maria on chest size.. well, if you see her sister, you might understand why she grow fast... xD

so, Kate-chan is also a siscon... hahaha.... so funny

The 2nd part is also funny... although it's little sad to see Kobato cosplaying.... and a luckily-failed kiss scene...
Yozora should try to avoid this kind of backlash in the future... hahaha...

I actually feel happy for Sena. She finally managed to circumvent all of Yozora's traps for once.

Here we have them almost kissing on the lips and then Sena's father calling Kodaka up and saying they're engaged. There's quite a difference.

I feel when you start implementing romance in a show that does not need it, it becomes something along the lines of a parasite, slowly killing it's host while nourishing itself. That's why I very much prefer romance in a non-romantic show to be subtle.

Well, from an anime only perspective, that pessimism might have some basis, but so far, they've been very faithful. It is very hard to reply to you without spoiling, but I have to disagree with you that romance is to the detriment of the plot and main theme of the story. Rather, it is integral to the underlying non Romantic theme of Hagani, that of Friendship.

Episode 3

The King's Game is hilarious! But I'm displease seeing Kobato in such a indecent costume... [mod edit: removed unnecessary provocation]

Haiprbim · 2013-01-25, 05:17

Amazing!
Cannot wait to see the next episode! ^.^

What's wrong with Maria with her "poop"' stuff ? Guess she take it from her sister

Would have been totally worth it. Anything to see Yozora's dejected face. She was the one who wrote that order, didn't she? I would have loved to see her beaten at her own game.

Cosmic Eagle · 2013-01-25, 11:06

I realized how much I missed Maria's retard-like speaking style. And it looks like her sister actually has normal clothes unlike her...

Funny no one made a jab at next episode's title lol.

zeniselv · 2013-01-25, 18:24

in my eyes aic redeemed themselves for the crappy first season, certainly the more slapstick animation fits better with the series, its also good that they stopped putting sena in the good light because in the first season that really changed the image of the other characters.

potchip · 2013-01-25, 19:58

Good mood between Kodaka and Sena! Wouldn't mind if it followed through

Sly Yozora is always enjoyable. The thing that perhaps bugs Yozora so much (and the same with other students) is how Sena just sometimes have things on a platter. Born rich, No1 at academics without studying, good at sports, well endowed, and even in King's game just draws the good cards when it's random chance! The skipped scenes looked interesting, too. Yozora doing morning exercises? Sprint between Sena and Rika? :P

Dark Faith · 2013-01-25, 20:13

No anime will ever beat the King's Game from Persona 4: The Animation...

...that said, this was an average episode at best for me. Not really feeling the comedy this season.

Marcus H. · 2013-01-26, 02:14

Kobato gets an unlikely friend with a shitty (no pun intended) manner of speaking, while a round of King's Game almost became a massacre. I have to wonder, does Yukimura and Yozora's tendency to be uncomfy when drinking carbonated drink happen commonly in Japan?

Really good comedy this season, though I still don't like Maria antics. The show has nice flow to it as if they changed some staff.
I was a bit surprised that Rika didn't start drooling when Kodaka flashed his nipples. So tender perverted maiden heart isn't that comfortable with real stuff. King's Game was awesome. Father's question was completely out of blue and did little sence.

I was surprised with this as well, maybe she's all talk?

She looked the entire time, however she did not blush, I'm not sure what to make of it. Yozura was Yozura, and Sena looked twice, that's a win for me.

Entertaining episode as usual. The King's game isn't as fabulous as Persona's but still fun to watch.
