Spoiler:

I wasn't expecting the new season to kick off right when the last one ended with everything blowing up and the entire cast doing some random sendoff until the new season...and then the school is back like nothing ever happened. Good thing someone clicked "Yes" to continue .

Iino and Ishigami still get along like cats and dogs, but Iino not plugging her headphones in correctly leaves Ishigami to hear her deep, intimate, study sounds...which start off normally with pleasant forest sounds before dovetailing into a camel's bellowing which shows Iino's weird tastes and then goes into hot guy pep talks as Yuichiro Umehara (?) and Souma Saito (?) tell Iino how great she is. It's kind of sad yet oddly relatable at the same time .

Ishigami is a good guy and wants to protect Iino's dignity when the rest of the Student Council show up at the worst time, so he gets Fujiwara's love detective nose sniffing and lets everybody hear him listening to a cutesy J-Pop song so Iino can get a clue...but she doesn't, so everybody hears her Ikemene motivational speeches. Luckily everybody goes home and pretends it never happened .

Kaguya has a cellphone and is finally on LINE, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that she just stares at her chat window with Shirogane for hours and acting like a coy girl playing with the guy she likes by not immediately responding back to him...only, Kaguya, not understanding the concept or Read Receipts, doesn't realize the predicament she's left Shirogane in of being desperate to hear back from her knowing she read her texts. And poor Hayasaka has to try to cover for her mistresses' issue with technology lying as easily as she breathes in true Hayasaka fashion. I love how they show Hayasaka and Fujiawara both doing it in the same exact outfit .

Kei cameo as she stretches and observes her brother making a fool of himself waiting for the girl he likes to text back .

Poor Iino...she thinks Kaguya doesn't like her because she didn't text back. Poor Fujiawara...Kaguya thinks she's too much of a pain to text back. Poor Ishigami...no one gets what he's saying about how awesome Discord is .

Kaguya finally getting a clue and making Hasaca tell Shirogane that her texts get screened so she can save face is...so Kaguya. Poor Shirogane now has to think all his texts to her are seen by other people .

The usual Fujiawara and Ishigami tiff ends in a contest to prove who is the strongest of the Student Council in an arm wrestling contest, so it's time to see of the boys and girls who is the true muscle maniac .

Fujiawara vs Iino! Where poor Iino loses and gets to be the enthusiastic referee! Kaguya vs Ishigami! Where Kaguya demonstrates her amazing grip strength as a leftie! Shirogane vs Fujiawara! Where Fujiwara is, unsurprisingly, cheating to save face! And Kaguya vs Shirogane, where an epic arm-wrestling match is in reality two teenagers enjoying holding hands up until one realizes she's about to sweat on her crush and spectacularly wins .

Kaguya just wanted to hold the President's hand, not become the Muscle Queen or Princess Muscle. It's not easy being a main character sometimes .

I love how Ishigami got to have a revenge match and beat Fujiwara. Justice for Ishigami .

The new Opening! And it's as crazy and fun as a Kaguya-sama Opening should be, showing off the craziness of the student council, the supporting cast, and Kaguya running to Shirogane across many different environments (8-bit Kaguya!). And just when it looks like Kaguya and Shirogane are about to confess to each other...the student council of course goes back to being the student council .

[Ragashingo]

Yep. Good and crazy. As it should be. No complaints. Glad it's back.

[grecefar]

this one never fails with the comedy, all the chapter was great.

to be honest the line event for me was kaguya lost, hayasaka saved her, true, but she knows how rude she was with president and the other for not responding, she will always know that.

Ishigami’s got it hard trying to protect Mimi’s dignity. Good thing he has plenty of chances at relief by trampling on Chika’s dignity in kind.

Also, anyone know where I could find Ishigami’s song?

[Kanon]

The anime staff is going all out once again. This is one of those adaptations that transcends the original material.

[Wandering Soul]

And thus Kaguya is crowned the Students council's muscle princess.

[Master_Yoma]

Well Chika is at it again with an arm wrestling and with Kaguya & Miyuki still playing there game

[AntonKutovoi]

I missed these idiots in animated form.

[Marcus H.]

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE/10.

Shuchiin is indeed back.
Fuck yeah.

You can just feel the love they put into this show. It just makes every moment so much fun to watch.

They were all great. The opening scene with Ishigami and Iino was fun. He tried so hard to be a subtle hero and she just completely missed it! Though I can get her wanting to have some audible comfort.

The LINE bit was also great. Poor everybody in this scenario. Iino, Fujiwara, and Ishigami left hanging and not knowing why they were being ignored. This was one of the closest moments for Shirogane cornering Kaguya as well. She was utterly doomed if not for threatening Hayasaka into saving her.

And the arm wrestling tournament was just a blast. Love seeing Chika's desperation to win blowing up in her face. She created this tournament and was both caught cheating...and still lost to Ishigami in the end !

Going to love having this show back.

That last part where Chika claimed her arm was broken brought back some disturbing memories. I've seen a few videos of arm wrestlers whose arms literally snapped like twigs.

Great first episode. Sadly the OP is not as smashing as the first two, but still pretty okay. I hope we get to a certain point in this season.

[Dextro]

I'm in stitches after that first episode. 11/10. They really put all the fan favourites in the first episode didn't they? We got an Inno/Ishigami story, one for Kaguya and (best girl) Hayasaka lying as naturally as she breathes, and one with Chika bringer of chaos. Also plenty of Aoi Koga doing Kaguya voices. Could we even have hoped for more?

Anyway, I'm still blown away by how absolutely perfect Kaguya's voice was cast and how visually creative the animation studio is being in adapting this. That bit where they played a short loop of the first season's opening to show Kaguya pulling her bow? *chef's kiss*

Now to start the long wait until next week.

Wasn't it the second season Op? I remember "Daddy daddy do" so well...and I think they reused the exact same animation for Kaguya pulling her bow .

Maybe it was. I was actually not 100% sure myself
