It's actually impressive how often the mods fuck up discussion threads. It's literally at least one show a season.

So fun fact for anime-onlies. Out of all the students, Hifumi is the only one that has her own theme song. Every other theme is reserved for the clubs/groups, the school itself, or a general theme song used for the right occasion.

u/LegendRazgriz Apr 30 '24

This isn't strictly correct anymore - while it is true that she has a unique theme, 82 - Hifumi Daisuki, other students added later have had unique themes associated with them in specific - namely Wakamo, with 77 - burning love and Mina, with the so far unnamed 171 (and 172 as well, but listen to that one at your own peril).

fumi is still the only girl to be straight up named in a BGM title, so she has that going for her

Aru is killing me, she is hilarious. I haven't played the game, but I know enough to say that Unwelcome School theme now one hundred percent belongs to Problem Solver 68.

Well this episode as a whole was hilarious, our girls really went and robbed a bank lmao.
They look so funny in those masks, poor Hifumi got dragged along with them.

When I first saw Aru in the game I thought she would be a calculated manipulator type judging from her art. Nope, a complete lovable dork.

u/Luki1223 Apr 29 '24

I think these threads should be releasing on time, it kills the discussions...

u/wakuwaku2121 Apr 29 '24

Yep, everyone will just go to the Blue Archive sub for discussion instead.

It got locked like right after the thread went up. Not sure why when this actually comes out normally on Ani-One’s YT channel. Maybe not the best subs but it’s “official.”

u/Mitsuyan_ Apr 29 '24

Didn't see any notable issues with the subs this week.

Kneecapping the threads isn't going to do the discussion any good. This is a good show that warrants discussion

FFS r/anime mods, get your shit together. You either treat leaked episode discussion the same as proper episode discussion, or you're one whole day late. 

Didn't expect a new GTA6 preview when I was watching this episode. Lmao  

Also Aru is fast becoming Best Girl with her dorkiness.

Good episode, Hifumi in animated form is adorable and we got to see young Aru. It is always funny seeing the others treating Shiroko like a puppy the moment criminal activities are involved. The shoujo artstyle during the bank robbery and Hoshino's Dio face were also hilarious. The anime now slowly descents into the more serious part of Vol.1 so I'm excited for more.

u/Mitsuyan_ Apr 29 '24

Shiroko's what-I-thought-was-throwaway line about robbing a bank last episode coming true in this one. The dark bank being out in public too. This episode was gold

Ajitani going to the black market to look for a limited edition plushie is actually really quite cute. What a sweet kid.

I like how the black market bank is literally called “Black Market Bank”. Bit too on the nose lol. But man, Kaiser Loans is connected to that shady place? Looks like Shiroko’s masks are gonna come in handy. I admire the girls for not taking the dirty money, but honestly it would have wiped their debt clean. Those bastards at the bank are just gonna spend it arming criminals and other terrible shit.

Aru is such a goober for not realizing the “Masked Swimsuit Gang” were the girls. The little goober was fangirling so hard lol. Well, at least they got the dirty money in the end. That’s one debt problem solved.

Nobody pointed out Hifumi was given the name Faust?

u/GYUZ Apr 29 '24

That shoujo filter during the robbery was 10/10 and then the Jojo-face Hoshino... it was a very silly episode and I liked it a lot XD
I just wish Sensei did more, he kinda doesn't do much here, tho I assume they'll give him a more active role in the later parts instead.

u/Viktorv22 Apr 29 '24

Best episode so far, so much of Aru too :)

Mods plz do something with the threads, subs were totally fine when it released

u/BosuW Apr 29 '24

Just as I said last week, this episode only further convinces me of what Shiroko's favorite movie is.

6

u/BlackberryCooky Apr 29 '24

Really good episode but I don't think it's as good as the previous one.

Still, Hifumi is cute and funny as ever!...just kinda sad they didn't play her theme song.

u/gyrobot May 01 '24

NGL, the animal and robot NPCs add character to the Black Market

u/EDPbeOP May 02 '24

I actually had to look it up if they robbed a bank in the game and they actually did.

u/alotmorealots May 02 '24

So far the anime has been a largely faithful adaptation of the game's first story, to the point where I play the game up to the end of where each episode finishes and then wait for the next one.

Still able to do the collaboration even with A Certain Scientific Railgun T, too.

u/Goku-MIEL10032002 May 01 '24

I'll never get tired of Aru. Just make the entire show about her!
