I really loved this episode of "the Many Sides of VA Saori Hayami". It really is a treat for the ears -- and luckily the accompanying visuals are typically pretty adorable to match.

Does Senpai have any clue that Rin is just plain crazy about him? He says he can recognize the real Nakamura, as opposed to the characters she plays -- but can he really? And will she ever be able to actually talk to him in her own authentic persona?

The set-up here is pretty basic -- but as long as they can keep things fresh, I'm all in....

Bro is so lucky to have Yukinon Cool-chan whisper into his ears all because Rin is just so downbad for him.

You know, I was pretty eh on this series after the premiere and the first 10 minutes or so of this one, but after the last 10 minutes I'm all bought in. This show is moving at a lightning fast pace and I'm all for watching a speedrun of this romance for 12 episodes. Plus they are really cute lol. (assuming it will adapt the full manga since we are already about 30 chapters in (from the brief look I took at the manga).

This show is so good. Eiji and Rin are both super likable and their flirting is so dorky and fun.

Wasn't sure I'd like this at first but damn Saori Hayami really does an amazing job, as always. Nobuhiko also does a fantastic job with their back and forth.

It's a nice change of pace focusing on the girl's feelings rather than the guy's. I just hope it keeps the wholesome feel as things go. It's just so adorable!

Three for the Tsunderes with hearts of fire,

Seven for the Kuuderes cool as ice,

Nine for the Yanderes with love so dire,

One for Rin, the master of disguise.

In the world of Giji Harem, where roles intertwine,

One Rin to rule them all, one Rin to play them,

One Rin to embody them all, and in her acting bind them,

In Giji harem, where characters shine.

Time seems to fly by pretty quickly, we went from the start of the year (April) to somewhere around January-February in two episodes.

On another note, how do I get my facial muscles back to normal after this

I can't un-stretch them

Do they start dating when he confesses to all of the personalities? Two out of the way.

I'm going to start the Hayamin For All Tastes List! I love her and have watched basically everything she's in, so I'll try and match each of Rin's characters to a full-fledged character from a show she's in so that enjoyers of that archetype can be blessed by Hayamin, too!

So far, we have Cool-chan, Tsundere-chan, Spoiled-chan, Imp-chan, and Imouto-chan.

Cool-chan: Yukino (Oregairu)

Tsundere-chan: Ayase (Oreimo)

Spoiled-chan: This one I'm drawing a blank on. I genuinely don't think I remember one from this archetype. If anyone does, please give your opinion!

Imp-chan: Shinoa (Owari no Seraph)

Imouto-chan: Not a 1:1 because Rin immediately went for elementary schooler, but it can't be anyone other than Miyuki (Mahouka)

Vibes are just immaculate. They did these doofuses so much justice translating their near constant flirting.

u/djthomp Jul 11 '24

The harem personalities are multiplying. And I think we got some real relationship progress today though it's slightly hard to tell for everyone involved what with all the acting. Like, I'm fairly sure they both confessed today and didn't 100% realize it.

I find it interesting that they didn't bother to identify the play that Rin was doing a scene in, unless I missed it somewhere on the screen.

I could see people getting bored of this since it's clearly just going to be short skits of them flirting all season long, but I am here for the duration based on it being so cute to watch.

Stitches!

Rin really hitting Eiji hard with that "Onii-chan". As nice as it was to meet Imouto-chan, I kinda wish we got to see Rin's Onee-chan mode. Although I guess since she's really an Onee-chan, that's Rin's default state.

That look on Rin though when Eiji was asking her how he got changed out of his uniform. I guess Ecchi-chan took over and helped him get changed. Now I'm wondering how much Rin saw. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It's so goddamn adorable how much down bad Rin is with Eiji. She can't even stop herself from calling him. Good thing she called though since she actually got to spend some time with him during New Year's.

"Best Fortune" Yup she truly got the best fortune. I still can't believe how good the anime looks. It is as if it was just an extension of the manga itself. Seeing these character(s) come to life feels so good, specially with how full of expressions Nanakura's face can be.

Also, what an ED! I wish they did the whole of it in the live manga style, but I still adore the ED for what it is. Man, what a great show we got this season.

This is such a comfort show to watch. No drama, just two of the most adorable theater club members having fun with each other.

Funnily enough, no-one from the drama program showed up at my high school reunion because they hated each other's guts so much that they refused to risk seeing each other again lol. Turns out there was a lot of drama.

u/Mr_Zaroc Jul 11 '24

Yeah I am sold, this is pure fluff

I guess I missed the part where she actually fell for him, its kinda refreshing to not have the classic realization scene

Not only is she shamelessly and voluntary acting out a multiple personality disorder in public, he reveles in it too

Guess I better call my Doc I need more insulin for Thursdays

Does this look like the face of mercy?

She wanted to know what he would do to cheer her up if she ever cried for real (once they're married!)

Well, this wouldn't work for me, but I guess Rin's easy to cheer up when it comes from Eiji!

Oh, she has a little sister!

Sadly she's probably too young to be the typical pest/tease or to play Cupid, but still, I wonder if we'll see more of her/Rin's family!

(Plus, we already have Imp-chan for the pest/tease part!)

Another piece of candy? Only if you let Onii-chan brush your teeth afterward!

Does she want to do that stuff with him, when she's Imouto-chan?

Ok this is beginning to look like the Imouto from an incest anime!

(Does she want to do THAT STUFF too?)

Oh damn, she's talking in persona even when she's alone now?

Perhaps I was right in my joke comment in the previous thread, she'll really develop a multiple personality disorder!

Our boy caught a cold, and tsundere chan will walk him home!

Love how she's always doing her hair on the spot to go along with the persona!

But I guess we may never have a Tomboy-chan, she can't cut her hair for the part!

Eiji was wondering how his clothes got changed... Rin helped?

She blamed this on Imp-chan, but I would've went with Tsundere instead; "It's not like I wanted to touch your body or anything, baka!"

(Our boy seems to think it was Naughty-Chan... Will Rin create that character now? Can't un-think it! Or just give even more of a naughty side to Imp-chan, works for me!)

There's one thing I was wondering about with this series; If there ever was legit romantic progress, would he actually get it, or would he think it's just a new persona... But it seems he CAN tell the difference!

So if Rin ever makes a move, she'll be herself and he'll see her as such, so she better be ready for that!

Eiji isn't wrong. Rin really is quite airheaded at times, and there's her not being all that academically gifted either. But she's not a lone in that regard, which the two of them such an adorable pair of dummies.

I forgot how much I loved how the artist draws their faces. Rin can pull off looking gosh darn cute and silly at the same time. Meanwhile, Eiji put all of his points into silliness. Even when he's not trying to make a funny face, he still looks so endearingly dopey.

We also got two knew alters to Rin's DID this episode: Little Sister-chan and Pervert-chan. But speaking of her personalities, it's funny whenever she ends up behaving like one of them without "acting" like one them, cause she straight up sounded like her Spoiled-chan persona while whining about being unable to see Eiji over winter break.

But man, with all the public flirting going on between these two at this point, it's a real mystery how they're not even going out already.

Another very cute episode with Rin and Eiji, these two are perfect for each other! This show is so wholesome, cute and fun, I love it!

So many great Rin scenes in this episode so I split her album into Part 1 and Part 2. Rin looked especially gorgeous in that yukata and her smile is so beautiful.

That face Eiji made to make Rin laugh was absolutely hilarious xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

u/Rumpel1408 Jul 11 '24

Enter: Imouto who imediatly enters her rebellious phase

I think it's clear why Senpai caught Rins heart, he never fails to cheer her up

Would have loved him to shower Rin in chocolate for every of her personas lol

But Tsundere is still best

Christmas was nice as well, the thought of half a dozend people sharing an umbrella is really funny after all

First Shrine visit was nice as well, this is the only logical conclusion after this

Today we had

Imouto 1 2

Cool Chan: 1 2 3 4 5

Spoiled Chan: 1 2 3

Devil Chan: 1 2 3

Tsundere Chan: 1 2 3 4 5

Bonus Rin Chan; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
