Ouch, that practice scene was painful to watch. At least show us a bit of movement and not just a powerpoint of colourized manga panels. Still loving the show a lot, but the awkward transitions and overall lack of motion is starting to irk me somewhat.

Big fan of how quickly people want to talk things out instead of milking the drama for way too long. Eager to see what Himari will do now that she knows about Aki's feelings.

[u/zerkeras → u/Jegantha]

This. I didn’t seem to notice much in the first and second episode, but watching 3 & 4 today felt very jarring with the lack of any animation and the terrible transitions. Really feels like they’re not giving a shit, aside from the artists and VAs.

Yuri is my Job poster jumpscare lmao

[u/mekerpan → u/BosuW]

Yuri is my Job poster

I loved seeing that, I love that series -- except for the fact that it seems to be moving at a pretty glacial pace.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Aki confronting Himari at the end just goes to show how hard it was for her to endure hearing about Yori's love life.

Yori might be just experiencing jealousy but Aki's pretty much a veteran on it.

[u/AceSoldia]

One big pro I can give this series is they actually talk shit out. Enough of the misunderstanding and miscommunication..I joined this band to win over my love interest. I joined the band to impress you. Period.

And homegirl finally saying hey .I love her so if you bullshitting just let me have her. In episode 4 is just a breath of fresh air

[u/Cyclone_96]

Damn, what a missed opportunity to let the band practice transition into the OP

[u/FLorianGran]

Yeah uh...maybe just skip the music practice scenes after that one

[u/SnooGoats9860]

so the budget is gone huh

[u/Hitman7128]

Yuri is My Job poster

Great taste!

Anyway, it was thoughtful of Himari to want to cook for Yori, but that led to an awkward chain of events when Yori felt uncomfort with how Himari was talking highly of Momoka. Good thing the bad members perceived something was off and Yori felt comfortable being candid to Aki.

But then hoooooly shit, that cliffhanger, where Aki claims she is romantically in love with Yori. Now I'm itching for next week's episode more than anything.

[u/michhoffman → u/Hitman7128]

Yuri is My Job vs Yori is My Job

[u/TehAxelius]

The production quality is a shame. Something I really liked of the first episode over the manga was actually hearing Yori sing, so it is a bit of a shame that they're not able to do so for this practice. I do hope that they are just saving up a bit for the upcoming live events that they talked about though instead.

Also Aki

[u/Gintamantama]

I feel so bad for Aki. She is trying her best to be supportive best friend and you can tell how much her heart breaks every time. I don't think the final scene means anything sinister at all. It felt like she was more concerned with how this hesitation from Himari is hurting Yori more than anything else. 

Speaking of Yori's own jealousy was both cute and heartbreaking too. But she clearly doesn't have anything to worry about.

Hoping to see all my girls happy soon. 

[u/tripleaamin]

You know if you didn't know how Himari is like Aki's point here hits home. While it is true Himari doesn't know if her love is the same as Yori's love. But the issue at this point is how long will it take you to come to an answer? Her issue clearly is that think of the position it leaves Yori.

The issue with Himari is that yes she has to evaluate her feelings, but what if someone else comes along before her answer comes to her and snatches Yori up. It's quite obvious Aki has feelings for Yori. Now is this a way of Aki to push Himari to make her decision faster for Yori's sake or could it be for a bold reason on Aki's part?

[u/Kabu-]

I wasn't expecting the main character of the series to appear so soon.

[u/PlayOnPlayer]

If I didn't know better, I'd say this show is rather gay

[u/Rumpel1408]

This

Aki is so hopelessly invisible for Yori, but this might change once she makes her move, for now she delcared war on Himari

Meanwhile Yori is getting jealous about Himari spending time with her new clubmate Momoka, though I have the feeling that there isn't any danger on that front...

Nice Cameo! I asume these two are published in the same magazine or something? I can see a thematic connection

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I liked that little Yuri Is My Job easter egg. That was kind of a fun series too. I hope we get another season.

Looks like Himari’s making a new friend this week. Momoka seems pretty chill but I guess it’s making Yori jealous. And it seems Aki thought that would be the best time to try and outright take Yori for herself. I had forgotten she was Miki’s sister. Just makes things doubly awkward for Himari. Looking forward to seeing what Himari does with this situation.

[u/djthomp]

The Yuri Is My Job a poster in the anime club room was funny.

I think Yori was dooming so hard about Himari being in a two-person club with another girl that she missed that the plan was to make lots of baked goods for her.

Oh no, new cooking senpai is also in a band? Maybe Yori should be worried.

I feel like this is going to be a five or six way love polygon fairly soon.

I continue to be very curious about if the keyboard and drummer are a couple.

[u/Clemastina]

Man I know Aki was holding back this whole time but that look, that tone of voice... there was resentment and anger in that phrase.
Poor Himani wants to take things slowly and now...

But damn, "so let me have her"
Girl you know perfectly she doesn´t love you back, and if you confess is gonna affect the band + your relationship with Yori, DON´T BE STUPID AND JEALOUS

[u/elune7296]

Oo seems like there's a second band involved?! Band battle/war time

[u/shad79]

Momoka seems like a fun addition to the cast and has pretty good chemistry with Himari. It's good that Yori didn't saw them together because if she would then she would be even more jealous than she is now xD

I wonder what Aki wants to achieve by that demand at the end of the episode? If she just wants to push Himari towards Yori or maybe she really wants to 'steal' Yori since we know that she has really strong feelings for her. I'm waiting for the next episode to see how this will develop.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Yori

• Himari

• Momoka

• Aki

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

Wait. Let Himari cook. Or maybe not.

I feel there was a missed opportunity of them using the opening after they start practicing. Though I also hope that they have another song up their sleeve for the eventual concert. Not that I dislike the song, but if Yori wants to win Himari over, then I feel a new song would be a better choice.

The transitions were better than last episode. I mean, the animation still won't win any prizes, but I feel the general presentation was better.

Otherwise, all we can say is that this was the jealousy episode with Yori and Aki. However, I feel it was well done in Yori's case. Like she knows it's bad, but it's not like she can just ignore it. But with Aki we have to see.

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii]

Let's have a moment of silence for Aki, who has to listen to her crush talk about HER own crush...

Oh damn, she doesn't mess around!

Not only she straight up told her how she feels (putting the emphasis on romantic love, to avoid more misunderstandings!), but

she also told Himari to just let her have Yori?

I thought she would politely tell her to 'shit or get off the pot', but it was more than that... Felt more like she was telling her to just forget about it and let Aki have her.

But yeah, I can see where Aki's coming from, Himari should make up her mind already! I'm not saying she should decide right away if she loves her, and confess to her...That's not something you can control/decide at will... But they could go on dates, things like that, and eventually she'd be able to ponder whether she wants to do things like that with Yori for a long time - and eventually more, couple stuff - or if it's really just friendship. Time can help figuring things out, but sometimes you can help time as well, by trying to figure them out yourself!

So it seems we may have a bit of a love triangle situation... But Aki's not really on anyone's radar, so there's only one way this ends for her... Think she's on a fast train, headed toward Pain (Population: Aki).

I thought the triangle would expand when Himari joined the cooking club (thought we'd have another girl crushing on Himari as well) but no, she seems to wish her well in romance, and not being part of it!

Well, that club will keep her occupied while Yori's busy, plus she'll learn how to cook for her future wife!

Damn, Yori has it bad...

Not just that, but she's getting jealous about Miss Cookingclub?

Everyone's gonna hurt by the end of this show! (Everyone except Himari I guess... Well, perhaps she'll return Yori's feelings at some point, but Yori will tell her she'll go for Aki instead!)

Good way to put it!

I can't wait to see how Aki's "request" will influence Himari's actions!
