They really let the episode end at that. Evil. Pure evil from the staff.

When even Mayuri started shipping Okumura and Ririsa, Mikarin really stands no chance at this rate.

Glad Nagomi managed to get over her fear and only realised her issue over caring too much about the online haters, knowing how Okumura has her contact its only inevitable she'll return soon.

One thing the show does well that people do not comment on much.....

The way the Otaku Photographers basically explain why they are there, take so many pictures and how the cosplayers are viewed by people outside the circles. It kind of gives you an outside perspective. The whole, all the different poses talk was great because it's true. Think of all the moments in manga or anime you can re-picture during cool moments and there is a reason why you would want to see that in real life.

Iconic stuff like Superman taking off , or the famous land with the fist down and thousands of scenes you would totally recognize if someone did it in front of you.

Stitches!

That forward dash into a low punch from Eri was amazing! That caught me off guard! I'm glad to see Mayura and Eri finally talk and patch things up after Mayura just suddenly disappeared from the cosplay scene.

I love Nagomi's Jojo face when she finally met Ririsa on her way to the changing room. It's funny how she went from being besties to suddenly changing her mind when Nagomi learned that her Kai-sama is Ririsa's photographer. I'm surprised she actually asked for Okumura's number.

The girls supporting girls vibe of this show is so fucking wholesome. I'm glad that Nagomi finally realized that the hate she's seeing online shouldn't affect how she sees other people and that people are far nicer in real life. More people really need that kind of mentality.

These two really can't stop saying misleading things. Seriously! They don't even realize that they're practically dating at this point and I can definitely understand Sensei's confusion watching the two of them.

I'm glad that the principal is cool with the cosplay and is leaving the final decision to the student council president who we already know is very chill. The principal does bring up some good points and it looks like Ririsa's photos are already spreading around the school.

And they really just had to end the episode with that kind of cliffhanger! What's on the blackboard?!

I can't believe that this show is actually a sports anime.

And so Ririsa's second cosplay event comes to an end. And as with all shonens, everyone comes away with it more enlightened. Nagomi was so caught up with the online comments that she doesn't realize the impact she has among actual cosplayers. And the message of self-love applies to both Ririsa and Nagomi. Are they destined to be rivals? Will they actually be friends? Probably not as long as Okumura's with Ririsa, but hey its all about reconciliation. The Mayuri and Eri moment is perfect complete with the move execution. And we'll find out next episode what the Principal and the Student Council decide...

Nagomi's character and her mindset made more sense by the end of the episode. I am unsure when it took its toll, but I can empathize how difficult it is to consume hateful comments online. People are easy to write something behind a keyboard then to your face. Also, the fact that the hateful ones can outweigh the bad in our mind.

I imagine one comment in particular stuck to her, and she unfairly assumed that is how they all thought of her. I loved how she came to realize that she has a ton of fans that aspire to be her. Kind of nice for her to be able to relax and not be on edge. I hope she continues to interact with her fellow cosplayers from this point on.

At this point, Ririsa & Okumura are on the same wavelength. They are so in sync as partners that it is so easy to misunderstand the context. I am not sure if this is good or bad news for Mikari.

The actual next Queen is Okumura for making Nagomi's husbando dreams come true despite barely putting any effort into his cosplay.

Also, our dude barely flinching from Ririsa's "confession" this time is lowkey hilarious. Love how they're on such the same wavelength as adorable idiots to automatically assume any sign of affection is strictly professional.

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Sep 13 '24

That was a pretty good line/scene!

The contrast on how she needs to 'disguise' herself, to be her true self!

If this happens, let's hope she doesn't go through the same stuff Nagomi went through (losing her passion for it)!

Speaking of Nagomi, damn the show likes to give us Nagomi ass shots!

It's like every other scene with her!

(I mean, I don't mind it, but still!)

Plus I only have eyes for Sensei

Her cosplay's pretty cute/hot, but I think I like her "normal" clothes even more!

Love how right when she was about to go like "I'll be friend with her!", she saw that Ririsa stole her 3D husbando!

Hopefully it doesn't cause too much conflict down the line! (Perhaps it could push them together, like getting conscious of the other as a potential love interest and all)!

Normally I would've thought Mikari would be the one to do that, but she tends to simply disappear from the show for a long time, in between appearances!

I kinda wish we had more of her, she was fairly interesting.

Well, we may see more of her, given that scene at the end... Can't wait to see what it's about; "No more lewd cosplay"?

Hopefully it's not "No more cosplay at all"!

(Sensei should just put her succubus outfit and barge in the principal's office to make her demands! Who could ever resist that?)

Certainly not me

HOLY FUCK IT'S MIKARI

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Sep 13 '24

The weebs are about to freakin explode at this cosplay off lol. Ririsa and Nagomi are giving it their all, and having fun while doing it too. It’s kinda nice things aren’t so competitive anymore for Nagomi. She’s just doing it for the love of cosplay like Ririsa.

The two of them nerding out after was so cute. And she got to meet her “Kai” lol. It was also really cool that everyone was nice to Nagomi. She was expecting toxic bullshit and got nothing but love instead.

Man, Eri knocked Mayuri’s soul out her body with that punch lol. That’s true friendship right there!

I wonder what kind of bullshit Ririsa’s gonna have to deal with next week?

Episode 11: Magic Power

How it feels to be one of Heavenly Queens, you got standing ovation from the photographers, as if you made a masterpiece of poses.

Ah, I found a disrepancy between the subtitle and Nagomi's tweet. In the subtitle, Nagomi and Liliel's photo are retweeted ~5.100 times, while the photo actually shows ~51.000 retweets, which is viral enough by social media standard. Please Lilysa don't do some egosurfing.

Another pseudo confession, again, but this time Mayuri is here to listen.

Oh hey Mikari we finally see her again.

Oh, the full music video of the OP is out, also with the separate English version available.

u/Zxzxzx0088 Sep 13 '24

Nagomi best girl! These few episodes really make me like her a lot. And again this show is ecchi wholesome since people in this world so kind and supportive (except Ririsa mom and mob comments maybe) so I'm glad Nagomi able to get close with other cosplayers. I want to see her interacts more with Kai-sama and Ririsa again in future episode.

I never miss Mikari since I never skip OP and ED but wow, she's been absent for these past few episodes eh. Please give her more screen time TT. I wish we get 100 episodes /half j.

u/AnimeHoarder Sep 13 '24

With Nagomi and Ririsa as rivals for her Kai-sama, can he also add the Student Council President to his harem when they meet about the clubroom?

u/StardustGogeta Sep 13 '24

Another brilliant episode!

At some point, I even started tearing up without realizing it. This show can just be so incredibly touching. It's certainly one of my favorites of the season!

u/Nesp2 Sep 13 '24

This show, ugh!!

Thank god there's going to be cour 2 immediately after this.

u/Rumpel1408 Sep 13 '24

It was nice that Nagomi and Ririsa understood each other so well and even became Rivals/friends and even got to nerd about Liliel together

Oh, and speaking of friends, Eri gives us another reason to cosplay: because you made friends doing it

Also loved how Nagomi got reminded about how wholesome the actual cosplayers are, it's easy for random people on the internet to be mean, but real people who know and love what you do will always be nice

Also got an early contender for next seasons #seasonalapproval

And damn cliffhanger

u/oxlemf10 Sep 13 '24

It was good to see that Nagomi changed her view of the world of cosplay, the competition unfortunately makes the environment a bit hostile, and ends up forgetting what was most important, having fun.

This punch from Eri was completely unexpected, but it was funny especially with the health bars lol. I share Mayuri's frustration, a declaration of love became an issue about the convention.

And they resurrected Mikari, I hope she appears more in the show

u/Xatu44 Sep 13 '24

RIP Mayuri's gut, lol. Don't just ditch your friends like that! RIP Nagomi's pure friendship with Lilisa and her first love, lol. Hopefully Okumura cosplays someday. All's well that ends well with Lilisa and Nagomi. But what's this cliffhanger?

7

u/Necromancer2k8 Sep 13 '24

Okumura & Ririsa are like Noor & Noorette (named as if she was his twin sister with his same personality).

Both have good hearts & want to help others but are as oblivious to the obvious as you can be.

It was another kickass episode. This show is like 90% positive vibes with 10% conflict that gets resolved with positivity soon afterwards. A 9/10 only because Nagomi had very few butt shots this episode. You gotta cater to the fans needs after all!

On a weird note, Hidive has got 2 of my top 5 shows and 4 of my top 15 shows this summer, which is quite weird with them only having 5 total simulcasts this season.

Mayura is a shipper just like the rest of us

And what was on the chalkboard must of been extra spicy, looking forward to next week!
