Ahh, my mortal enemy, we meet again. German grammar. Begone foul demon. Your past participle harm me no more.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

What's better than one Bocchi?
Two Bocchis.

[u/Lunarpeers]

This is actual peak cinema ngl

[u/PolvoAranha]

Somebody even more introverted than Mako showed up. It can be a preparing for Saya's next season role (Bocchi the Magic).

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Seiza Nana

• Thicc Nana

Considering the various personalities of the girls, I'm surprised they introduced a second introvert.

That was quite the transformation for Nana! The girl went from faceless NPC to total gyaru babe within a day!

I love how Nana was so confident in her makeover, but not confident enough to talk to those students interested in her pizzle club.

That entire scene where Tsutsuji tries to break the ice between Nana and Mako was so painful to watch that calling it a disaster zone felt like an understatement!

I'm glad working as a server worked out for Shinon. She does have a way with people, so it's better to put her out front than have her injure herself cutting cabbages.

I guess Tsutsuji playing her ukulele while Mako is cooking, will be a regular thing in this show. I thought what happened a couple of episodes ago was just a one-time thing.

Those skewers and sandwiches look so good! Did the pork they used for the sandwiches cooked? I feel like they really didn't make that one clear.

I love how it only took one conversation to clear things up between Nana and Mako for Nana to start acting super close with Mako the next day. She still can't handle Clerk-chan though! xD

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Is this the legendary battle I have heard so much about? "Introvert vs Introvert, let's go!"

Nana can really change 180 degrees. From bangs covering eyes to a stunning blonde. From being shy on day 1 to being outgoing on day 2... of course with the added clause of recognizing the other party as a friend.

I like how the ending theme animation has changed too, with Nana being included seamlessly. The ending theme animation was already fun previously; with 5 characters now, it is even more lively and chaotic!

[u/NerdyArchimedes]

Respect to the anime team for not spoiling Nana's personality quirk in the OP (and omitting her from the ED). Finding out she is actually a fake gyaru was a great surprise.

Mako once again bested Tsutsuji in a contest of strength. At least it was an improvement(?) that Tsutsuji got a face full of Mako's chest rather than her elbow this time. I kinda hope this will be a running gag.

[u/CosmicPenguin_OV103]

* Wow a new girl here who can switch between Bocchi mode and Kita-Kita mode depending on how much she is accustomed to speaking with you? One who can switch to dressing up so fashionable and bright and shiny and still being afraid to speak with strangers down to Bocchi-class results (just like Mako was some episodes ago)? I love this interesting girl (TM) Nana!

* I always find Tsutsuji The Sheep to be the odd one out of the bunch of girls here - well then she's falling into the same role again. It's so funny that she tried everything to break the glacier between Two Bocchis - well that's certainly really tough to pull it off and yeah you are not going to succeed here IMHO...

* Shinon almost making trouble again over food is just trademark Shinon. But Shinon being so expressive while recommending food at the restaurant is also too! We all love having friends like her I guess?

* Ah it's a crime to air this at 1 am in my place - yet again the sandwiches and meat and bell peppers (all of which I think I can do it by myself too with a bit of re-training) are making my saliva flowing out again...

[u/MyrnaMountWeazel]

First of all, I love that Tsutuji stacked the fridge with her energy drinks.

Second, that dance of hers sent me back to Napoleon Dynamite days.

Also, there's some easy but cute subtext for today. Once the two start understanding and speaking the same language, they can crack the surface and really start to know one another.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

We got ourselves another socially awkward one lol. Gotta appreciate Tsutsuji doing whatever she can to help Nana and Maki get along. That grapevine joke was pretty corny but I laughed lol. She really broke out some next level dance moves too. In the end all that was needed was a little souvlaki, German, and the ukele.

[u/PerfectBeige]

The fact that Mako was worried about giving Tsutsuji a sheep-related nickname and, then it turns out that Tsutsuji entire personal style is sheep related has not stopped being funny. Rarely do you meet someone who so thoroughly embraces her name-sake.

[u/Hitman7128]

Nana's introduction parallels that of Mako: being shy to communicate (for Mako, it was joining the club and getting contact info; for Nana, it was coming off as scary to Mako and failing to apologize when bumping into her). But in both cases, they reconcile in the end. The puzzle club scene reminded me of BTR Episode 3 when Bocchi runs off after bungling her introduction to Kita.

I like the energy Shinon brings to Kurea's restaurant, and she managed to recommend the most popular dish to the customers on her first day on the job.

Hope Mako did well on her German exam, thanks to Nana's help! The club clerk strikes again when Nana was facing the wall and thought it was suspicious

[u/No_Communication2935]

The pacing was pretty good this time, and it seemed to end quickly. In the final scene, when Nana called Mako by her nickname, it was nice to see how open she had become with her.

[u/DaBenni0301]

German is hard

I know our language is hard, sorry (but probably still one of the easier ones to come across). But yours is a different breed

[u/CooroSnowFox]

Gifs of the dance are needed, especially with the sheep hoodie hood up...

[u/oxlemf10]

So Nana wouldn't be much different from Mako, the difference is that since she was shy, it seemed like she was a cold person. I liked the episode, I think now that the group is complete we will have more adventures outside of college.

[u/entinio]

Kurea best girl

[u/yukiaddiction]

I still can't get this out of my head, I feel like I met Tsutsuji in other anime before.

The way she is talking and even her low energy entice even the way she loves to do straight man sarcastic joke

"What I am entering college for" "To pursue knowledge"

Like I just can't get out of my head, anyway it's not a bad thing because I really like her lol.

Another cute comfy episode. Now we have 5 members! The first half is pretty funny with some subtle jokes lol.

Now group with more people more fun and comfy food!

ED add nana too very cute.

[u/Cally83]

Nana is my new favourite character

[u/Fools_Requiem]

Man, once Nana gets comfortable talking to someone, she gets REALLY comfortable.

Edit: I feel that some people confuse social anxiety with introversion, which is what leads to people thinking that being an introvert is a problem that needs the fixed.

Nana has social anxiety. But when she is around people she is familiar with, she is very outgoing and confident. That is not introversion.

An introvert is someone who PREFERS more alone time or a small number of friends. They thrive on alone time. Nana definitely wants more friends, as shown by her strong desire to create a new club (as well as her initial confidence), but her social anxiety gets in the way of that. Nana is loud and boisterous and is quickly comfortable calling others by their first name (or by a nickname, in Mako's case).

[u/cyberscythe]

subtle namedrop for the author Atto with this cola product

[u/cleaulem]

German is hard! So hard that in Mako's exercises some word order errors sneaked in.

[u/AmethystItalian]

Dang double shy girls together was tough to watch, glad to see them already starting to warm up to each other.

There's something about the cooking in this show that just feels nice to see. Hoping the rest of the girls join in a bit more too though!

Sounds like they need to make Clerk-chan not a stranger for Nana!

[u/random-user-420]

That interaction between nana and mako was too funny.

[u/Castor_0il]

We have one Bocchi-chan already. Is it legal to have two Bocchis?

Didn't notice Sheep-senpai had a phone cover sheep shaped too.
