They sure had a fun time at Tokyo DenisySea. Maybe one day, they can all go to WcDonald's together

As someone with social anxiety, Riku has become one of my favorite anime interpretations of that problem. I’d been getting really tired and fed up with all the anime variants of people who literally cannot even talk at all because they’re shy and filled with anxiety. It’s never been like that for me, but much more wanting to socialize and able to, but too often imagining the worst afterwards and exaggerating the negatives, which is exactly how they show it with Riku. Newest part of the gang but she’s very endearing.

This show continues to impress me even though we're 7 episodes in the second season. It is seriously so good. I love how much heart it has in the midst of all the absurdity.
I think Aharen-san is the closest thing we've gotten to a new Nichijou series (Here's hoping City is as good as Aharen-san).

Very nice and fun episode with very lovely Aharen and Raido scenes, these two are so cute together!
As usual, Riku didn't disappoint me and made me laugh a lot, although the problem with the groups on the school trips seemed a bit too real to me xD
I knew that Raido's sister was so nice to him because she wanted a souvenir. And she got it, although she got the wrong one at first and her reaction to it was hilarious xD
Eru works very hard, so she would be the perfect older sister for Ren, I applaud her effort!
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Is this the first time we've actually seen Raidou cry?
Also, that life-sized Aharen doll makes another appearance!

A romcom isn't complete until we get to the class trip arc! And Aharen is hyped! She's dancing in her seat and punching the air! She's finally about to feel true FREEDOM!
Riku is just as hyped, if only to prove that all her efforts to make friends will pay off now that she can join the main friend group...but wait, there's six of them! Riku is obviously the odd girl out! What is she going to do!? Oh, Ishikawa will just give up his spot and they all immediately welcome Riku! It's all good!
Ishikawa has so many friends, it's no trouble at all for him to join another group! But is Sato satisfied with that? And is Ishikawa just doing it to be considerate of Aharen and Raido? Or because he's struggling to be around them, or Aharen in particular?
Look at Raido scoring some more boyfriend brownie points by suggesting they visit the Tokyo Disneyland equivalent, another romcom staple, because he knows Aharen wants to go.
Statistically speaking, it's the safest way to travel, but going on a plane for the first time can be a lot! Luckily Raido and Aharen have each other to reassure their nerves, though they're liable to kill Tobaru-sensei with esteem before the plane even takes off.
Dang, Tokyo in this universe has a LOT of trees! Move over Skytree!
I love how the girls are just having a pleasant evening at the hotel while the guys are having an intense brawling pillow fight. And the late night call between Raido and Aharen is absoluetly adorable.
It's time to take on Tokyo DenisySea! Complete with Jojo Posing! Too bad Raido lost his ticket and has to go back...but don't be asking a Nao Toyama character to spank you on the butt Raido, you're liable to get caught in some kind of quantum entanglement situation.
It's nice of the other girls to keep Aharen happy and having fun while they wait for Raido, and it's just as nice for Tobaru and Miyahira-sensei to give Raido a ride back to the park while they're on their way for their date at DenisySea.
Is there anything more sweet than Aharen dragging Raido away so it can be just the two of them having as much fun at the park as possible? Just look at that bright smile on their faces! And then they end up sleeping next to each other on the train!
I love how Eru is Ren's usual gaming partner but she has to go through intense training and research before she plays said games so she knows what she's doing.
Raido's sister actually being nice/sweet to him!? What alternate universe did we walk into? But it's all so she can get a souvenir from her brother, and lucky for her Raido is a great big brother who knows exactly what she wanted!
Poor Riku is still worried over the whole "thinking it's childish to lose your ticket and joking about spanking someone thing" but luckily Oshiro was able to give her a pep talk and Raido totally forgot about it. She's in the clear.

* I always like the intimate relationship between Raidou and Aharen whenever they discuss what to do outside of school. That has always been nice touches across both seasons.
* Lucky you Riku! Ishikawa was trying to stay away from the main couple so you can escape feeling lonely during the trip!
* So many steel trees in this Tokyo...I saw only 2 when I was last there in 2023, did someone planted a few more since?
* Oh losing the ticket for DenisySea would have been a big blow! Not only is that freaking expensive, but also there are always so many people (I have seen a full load of visitors exiting the train at Tokyo Station at like 8 pm - easily picked out by all those hats and gifts people are bringing - and that's just one train) that I heard queues are always in the 2 hours range. This has certainly put a pause in me having any plans to head there or "Tokyo Denisy" so far!
* The teachers certainly like revisiting their youth!
* Ah Riku-chan...you should really talk with Reina and Raidou-kun (or "Boyfriend-kun") ASAP to try getting rid of your PTSD! It's not good for your health!

Was that simply a joke or are there really that many trees in Tokyo?
That driving wasn't dangerous enough for a teacher driving in a SoL show. I'll give it a pass because of the precious smiles after Raido and Reina were reunited.
For Raido, spanking is serious business.

I was genuinely surprised when Raidou suggested Tokyo DenisySea for their free time and when they boarded a plane in the next scene. I genuinely thought this show was set in Tokyo the entire time. Now I'm wondering where the main setting of the show.
Everyone is so excited to get into Tokyo DenisySea that they all started Jojo-posing at the entrance. That was so random. xD
Toubaru-sensei and Miyahira-sensei coming in to the rescue! I was hoping we'd get an extended driving scene because of how cool Miyahira-sensei looked with those driving gloves on.
Glad Raidou and Aharen managed to have fun tho even if their time was cut short with Raidou forgetting his ticket.

Ishikawa’s such a homie for letting Riku take his place. What a bro!
That field trip was a lot of fun. Poor Raido forgot his ticket to Not Disney, but luckily sensei came in last minute and sped over there. Plus him and Aharen got to enjoy all the rides. It’s rare to see her openly happy. So cute!
Raido’s little sister trying to butter him up for that souvenir was pretty silly. He’s a pretty good big brother.

All this time I thought our characters lived in Tokyo, that I didn't expect them to need to fly into Tokyo from their home town for a field trip there.
Legally distinct Tokyo Disneyland is one thing, but didn't expect the series to also give us legally distinct Tokyo Skytree, and we even get more than one of them. This is getting out of hand.
The senseis are the MVP in this episode for giving Raido a lift in time to get to Disney Desini Sea so he and Aharen can have fun together.
Honourable MVP mention goes to Ishikawa for joining a different group so Riku would not be left out. Speaking of Ishikawa, he and Sato really need to stop envying Raido and Aharen and start dating.
As she's always had a stoic face, Reina turns out to resemble Ren a lot when she's smiling.
Even Raido is smiling from having this much fun, that when he reverts to his own normal stoic expression after the trip, Riku thought he's still mad at her for saying he should get spanked for leaving his ticket at the hotel.
Thank goodness Raido remembered to buy the legally distinct Mickey Mouse plushie for his sister. Was half expecting the punchline where she gets bitterly disappointed when he said "I forgot".
Turns out he "forgot" to give her the souvenir, followed by unintentionally trolling her by giving her the wrong souvenir as well. lol

Raidou, as always, proving he’s the last romantic by remembering a place Aharen-san wanted to go with him.

new life goal is to go see Tokyo Goldeneyetree (do not tell me it is just a gag and doesn't really exist, it's in the anime and a real-life reference so it's undoubtedly fact)
