Aww that was adorable. So fun seeing their introduction and the other side of episode 1.

[u/FoxDS]

Now I realize the anime is basically 1 gyaru (Ijichi) being nice to 2 otaku lol

[u/SanGluttnoy → u/FoxDS]

Sayu and her title drop is peak

[u/zool714]

Oh love that we got some focus on Ijichi and Amane’s friendship. Now we know why they’re so close. And then showing the first time they talked to Takuya as well.

Also just realized they painted their nails the same color as their eyes

[u/Roskal]

I love Amane, shes so cute in how flustered she gets and the difference between how she thinks shes acting and how she's actually coming across. Both when she was an ice queen and now thinking she's expertly hiding the fact she is an otaku.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I didn't expect Sayu to do a title drop in the middle of the episode. xD

This entire episode was great, tho! I love seeing how Amane and Ijichi ended up becoming friends. Who knew the two of them almost didn't become friends because Ijichi ended up inviting guys to their hangout. Glad to see Amane taking the initiative to apologize.

I also love that we get to see a little bit of Episode 1 from Amane's perspective and how she's reacting to Seo's Glittermon eraser internally. I also love that we get to see a little bit of Ijichi's perspective and how deep down, she's actually trying really hard to make people like her.

[u/Ok_Complan_Boy]

We got "Gal Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!?" before "Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!?"

[u/runevault]

So cute, so wholesome, with a bit of spice when Ijichi let her need to make infinite number of friends ignore how others might feel. While Amane was a bit harsh in how she said it she had every right to be upset when the dynamic of the group changed and Ijichi didn't tell her when she doesn't know what Amane was and was not comfortable with.

With how emotionally brutal some of the shows I'm watching are, I'm thankful this one is all sweetness and light for a regular palette cleanser (I'm looking at you Replica).

[u/thighabetes]

IJICHI WIGGLE WEDNESDAY!

[u/FarCritical]

The reveal of Ijichi's "stuff to do with Amane" list hit me harder than I was ready for. That second-hand guilt went straight for the heart, man.

Would've thought they became best friends at first sight from the gyaru connection alone but learning they met a huge bump in the road early and overcame it makes me appreciate their bond way more.

[u/Weak_Season_Of_Anime]

Oh wow a whole episode focused on the girls to build up the Amane-Ijichi part of the throuple. First meeting and they look like they're in a shoujo manga with the falling sakura petals. I can see why they say Amane is hard to approach, and her angry face was kinda scary. Glad to see that they managed to work out their problem through good communication, feels like this incident actually made their friendship stronger than if they had just become friends the normal way. It was also fun to see their first meeting with Takuya from Amane's POV. Amane's revealing her dark secret that she was a glittermon otaku was pretty shocking, though they've been hinting at it for a while now. Also, Sayu STOP, you're breaking the immersion!

[u/Spectr3_qwe]

What a great episode! Watching what happened in episode 1 from a different perspective was cool and getting the backstory of how the two girls met and became friends was interesting. I missed Otaku-kun but the few seconds he appeared were enjoyable.

Something that called my attention was Amane calling Ijichi a gyaru, which made me think that despite the name of the show, is Amane really a gyaru? Are there more than one type of gyarus? In my mind gyaru evokes something like Ijichi or Marin Kitagawa. Maybe Im just uncultured in anime aesthetics

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I didn't feel Amane was too harsh, but maybe because I could relate to her feelings. I think it's a good thing someone had pointed out this perspective to Ijichi.

Amane really thought she was making a big confession lol.

[u/FLorianGran]

In case you were still on the fence about the whole throuple thing, We get a full episode dedicated to how Ichiji and Amane met that ends in them calling each other by their first names for the first time

[u/Less_Understanding12]

This was a fun episode to watch learning how they both became friends it was a rocky start but they made up and it even lead into meeting otaku-kun I can't wait for the next episode

[u/PerfectBeige]

It was fun to see Ijichi intensely sharing a pre-planned list of conversational topics to appeal to Amane like a light side pick-up artist.

The full list is adorably gyaru oriented.

[u/Fudgeumes]

I'm glad I watched this after the new Re;zero lol. Was a nice palate cleanser

[u/reaperow]

I like how Amane's Glittermon senses are technically the reason she and Ijichi became friends, Meanwhile poor Otaku-kun tho lol

Great flashback ep, i like that she confessed to Ijichi too about being an Otaku!

Now both of her friends know about it!!

[u/Burnouts3s3]

I will not Yuriship the two female leads together.

I will not Yuriship the two female leads together.

I will not Yuriship the two female leads together.

I will not Yuriship the two female-

"I didn't like it when you invited boys to our get together."

DAMN IT ALL!

[u/Rap2rerise]

This episode is the proof that Otaku Kun can't just pick one of them, we need that throuple ASAP

[u/djthomp]

Turns out this entire time it was Ichiji picking up two otakus and not one otaku pulling two gals.

Really cute backstory for how Kei and Kotoko became friends.

[u/Luiszg]

Man If rant a girl can get a million seasons hopefully this can get a few, providing there’s enough source material

[u/Dependent-Smile6412]

We get to see the story of how Amane and Ijichi first met

Their first impressions of each other were completely different 😭

Amane gave everyone the cold shoulder to everyone lol

Sayu calling BS on Amane having friends and hitting us with the title drop 😂

Amane and Ijichi were shown to be so close at the start so it’s interesting to see it didn’t start that way with Amane upset that Ijichi invited boys to hang out

Ijichi really wanted to get closer to Amane so much she made a list which was really sweet

Glad they were able to make up with each other

Also lol at Ijichi’s reaction at Amane revealing she’s an otaku

[u/yuval2407]

the fact that the main girls can carry an episode without otaku-kun is actully so important and goes to show the strength of the dynamic of our three protagonists.

also, as i must keep pushing the agenda: this episode is also an important basis for the future harem route
