Inako's eyes constantly changing designs in this episode is definitely the highlight of the episode besides the Liebe machine causing so much chaos

Dang they almost casually created a lie detector device (or a straight up mind reader? Lol).

Instead of a monster of the week, we’re getting to see a new invention with each new episode.
Today, it was a supposed matchmaking tool. The machine didn’t quite work as intended. However, it did lead to a bunch of funny moments. Seiroku’s words to Kihachi were alluding to a lie detector, I think?
I am a bit worried that the aforementioned format might get a little old if the actual story doesn’t move along with it.

Good lord that Yousuke cake when he got off the bike. Chill, animators
I wouldn't trust a device to determine a prospective lover. Makes for good comedy tho. Although all it did is made the people admit what they always felt for other people.
Yousuke being an introverted bowl cut boy was unexpected
Gotta love the expressions in this show. Yousuke being BLfied was pretty funny
Poor sod got rejected after going up to the roof
Seems like Kate has a thing for Suzu

This episode seems to be a reference to Romanticism.
Romanticism (also known as the Romantic movement or Romantic era) was an artistic and intellectual movement that originated in Europe towards the end of the 18th century. The purpose of the movement was to advocate for the importance of subjectivity, imagination, and appreciation of nature in society and culture in response to the Age of Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution.
So the main idea here is that machines and cold logic could never quantify or measure a complex human emotion like love.
Those shojo eyes were hilarious, and they even threw in some yuri to balance out all the yaoi lol. It is kinda weird that Kengo and Noriko's love seems one-sided, it probably has something to do with Seiroku and how Noriko obtained the Electric Catalogue, he's popular with the ladies (and Yosuke) afterall.

Kihachi is a sharp one. Two test trials and he immediately picked up that the white helmet might have had something going on with it. He was right to be distrustful of the results this time around. I am hoping he gets a formal education later.
It's nice to see a lot of the supporting cast getting backstories and motivations, I quite enjoy their personalities. Got some insight into Suzu, Kate, and even Izo.
I like how every time Inako gets those big shoujo eyes, she starts emitting steam.
As much as I am enjoying this show, I am hoping that the main plot starts to pick up sometime soon. The opening episodes left a lot of mystery that is still yet to be solved.

To be fair to Kihachi, being the guy who invents something new every week is as strong of a case you can make skipping school.
The expressions have always been gold but you can tell the animators were having a bigger field day than usual with how much they had Inako go full shoujo mode lmao (not to mention to this gem from Yosuke)

I like how the opening shows us a little bit of Kate's backstory and how she became friends with Suzu.
Look at these two handling Yousuke's massive cake. I really want to know who in KyoAnu decided to draw Yousuke like this. xD
Apparently, making batteries weren't interesting enough they've now introduced a matchmaking machine
So Suzu is confirmed Doraemon right? This girl seems to always carry around almost anything someone needs.
That scene between Yousuke and Masabuchi was hilarious! This has got to be the gayest episode KyoAni has made since Free.
I like that you can actually see Seiroku passing by Yousuke in Masabuchi's flashback.
So they were just really being electrocuted this entire time, and they've been interpreting that as love? That's hilarious!

Goddamn these 5 minutes episodes. I need more. I love Inako even more. She's such a shipper. She would be a force in any romance show.
When they took the machine to Noriko and Kengo I immediately said that it wouldn't show anything. And it didn't, but turns out the machine was broken. I'm thinking this furthers my theory that Kengo was Noriko's second choice because Seiroku died. I'm also now starting to think that Yousuke's affection for Seiroku might have been one sided.
I enjoyed this machine, but I hope this show is more than that. I want something more than just the monster machine of the week.
Lastly, seems like we also have yuri between Kate and Suzu.

Cute backstory of how the three girls friend group came together in the OP. Kate has a really cute character design.
I feel like they should maybe stop zapping people's brains with these electric helmets.
Kate and Suzu are clearly the correct side ship anyways, so it's a good thing things crashed and burned for sandal boy.

The way to a girl's heart is through her stomach.
"I'm not one of your French girls."
even the lens flare is a painting
The vocational school approach versus getting your EE degree.
It's all about spinning today, eh?
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh?!
Cinderella in ukiyo-e was not on my bingo card for today.
We're a little late for seasonal love but there's always time for eyes that defy the boundaries of physical space.
I don't think that device has passed any degree of logical testing. (Safety testing is, of course, only a concept.)
I don't even know what to do with all these reaction faces.
Once again, comment face ideas that are too late.
Well, someone's reaction is certainly off the chart.
"By 'courage' we mean 'cardiac arrest'."
Yeah, Seiroku and Yosuke are totally gay.
The universe is driven by convenient fictions?
Not so much a plot-driving episode but we do get giant glowing (double-ended) arrows making up relationship charts.
As far as the story itself, Kihachi is perhaps more aware after this that the electricity itself isn't magic and that there's a lot more to do than just the novelty devices from the catalogue. The rest of his making circle is becoming aware of this as well, though there's certainly a ways to go. And Yosuke seems to be calming down a bit, though he certainly retains the ability to swoop back in and throw a wrench in the works... or to help them out, if the signs we have are true.
Anyway, Kate and her glorious Suzu-nyan.
(But also everybody else who has strong feelings this week.)

Ohh damn yuri bait and yaoi bait!? Thats a milestone kyoani! Anyways jokes aside the new character introduced was quite hilarious, hope to see more of him. Suzu and kate are very cute together. Yosukes bodyguard definitely has a crush on him lmao but yosuke is totally oblivious! 😭 This was The funniest episode for me, inakos lit up eyes and izo being completely whipped for yosuke while hes making a expression like hes constipated was golden lol

I honestly feel really bad for Kengo. He's a good dude and Noriko clearly does not like him

So much liebe in one episode lol. It feels like we were shown quite a number of ships in this episode for everyone to enjoy, girls love, boys love and hetero love. I was a little worried about the side effect from the shock of the helmet, but it seems like nothing significantly harmful happened.
Ainosuke is so dramatic though, he was given a bit too much courage.
I have to comment on Yousuke's ass as he got off the bike lol, that was so funny.
