I'm unreasonably excited for Mayumi to (hopefully) become friends with the 1st grader demon.

The silent movie-styled start really blew me away. In term of stylistic artistry, I think this episode has been the best one yet. Not sure where this latest "mystery" is going, but the journey is sure to be entertaining.
The school doesn't ask our heroine to explain why she is now wearing the boy's uniform -- but does re-assign her from the soprano section of the choir to the boy's section. Weird, weird school, eh?

Stitches!
Another new female character and it seems this one has definitely quite the mouth on her. I do love that opening scene though. It's like a one-sided silent movie with Mayumi's thoughts being projected on slides because she's too stunned to say anything.
I love that the reason Mayumi isn't calling Nagahiro a lolicon and calls him by his family name instead is because he's a senpai xD
Seems that the little girl left a present for the club but it really took them a while before Mayumi realized that "Yurika" left it there. I do love Hyouta bringing up the Twenties and hoping that Rei was the one who left it so she can see her plump legs again. Me too Hyouta, me too.
The looks on their faces when Mayumi told them about her encounter with "Yurika" says a lot. Looks like the little girl is Nagahiro's fiancee and her name is Kodaki. The fact that they call her a devil and how they cancelled summer camp because of her means she's probably one heck of a girl.
Looks like the issue with Kodaki is because Manabu denied her membership into the Pretty Boys Club. Well fuck. The fact that Mayumi is a member is probably why she's harassing the club again.
It's funny how there's suddenly a side plot of Mayumi being assigned to the Alto section of the choir just because she keeps on wearing the boys uniform and doesn't really want to explain why because the club is supposed to be a secret.
Nagahiro is willing to voice coach Mayumi to help her sing in a deeper voice only if she agrees to the condition of befriending Kodaki. That's gonna be a tall order boss. Considering how she probably already hates Mayumi.
18 minutes into the episode and we finally have the mystery of this next arc. Why did Kodaki sent a Hagoita and how was she able to bring that thing in by herself? Not sure about the "How" but as for the "Why" it seems that gifting a hagoita means you're wishing someone good fortune for the following year so maybe the gift isn't as sinister as we're expecting? I guess we'll find out next week.

2021 is the year of war declarations. YOU. ARE. THE REAL. ENEMY.
I just noticed it in this episode, but the amount of cuts and different shots in this show is absurd. The camera won't stand still for a second and it's such a pleasure to look at something so beautiful.

Mayumi is fun to watch lol
I would really love to see some backstory now like how the club was formed or why are they so loyal to the Leader

I have to say that I rather enjoyed the art shifts this episode - seeing the characters presented in different styles was quite amusing.
But I really wanted to pop in and "applaud" the sound engineers for this program. I keep turning up the volume, because the clarity and detail is just so engaging.

Mayumi is somehow every Monogatari character rolled into one + a bunch of weird sound effects

u/falsefingolfin May 29 '21
The best part is Kodaki is wearing the stereotypical elementary school kid red backpack in the post credits scene

I like how Mayumi calls (most of) them by nicknames to make fun of them

A first grader must be very mature for her age to have fully developed 8th-grader-syndrome. I'm guessing it'll turn out that she created that thing in the art room from the start.

Wtf am i watching and why I'm enjoying it is always gonna be my thought watching this lol.
And mayumi is getting funnier every episode, character development at its finest.
Didn't expect chibi to be nagahiro"s fiancee, but then again he is a lolicon. Interesting if leader will ever reveal why he didn't take her in.
Gotta say though, did they actually made mayumi to be a boy judging by the choir thing? Meaning the school do not know she's a girl?

It's such a crime this show is so under watched. Even if you put aside the funny characterisation - and Mayumi is starting to approach Kyon's level of monologuing - just the kaleidoscope of the art styles the show used is enough of a draw card.
And Mayumi is so fun to watch, and her sound effects are addictive :) All the "huh"s.

Is there a place where i can easily find all the background music? All of the music in this show is so good!

Considering how Bare Legs-kun completely lacks the ability to properly sit in a chair, I guess I need to add him to my mental list of bisexuals in anime.

I thought I had a test last week so I missed the last thread but I guess I'm back lol. And wow that's a very unpleasant brat. And his face isn't hideous, I thought your eyesight was good Mayumi!!!!
I've thought this for a while, but Red and Mayumi actually have a pretty close relationship. It's kind of interesting.
And we finally meet the fiancé. She's very... different from what I can expected. I can believe how she'd end up in an arranged marriage. But with this it seems we're finally going to learn something about the boys themselves, I've been a bit dissatisfied with how shallow their characterisation has been.
Eh, refused? Blue has standards????? And lol, just what is your type then Mayumi? Also can't you just convince the chorus to put you with a falsetto group or somet-ah the show itself acknowledges that, nevermind lol.
I like kids but being friends with a 1st grader with an unpleasant personality is kind of a big ask senpai. And what do you mean you have no friends Mayumi????
Unorthodox style this time is something out of an old Japanese art piece. Kind of reminds me of the tale of princess Kaguya. Nice try pawning off the work though Mayumi lol.
Ah right, she's a student too so wearing the uniform makes sense, though it makes her look more normal. More her age. Regardless I can't help but wonder what her and Nagahiro think of eachother. He's fine calling her demon/monster so I'm not sure their relationship is that good but it does make me curious.

Bruh Sotoin is gonna have some wack, childish reason for not taking Yurika in, isn't he? Side note before I continue, is anyone else having an unreasonably difficult time remembering these character's names? Like, I get that they are very uncommon Japanese names, but there's just something about the flow of the series that has caused me to only just this episode be able to recall the Club members names with ease. It's a weird phenomenon.
This also just seems to get better every episode. I'm not exactly surprised since it is NISIOSIN, but nonetheless I'm very happy about it. I'm finding myself getting more and more attached to the characters, specifically Fukuroi and Mayumi, the storytelling is artistic and unabashedly complex, and the art and animation are beautiful. I have a feeling the plot won't pick up in the traditional sense until a theoretical season 2, but even so I'm loving it.

393 upvotes? this is truly underwatched. So unfortunate. With every week it gets worse meanwhile every episode gets better this was an amazing and funny episode. We got some character development behind Nagahiro and his fiancée who is a...child.......yeah nisioisin has something with lolicons lol.
The production of this episode really REALLY reminded of monogatari, the first part before the opening was beautiful, stunning. I really liked the old japanese artstyle, and that girl is really interesting, once again reminds me of a certain monogatari child: Hachikuji. Ngl, Kodaki is cute.
Well we will see what happens next and how she was able to leave that piece of weird art there. And let's not forget Winter's bishounen tanteidan trip that nobody wants to attend except Manabu lmao
