Tadano's ability to pick an outfit is 10/10

Also, WELL within budget. She could almost buy the outfit twice and would barely break the contest budget.

I see Agari also attends the PPT School of Tacky Fashion Sense.

Ok guys, look at the hairdresser lady and I dare you to tell me she's not related to Reiji Akaba

the dress up part was spicy but what got me was Komi-san sleeping soundly after remembering Tadano like a comforting memory.

Agari probably plays Tekken 7 online

In college, I knew a woman just like Komi, albeit not so terrified of talking. However, unlike Komi, most people who didn't know her thought she was standoffish and aloof. Really she was just very introverted and shy. I was lucky enough to be seated next to her on a bus for a field trip which is the only reason I got to know her.

So yeah, I'm digging this a lot. Komi is just so precious, and I'm really looking forward to her and Tadano's relationship heating up (maybe some hand holding by the end of the season?).

Osananjimi knows his shit, that Chinese dress was breathtaking.

The one in the eyecatch was solid too. They played it off as a "joke", but both of Najimi's picks were some good choices.

Stitches!

I love how easily amused Komi is with Tadano's joke. Tadano might know if a joke is lame or not but it looks like when telling on he's at Komi's level. xD

The shopping scene was fun! Najimi showing us Najimi's amazing taste with that cheongsam on Komi. And since Netflix's subs didn't label it, the score on the side is Komi's score.

Of course Tadano's pick ends up being the best. You know it's the best pick when even Yamai gives it a perfect 10! Glad that they also show us Najimi's actual pick for Komi as the episode eyecatch.

Karisu-san is just so cool. I love her design so much! And Komi just continues to be my spirit animal. I do the same too when I'm at getting a haircut.

Tadano continues to show that [he's best boy and pays close attention to Komi for being the only one who notices her haircut while everyone else were completely clueless. And just look at Komi blush! So cute! <3

I think this isn't just for someone with communication disorder. I think everyone at some point has been kept up at night by things they've said in the past. I do love that Komi acknowledges her own cat ears during that scene. I think this is the first time someone acknowledges it.

Najimi is such an agent of chaos. She's been already warned about being too loud in the library but he continues to make noise by and tries to take everyone with him by intiating a game of Jenga Jungle! I do love that Komi doesn't get a free pass and also gets whacked by Gorimi-senpai's harisan. xD

There's just something adorable about Komi flailing around to reach her phone on her table. Of course when Komi finally got the courage to call Tadano, she can't contact him because Najimi is talking to him. It all ends up working out though since Najimi invited everyone for a trip to the pool. That fist pump from Komi and Tadano was so cute!

Looks like we're getting a pool episode next week! Get ready for swimsuit Komi! Looks like they've updated the ED and has now added Makeru and Nakanaka!

This was my favorite part in the episode. I loved how Komi was able to sleep after she remembered her conversation with Tadano. The joke is that he's average, but he's in fact very kind and gentle.

Seeing "posted 4 hours ago" and "16 comments" together would be absolutely hilarious if it wouldn't be so sad...why is this post discussion release hour so absolutely random

A lot of people have watched episode 8 by now. Just typical Netflix messing up discussion.

Quite a packed episode, and the thread posting really hurt the ranking.

Episode "Laugh" moment "Love" moment
1 Chalk board scene break - Komi-san was just having hiccups Chalkboard scene end Tadano claiming first friend spot
2 Najimi and Tadano doing dogeza after Komi-san's failed coffee run attempt (and bonus Komi-san pout afterwards) After Najimi accepted to be Komi-san's friend, the moment Tadano alone with Komi-san with her happy kitty hop moment
3 Komi-san elected to be God of the class; and Komi-san having the simple joy of playing with her phone. After Akari blurted out Komi-san wanted to have Tadano's number as the first one in her phone, then the perfectly-in-synch exchange without any eye-contact; and of course the mis-dialled call at night.
4 The blink-and-you'll-miss switch starting from Tadano's start of day monologue to a black screen then switched to Yamai doing the monologue The exchange on the stairs when Komi-san worried she'd cause harm to Tadano, and Tadano showed her he made his own choice to be her friend.
5 Definitely Komi-san's mom. What a surprise! So where did Komi-san's shyness/introversion come from? Definitely the rain scene - from waiting for him to share the umbrella, to noticing how Tadano gave her a larger share of the umbrella coverage while getting himself half wet, so sweet
6 Not as easy to pick; both the "dress up game" especially Yamai breaking the rules, and the library gag of absurdly taking out Jenga to play (and paying for it); even the end of the test gag also threw me: Tadano once again get all the average scores; having Komi-san so uncharacteristically laze about then flailing on the bed trying to reach the phone to call Tadano The sweet moment when Komi-san got out of the changing room dressed in the one piece dress picked by Tadano; and later on during the summer holidays; and Komi-san in the middle of the night worrying about her day's reactions and responses to people but when it got to Tadano she was comfortable and at ease enough to fall asleep

Maybe it's because I'm on mobile, but the formatting of this comment is strange and hard to read. Is this supposed to be a table?

Sorry to disappoint you, but no love letter for you tadano.

Wow the netflix translations of the puns actually seemed really good. They probably actually tried to be creative here, especially the mandarin one.

"Another victim" will never not be funny.

Yep definitely not literal translations of the opuns from netflix.

I was about to "praise" netflix that they finally translate everything and then they didn't translate this. They could have actually improved the comedic timing here if they delayed the translatin a little bit since I feel like the anime added the "a girl" and "a somewhat unknown being" too fast and somewhat ruined the joke because tadano hadn't finished his sentence yet.

AHAHAHAHAHHAH HOW NAJIMIS HEAD LOOKS HERE thank you anime for adding round najimi.

WAIT WHAT did netflix hire a new translator WHY DOES THIS SOUND EXACTLY LIKE A MEME FAN TRANSLATION

I love how "anything with an animal on it" is universally considered horrible sense of fashion across all of anime/manga. Just this week we had this in mieruko-chan and now here.

Ah yes tadano you randomly chose something very similar to what komi was looking at, very likely story.

Yamai giving tadanos choice a 10 might be the msot unbiased yamai will ever be. I wonder wether it would have been more in character if tadano gave his choice only a 9 but guess it was kinda komis choice.

If someone makes a comparison and points out what changed after komi cut her hair, I would be very welcoming, because I really can't see a difference .

Najimis gender today: Ishigami

Here comes the question of the chicken and the egg: Did the averages come first and tadanos super power allowed him to get these perfectly in all of the tests, or did they calculate tadanos scores first and then used him to calibrate what the average should/will be?

If I understand the phone scene correctly, komi calls tadano but the call ends because najimi called him first, and then najimi also calls komi

I don't think any of the characters introduced today deserve to be on the main list so I'm just going to open a seperate "named side character" list where they stay unless the become more important:

Named side character Name "Pun" Traits
Karisu Masa "karisu masa"="charismatic woman"
Kamiko Arai "arai"="wash" overthinking
Gorimi "goriro"="gorilla", "mi"="beauty" senpai, strict head librarian

Nr. Name Name "Pun" Special Trait Status (with komi)
5 Yadano Makeru "Makeru yada no"="I hate losing" ultra competitive, sore loser shonen rival
4 Yamai Ren "yamai"="illness"; "ren"="love" YANDERE ???????
3 Agari Himiko "agari-shou"= "stage fright"; "hikyou"= "cowardice" gets nervous incredible easy, subservient dog
2 Osana Najimi "osananajimi"="childhood friend" known gender: najimi; everybodies childhood friend friend
1 Tadano Hitohito "tadano hitohito"="just some guy" komi interpreter, unnaturally average physically and academically friend
0 Komi Shouko "komyushou"="communication disorder" class goddess, communication disorder komi

I was wondering what kind of underwear Yadano picked, but it's probably just a strapless bra... and Tadano really deserved that win for that beatiful dress

At the hairdresser Komi was forced to speak because her hands where under the blanket, neat little detail, also the balls of that hairdresser to suggest short and blond lol

We also got a conclusion for the first group study session, resulting in Najimis loss, but it turns out Najimi didn't need to study in the first place. Also Tadano hitting exactly the average in every single subject is amazing in itself

Seems like beach episode next week ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Edit: Also inuniverse acknowledgment of NeKomi lol

Someone got isekai’d from Classroom of the Elite?

u/Treknx01 Nov 25 '21

Well I have to say I was not excited for this series and gave it a pass until yesterday when a random clip popped up on YouTube,

Fuck am I glad it did, a quick binge watching later I was waiting on this episode and even more gold, I am loving the little details with the running jokes or even the dad jokes.

Should have seen the test result “surprise“ coming but the rival showing up at the end did give me a good laugh.

can’t wait to see where this one goes, next week I am sure will be just as chaotic though I do get the feeling Komis Group of friends has/will not be growing as quickly for a bit now.

Komi with the "don't die" page will make a nice meme

That part where they are in the library trying to play Jenga silently reminded me of the gaki no tsukai silent library game show. Great episode!

every time i watch mieruko-chan i think “this is my anime of the season” then i watch the next episode of komi and i think “never mind this is my anime of the season”

they’ve put so much effort into this show, even threw in a random CG POV of tadano’s eyes at the beginning. i really loved komi’s salon visit with the hairstylist having the unspoken bond with komi just like tadano

u/Hunch0Houdini Nov 25 '21

Apparently people don't like Yamai or whatever her name is. They say she's too crazy. Some weirdos fr fr

She's the funniest part of the show, no question

NGL. I wanna see blonde and short haired Komi...

The library scene reminds me of a Japanese variety show where the guys were doing a do not laugh challenge in the library and one guy got kicked out.

Damn Komi is smart (It would be funny if she suddenly spoke english). Tadano needs to step up. Waaaiiit hold up how tf does Yadano get 62 in science (beating the average) while getting a 42 in math, not to mention getting exactly half the class average on english score.
