Mark of you getting older: wanting to slap all the pieces of shit trying to film a irl only cause she looks gorgeous... frustrating but thankfully has the class hatred for Tadano, it fades with time

It was at this point that the manga grabbed my “interest” (my heart was grabbed a bit later, will be covered in this episode)

Actually... probably THAT’s the reason Ninja Guy (Shinobino) is my favorite C-tier character... which reminds me

KOMI NOISE(S)!

Also

Komi (internally): He gave me back the eraser, finally an opportunity to talk to him! I just need... to... grab... his... attention... oh fudge

HOLY SHIT! love how hard the music is going at this moment, not for Shinobino’s attack, but due to Komi’s attempt to talk xD

NOTICE ME SENPAI

OH! actually @biscuit-thebloggingpastry said something similar in the ask and I can understand it better now, thanks

... I could also be a pedantic asshole and say shounen is more a demographic that a genre but nah, Shounen while varied IS a specific thing so it can count as a genre

The REAL question now is... WHERE'S KOMI-SAN'S TOURNAMENT ARC!?!?!!? WE CAN'T HAVE A SHOUNEN WITHOUT A TOURNAMENT ARC!!!!

THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF KITTY CAT KOMI!

Included with cat like behaviour, that’s new... wait IT WASNT?!?!?! Huh...

This YES... means “no” as in “no one else has realized Komi has problems to communicate”... *sigh* I think my rant will be saved for AFTER the episode, specially considering it will ruin what I expect to be a beautiful scene

HA! They went full pokemon as expected (okay generic JRPG is more accurate but still)

... of all the coprotagonists possible we had to get the one who has a “getting bind” fetish? Glad this is his lesser known stuff... BUT STILL WTF xD

And so Komi san explanation of her problem begins... and honestly I love it. 

This is the only like “animated” scene (panel?) of this segment. And it’s basically Tadano mentally recontextualizing Komi-san’s expressions trought the episode.

(there is something else, but needs its own small post)

I know this story... I saw this story long ago... and it’s hitting me all over again thanks to the music, the sound of the chalk hitting the boards... Komi doesnt CRY here... but at one point the chalk even fall like she WAS tearing up... 1000/10

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Am I gonna liveblog an adaptation of a manga I’m reading? yes

Will it feel repetitive? probably

Do I care? ... you know the answer :D

Anyway stuff to point out from the PV alone?

The beautiful with the silly blend very, very well

Oh there’s a female narrator... I will NOT start speculation on who it is is totally grandma Shouko from the fut*BONK*

Najimi’s voice? 10/10

THAT’S YAMAI’S VOICE!?!?!??! PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT... I dunno it just feels so weird...that AND her hair color (for some reaosn I was expecting blonde?)

Agari and Nakanaka? Nice voices

WHERE’S YADANO!?!?!?!?!?!

You can see we shall have plentiful shenanigans and I love that!

I wonder how long will it go... only time will tell...

and lastly most important thing?

NINJA GUY!

(yes, its in the proper order)

In a way I should find a bit insulting they treat individuality as something scary... on the other hand the point is: EVERYONE HERE IS WEIRD IN HER OWN WAY... and for someone with communication disorder AND the goal of 100 friends... yeaaaaaaaah... might be hard

Mmmm... okay time to play

SPOT. THE. CHARACTER.

Najimi “Chaos Entity” Osana

Yamai “Yabai” Ren

Nakanaka The designated Chuunibyou

Oh this one got earlier introduction? I don’t officially know them... only that the small one is I think Kometani (I call him Not!Oda for 4th wall reasons) and the tall one I have no clue... although while typing this I have this weird flashback involving a shower... *shivers* (context probably soon for my manga reactions?)

Agari The Noodle Master and/or The OH GOD WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS!?!?!?!

APPLEJACK! Inaka The Country Bumpkin

Yadano “My dumbass daughter” Makeru

UNDYNE... no, I don’t remember her name

AND WHAT IS THIS SHOUNEN BULLSHIT POSTER!?!?!?!?!! 

We have Shinobino NINJA GUY!

and... mmm... The only one I think I know is Otaku (Not an Otaku) and I only know him cause I just liveblogged the chapte rhe shows up

(also considering all the menaces showing up... I know SHE wont appear this season but I was hoping at least a shadowy cameo?)

ANYWAY... in the end, with all this said, one thing is clear...

What can I say about the overall scene? I mean... I read the chapter on March 9th 2019... all those years ago? The fact that Tadano made that gesture and that lead into them having a conversation on a chalkboard? It was simple inspiring and awe inducing

Seeing this scene today?

Maybe it’s cause I’m a softie (cause I am)

Maybe it’s for the musical score (it definitely help)

Maybe it’s for the fact that they actually basically do a change in that the music keeps going and we don’t hear Tadano talk at all (which now in hindsight off course he wasn’t talking back then I was just dumb)

Whatever of those “maybes” mean it doesnt matter... what matter is that this scene just made me happily sob and kinda made me fall in love with these two once again... I’m glad I’m watching this and that’s all it should matter

I was gonna rant later... then thought to do it here... but honestly? It doesn’t really matter. Whoever wants to be salty about how this scene was subtittled? They’re free to do so... the important isn’t what is said in there.

It’s that’s a conversation between two friends :)
