I Failed At Anime 2022

Agronox posted:

I wonder why Osaragi is smiling at the end there like that.

Osaragi has always been wary about Iino developing a crush on Ishigami, she doesn't really ship the two of them and presumably worries that it might end up breaking Iino's heart or whatever. As a result she's generally shown more approval of Ishigami x Tsubame.

As such, Ishigami acting on his interests and working up the nerve to ask Tsubame out is in line with her wishes.

EDIT: A good amount of context can be found in that chapter where she and Rei visit Iino's house.

There are mixed messages re: Ishigami and Iino. On one hand, in the real world they would probably be a bad pairing given Iino's issues (though so would literally any pairing on Iino's end, and at least Ishigami is a decent person), but on the other hand the story seems to have emphasized that 1. Ishigami cares for Iino and 2. they share interests and actually get along well when Ishigami acts nice. I'm not sure if I agree with the "Iino likes Ishigami because he's like Snape" thing, since she doesnt seem to actually like him being prickly and was happy when he was nicer.

The way I read it is that, after the advice from Papagane, Tsubame's decided to give Ishigami's feelings a shot and at least treat them with serious respect. How it'll turn out is a mystery.

Iino and possibly the rest of the StuCo are gonna shadow Ishigami's date though.

With one hand he saves gebs. With the other he commits goblin genocide. A true neutral.

It's rough being a single mother. Doubly so when your kid enters their rebellious teenager phase.

The worst of it is that, yes, Prez is an atrocious learner on anything not academia-related, but she could've just walked away.

Walk away, Fujiwara! Break the cycle of self-abuse. Let the doofus Prez be awful.

It's one thing to be awful at something, but it's another to be so atrocious that your friend's standards are lowered to the point where an ant has to crouch to walk under them.

I thought Onodera's (somewhat) wide-eyed reaction to Ishigami's prowess was interesting too. Sometimes she seems like the kuudere friend who eventually reveals that she liked the guy the whole time, but only after it's too late.

Okay, fair.

Also it's hilarious that most characters seem to be getting some development going forward (like the Prez and Kaguya allowing themselves to show vulnerability with each other), but Chika just seems to be actively getting worse as a person.

At this point I think they make Fujiwara be vile because we'd feel bad for her otherwise.

I've downgraded Onodera to 'observer status' ever since her chapter w/ Kaguya where she admitted she used to blindly spread nasty rumors and even poo poo-talked both Iino & Ishigami behind their backs. It feels like since then, she has stakes in both characters' happiness and sees the possibility of them being a good couple, the opposite of Osaragi

you're right on the first one. For the second the kana say mariaju, so I think it's Marriage (of Kaguya and cat ears)

I mean, I haven't read the raw version, but from the phrasing Ai-chan is using she more or less knew it was in the cards. Still probably hurts, since Kaguya is more or less like her little sister.
