She is a protagonist in a shojo series that is like 95% fluffy bunnies, flowers, and sparkles, you're asking a bit much for her not to have a Standard Squeaky Shojo Voice

I'm loving the fact that Take and Yamato are equally autistic weirdos and that the only reason they don't break up over silly misunderstandings is that Suna is a world class bro

Also that training montage :allears:

It's difficult for people to accept this series is all about diffusing otherwise standard ~dramatic shojo~ tropes. I can't blame them at all considering how prevalent that bullshit is

Suna sitting bolt upright when Takeo asked for a favor as a callback to a previous gag was magnificently done and surprisingly subtle for anime all things considered

And then Takeo's mom breaking out the fancy teacups he's never seen before when meeting his girlfriend for the first time, that's totally 100% a mom thing to do, mine did that with my first girlfriend and my reaction was almost exactly Takeo's :v:

All in all a top-shelf episode

Went to the wiki and just seeing "character status: alive" made me worry.

The animation in this episode was largely garbage, it was super jarring and noticeable when normally their shortcuts were pretty well hidden before. Hopefully that doesn't continue.

I only made it 9 episodes into Chihayafuru but this has been outstanding basically nonstop so I am going to say MLS! is the best show by this team

This episode was the best but the highlight for me had to have been Saijou showing up again. That was just the cap for me, I was so happy.

She showed up and then any hopes of her getting with Suna were dashed by glasses girl :argh:

I liked the episode, it was "realistic" in a way. Not because you like someone they'll like you back. Unless you're in a traditional shoujo anime where you won't know their answer for 26 episodes.
Yeah.

I think in Suna's case he appreciated what a nice girl she was, but was probably put off by how much she put him on a pedestal. Like, major religious figures aren't idolized as much as she did him. Her giving up immediately when she sensed he didn't feel the same at that moment was probably off-putting too. Like you went on one date, and barely talked. Keep at it and maybe it'll work out, chickening out immediately shows a lack of confidence that's super unflattering. This setting aside the whole stalking thing, too.

I don't expect a shojo to go into stuff like that but it was handled pretty well imo

Wow they did a real good job of giving that dude some character development before he poo poo any goodwill down his leg, context lets folks not completely hate him

or at least while hating him, understanding that he's a delusional weirdo who will hopefully get a wake-up call and everything will be hunky-dory for the finale

Also always watch the ED too, it's not as good as the OP but it's still pretty great.

It's ok but I stopped after about 3 times

The one bit of mocap in it at the end really throws me off too

I really liked that the weird rabbit cell phone strap started singing along to the ED song though in the next episode preview

I hear BD sales were really poor, meaning a followup season seems unlikely. And also proving that otaku are the worst with poo poo taste, as usual
