"If the one who falls in love loses, then he has already lost a long time ago" "Someone like that... even if she is covered in mud, she is truly beautiful"   A special episode of a very special anime. The beginning of it all. We finally get the origin story of this story and, surpassing all expectations, it is one hell of a banger. Glimpsing into the past, we were finally shown adamantine bestest boy Miyuki's origination and bestest girl Kaguya's royal demeanor at peak in full force. The second-best episode of Kaguya-sama franchise... until now, and one for the history books. Start taking notes other writers, this is how you write a masterpiece. Sheer perfection. Now we go higher, higher than the Everest, blazing through the stratosphere, finally to the fucking moon. I already feel it, feel it coming. It's going to be orgasmic. AotY 2022 P.S. Maki Shijo is love <3 |

| The outfits this episode were great, especially with Hayasaka's look. Not going to lie but I found the tea scenes to be highly entertaining despite the pressure put on Kaguya. Episode definitely had its fun moments outside of Kaguya's segments too including Ishigami and Tsubame. I kinda like their chemistry tbh. |
 |
| Yes chapter 121, and to be honest they did a good thing adapting it this time around instead of cramming it in that last episode. Kinda feel unreal just how much both of them have changed over the course of this single year itself, but yeah nice to see how it all started back then. Well cultural festival is already up and kicking, and so are these cosplay cafes. Moreover having two of those four ramen emperors at the same place is bound to stir up more craziness and indeed that’s how it was lol. Anyways, flustered Kaguya is always a sight to behold. Also don’t tell me David pro. did this segment lmao. And yes Ishigami is onto something, please don’t forget about him. |
 |
| God damn this just keeps getting better and better. 5/5 best episode so far this season. (yeah, i am going to keep saying that every week, deal with it) The freshman year flashback is so good. It's nice to know how our male and female lead first met. We now know that why Miyuki even become president in the first place is because of Kaguya. Both kaguya and miyuki have come a long way, so proud of them. I love the first segment so much. The other two segments are great too. I mean come on taisho guya? cough adorable. Kaguya with ramen kings are hilarious. That ramen dude shouting "a flavor of lovee", kaguya panicking and miyuki waving her is very cute. Ishimaki friendship is so wholesome! Amazing episode, can't wait for the next one. |

| Do your best! Ishigami Yu. This episode did not have the OP, so here's one. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Another week with another banger of episode. They finally adapted chapert 121 of the manga one of the most anticipated chapters for manga reades, as it is about how shirogane meet for the first time Kaguya and one of the reasons he became the student council president. Hayasaka as a maid who would imagine that. |
 |
| We finally know how Kaguya and Shirogane met. Shirogane in his first year looked like Gilgamesh for some reason lol. The ramen guy is back, he's a coffee and tea expert too. Shirogane's dad is also here, I'm looking forward to seeing more of him since he's such an entertaining character. More Hayasaka is always good. One of the best directed episodes in Kaguya imo. Funny and balancing, strong and made with nothing but cares. |
| How Kaguya has grown, she has come far. |

| In a way the stakes for both are equally high this time around. The insight into how Miyuki and Kaguya were like when they first started was pretty insightful. Both look so different back then. In the past the academy sure had a different air about it. But wow Kaguya really rocked her outfit at the cosplay café event. To think that Kaguya would encounter experts during her shift here though. Glad that she was able to prove to them her skills at teamaking though. Maki's sure dipping into her own experiences when advising Ishigami. Miss Mood swings is a pretty apt name for Maki. Can't believe how well Ishigami did with asking Tsubame on a date though. Overall an excellent ep that managed to balance out character expansion via the flashback with other situations that the team were facing a they navigate their own desires in the cultural festival. Looking forward to seeing Ishigami's date next ep. |

| Lol so that’s how it began with Miyuki and Kaguya. So beautiful what a amazing scene. Lol these two mens that was funny. Kaguya makes the best tea! Maki best girl:)) |

| I liked that subtle part where Shirogane was holding on to that ragged rope, in contrast to the beginning with him staring at his predecessor's fourragère. It seemed like a visual metaphor for what he wanted to attain. Then with the superimposition at the end with him actually attaining it was chef's kiss. The classic rags to riches. |
| The middle aged connoisseur was hilarious. He was a nuisance, but on the other hand he could've dropped the bomb and thus put an end to the game of cat and mouse. Also lmao @ daddy Shirogane pulling up once again when Kaguya thought she was done with middle aged men for the day. |

| Peak Kaguya Episode!!! Kaguya is very different now from her past self which shows Love can change one!! |
 |
| Its culture festival day proper and flashback when Kaguya and Shirogane freshman year episode. Nice to see the past of the MCs and how they meet each other first time. I liked that Shirogane had a "love at first sight" for Kaguya. The next part is the day one of the cultural fest. And Kaguya class theme is a café with cosplaying waitress. Its cute to see the attire of Kaguya. Hayasaka being a maid is normal for her but its good. The ramen king visit is nice too. The last part of the episode is Ishigami progress to confessing for her crush is going smoothly with the help of tsundere senpai. Overall great episode |

| The fabled Hoshin Shuchiin Culture Festival, let all of what happened in previous years take hold of everyone with new wineskin. The backstory of how Kaguya and Shirogane first met in the Spring of their 1st Year, the typical average latter bearing hatred for the filthy rich, the one prominent figure being Kaguya herself, the Ice Princess. And Shirogane for one, roped into the Student Council in his shrouded unnervingness, was taken aback by Kaguya's nonchalance (that in fact is still connected to the world of the rich), and became the man he is today. Kaguya's culture festival with the class cosplay café, and Hayasaka made NO attempts to hide her true maid origins in Kaguya's family, which is absurd lols. And even Kaguya in her Taisho-era cosplay is alluring for all the boys and some middle-aged men to collude on coffee, taste, serving and above all on the Golden Ratio. These ramen king men are hilarious LOLS. Ishigami's culture festival to stalk Tsubame all the way through, and Maki has to interfere with his antics for relationship gossip since she lost her best friend Nagisa to Tsubasa, knowning the hurt fully too well. Both truly are the epitome of a lovey-dovey relationship and poor Miss Mood Swings is still trying for an effort between them, such a nice person to give Ishigami pointers. Go for it Ishigami, we're supporting you to chase Tsubame down! In the dreaded horror house... |
 |
| Ishigami is taking some Ws, you love to see it |
 |
| Beautifully adapted episode! Didn’t expect the flashback to their first year story to be done so well. Truly elegant storytelling. Plus, Maki is an underrated gem for real. |
 |
| I liked the insight of how the MC's met each other for the first time in the past. Also the progression of Ishigamis confession to Tsubame is nice to see. Overall amazing episode! |
 |
| When Kaguya was serving those middle-aged guys I wish she'd bring back her ice-queen persona, nevertheless she handled the situation perfectly. Too bad to Hayasaka's taunting, because Kaguya was really brilliant as a maid. I guess there's still time for the confession. My boy Ishigami is struggling, good luck and I hope things go well for him. Or else I riot. |

| Great episode! We got to see the backstory of how Shirogane joined the student council. Kaguya saving that girl who fell into the river was awesome! The ramen kings! Hayasaka's pouring methods were to his liking! And so Kaguya sets out on a mission to make the perfect cup of coffee! the verdict was that it was 'without a doubt, first class!' Ishigami is still looking at Tsubame and gets some advice from the two rivals in love (One of which is unaware xD). I feel bad for Maki having to see Tsubasa and Nagisa like that... Ishigami invites Tsubame to the horror house to which she accepts very happily! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Maki's suffering continues or she just punished herself this time ... Kaguya got dragged into horror house ... |
 |
| Another fantastic episode in the culture festival arc. It's hard for me to say much more than that at this point with how good each episode is both in isolation and as an adaptation. |
| GO GET YOUR LOVE, ISHIGAMI! TSUBAME KOYASU IS TRULY LOVEABLE! |
| I lost my shit when Hayasaka and the coffee guy were poorly greenscreened onto the fibonacci spiral. 10/10 visual effects |
| I absolutely loved this episode, great flashback. I can really feel the story finally coming together as a non manga reader which is nice, cute outfits this episode too! |
 |
| This episode has a balance of stories so I don't feel bored, this is the biggest reason I like kaguya. I thank this anime for giving me passion for rocom anime in this season |

| The quality of this episode was so good, I love the distinction between younger and older Miyuki. Let's go Ishigami and Tsunbame! |
