This was officially the most boring ep of this series. I can't believe its the same series.
For the last 2 eps Kousaka is hardly even seen anymore and the new members have been forgotten completely. The series now seems to focus on Saki's naggings!?! She seems to have become the main character.

This is truly an ep where "NOTHING" truly happened! I don't know how some people are finding this "glorious" or even remotely "hilarious"... I lost you here people!


Agree with above. It took me two YEARS to get past this episode. Made me almost drop the anime.

Although it's based around Madarme's cringy awkward mannerisms I still really like this episode.

It was a creative episode just for the two of them but it could be executed better. Not average, not boring but it was okay.

Wow, the writers had some real talent to pull this episode off. The whole show took place in the confines of one single (small) room and only had two characters (one of whom did not want to speak). Still, they managed to keep it interesting and funny. Well done!!!

Is this how Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou looked like in 2004? xD

What a sad real life he have.. kinda :(
Tbh he didn't deserve that slap, I think it's because of his "friend" provoked him to do that
Don't worry Madarame, you're still my favorite character! xD

I wanted to start posting some thoughts I had about this show earlier but I kept chickening out, but I loved this episode so much that I decided to go ahead and do it.

Favorite episode by far, Madarame and Saki have such interesting interactions, so seeing an entire episode based around it was just what I needed. Dating-game delusions and silent awkward humor is hilarious and incredibly relatable. Very rarely do I see how awkward it is doing your typical hobbies around other people in media. No matter how much you love something, the moment you watch it in front of others you realize how ridiculous it is. Madarame also had some incredible facial expressions and animation this episode, really selling it for me.

This episode reminded me of my junior high school days, because I was very shy about talking to girls. especially if she is beautiful

I love how accurate this is, the amount of times you imagine how a conversation would go in your head before actually talking to them is priceless lol


You know it's boring and awkward when you can hear an airplane flying over


Bro chill it's just a nose hair lol, but yeah I see the issue his in is a bad situation. if he tells her it will seem rude and awkward or is it the right thing so she isn't embarrassed, oh the choices the choices


Its moments like this that stick with a man forever and give them a life long lesson, this was a great Madarame episode, I like this anime can be serious while still being funny and relatable on so many fronts
Uhhhhh...I like anime so deal with it. Anyways whatever you just read...I really meant it (✿◠‿◠)
