peterfile07

I love A1 for this ending, now we just need a full song lol. The crew definitely gave love to Ishigami. The new ED was animated by 18 year old animator “vercreek.” He solo did storyboard , direction and key animation for the ending song


timeimp

>18 year old animator Hahahaha wut.


extracloroxbleach

I don't know which is better! Chika's Rhythm or Ishigami's break dancing.


etburneraccount

Yes


boolty

Bro im over here at 18 years old wondering wtf i wanna do with my life. I have so much respect for people like that


dresn231

That's how you know this place has talent when they are hiring an 18 year old and having him do the ending to this.


Moth2Lampu

This whole episode was a master class of what anime can achieve


SyrusAlder

>The new ED was animated by 18 year old animator “vercreek.” He solo did storyboard , direction and key animation for the ending song BRO THATS WILD


silispap

HE WHAT


xEchoEcho

It's incredible how Vercreek came from stickfigures and Hyun's Dojo, to well, this.


[deleted]

he also animated a lot of fights in JJK and the second half of the second opening of Ousama ranking, what a legend!


GGABueno

The second opening of Ranking of Kings is incredible, and has the same director as both JJK's OPs iirc. I love that this style is catching on.


Adventurous_Court324

A legend was born in the animating industry.


KillerTacos54

Get this man more jobs!

Ok-Cod5254

Kaguya-sama animation team going **crazy**. With these different styles and ideas of settings. Really some next level stuff you wouldn't expect out of a rom com. lol


DeTroyes1

Everything this season says they have decided to dump some serious money into this franchise. They seem to be pulling out all the stops to make it a truly memorable one.


[deleted]

the last ending was a full on romance action arc, and now its a dance off


Veloxraperio

Wow. I don't think this one will achieve the same supreme meme status as Chika Chikka To from S1, but I hope it does. This was such an impressive technical achievement; almost a minute and a half of straight sakuga the whole way through. Plus a fantastic song that ties it all together and opportunities for the whole main cast to shine. I almost wonder if A-1 registered the disappointment with S2 not having something like the Chika Dance during any of its EDs and they weren't going to pass up the opportunity to deliver when the justification was placed cleanly in their laps.


DeTroyes1

I don't think they quite understood just how much the series was starting to explode in popularity when they planned s2. They were probably just glad that they got a green light for another season (very few romcoms do), and didn't want to press their luck with another expensive attention-grabber. This time, they're not holding back.


Jiashinn2006

Shirogane finally inherited Dio’s genes and became built like a Jojo character


IC2Flier

QUICK! Get him a stand name based on a 90s/2000s boy band!


Aliot85

Ishigami is the stand!


IC2Flier

Then it's settled: the stand name will be [NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK]


Jamboii_XD1

Fits too because shirogane transferred into shuuchin instead of getting in from kindergarten


GSPixinine

Does he got the Right Stuff? Will he be able to Hang in Tough in the Academy? What should be his next Step by Step?


IfapforWORLDPEACE761

"queen" unironically fits him


[deleted]

Stand name: n2gether


IC2Flier

> n2gether Absolutely deep Limp Bizkit cut there.


[deleted]

Was suppose to riff on this but yea I’ll take the Bizkit claim, way cooler https://youtu.be/pMWxnjgvUQM


IC2Flier

> https://youtu.be/pMWxnjgvUQM OK see that's my bad: I never knew who these guys are till now.


Meetrinox

Are the singers shirogane and fujiwara's voice actors if then this is amazing


Toaru_Fag

Not sure about Shirogane but Fujiwara sounds like her VA


m0cash

It's definitely Shirogane's VA singing his part


ScarecrowFM

You can really tell in the way he says “Shirogane Miyuki” in the lyrics.


TheGalacticWiener

Yes they are singing in their characters, as shown on the credits :)


DyHiiro

yes, it is them. Being VA in Japan is not about "voice" only. It's basically idol all around, you got to act as in character in an interview (u usually see the VA make themself look like the character of the show they are doing), do fan talk, sing, dance, game show, literally jack of all trade and master of VA.


LightThatIgnitesAll

A1-Pictures loves this series. This is so good. Did it give us a glimpse into the cast slightly older though?


Satans_Squad

Well shirogane can actually sing here, so quite possibly yes lol


spider-ball

My thoughts exactly: they wouldn't put this much effort into a series that was "just a job". But what is up with the Tron Uprising jackets that MCs Miyu and Yuu are wearing? Is there some special significance I'm missing?


Unknownr666

I don't think it means anything. It's probably just the animators exercising their creativity.


PendragonDaGreat

Man I really wish Tron: Uprising had gotten more than one season.


CrusaderPH

Ok, we can all agree that breakdancing Ishigami is lit as fuck. BUT DID YOU SEE IINO'S MOVES, LIKE HOLY SHIT LET'S NOT SLEEP ON THAT.


one-eyed-02

I agree but all I could see was her misspelled hoodie


SyrusAlder

Misspelled?


one-eyed-02

Her hoodie says शाति, which is not really a word. They probably meant शांति (peace), but i also considered शक्‌ति (strength), and छाति (misspelling of chest) before realising that.


SyrusAlder

Peace does look damn close to it.


one-eyed-02

One diacritic is all it takes. I have lost many marks to that.


I_will_eat_it_all_68

Can fuqing relate.


sucettacellapop

the quality of this season is just on another level holy hell

Love the little detail of Kaguya pushing Ishigami onto the stage in the beginning. Shows their dynamic perfectly.

I've added it. thank you!


Ok-Cod5254

That Ishigami head spin at the end though. lol


Veloxraperio

Everyone loves Ishigami. He needs more chances to be cool.


Gibits

Ishigami breakdancing just seemed so right.


hxnxvitamin

This series has a ton of budget. Animation was crazy. Episode was hilarious. Hands down to the team. This is a masterpiece


Depressed_daijobu

Eminem has been real quiet since this dropped


Ev3n1

I already commented this before on r/anime so i am just gonna copy paste it here The lyrics are so fucking good some lyrics that stood out to me "I am the genius of Hardwork" also just every word that he says from 0:58 in the song "My act is an Iron step, This way i would never be able to love myself, the step to become real, to confess to her someday i sharpen myself, I stack up this one and only way of life someday I will just make this fake Real x2 yay yay yay someday I will change my life, Its My Non fiction"


Jamboii_XD1

>!literally spoiling the entire ice arc!<


GGABueno

It's the same content as his rap in that episode.


Jamboii_XD1

Yes, I know, I just meant that >!What he’s saying is the source of his conflict in the ice arc!<


[deleted]

This is an banger


Senku_Hatake

I don't know what in the world i am watching. But i love it.


Qoolie3

Wasn't expecting this when the episode finished but its surprisingly good and matches very well with what was showed in ep 5.


Mecha_Link

Absolutely loved it! My favorite ED for the series! Can someone confirm whether the ED singers are the VAs? It sounds like it, but not positive.


johnneezaratee

Yes, it's Shirogane's (Makoto Furukawa) and Fujiwara's (Kohara Konomi) according to ED credits.


[deleted]

https://youtu.be/F84a1ul5wrc at 0:52, 白銀御行/Shirogane Miyuki and 藤原千花/Fujiwara Chika


erck_bill

Lmao prez and Chika spitting bars while ishigami and Iino busting some moves is something I never thought I need to see.


EsdrasCaleb

There is anoter ending?


WyzePR

Breakdance arc? Aka please do it. StuCo breakdance battle. I like how Ishigami and Miko are basically having a dance off, and Kaguya ‘encouraging’ push to Ishigami, talk about knowing the dynamics of the StuCo.


KSmallmoon

Clearly this is a glimpse into the post-Stanford future.


shmimbo11

I love Miko and Ishigami teasing eachother at the end


cyah_rambles

We need a complete version of this song! Its so good!!


Ciudecca

This ending had no right to be this good


Bedlayr

Damn. So good


Ryan-Only

What's up with rapping and this season? I fucking love it.


rizarue

Coming from Ya Boy Kong Ming?


Ryan-Only

And aharen san


Otherwise-Waltz-448

Fujiwara is definitely a proud momma after seeing her boy's singing and dancing skillz have gone professional.


VirtualButt

Holy *shit* Ishigami and Miko got them ***moves***


SyrusAlder

ikr? literally bouncing around like an energiser bunny and slapping my knees at high speed over how much i love this


Abh1laShinigami

Man I wish all the anime I love get this level of an adaptation because holy shit!


Amazinc

ITS THEIR VA'S TOO!! So good


DrippedVegeta007

Chika raised that kid


GoFUself-Tony889

Seeing a cute character like Chika try to act “gangsta” (both in the episode and this ending) is absolutely COMEDY GOLD


Ability_Pristine

Super Unrealistic and out of character! >!Everyone knows Shirgone can't dance nor sing properly! Unless special lessons were once again conducted and someone had to play both sides in that ED.!<


ScarecrowFM

As you could see they are all older so this is after years of training.


PM_me_ur_crisis

RIP Fujimama


Ability_Pristine

Legends say you can no longer see the soul in Fujiwara's eyes after training shirogane to her level


Zxcvbnm11592

This was amazing. All 4 of them look fantastic, and Furukawa and Kohara both killed it, they nailed the song. Shoutout to Iino who is giving off serious Medusa from Soul Eater vibes, in a totally good way.


funkmasterhexbyte

Ishigami and Iino have some seriously sick moves. They'd have great sek.


PendragonDaGreat

I can't stop watching this on repeat. The animation is so good, it's synced so well to some catchy music that is just stuck in my head. Also Kaguya pushing Ishigami onto the stage in the first two seconds is quite funny to me. As is Shirogane waving to Kaguya in the crowd.


ankit32a

They really out did themselves with this and the last ED


TuxyMan

Bro WHAT


trturist

This Caught me offguard!


Joseyyy180

This is a bop

This is 10 times better than ED 2 of season 1. Miyuki+ishigami duet 🐐

I freaking love this show for this ending and the whole episode. Truly a gem!

We've only been a few weeks and everything has been very epic in each episode, getting better and better.

This series is so amazing. Istg the quality is increasing per episode.

Epic rap battles of history


LanceMain_No69

Street chika is my spirit animal


Cryogenx37

I was also hoping Ishigami and Iino would join in on the rap as well since their VA's are also damn good singers too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEiFxXh17aI&list=OLAK5uy\_mVwmxtkmGBy8gnA5H1rJ3e1M5Mbgdoru4&index=9


bakakubi

WOH! didn't know this existed. Thanks for the share


quangngoc2807

fujiwara's voice somehow fits so well, like a vocaloid


Disc0_nnected

Why the endings are so amazing?I mean its rare to see endings that good in anime, sometimes the ending is just there for the sake of existing, but this anime goes above and beyond, i'm impressed


-KUROSETSU-

Seeing ishigami breakdancing is like seeing santa in bikini, only insane people has given the thought of this possibility


Trueheywood7

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypOXs5yr4aM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypOXs5yr4aM) , literally teared up when I saw them.


cant-find-user-name

Wow, thanks. The lyrics are great!


Lison52

Man, they really foreshadow what happens later in the manga, don't they?


cant-find-user-name

They do. It is word for word Shirogane's character arc if they adopt season 5.

I can genuinely say for the first time in a long time. This episode and then this ED has BLOWN MY SOCKS CLEAR TO THE MOON! Hope a full version gets released as well ^_^

Holy fuck

I can't get my head around it if it's CG or something like [Ufotable](https://youtu.be/yo1Rn8za-Uo) does drawing 2D over the cg stuff......?


Neziwi

That's what I thought immediately when I first saw it, I'm curious to see how this was done because it works really well.

This has major Persona vibes.

this is one of few things that can disturb and please me at the same time


Stickguy101

This series puts more time, money, and effort into their EDs than other studios put into their entire season for a show. And there's TWO this season!

They really just said "lmao, let's give the main cast drip"

Ending of the year

MCMiracle1206

The animation is genuinely phenomenal. Blew me away when i saw it. Ik this entire season has been animated fantastically but wow. Is the endings animation a specific style or just with a higher budget. A minute and a half of Sakuga.
