Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

I love this show but I hope Ino integrates more eventually.

Something the author of the manga said a while ago is that what he likes to do with his characters is to use them in the same way often enough that you think you have a good handle on them and then start opening them up more so the audience is surprised by their depth. Like, their depth means something more to you if you go in with preexisting biases. Fujiwara and Ishigami also started as one-gag characters who would always show up at the end of a skit to repeat their joke.

Although admittedly it's a little frustrating to see with Iino when everyone else is already a more developed character.

Yeah like basically I trust that Iino will be developed and roped into the rest of the group, but there is large amount of, I guess contrast? Between her interactions and everyone else's interactions such that she still seems like a distinctly outsider character looking in and I'm eagerly anticipating when she crosses the threshold and has her "If you can't beat them, join them." moment; and can more freely bounce off of them, because right now its more adversarial.

Incidentally, that segment was evidently making a direct reference to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooeRrFk26fo

As if the extremely obvious musical reference needed to be more explicit.

That's definitely the intended reference, but I can't help thinking that it might also be referring to this youtube video based on the end of season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aGtUQo_3Ic. Since it features the same song at the start, it makes me think someone on the staff may have opted for a double reference.

A beautiful episode. Kaguya got herself a dance, and Ishigami becomes an egg. Top tier stuff.

I think that's what I liked about this episode, we got to see some more depth of who she is and a deeper joke. Now she just needs to get to the point of interacting the same with the other named characters!

holy crap, i can’t believe how wild they are with the different styles and segments. really hoping we get a third season so we can see past the sports festival

also hope we get chapter 83, where kei tries to trick shirogane into sharing his relationship issues.

I think you're doing the anime a huge injustice if you don't take it up to at least (So incredibly minor, but I'll spoiler it anyway) The culture festival, and everything after that has been great too in the manga so I don't see why they would stop there unless the ratings/blu-ray sales are doing terrible. Usually if that's the case for an anime they don't give it a second season, though.

That was an incredible goddamn episode. I was ready to declare it peaked at Peanuts but it just kept getting better. That fighting game scene destroyed me.

When Kaguya slammed her leg down to stop Shirogane from getting up I lost it.

Much like with Ishigami, I'm worried that BDSM queen Kaguya is going to awaken something inside of me. The equipment shed in Iino's imagination was so hilarious.

By all accounts both manga and anime sell very well. Plus you have a studio that's obviously passionate and a supportive author so I see no reason why a third season shouldn't happen.

Besides standard anime fuckery.

Please remember that the same year he did Touga Kiryuu (which, along with Zechs Marquise and Shinya Aiba, codified his typecast for a while), Koyasu also voiced the incredibly goofy good boy Shingo Yabuki:

That's not really fair to either. Fujiwara is part of the core cast. Papagane's appearances are few and far in between.

Soundtrack Analysis for Episode 10

Kei's theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK0_YnE4mPk Mostly a composite of a few themes from this soundtrack. Fabio Frizzi rules.
The family meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izGwDsrQ1eQ
Start of Taiko: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFAghWlmMds
Probably a Japanese Ska song turned polka (my J-pop game is weak)
Something from Taiko no Tatsujin as he's looking at the phone
The strings from this while Kagyua tries teaching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC5AzFc3coo (the vertigo visual reference gave it away)

Edit: The start of Kobachi Osaragi wants to crack down contains this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji-Ye6nbJWY

That's the new stuff I noticed, probably missing a couple as always.
