I cannot disagree with you more. I wanted the fanservice. The OVA delivered what I wanted and more. Bless the director and bless the animators. Bless the fanservice gods.

How come people are marking 3/3 watched? I only got to watch one episode. Where can I watch the other two?

Kaguya sama episode structure makes it so that each episode is actually 3 sub episodes or skits. So the OVA's one episode that you watched is really three episodes fit together.

The first one is the ecchi skit, the second one is the ecchi comic skit, the third one is the cooking contest.

Just another good Kaguya sama episode. People crying over the fanservice thats made out to be a joke is funnier though hence why I won't give it a full score. Anyway I can't wait for the 3rd season.

The fanservice was undeniably exaggerated and it did hurt the overall quality. But luckly, the competent writing from Kaguya-sama is still here which made volume 1 entertaining. Volume 2 was probably the best, with each character action being extremely hilarious. Chika commentary pretty much carried volume 3, and it never failed to make me laugh. Pretty solid OVA, although it commited some silly mistakes. 8/10

So let us consider the fact that every Kaguya-sama episode is made up of several segments.
I believe that if you compare this segment (which is technically an episode I suppose) to any other segment in the series, it is easily the worse one.

Fanservice, at least when it's as blatant as this, does not mesh well with Kaguya-sama at all, OVA or not. While you could argue that the main series had fanservice at times, it never detracted from the core of the segment/episode and was at times subtle.

This segment simply worked better in the manga where it didn't have to be fleshed out as much (though it still wasn't perfect even then).
As a result, to pad the length of it, more fan service was included.
Sure, the exaggerated physics of the girls getting out of the pool was funny at first, but it focused on them too long for it to remain funny.

Kaguya and Fujiwara in the shower honestly felt uncomfortable, mostly in part to the identity of the series.

All this aside, it simply was not as funny. It lacked the stylish direction of the main series.
(This applies to all of the OVA segments, but the production values were noticeably lower here).

Honestly, assuming that Aka Akasaka, the mangaka, did not play a large role in the production of this OVA, I feel sorry for him.
He jokingly refers to the series as "a failure of a romcom as it has not contained a single panty shot" (in the form of meta-commentary). He always works to subvert these tropes but the way this segment/episode was executed betrays what he has done with the series so far.

Daddy daddy doo~

I was thinking we would gotten a certain arc, but we gotten a bit of ecchi-side stories instead called Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai Darkness + chapter 96 of the main manga. At least now we know that Kaguya isn't as flat as people were thinking she would be. Thank you Aka Akasaka, very cool.

So yeah, I gotta check out that Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai Darkness now. Guess I'm missing out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh my lord, that shower scene is something I would have never expected from this series but I definitely loved it! It's so well done, the top tier animation, the suggestive camera angles.... They really went to the limit of what they can show xD. Such a shame it's not in HD.

The porn magazine and shokugeki were hilarious.

Miko is such a cute glutton <3.

What the actual hell did I watch.

Am I watching hentai or Love is War, I really can't tell. There's just way too much abnormal fanservice in the first 10 minutes. After the first 10 minutes it was pretty good, since it just returned to being a normal Love is War episode.

They kept in character with the "fanservice critique" chapter in the manga so all is good even when it was over the top. I loved the Chariots of Fire reference too.

LMAO, the director and animator must've had a blast animating the first part of this OVA! The amount of jiggle physics and full-body outline exposure that was in that part alone more than enough made up all the fan service that this series needed. Hell, the actions that Kaguya and Bitchika did was far and beyond even what typical ecchi provides, it's straight-up softcore hentai! Still though... I stand with the Anti Bitchika army

I need more of the second part, Miyuki's and Ishigami's dynamic is always a joy to see, speaking of joy, imagine the joy on my face seeing the cook-off between these guys + Kaguya, Food Wars style! As always, Iino is such a Glutton and Chika is such a bullshitter it's all so hilarious!

This OVA really had a brief yet intense fan service moment, but if you see past that, it's still your lovely Kaguya-Sama Love is War skits!

I really dont know why there are people hating a show or an episode due to Fan service.
I think these days anime have a lot of unnecessary restrictions. I mean even if the bubbles or steam or the door hide the ni**les it is still not for kids because they can see all the things except for the ni**les and va**na .

I mean the Door,Bubbles and the Steam are all on the way of our enjoyment while watching the episode. I am sure a lot of you feel this way.

And why is one of the best girls Hayasaka Ai not there in this episode. She was shown only for seconds.

Like Ishigami said , Fuzakeruna, Shueisha!!

Three part of ova, two fanservices, and one usual part of them did the competition.

Heh. Boing-boing and swimsuit. Great combination. I like the idea of Chika and Kaguya did the thing together in the middle of their showering, pretty lewd to their standard. Based part. Good shit commentary from Ishigami always fuckin straight.

Second part of the ero magazines just really basic. The only good thing of these part is Miko. Shit of her is so fuckin cute. I am death.

The third part of cooking contest. Miko once again stole my heart with her judge contents. She fuckin eating all of them but still manage to spare some space to her own food is really deserved my notice, ngl.

Overall, its a simple 8/10. Don't mind the fanservices, i like fanservice.

I mean, the parodic nature was more than notorious here but even so, not even Ishigami's funny takes could save those first two segments from being a total cringe fest.

This said, third segment was obviously the only good one. Poor Miyuki tho. There was no need to expose my poor boy like that.

I didn't like the boobs and thighs part by my heart but the animation was decent and this segment has the right to live for a specific audience.

Miyuki is the king of the dance as I laughed my ass loud over his arrival to the scene of the abandoned hentai comic and later when he begged his friends to evaluate the taste of the dish instead of crying about his past.

Hey, Iino, you little voracious imp, no wonder Master Fujiwara chose you for the squire role. Special thanks to her for cheering Kaguya's benevolent intensions.

I completely agree. I don't mind fanservice and ecchi if the series is about that but Kaguya-sama isn't the place for this type of stuff imo. Like this went further than a lot of anime that has natural fanservice in it and that's saying something. I really hope we don't get anymore of this because tbh it just felt like it was here for people to get aroused from and I don't watch Kaguya-sama for that. I want a wholesome romcom that I can watch with most people without feeling awkward

I hear a lot of people saying that we "missed the joke" and that being that it was parodying fanservice anime. That doesn't exclude the fact that they still used fanservice in their anime and had two naked women on each other in the bath. Like either way it's still ecchi and is out of place for an anime like this imo. Like I could usually watch this around my siblings but this ova I can't because of what happened in the first part. I feel like they could've made the same joke without actually including themselves in the joke because a lot of people are just going to see it as what it is which is just an ecchi scene.

Honestly found this one to be awful. I kept on checking the time left of the episode and I never did this in both seasons.

The fan service in the first 7 minutes or so was f**king garbage and ruined the characters completely. Won't talk about it anymore. Just shit.

The rest of the episode was not really as half funny as the main series. I about smiled two times or so. Nothing more.

I don't know. I don't want to ruin the series in my eyes. I will skip and wait for season three instead.
