A couple gifs from the spring thread that are missing here.

This show owns, the manga owns, and every character owns. For me, I think it's between Seo and the Hori/Kashima pair for best character. Also since this is a comedy with no real overarching plot, I think we shouldn't worry much about spoilers in the thread.

I feel that some of the delivery in the show is a little off but still pretty good and can only get better with the full cast in play.



Chiyo is also the best character because she goes for a long time being the straight man in the series and then busts out something just as stupid and loony as what everyone else does all the time. I don't know if it's the timing or what, but it makes her hilarious rather than feeling like inconsistent characterization.

Kashima and Hori have transitioned fantastically, though I was expecting Hori to be a little more hotblooded. That couple is definitely my favorite.

I found this on Tsubaki's twitter:


It's the cover of volume 5, and I'm mostly posting it because it has much tanuki.

Hmm not really the hair colors I had imagined for Ken and Maeno, but I guess we'll see how they look in practice.

The next time a dating sim pops up is even better. This show continues to be everything I'd hope it would be, and Mikorin is an even bigger goon in animated form.

Also I only just noticed that those are panels in the sky in the OP. I was thinking they were in a space colony for some reason.



Edit: Oh man, I can hardly wait for Ken and Maeno next episode.

I think one of the :.ings about this series is how people can gloss over or come into it with some misconceptions, like how some people thought this was going to be a straight up shoujo romance with some comedy.

And what they get in the end is a loony bin. A glorious loony bin. :allears:

What Nozaki and Mikorin had with Tomoda was real, not something from a loony bin :colbert:.

Waka is such a dork :3:

I am glad he's finally been introduced, because the scenes where he plays off Seo are some of the funniest in the manga, although we probably won't get some of them without a second season.

e: Although the second part of the episode was Chapter 20, so I guess they're not too worried about jumping around a little.

Yeah, the jumping around makes me hopeful that we'll get to see villain Wakamatsu and the second otome game chapter. Even if we don't, I'm still more than satisfied with this adaptation.

The second one? I didn't realize there was more than the one. Which hopefully we will get, because it was the most hilarious thing.

There's the one with Mikorin and Tomoda that we've already seen, and the second one has Hori and Wakamatsu which I hope we'll get, if it's unclear what I'm referring to.

Edit: I guess I shouldn't have specified otome game there, since the first one wasn't one.

How did Seo and Waka's dates even start, anyway? She stresses him out to the point of insomnia, you'd think he'd want to spend more time away from her.

Waka has no spine and is really, really dumb, so she probably just told him to come with her somewhere and he followed like a puppy.

And then immediately pull a Mikorin afterwards out of shame, yes?

No, that's after committing imaginary acts of violence against an imaginary tanuki.

On a side note, I have to say that despite my initial misgivings about the anime putting a bit more of a romance spin on the series, I think it's handled it really well. Seo and Waka's rooftop scene was magical, and I end up wanting to cheer on Chiyo despite knowing how comically hopeless her situation is. Next episode looks like it will have more Hori and Kashima, so I'm excited for it as well.

Poor Mikorin still has nobody, though. There is no happy ending for the biggest shoujo protagonist in the show.

chumbler

Kashima and Hori are the best couple.

And speaking of sound effects, even if it's just a generic sound effect used in tons of shows, the poot sound that is used occasionally always makes me laugh.

Yes. Also this episode has made me question who is more oblivious between Nozaki and Seo. I am not sure it is a question that can be answered.

I'm happy to see that we're going to get some of the misunderstandings of Miyako's friends, too.

Still the best drat character. I get the feeling she and Momoka from Sabagebu would get along great.

Wakamatsu also somehow manages to be even dopier and more pathetic than in the manga.

This episode is the best one yet.

Yes please, that would rock hard. The ending scene with Chiyo and Nozaki was even better than I remembered it!

I was torn during that whole scene between "Okay when is the punchline going to drop" (which they expertly delayed) and "If they do an anime-only ending of him reciprocating her feelings I am totally okay with that, too". Honestly, even though the anime had a bit more focus on the romance than the manga does, those aspects were done well and usually served to make the gags even funnier by contrast.
