Do sunglasses stop the zap?

yes, you need direct eye contact. No cross-eyed girlfriends either

She hasn't done meth yet!

And Shizuka is all about being a natural born small floof.

e: The descriptions in Wikipedia are for a different series

quote:

Karane has a typical tsundere personality, though not violent by any means.

Hakari ... is rather physical in her affection and can sometimes be perverted

I need some cultural background

In episode 2 they joke that they’re doing a ufo summoning ritual by holding hands in a circle

I remember in the first issue of the Lum manga (also in the first episode), the Lum fan club is trying to summon a ufo by holding hands in a circle and chanting on a roof. This was written back in 1978

Is there some in/joke about ufo cults in Japan that was still relevant enough to make 45 years later

The manga loves to reference famous scenes from both old and newer mangas, that's it. Heidi, Astroboy, you name it.

Died at the joke with the drawing where the chest potion, instead of giving her boobs would give her manly pecs

That joke in the manga was kusuri explaining to karane that it would give her bob sapp's chest (no picture). Kinda amazing that Bob Sapp jokes are still relevant in japan. Hakari's mega jiggle was a new joke and so was the alien nano one.

So, yeah, the dudes in charge of the anime do know how to add/modify jokes for the show.

My favorite joke in this chapter was just shizuka's "aniiiikiiiii" line delivery. BTW, the VAs for hakari&karane -in particular- are having a blast.

to it's credit the series never uses that old chestnut as an excuse to get creepy. she's always treated entirely wholesomely in tiny mode

Sure, by rentaro. But there a few select girlfriends that are mega-creeps

Shizuka being taken care by everybody was the best running gag this episode.

And they kept Hakari's iconic line.

that ED jumps straight to her current manga self, though it doesn't take long at all for her to reach that point

The manga has toned down hahari considerably lately. She was a complete menace at first.

Thank you for providing an example

The thing is that as more specialist degenerates are added to the group the generalist Hahari finds it harder to compete.
