This episode. was. the. best.
Censoring aside, it was pretty dang funny and awesome. Easily my most fav episode yet even though there wasn't much suspense. It was just awesome... Chitoge <3

5/5 for sure.

fucking Raku
until I felt jealous of him this episode
but it was cool to see Raku and Chitoge closer
and that naughty teacher
this was the first kiss Chitoge? as unlucky
_________

Raku maldito
até eu senti inveja dele neste episodio
mas foi legal ver Raku e Chitoge mais próximos
e que professora safadinha
esse foi o primeiro beijo de Chitoge? quanto azar

On this episode of Overused Cliches: The Anime, our bland, stupid main character finds himself caught in the girl's bath by mistake. Can he hide himself and manage to successfully escape without being noticed? Of course he can! Tune in next week when he finds out he has a little sister who also happens to be in love with him, or something. Or maybe he finds a mech and saves his school from space nazis. No cliche is too cliche for: Overused Cliches: The Anime!

If you've already watched a lot of anime then you should have known that onsen episode is like a must have episode for every harem series to provide fanservice including this one.
Even though im totally ok with a harem series i feel like the series should have just stick with the love triangle instead of a harem.

Great episode, I loved the school trip and knew that something wold happen, though I didn't expect Claude to to do what he did. I felt pretty tense that entire scene as Raku had some close calls, but Chitoge helping him out was great. Also, Shuu made me laugh at the end "Damn right we're opening that door right Raku?" lol

Anyway another great ep and solid season thus far, I'm very happy it has ast least 20 episodes.

Why do people complain about this specific anime being cliche, as though anime that isnt cliche actually exists?

This was probably the least cliche bath episode i've ever seen.

Calling Shinbou anime cliche is baffling to me.

Hahaha I've been waiting for Shuu to get some good screen time, after being the one behind half of the problems in this episode he didn't disappoint!

Call this episode a common cliche if you wish but it was a well done one. I really wasn't expecting Raku to get out of that one without anyone other than Chitoge knowing what he did. It had me nervous on edge as things kept getting worse and worse for Raku in the girl's bath!

It's because this anime is built entirely out of cliches. Even some of the most derivative stories still have things that make them unique, but Nisekoi plays like it was written with a pencil in one hand and a harem playbook in the other. As you said, there's nothing wrong with things being cliched, as practically every piece of fiction you can get your hands on is often cliched or derivative in some way, but that's no excuse for a writer to not even remotely try to differentiate their work from the throngs of other people that have used the exact same ideas. Also, Shinbou had literally nothing to do with Nisekoi's story, because it's directly adapted from manga, so I don't know why you'd be baffled by someone calling it cliche just because he's involved.

He wasn't underwater all the time, he had a bucket on top of him, so he could go up there and breathe.

Terrible episode, IMO, almost no story development story whatsoever. The only thing that evolved here was Ichijo and Kirisaki's relationship, which was a nice turn from the last few episodes. Hope the anime will pick up the pace next week.

Ahh, ok episode I guess... I think the weakest in the last few ones.. Not enough Tsugumi I believe... Although Shuu was hilarious as alwyas.

One thing I'm wandering, though, is the anime straying too far or staying too close to the manga? Cause I'm reading complaints about lack of Marika, which I assume to be another one of Raku's love interests. Does she appear sooner in the manga?

Its following the manga fine, she will probably show up in three more episodes.

The only thing they cut is when chitoge and onodera visited raku when he was sick for jumping in the pool because of tsugumi.

Other than that the anime is following the manga fine.

And no plot progression? This episode just gave clues about the promise geez there will be no kissing yet....oh wait yes there was lol.

5/5

While repeating random sentence: It's all so forced and already seen.
The narrative is so clever to not annoy me, very funny this episode.
Plot zero, it is a turn around at the same point.
Beautiful designs that help digest the story more easily.
Ruri is epic in its outputs, I noticed that today was also the episode where the Professor Kyoko showed all her beauty! LOL

>Gives Angel Beats a 10

I jest. It's your preference ;)

Ah, by the way, there is a difference. Practically most of the harems (the ones which actually end up with a final couple) pair the protagonist with the girl he always liked. Nisekoi, at least, isn't trying to get Onodera and Raku together (so far at least), which is a bonus. Any other girl is fine.

You are correct sir! Like in the manga they always used to make huge deals when cliched things would happen, such as having characters mention how odd it was that their class was suddenly getting so many transfer students.

There was a sense of self awareness whenever a blatant cliche or trope was employed, but it never felt lazy because those elements were used in effective ways (in essence, there's a reason some of those things have become so commonly used).

It's one of the things that makes Nisekoi so enjoyable for me personally. And tomorrow's episode is going to have my absolute favorite scene from the manga. PLEASE DON'T FUCK IT UP is all I can say.

I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.
