They are really skipping a lot of the manga. I miss not having some of the jokes but it was a good episode none the less. Some of the faces in this episode was just hilarious. As always, i love listening to this dialect. I just cant get enough of it. Seems like we get to see what his name next episode. I think he was introduced in vol.3 or 4. Either way, i'm looking forward to the next episode. We should see some progress between Koizumi and Otani.

i didn't know it was out already...i just did a search for it and blue storm's subs were out i guess...never heard of this group since i watched kisssub's version last time...i hope subbing quality is just as good...downloading right now...i'll edit this post once i see it...can't wait since i liked the last ep and from what you wrote, it seems like this ep will be good as well...

also, i didn't know this was based off a manga (i should have assumed so but it never came to my mind)...i'm only watching this because i liked the asian movie lovely complex...

It's a new fansub group apparently. Tell me how's the quality of the release after you watch it plz =). So I can decide whether or not to wait for KissSub.

the actual video quality is very good...however, it's in .mp4 format...the sub quality was also very good...they didn't provide the english subs for the op or the ed though, but other than this, blue storm's subs were pretty good...if you don't want to wait, then i say download now...

also, i really liked this episode...it was a good blend...we get to know more about otani's past, it has some depressing moments, some funny moments, some really weird and funny faces (the five guys each resembling a different animal, lol), and the ending was well done that makes you want to watch the next episode...5/5 for me...

Woot, good episode. BlueStorm did a pretty good job at subbing. The karaoke is a little "ehhhh", but the grammatical check and spelling were right on.

Pretty funny episode too. Enjoying this show a lot. :)

Awww this was so sweet episode! Even though the whole show is pretty predictable it still some weird magic in it. Otani and Koizumi were so cute when they ordered the same thing from that cafe and when they were in the concert. Hopefully the third episode will come fast ^__^!

After watching the first episode of the anime... I rushed and read the whole manga (at least the 21 chapters that were translated). LOVED IT!!

I was shocked at how rushed the anime is! I mean... so many AWESOME scenes they skipped. *cries* Manga fans... I feel your pain! LOL this is the first time I actually read a manga.

Please please please let them slow down in the next episode! The whole Haruka arch is SO funny! Besides... if they keep this up they'll sum up the manga in 10 episodes.

Agh, I love this anime to PIECES.
Otani is AMAZING, what he did at the end of the episode for Risa was so cute ;_;
Risa is awesome as well, it's not often I like the lead female as well as the lead male.

The humor in this really gets me too, everything that's supposed to be funny IS funny to me- so far nothing seems forced.

Though I shouldn't do this, I added it to my anime favorites. I don't see how this type of a show could change so drastically that I wouldn't like as much later as I do now.

Looks like I'll be buying all of the manga :P
Dunno if it's even been released here yet, though....

I was wondering about the OP and ED, the first one had translations for them I believe. I can't check cos I'm not on my PC right now.

Anyway, very good episode. Really liked it. I suppose I don't understand much of the dialect like you Faust, but it sounds different yet very cool.

Another nice episode. I really love Akemi Okamura's voice acting for the character Koizumi. She like delivers the perfect pitch and tone for those o-so hilarious scenes. Anyways, I'm looking forward to another hilarious episode.

Still loving their accents, but as a fan of the manga, it's a bit sad that they missed out on some awesome scenes. Enjoying it lots nevertheless though ~

This series is so good :) Rewatching now.

The characters are just so believable... and their voices are cool; I think it might be that their accent/dialect is from Osaka area... I don't really know though...

Otami was so sweet this ep. I love this series already! lol i love how "tall" people are portrayed in anime. I mean she's only 5.5 1/2. We're the same height and that's pretty much the average height for females in the United States.

Even though I haven't read the manga, I can tell things are being rushed a bit. Other than that, this is proving to be a lot of fun. I can't get enough of the banter between those two. And Otani is adorable. :3

I can't quite get rid of the nagging feeling that I've heard the song playing at the karaoke before. Does anybody here recognize it? It sounds really familiar.

EDIT: I'VE GOT IT! It's the ED from Kamisama Kazoku :D

I find it really wierd how Otani's ex looks almost exactly like Chiharu except for the hair color, and I wonder if the voice actor is the same as well. But I'm glad he went to the concenrt with Koizumi, and that Haruka guy seems odd.

That was sweet of Otani to pass up possibly getting back together with his ex to go be with Koizumi. I wonder who that guy was at the end, surprise hug! Enjoying this series but still a bit skeptical.

Oh wow, I didn't expect that concert to be that kind of music xD

That guy came so much out of nowhere.

Poor her, it's like she's remembered constately by her friend that she's alone xD
And I can really sympathize with that... :'(
Gosh am I too lonely...

Anyway, it was a good episode. I find the joke to be a bit repetitive though. Another thing that bother me a bit are all those ''cliche'' comedic sound. Seriously, some of the sound seem to be from the 80's...

I guess from a standalone point, the series definitely matured and is progressing. Characterization was well done making this series better.

Cheesy Level Rating: 78/100 C+ Still cheesy, but its rather like
than melting cheese.

That music band at the end xD

"Yo yo yo yo"

For a moment I thought Otani was going to confess to Risa and tell her some cheesy line. "I hesitated a bit but preferred to see you instead. Mayu can wait, we made plans together remember"
