Chararararara Magical Otoha!

This episode was a real parody. >.<
I laugh a lot.
Why?
Because it was ridiculous or because I loved that?
Well, I think I really loved it.
Otoha is the best!

Would be nice if this thing would stick to one or two genres for pity's sake. Is it a drama, is it a comedy, is it slice of life, is it harem ... yada yada?!?! Sillness abounds. Enjoyed the episode though. BakaWolf subs -- a great parody of the entire epi. 08 as well. Very amusing.

Ok....this was a WTF episode but was still a little funny. I'm still wondering how they are going to end it.

Also did anyone else watch the parody of this episode. It's hilarous. It's called "Hydrogen Oxide Foodprints in the Snow". It's a great way to make fun of this episode.


And I was starting to think I was the only one that watched it.


nope you are not the only one! lol

Yui doing the leekspin was easily my favorite thing from this episode. I'm glad to see this anime is failing as spectacularly as I predicted, but honestly, if all the episodes had been like this, it might not be so bad. The problem is, this episode has no business being in the rest of the series, so it really doesn't work out very well.

I think for the entire first half of the episode, all I could think was "Higurashi did it better."

@Nataki: no offense but higurashi is different in almost every point of view, comparing that first part of H2O and Higurashi is like comparing a minami-ke with death note :D

Def a strange ep. I had to check that I was on the right ep. But even though, it was still a good ep and a touching ending.

This episode was 11 on the weirdness scale from 1 to 10
somehow i don't know if i should give it a episode rating of 5 for most random episode ever, or a 1 because it simply sucked when seen in relation to the rest of the series (which wasn't a masterwork to begin with)

but all in all, this series just got rated at least one point down, because, as many have said before, this episode was just SO out of place, there aren't even proper words to describe how much.

Sure there wasn't much of a plot until the end[Otoho leaving], but at the very least it was entertaining.

all i can say id WHAT THE HECK WITH THIS EPISODE???????? it was pretty funny but totally unexpected (i thought this was a slice-of-life drama without comedy) and kind of not necessary and totally bizzare!!! ahh well one of the unique stuff i suppose
but then i guess it all got explained in the end, although it was pretty sad....

I was like WTF throughout the episode like Hirose was in the episode but I found it to be pretty funny too. XD The Magical Girl thing cracked me up.
Hirose looked cool holding that sword. XD

I liked how it ended how Otoha was able to go peacefully yet happy.
I'm glad now that its all back to the storyline.

I'm gonna keep on watching till the end!

It was easy to tell that she was Hinata, and that was the most important part of the episode. Otherwise this episode was purely pointless. It was sad when she left how ever. I really wanted to know whats happening with the calling Hotaru, Hotaru, like between her and her grandfather.. But I guess I have to watch the next episode for that.

I thought that I was high for 9/10 of this episode... then the last couple of minutes explained everything.

The random references were nice, especially the Miku one. ^.~

Meh overall.

If this was an OVA my current score for this anime wouldnt have dropped from 9 to 4. Absolutely horrible especially after all the build up from last episode, i was seriously thinking that this anime is seriously picking up and then it just fell right through the floor.

Before I start, I want to say that I don't consider myself that critical of anime. I have an awful lot of high ratings on my list, and I'm usually pretty easy to please. That being said, I really hate what I just watched.

I was extremely disappointed by this episode. I was finally getting into this series for real, and then they destroyed the drama with some generic gag episode. As for the whole "Otaha showing him this world so she can know she can leave everything to him" ...that's a major cop-out. The producers wanted to make a gag episode and then try to feed us some bull to make it relevant.

One of my biggest pet peeves is gag episode execution. I know there is a lot of love for this episode, but in my opinion this one was accomplished badly and didn't belong directly after a dramatic revelation. I wholeheartedly support this episode existing------as a special. Or if they didn't want to make it a special, then throw it at the end like a normal series when they want to produce an episode that doesn't fit into the series seamlessly (i.e. Suisei no Gargantia; yes the time frame is different, and it's not a gag episode, but it's a similar concept. I know I've seen gag ones done this way but they aren't coming to mind).

I am strongly bothered by the half-assed explanation for the episode. It killed my enjoyment of the show, and I'm going to have to suspend my disbelief pretty hard for the remaining four episodes unless they can pull me back in somehow.

Takuma's uncle is something else, let me tell you.

I preferred Otoha to Hinata, so it's a shame to see her go.
