First two segments wasn't that funny but the third part was pretty good. Chiri's so cute :D lol "50-50 but not really"

but yeah... I found this episode to be pretty weak compared to the last two.

I actually liked this one more than last week. Chiri-chan is so terrifying. First she captures the spies that are following Itoshiki-sensei and tortures them, then she gets arrested for some mysterious activity involving a shovel, and at the end she goes on an explosive run...

But the scariest of all is Kafuka, by far. What exactly was she doing at the end? o_o

edit: Also, Maria's, "I'm actually a boy!" XD Awesome.

The first 2 parts were kind of bad compared to the brilliance of the third part, especially when Chiri went on her crusade to "half-ify" everything correctly.

I liked the way she half-bathed too, she's crazy!

Ya, Chiri was pure win in the last half.

I still enjoyed the other parts too but they weren't as good as the previous eps.

this episode got a half win in my book. ;)

and it was nice to see another side to Kafuka-chan. I still love her super-positive side but this mysterious side really got me interested.

This programme is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to the real Shogakukan agents, intitial delinquents and semi-airtight water boilers is entirely coincidental.

nah, i know the OP. i'm talking about the light, guitar/piano music that's playing for the first like, 30 seconds.
it's shown up before in the first season (only once, I think). to be exact, it was episode 7, at 12:40 when maria's talking about flavors pertaining to the colored floating chick-thingies.
then i think it shows up again in the 3rd season, but i can't remember when.

gone through all 3 season's soundtracks and i can't find it... it's sooooo good, too.

So true. I found this to be an "off" episode, yet at the same time it really made me laugh, especially that half-smile business. Sensei needs some new ways to get depressed instead of yelling "I'm in despair!" He certainly had a more varied pattern to his suicidal thoughts earlier on, now he's just like *notice x*, *"x has left me in despair!"* I thought most of us realized Kafuka was the college girl last time she showed up? One theory someone left around the first season comment boards was that Kafuka was in denial and would snap eventually (due to her parents attempting to *ahem* "grow taller") I totally bet she has a dark side to her personality, and this college person second identity is just the start of it.

Awww, I half saw that without realizing it was a hint. Anyway now her identity is confirmed we can expect some twisted developments...

Not really an "off" episode for me: first spy segment reminded me of the first episode, middle segment was accurate social commentary, last segment more funny and absurd (like half bathing or the "mangaka say it's half done when they only wrote 3 pages"), all three consistent, with Kafuka's revelation at the end. Also wondering what Chiri was up to with her shovel.

I learned a lot from this episode. I guess it's almost every episode. Why is the chapter order is messy?

Hahaha :D I found a death note inside Sensei bag.

50/50 part was awesome. Chiri is a Yandere as usual. Meru is cute as usual.

...Well, she does single-handedly spark about 50% of the trouble in the series, but she does it so naturally that it easily goes unnoticed.
Most of the time, others cause problems that wouldn't have happened if she didn't subtly set them off.
Many times it appears that she tries to do an act of good that backfires so blatantly as if she'd intended for it to fail and cause trouble from the start.
