It was an okay episode but the first episode is much funnier and this has more seriousness in it though it's still hilarious.

"And Jesus said...Daijou-V!" Keep it up SHAFT!

OP is HNNNNNNNGGGGHHHH! It had a lot of RecXNino which is awesome. ED is very pleasant to listen to.

I'm surprised nobody is commenting that Gintoki's voice and Takagi's voice are in a comedy anime together again.

This is just great.
All those comical scenes where Nino was portrayed as a chibi with those empty, staring-into-the-nothingness eyes.. (Hiragi, anyone?) When the Sister showed up.. so better than expected.
OP was a classic.

Long hair.. long waving hair..
I love her hair.

I think I might have found my fav Spring 2010 anime.

When I heard Sister, I saw Takasugi in my mind...which just made it even funnier, seeing how Gintoki is the star dude xD

QFT. That sister is GAR. I'd also say Cromartie meets Bakemonogatari meets Gyagu Manga Biyori.
Nino is awesome with her deadpanness. Also there are many Anonymous.

Arakawa > Bakemonogatari.

This is all I'm saying.

You know there's many people would strike you down for blasphemy for that statement, Sister style, including myself. But after this episode I'm beginning to think this might just top the only other Shaft show I loved.

Strangely romantic and side-splittingly funny. This is the best comedy in a long time


Not that I care, I just stated my opinion.

I don't think this will change on me. I saw frecking 14 eps of Bakamono and it's still the same thing, no development, lotsa fanservice moeblob characters and blabla...
But on the other hand Arakawa is different. Riku even started to change little by little. The other characters are also making funnier and interesting portraits. The cast is also superior. I like the randomness and loltac sudden scenes of it too.

Anyway - this season ain't that bad after all, at least it seems to be better than the previous one - Arakawa is just a proof for this.

NICE!!! Didn't expect the main character to act so straight up to nino and respond to her love.

I thought it will end up in the generic idiotic anime scenes where the guy gets smacked for look at girl bathing and the guy is also to shy to respond to anything.
