All the attention it's getting is very much well deserved (IMO), so don't automatically dislike something just because it's popular. Anyways, great episode. C: Loved the part when Ric was carrying Nino, and that scene where he sent the leaf boat towards the ocean was so sweet.~~ <3 |
| ... Y'know, I don't often do this so early on, but I think i'm gonna add Nino to my fav characters list. She's just so... hypnotic. Sorry Sho, but you're off. Room needs to be made. |

She's like the prerequisite bitchy character, even if she is done non-traditionally. I'm sure she'll be liveable, though... I think. |
| Stella is a lame and unfunny character otherwise, hilarious episode as always |
| weirdest date ever; plus yandere girl and one of those hardcore environmental type who thinks humans have no use |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Great episode. Holding nino like a princess XD but i liked the part where he jumped in the water for the boat, and the piano in the bg, and Nino blushing <3 Haha Stella i mean Hitagi XD good to them the same voice actors around. Another weird character introduced...maria.. i mean oxygen lol |
 |
| The way he carried her... made me lose it :D 5/5 for that alone. I already dislike Stella, but Maria and Sister are both awesome. |
| I'm still grinning after watching that episode. So funny in a wicked sort of way. Hope this keeps up. Can't say I'm a Stella fan, but the combo-hits and Ric's assorted reactions (especially in the beginning when he was slow to catch on) were hilarious. Yes, she's scary. Damn scary. Maria's introduction made it for me. That poisoned tongue of her's left me coughing and in tears from laughing so hard - especially when she finally finally got to Sister. Hahaha. More Maria please! Poor Recruit. Everyone he meets seems to either hate him or/and likes to bully him. Everyone except Nino. Awkward date (very awkward), but successful date. He really did a thoughtful thing there and it moved her. Hopefully, some of that mystery that she's wrapped around herself will begin to unravel soon. |
 |
| HiroC saying "Stella" makes me HNGHHHHHH. |
| Nino blushing <3 I want to know Nino's past >.< |
| Here comes another loli fanservice Stella. Annoying. Go go lolicons, go and sweat on her. - point for Arakawa, for the first time. >_> But Maria is amazing. I love how she insults people around rofl. XD |

| Hilarious episode. Best moment is when ric holding nino like a princess XD. Also, what a great combo there, too bad she didn't finish it. |
 |
| Stella's daughter was G. Hahaha. Surprised at the end of the date she blushed. Now Maria hahaha. Wtf. |
 |
| Oh lol. Dates seem pretty exhausting. 二ノさん～～～～～～～～～～ <3 Yeah, a one-on-one fight, awesome way to play, especially for a little girl. Sister raised her well. xD And Maria's got an awesome attitude. "Can't you stop casting a shadow? The sun's got better things to do than warm you up." |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| haha CO2 is easier to create... i love that ending song. |
| what happened to the dress? wasn't she supposed to wear it on the date? I wonder if Ric owes her his life again? since she stopped him from being dragged under again when he went after her boat. loved Maria "Sister, stop casting a shadow, the sun has better things to do than keep you warm" XD |
| This was best ep out of the 4, Stella was great; Maria was okay and Nino blush = :O |

| Great episode I was laughing through almost the entire thing.The princess carry was hilarious and seeing Nino blush was just awesome. Stella's okay but Maria was great her insults were too funny. Maria actually reminds me of my friend...scary I know. |

| Kou x Nino is always funny)... and finally new female characters. |
 |
| Hahaha, best episode so far. I laughed so hard with the princess carry fail and the 3-hit combo, and Nino was just adorable as always. |
 |
| PRINCESS CARRY FAIL |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
animechap said: Episode 1...okay 2...better 3...was really good 4... Okay come on episode 4 was a failure. Only the beginning with Nino and what's his face was a very sweet moment and I loved it. Then everything went downhill. How many animes...even live action shows and movies...introduce a little kid and make them dangerous and threatening? It was very very very cliche. I could tell it was going to happen right when she lept into Sister's arms. Lack of creativity I think the show is progressing nicely. I have now idea how you could like the first three episodes and dislike the fourth. The first date part of episode 4 was just a continuation from the third episode. The introduction of the deadly loli Stella was hilarious in my opinnion. I was really happy that she turned out to be supper violent, because if she would have been moe I probably would have puked. I laughed so hard when Rec got knocked the fuck out by a little girl. I think my favorite part of this episode was when Stella told Rec that he was now her little bitch. ROFL!!! Of course the ending was also very funny. I couldn't help but think, Rec has got himself into a really fucked up little world. I'm enjoying this series more than Bakemonogatari. It's much funnier, plus it seems to have learned that the two main characters should be what the series is based on, instead of wondering of with a ton of side stories. |
| What on the world he is doing to the poor woman?! What kind of date is that? I never thought that anime would be so funny. Dangerous loli alert!!!! |
| Man, where's dhero at? An episode evaluation just isn't complete without that guy. |
 |
| Date = awesome XD. Stella = creepy awesome XDDDDDD! Maria = ....weird? |
| I laughed at the 'distance makes the heart grow fonder' implementing. Ric showed that he can be just as weird as the rest of the bunch. Princess's carrying was hilarious too. The fact that we got a blush was awesome. Or emotion in the first place. It was really fulfilling too. Stella and Maria were funny but they couldn't top the date section for me. Awesome episode. |
| I lol'd at Stella's 'one-on-one fight' and her total annihilation. |

Episode was fantastic with Stella being not only evil with a hidden agenda=> Not only that, episode impressed with the use of shadows.....especially this part=>  Maria is so brutal yet looks like a nice girl that insults. Can't wait to meet this girl though=> |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |

| - Holding lika a princess made me lol so hard. xd - Geez, Stella's cuteness got me... and she's awesome. ^^ -Eggs and milk, and i was scared that sister's gonna make a cake from cows or other animals... -Elephant collapsing made lol hard too. Awesome episode. ^^ |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| The "moment" Ric and Nino had at the beginning was too cute. Can't wait to see more of Stella and Maria. |
 |
Alexstratz said: Lol, yandere loli Stella! xD That one-on-one moment was trollishly hilarious, I'm sure most of us were thinking about playing "house". A new challenger awaits! i lold. also, fantastic episode. stella is adorable... and maria seems very interesting. the date was amazing and the whole episode was spot-on in terms of humor and cuteness. i think this is definitely in the running for the best anime of the season; |

| I think I am in love with this show for no good reason whatsoever. I'm sure the ending has something to do with it, but I love how crazy the characters are. Also, stuff actually happens. |
