| 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. |

| 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. |
| More nuts added to the cast. Brilliant. |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
wheresthehandle said: Fuckin' laughed my ass off at that part. PRINCESS CARRY FAIL Stella is friggin' brutal. She's pretty immense..The other chick is cool too. Laughed hard when Kou was talkin' of running off, and then he turns round to see HoshiStarface n the others already peggin' it. Good stuff. |
 |
| This show is turning out to be a lot of pointless "lolrandom" and unfunny posturing. Disappointed. Might drop it. |
animechap said: Good to see this from you antitype. Seeing how you seemed to like the show at the beginning (even though it wasn't Yuasa) made me think you would actually like this episode. I thought you quit MAL? I'm confused. Anyway, I think Arakawa is a really nice-looking show at times, with all the aqua-hued skies and green grass and... well, that's pretty much it. The character design and animation is otherwise nothing special and full of SHAFT's clichés repeated ad nauseum. The humor is about as stupid as that of Detroit Metal City -- they both have a premise that should be a source of great comedy, but they totally blunder it. The "scary" little girl was definitely the tipping point for me. Just another disappointment. |
| LOL. I've been watching KSN subs since someone mentioned the translation differences a couple of weeks ago. They're pretty slow, so it sucks. I kind of liked the episode. The first half with the date was hilarious, brilliant, and poignant all at the same time. To see that side of Nino so early on kind of caught me off guard, but hell, I said that last week, didn't I? As for the second half...a little boring. I don't get the hate for Stella. She is what she is. Let's not act like all of these characters are wholly original. Riku is just a variant on the straight man, Nino on the crazy girl, Sister on the bad ass, Star on the obsessive guy. It's how they're used that counts most. That said, her parts were amusing enough, but I was over it rather quickly. I really liked Maria, though. |
| Blushing Nino = Super cute. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| ROFL LAMO, I just laughed my ass off during this whole episode. Nino blushing was cute. I thought Stella was really funny in her own way; Saito Chiwa's versatility is just amazing. and the last, sister scar explosion scene was just bomb... I've never had such scene that I laughed insanely like that. |
| Maria's crazy....and scares me...>: What's wrong with her... |
 |
| hahahaha x) This episode was good! the little girl was funny and I cant get ova sister hehe Looks like Kou is trying to live up to his name now too (that is as Nino's lover) bless ^^ |
| I laughed so hard during the entire date; especially the "princess carrying". The middle part with Stella was fine, a bit boring. But Maria was full of win with her insults. Hilarious episode. |
 |
| Kou's wtffaces are scary O.o |
| Princess carrying, ahahah. Haven't laughed this much in a long time. |
 |
| This anime is turning into something epic! Another few episodes and I see this going on my favorites list ^^ |
 |
| LOL awesome episode, there date was hilarious xD princess carry ha ha ha then the introduction of Stella and Maria, "Stella only 3 combo chains for normal people" xD |
| hahahahaah everyone in this bridge community is total wacko |
 |
| I feel a bit confused after this episode. Why Sister suddenly starts bleeding? Maria is strange. Stella too. But I can't wait next ep! |
| Poor Ric getting owned by Stella and Maria xD |
 |
| Weird characters? Check! Comedy? Check! Moe? Check! Exploding Scars? Check This anime is the biz niz!!! |
| It was really unbelievable how Ric has absolutely no idea of how to carry a girl like a princess when he graduated with all A's. D: Nino's facial expressions are just as cute as ever. Gawd, this girl is unbelievably adorable. XDD |
 |
| The dating part was ridiculous xD This show is hilarioussss |
 |
| Haha Maria. |
 |
| Princess hold, princess hold, princess hold. What else is there to say? |
 |
| Two new weird characters under the bridge and even a whole farm. I guess Ric was right with asking himself what the hell the gouvernment is doing. |
| Good episode. |
| How to carry a princess. I laughed my brains out. |
