Funny ep again. We were introduced to Souta's sisters and learned a bit more about his family situation too, and it seems like he's not that lucky at home either.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

It was pretty funny espically the part Souma hidden threats and getting everyone to do his work for him.

Man that was fun, he's got hot sisters, atleast, to bad he'll never know it. You'd think he'd defend himself better against Inami. Valentines day <3 XD

Souma WIN! XD Smiling evil. XD But he has a weak point too. :D
And poor Satou again.
At the start I thought Inami was the least I like. But now the opposite. :)

More and more I love this anime. :D So hilarious.
Sorry for my bad English. ^^'

Looks like Souma is not so tennen. He knows everyone's secret!

Now with the secret of Souma coming out, i can safely say that about every character is eccentric in their own way
If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

This was the first episode that I actually enjoyed. They needed some characters with evil tendencies.
....so maybe it will pick up.

Did they have to give all of the male characters such similar names (Souma, Souta, Satou)? Oi.

Souma's character seems like a mash-up of Itoshiki-sensei from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Izaya from Durarara. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this.

On the topic of Souma as well, is he interested in Poplar or vice versa? It occurred to me that the three opening images of the ED are Takinashi getting punched by Inami, Poplar and an uncomfortable-looking Souma, and a melancholic Satou with Kyoko and Todoroki in the background. It's been established that Satou likes Todoroki and this episode pretty much confirmed (more) that Inami is tsundere for Takanashi, so it would seem odd to me if the only reason Poplar and Souma were in the same picture was because they didn't have established pairings. Not to mention the fact that Poplar is making Souma lose his trademark cool.

All in all though, I enjoyed this episode.
Ha-cha!

So far this series has been one of the most funny and upbeat shows I've seen in a while.
Each episode does tend to be a bit random but not so much as to make me lose interest.

The 3 older sisters do help explain is fondness of small things, seeing as the large things tend to beat the crap out of him.

It's too bad that Inami punching at the first scene ruined the entire atompshere of this episode horribly. She needs to disappear.

Souma looks more like the mixture of Natsume and Izaya. Hiroshi definitely did another fabulous job on portraying character's personality greatly. I like how Souma is criticising people around him and point up their studpid cliche issues. He also made Inami's faggotry punch at least more entertaining than before. He is only character in this anime who is unpredictable than others.

So, Souma was hero who saved this episode from ruined by inami faggotry and bunch of unfunny cliches. Also, Shouta's mini love is now justified, in accurate but hilarious way. The best episode so far.

Edited: and lol Kamizaya and Onoshizuo fighting

I wonder where did he get all those info? Mayb it's Izaya ? haha !
Satou's probably a cousin of Shizuo , using a pan to hit instead. ahaha ~
By far, i think it's the best ep.
And I can bet Sohma and Satou will be my fav characters of this series. ^^

NEWSFLASH If you get tired of Inami hitting everyone you won't like this show.

I loved this ep! Sight gags are just funny to me. Like everytime you see Inami on screen i always laugh b/c i know someones going to get his ass kicked. Oh man Souma was just too funny when he kept getting beat up.
Bring on more! And funny how the Takanashi clan are all the same height. This show is going to get a 9 or 10 if Nazuna turns into a little anime version of Stewie Griffin.

Nice punch IppoInami...

IzayaSouma is amusing. He uses their secrets against them but it doesn't work for Inami. Lol at Inami punching Souma nonstop. He's also trying to be a matchmaker, only to be smashed by Satou's signpostfrying pan.

Now we know why Takanashi is a minicon. That's a big imouto there. He can't feel like a big brother to her sister. He's also getting pushed around by his older sisters. They're pretty amusing, a little bit weird though. Funny how they're almost the same height, but the youngest is still growing.

Inami is starting to grow on me now. Sure she is still punching a lot but she's definitely warming up to Takanashi. Lol at how she's restraining herself to hit her teachers.

Overall, a random but great episode.

The best episode by far! Souma was awesome. They introduced Souta's sisters, I like the younger one, she's cute^^
I can't say anything because it was too hilarious! Especially Souma part with Todoroki and Satou also the part where Satou use the frying pan to hit Souma, it was pricelessXD
I think this episode confirms that Satou likes Todoroki, based on what she said to Souma and Souta.

Anyways Awesome episode 5/5. I hope they will keep up like this.

Souma is Izaya's little brother, I swear. :D

This episode was pretty cute, with Sato's headaches from loving a lesbian to actually finding out that Inami likes Katanashi!

And his family...incredibly weird. I like this older sister/novelist, haha.

More hit-and-runs please! I wasn't enamored by Inami hitting everyone in the beginning, but it's definitely grown on my the past 2-3 episodes. Absolutely lmao during the epic pummeling she gave Souma. The straight shot to the mouth she delivered to Souta at the end was pretty funny too. I'm glad they've been focusing more on Inami than Poplar btw. She's way more fun and interesting.

As others have written, after seeing his home life, you can tell why he's into small things and why he doesn't get too worked up about the abuse he gets at work.

I think I am getting used to Inami, and that expression she puts on looks like she sure is craving some Souta co-*cough* cookies.

I wonder why the director made me pity Souta for being so down about his sisters superiority or is that just to include the usual slice of life stuff. I'm thinking too much.

Satou seems like a pretty cool guy and Souma helps keep the work flowing. Good episode.
