Eh? I find Fumino a little better than Asuka despite only hearing about her here and there. Unlike Asuka.....Fumino has more charms with her eyes and reactions.

In spoiler my anime list for now.

Shit episode was shit

I had hopes for the series after the (very good) last one, with its serious tone, nice character moments etc.

but this was just plain stupid.

That was the most random episode i ever saw. I was kinda depressed. Why are the directors neglecting this anime?

A lot of you who want tear-jerking drama every episode are looking for it in the wrong genre.

Do the words shōnen, Harem, and Comedy somehow filter out for you guys when you decide what anime to watch and you're browsing through the genre listings??

Rate a series on how well it executes the elements it's designed to portray, not on whether or not it has your "favorite" elements.

If you dislike the average harem comedy to begin with, why are you even watching this?
What most of you are doing is tantamount to saying Macbeth is bad because it's depressing...No crap it's depressing! It's a tragedy! Likewise with this, no crap it's random and over the top! it's a COMEDY!

I can understand 7/10, 6/10, hell 5/10 scores for those who don't find the humor funny or the romance relatively decently played out. I personally do. What I don't understand is those who are giving it scores of 1 and 2 when the series is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.

So random. At least the episode tried a different comedic approach. I especially liked the ping pong match and the two guys warming up each other with their naked bodies. XD

And how come this episode had like 90% nudity. Is AIC practicing drawing anatomy?

5/5 just for the LOLWTFness factor.

I did giggle when the dude was like, "I will protect you." The rest was unsurprising crap.

I am very much enjoying the mixture of directing for a hopefully disastrous train-wreck of a series. Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration but I hope it will be.

I thought the ping pong scene was funny...but other than that I didn't like this episode at all. This was just too random and overall I didn't think the comedy was that great. It might of helped if we were eased into this trip. I really hope the rest of the episodes are better. (I'm usually pretty tolerant when it comes to the anime I watch but this episode was hard to get through).

This is what happens when you finish an episode THE WEEK BEFORE IT AIRS. You could tell it was rushed, the 3.5 minute long ping pong scene with music that didn't fit at all was a dead give away. For a show that had quite a bit of promise from the first 3 episodes to this crap is really depressing, and I can see the drop rate skyrocketing after this junk. Shame too though Ichiban is probably the better Harem this season anyway.

Ahahahahahaha! It's like I just watched SHAFT animation. This is what happens when you use new director for every episode. The first and second episodes were horrible, but the third episode actually showed some promise. I'm disappointed. =/

They spent over 2 minutes just doing that. I don't know whether it was either an attempt to be funny or just they were trying to just waste time or even both maybe. I guess this ep was okay, but so far the series is all over the place in my opinion.

They obviously wanted to cut production costs for the episode so they put it in a way that would mask over the fact.

Meh, I had a few giggles, but worst episode so far.

The ping-pong scene was going too long (to the point where I was like "ARE THEY STILL ON THESE DAMN FIVE FRAMES?") until they started moving in slow-motion, then it was epic.

"I will protect you."
Serious rib convulsion in laughter.

This was a really funny episode. The comedy was spot-on, and not just generic stupid shit like in other anime. The ping-pong scene had really good timing, and a lot of the comedy, including the slapstick, was really effective imo. All around solid episode.

Also, Kaho is love.

I compare the ping pong scene to one of those Youtube Poop videos that loop the same shit over and over and over and over.

For the record, I hate those videos.

And seriously, everyone was waaaaay out of character in this episode. Takumi hasn't been a weak Keitaro-like protagonist at all up to this point, so why on earth is he now?

Sorry, this show was bad to start with, but it looked like it was going to crawl out of its trope-infested hole last week, and then we get this shit. I got sick of this kind of thing after an episode and a half of the Love Hina anime, why would I want to watch it again?

And for those of you comparing this episode to a SHAFT show...er...what?

Loved how hit or miss this series is starting to become...

Honestly this did feel way off path considering last week's ep. Funny nonetheless, ping pong scene I was not particularly fond of. Nozomi and the fan was great, as well as the forest adventures for the guys.

I'm not entirely sure which direction this series is going anymore. We had light comedy up till this ep, which was just straight gag. In for the ride since it's on my active FAL team.

Gags were mostly standard for onsen style eps, but the little personal touches sets it apart a bit. Not enough for gold, but good enough for the show itself.

Yeah I also felt Takumi wasn't anything like what I remembered him being like from the previous episodes. I thought maybe it's cuz I just didn't remember or something.

And to the SHAFT comment..that's what I was wondering. SHAFT doesn't deserve to be compared to this episode.. like many others, I thought the last episode was pretty good, but this episode was disappointing. I laughed at a couple parts (the ping pong scene was not one of them). That ping pong scene lasted way too long too.

I just hope the next episode will be better...

And that episode went in a totally different direction than the one before it. Quality drop off? Hell yeah. But I can't say it wasn't funny because parts of it were hilarious. Takumi definitely made out better than Ieyasu, though Ieyasu didn't seem to unhappy the morning after lol. Kaho is interesting. Maybe she'll transfer to their school?

Any anime with a hot springs episode is bound to suck

I don't mind the 'cliches' every now and then, but when I can pretty much recite line for line what's gonna happen I gotta question the quality

How can you call this the worst episode so far compared to the disastrous first ep... Easily the best ep so far.

The first 10 mins were bad (no worse than the rest of the series), but the second half was great.

Also finally a second character who isn't annoying... (other one is cat girl).

Lol, this is not too bad a series till ep 4, reminds me of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, but I hope not too many filler episodes are in here like in there, cos' if it does it will stray away from its original concept.

I hate this ep with a passion, with the yaoi scenes and some scenes that really ignore the characters' usual personalities, like Takumi. In this ep he behaves like the way the otaku usually does. Not to mention the leaf censors.
