Mouth 2 mouth FTW!!!

Oh boy, and I thought ep 5 was the best..... I'm glad that I was totally wrong. This ep has everything: From boy x boy to boy x girl to S&M, manly dude in pink apron, and the best of all are TEH KISS!!! MOUTH 2 MOUTH!!! Then sister in a *beep* suit!!! And the best of the best is MARIA and her harassment at the finest level!!!! Urgh.... What's better? Nino's kiss, or Maria's heel?

.......................................

......................................................

........I-I'm sorry, Nin-......SCREW THAT!!! I'm gonna be a bitch this time and take 'em all!!!

Sister in a suit!

Maria at her finest bullying!

Whitey...an honorable salaryman??

Takai(thought he was voiced by the one from Heroman and I was right)...weird but funny. Did I see Bakemonogatari in that book when Takai was imagining Ric to have middle school knowledge about love?

Hoshi freaking out by homo and the kiss... "I'm a starfish!!"

Nino kiss FTW!! Ric freaking out and being happy was absolutely hilarious.

Best episode yet. My cheeks hurt.

Maria, Whitey, and Sister playing those roles were awesome, lol. Way to pull through Whitey!

Lol the freakout about them being gay by star was hilarious. I nearly died laughing.

I loved Nino's expression during the kiss scene! She so had "Ric just stfu and kiss me already". look on, lol.

Kiss scene between Nino and Ric means episode = Epic.

LMAO @ Star"fish" drowning himself, I lol'd.

"That day, a traumatized species of marine life was born". Omg, I can't take anymore lol.

That chicks a spy! Things just got srs business.
Seriously though, seems bad =\.

Very funny. Ric has now completely lost it lol. I hope kisses become a little more common now (probably will not though).

Looking forward to a father/son confrontation.

Great episode once again. The kiss was quite cute but things seem to finally be moving along with his predicament. I wonder what Hoshi is going to be like the rest of this series.

HOLY S*** IT'S GENDO KOU'S FATHER!

-Rie Tanaka was Takai's assistant FYI.

-I liked Sister a lot in this episode. His gun-crazy antics are always funny. (Was he seriously going to shoot Ric back then!?)

-Yay! A kiss scene. This almost makes up for the missed one in Bakemonogatari! What was really funny was Ric's reaction afterward. "What if she gets pregnant!?"

The final pic of the episode was sugary sweet and cute as hell.

"What if you get pregnant?!" ...right.

Heehee, best episode yet. Didn't expect we ever got to see Sister out of his comfortable shell.. but he looks good.

I seriously grinned at that idiot's antics.. not sure I could stomach a guy like that in real life, but he was funny in his own way. 'What if you get pregnant?' Well, at least you can joke about it. Most guys would be horrified, haha.

Takai has the same voice actor as the principal from Hidamari Sketch lolz.

Holy shit Maria is evil.

Sister is crazy.

Holy shit Hoshi - the part when he barged in and saw Takai with Ric was so fucking funny because of this face:


YEEEAAAHHHH! THAT KISS!

RIC, age 21 had his first kiss.

LOLZ what if you get pregnant.

Bluebird!

Overall excellent episode filled with excellence.

pretty funny Hoshi was basically traumatized that whole scene. Then the kiss was the coup de grace. Also at Ric father "Never show me pic of him ever". second best part was Ric backhanding the mayor epic

Hoshi was exactly that this episode, a "star". LOL. Ridiculously funny and yet, I somehow feel a little sorry for him.

Kiss scene was awesome! I <3 Nino! So clueless and just so adorably cute ^ ^

Hopefully this wave of great episodes keeps on coming; story is finally picking up the pace, but not at the expense of humor =)

Sad to see the lack of Stella, though. Her whole Mafia thing would've gone over real well with big-time corporate employees like that...

I thought they couldn't top last week ("Fuck off, you student fucker." has been stuck in my head all week...) but Hoshi's reaction to everything was priceless. I'm a starfish. Oh wow, Maria was a badass and I have to admit, Sister looked like an assassin in that suit. :D --- Randy

He's pondering whether or not Nino would get pregnant not he himself.

Great episode. All the hassle in introducing the under bridge people was really amusing.

What if Takai was Yandere for Ric? In his current state, he's already giving me the creeps but not in a negative way.

And Hoshi will be scarred forever. Cavity check + Nino's kiss is a 2 hit combo for him in one episode.

Also, loved the part when Nino stole (?) well not really Ric's first kiss.
