I love this show. I can't differentiate between what's serious and what's silly! I hope the next episode continues from where this one left off and that it doesn't just begin some random side character's story.

I will post this before I forget, Shimazaki with Shirai was great because Shimazaki looked sharp and Shimazaki was so nice blushing. I though I was watching something else in the beginning when Shimazaki was being death threatened but I think that person was Kappa, almost sure or maybe Hoshi.

Nino and Rec relations went sky high for me, from Rec's imagination and appearance changes to Nino's outpouring knowledge of who knows things like Caspeoze nebula thing. Hoshi was the shit with his interruption! Did it pretty good. Potato too was doing a good impression on me. The ED change was weird in regards to Nino's eyes. BTW though Shimazaki in the spoiler

would make some good hentai if ever she does. Oh yeah also I did not get the gag at the end at all, someone care to explain?

I wonder if its even remotely possible for her to be an actual mermaid, or at least I feel it was hinted at with the 1 hour long pic underwater and the ED. Still it depends on how much you look into detail with this series, and the 'real' Mayor makes his boss like appearance.

Still she has a mom, a few episodes back she remembered her parents flying away in a spaceship and cried. So either the creator is incredibly witty in metaphors and is gonna shock us later on or in reality, the citizens are exactly what they appear to be.

My vote is still she is a rich girl who ran away, but the Mayor is either her dad or bodyguard.

Someone please provide the raw script for the gag at the end. I'm pretty sure the pun used there can't be properly expressed in English.

Nino might really be Venusian after all. It's getting just a tad serious, isnt't it?

So I thin we can safely assume that Nino is not quite normal. She is apparently capable of staying underwater for extended periods of time (1 hour as mentioned by Captain). This is not to say that she is actually Venusian (I don't see why Venusians would have the ability to stay underwater for long periods of time). She could be a fish-human hybrid for all we know. Oh well... all I can say is that things are getting serious.

Also, the Captain's sketch of Nino underwater was pretty nice. Wish someone would make a fanart of it. Desperately need wallpapers of this series.
