| just when I thought it couldn't get any weirder. you know her dreams were rather amusing though....... |
 |
| favorite part: When Himari turns toward the window and holds up a paper that says survival stradegy! XDDDDD |
  |
| Survival Strategy is love. I really hope there'll be more of that to come. |
Paiguy said: MR. PRESIDENT WATCH OOUUT I CRY. This episode was just a giant mindfuck, and I loved it. I was utterly confused upon what was real and what was a dream and the whole time I was laughing my ass off at the random American character and the, I like my woman like I like my... bits~ sillyriri said: So this is a show about stalker girls with daddy issues? xP BUT IT'S TRUE!!! Also, NEEDS MORE MARIO!!! |
  |
| Another great episode. Character development level over 9000 in this show. Ikuraha is a master. |
... |
| A few days too late for the Kanba theory bandwagon :( Young girl watch oooouut |
 |
| The blowfish also appeared in the survival strategy sequence hahaha. I didn't notice that at first. XD |
| Absolutely hilarious, and I loved the survival strategy for this episode. 5/5 for this episode. |

| Dat seizon senryaku muted beginning made me laugh :D |
| Gosh, that was unexpected, especially the fact that Masako killed Mario accidentally... lol It was a refreshing one, perhaps from #17 on it's going to get tedious (ooooh how I hope so :DDDDD). |
| OH NO , MR.PRESIDENT! This episode was really funny. |
I LMAO @ The way the put Survival Strategy |
 |
| the silent senzou senryaku was priceless |
 |
| This show needs more FABULOUS MAX and less MR PRESIDENT WATCH OUT =.= |
| Dutch anime blogger with a love for Ikuhara's antics and proper storytelling. |
| I couldn't take this episode seriously because it was just too insane, and that's why it had some very funny moments! |
 |
| Another episode featuring TERRIBLE parenting. This definitely felt like a Nanami episode from Utena. While her past is certainly tragic, I think it's more twisted than anything. The English in this episode was epic! X^D And yay!!!! Survival Strategy returns! It's been too long.  |

| I wonder what Masako meant when she said "I wont get on that train" the one that the man in suits, her father and Kamba were on. and they had the Kiga group logo. Hmm... has anybody wondered where Kamba is getting all that money? seems fishy to me :/ |
 i seriously lol'd. |
     |
| Even with only glimpses of Kana, he was pretty much a kiddy badass still. |

Raitei said: why didnt masako just throw away those blowfish dishes after getting rid of mario/grandpa... yeah, i wonder the same. the characters from this series can be really stupid sometimes... |
 |
| Great episode! I just loved the flashback part where she had her dreams of killing her grandfather xD Sure was a nice episode to get some more character development for her! A good episode in general! The ending was interesting for the story development I already wondered what was up with that! That ED was just lovely as hell :D |
 |
| “Someone smacked a golf ball at my temple” Hilarious! |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| you have no idea how hard i laughed when young kanba started talking |
| 3.9/5 Mehh episode. Didn't laugh out loud. |
 |
| hehehe! this episode make me a lot laugh! .. I love it.. my favorite scene is when himari say survival strategy to natsume maid.. its so funny how she said it :3 love it! suprisingly the maid is so cute :3 love it too! natsume past make me laugh so much too.. in grandfather scene absolutely :D |
| Dafuq. This episode was pretty crazy. Nuts. In a funnier sense compared to the unfunny, dark and heavy stuff last episode. Also, Ringo is now Shouma's official stalker. Good luck, dude. Well, at least he doesn't seem to be the type to cheat... so he'd handle a yandere better than his brother can. Now we have a worldwide conspiracy coming to the fore?! |
DrHouse said: I have to admit, that made me laugh.the other highlight was Himari, demonstrating her resourcefulness: |
  |
| I loved this episode after some of the seriousness and tragic stories of episodes past. The Survival Strategy was awesome and the grandfather wit his ridiculous english speaking assistant was hilarious. |

| Most boring episode IMO =\ Long, we could some jokes 100 miles away and they were repetitive (the scene where the grandfather dies 3 times and then she wakes up and sees him training... uugh, almost fell asleep, as well as other scenes). But some scenes were kinda funny, and the ending was surprising. I wonder what exactly Kanba is doing... |
| I really missed seeing the Survival Strategy sequence. That was really fabulous. |

| Daddy issues are rampant in this series. And yet another character who's a little off her rocker lol. I don't find Natsume as interesting as the other characters but she's okay. I don't get why she ate the fish. Or both of them for that matter, when she knew one was poisoned. Like... why not just chuck the plates in the pond or throw them in the trash or something? It's not like her brother had any real power over her; I mean she pretty much dropkicked his ass in the pond so he was out of the commission already. I also don't' get how he got possessed... I was under the impression that Natsume was tripping balls or dreaming or something o_o. Anywho, imagine that, a kid with vivid dreams of murder. Nice. Not that a certain other character from Yuri Kuma Arashi wasn't any different =P The attempts reminded me of them. Things got really weird in that trip train; not sure if I totally understood that part but it'll probably be elaborated upon in time. owlpoop said: i was drinking water during that scene when kid Kanba was talking in deep voice and i spit it all over my desk DUDE I thought that was so weird too. It was pretty funny though haha. The voice actor for him doesn't even try to sound younger, so it's like [seven year old or whatever walks up] [deep manly voice] "babe i got this" I've also noticed it before in other flashbacks like the one with the storm and Himari's girlfriend squad and when their parents being terrorists, but it's especially notable here since he looks super young lol. |

Primity said: Best part. None of that stock transformation scene last episode, unfortunately so they came back with a funnier one.i seriously lol'd. My god, who is voicing that English speaking dude? Man this studio is so cheap, I can almost tolerate the blank white background characters but why couldn't they animate the face of the redhead's grandfather? I thought his face was covered up in the painting because she didn't want to see his face following death. Not to mention they didn't even need to get another voice actor to do Kanba's kid voice (must have hit puberty pretty early). |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Wtf is happening lol. I can't keep up with these episodes anymore XD. But aside from that, her dad rather resembles the pervy president from Prison School. |
 |
| I loved this episodes, the use of the Johann Strauss symphony was a good thing. Great Episode. |
| いかれちまったぜ ! |
 |
| Some backstory on Natsume, gramps didn't like his son basically and is funny crazy. Dat survival strategy meeting lol. |
 |
| this was really ikuhara. making a tragic story into a silly comedy and all the repetition and the jokes. it can get pretty boring if done too many times, but i think it came at the perfect point of the narrative. i still have no idea how this will end. |
