THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------


Lmao, the zoo at the beginning. Tbh, I think Medaka is too excited about the zoo lol. I also found her cute with pigtails during her younger days :P

I liked this episode though. Kouki Akune was such a badass during his older days wearing those clothes and with that attitude. What a boss.

The fight was also kinda funny. It reminded me of Karen during that one episode of Nisemonogatari by the way Koga was fighting. Itami Koga is a funny girl to watch.

Dat Naze, Dat Sawashiro, I'm so Happy.
Great episode and good adaptation so far.
But no Kumagawa voice in the flashback :c

It looks like they cut out some parts from the manga. Like when Akune combined Zenkichi's stomp with Kikaijima's yell to ward off a giant flock of animals.

That's where this episode ended?? I want more!! :c

The fact that Naze Youka is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro truly makes her even more awesome for me. Naze Youka is one of my favorite characters while Miyuki Sawashiro is one of my favorite seiyuus (she and I have the same birthday too).

Didn't get to hear Kumagawa's voice from the flashback and I thought I'll be able to hear him speak from this episode. :c

Gotta lift those skirts shamelessly, right, Maguro? ;D

Was even better than the manga counterpart for this ep imo...It was awesome.
Miyuki as Naze was awesome...I didn't expect her to voice Naze but it turned out brilliantly :D
Lol at the trolling with Kumagawa (no voice) XD
Loved the FB, just like the manga I lol'd at how Zenkichi was during middle school lol XD.
It was hilarious how they made the flashback as if his life flashed in front of his eyes XD
And that ending of the episode...Maguro is too Hilarious XD

@TheLaw :


No that's not my concern. Its that they've already casted Kumagawa. How long has this been known? I wasn't expecting a female seiyu to voice Kumagawa.

Oh c'mon, they can't name an episode "Kurokami Kujira, A Lovely Name". Spoilers, spoilers everywhere. Anyway, except for Gainax trolling, it's following pretty closely the manga, good.

I read a few random chapters before and Kumogawa's words were always in those brackets. I wonder if it has a special meaning and how It'll affect his speech in the anime.

Maguro, my sensei!

Great to finally see Medaka's sister ( It's in the preview before you QQ spoilers ). She's cute in her own sadistic way. Sawashiro suits her well.

The adaptation has been great so far and I'm glad they didn't censor the hell out of Naze's panties :D

I dunno how it's carry over in the anime, but the brackets and ALLCAPS in the manga are meant to show that his words are completely insincere

laughed at Zenkichi shouting Evangelion, which is the most famous Anime of this Gainax.

Why... Why would you spoil the next episode's twist in the preview, I don't get it?! WHO DOES THAT?! Oh well, Naze is still the best character (right up there with Shiranui), gotta say the voice fits her well.

I do wonder what they're going to do with Kumagawa's brackets. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei has the "proper" girl with punctuation showing on screen when she talks, that's one idea, but I dunno... Whatever they'll do, 「It’s not his fault」.

Medaka was so cute this ep.

Youka is awesome. And being voiced by Miyuki makes her even more awesome. Her voice fit like a glove.

Kamen rider reference FTW.

Maybe they'll give Kumagawa a happy-cute voice for when he'd be using the brackets, and a serious voice for when he's talking honestly. So we'd get to her the honest voice... twice?

Yes, more Dashing!! moments. Naze's such an interesting character, I'm really glad to have Sawashiro voice her. I was quite shocked to see (what I assumed to be) her unbandaged face in the preview though, save it for the next ep!

Great ending with Maguro breaking the ice. He's made my day.
