THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Oh god, when Isshiki put on those red glasses, I immediately thought of TTGL for a second there.

So, I guess this is a beach episode with fun in the sun. Lol @ Wakaba there. I felt a little sorry for her and more so when she saw a beetle in the jungle :D. I liked those kendo skills though. They sure matched her style. What a tomboy.

Meh, the battles were kinda lame but episode was okay overall imo.

Akane's inflatable swimsuit, lol.

Well, this episode did a good job of showing off the girl's bust sizes.

This episode can be described as a complete mess and Kenjirou really doesn't know when to quit even after Rei who not only escaped capture was defeating most of everything he had, the mech he had was good but the rest were a bit cliche but the battles and all were funny. I really liked Aoi's method of taking down the bear robot, wasn't sure a rock would be too effective at first.

Don't forget the title for this episode is named "The episode where Kenjiro (grandpa) wanted to strengthen the Friendship Power of Akane and the girls but then things turned out of hand" :-D


BTW Most attention in Japan is focused on Himawari, and deservedly so. Indeed a bit of waste for her to keep herself indoor all the time till now.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

That's good because I want to see more fanart of her and doujins once the series ends.

This mandatory beach episode was boring. The only thing funny about this episode when Wakaba got jealous at Himawari's bouncing boobies in the beginning. The rest was sort of retarded. I couldn't believe just how airheaded Akane is in this episode.

Okay, this episode was just silly. I couldn't help but laugh at how stupid it was. I kinda wish they'd done more to advance the plot, though. Since this is a short series, I worry that we'll just see the whole plot crammed into the last two episodes or something.

That title is so cliche.

Why the shortest one have the huge advantage ! And that Akane swimsuit!
I just realized how crazy her gramps is, although I had to admit that treadmill is a good one.

Loved this episode ending theme.

When I stopped taking this show serious, the fun began. And fun I had.

And I'm with himawari on this one: It's difficult enough to keep the hands off of girls butts as it is, but with that button you just HAVE to push it.

Also, when the girls got inside akane's inflated swimsuit, they got quite an eyeful.... I'M JEALOUS >.<

Amusing episode. I laughed hard at Akane's inflating swimsuits.

Wow...just wow...Himawari in swimsuit. She's super adorable.

And Rei acting a bit tsundere at the end. So cute.

Aoi is super strong. Taking that robot bear with that big rock.

Wakaba and Rei in a swimsuit is definitely the best part of this episode.
Akane's swimsuit was interesting in a way i wonder how she can stay so happy with a grandfather like that around.
That building on that island was also pretty interesting to look at especially that normal vacation home on top of it made me laugh.

This episode was pretty heavy on the fan service. A bit too heavy...

The whole training things was pretty pointless too. Stupid weasel made it look like a Pokémon episode with all those Team Rocket inventions popping up out of nowhere. Akane didn't even recognize Rei too.

I hope the next episode will be better.

Himawari's proportions were all messed up.

The team really know what they doing.
Himawari is in peak popularity in Japan- therefore they created this 'bad animation' as an incentive to buy the BD version.

Filler this, filler that, but I find the Alone fights more filler than what went on this episode. We're on the recruitment season, and this is the Rei arc. This episode really helped to give Rei more of a taste of Akane's harem powers (Or uh...friendship!), and will be a part of what will push her to join up. Also, WakabaxHimawari's a great combo!

The episode was hilarious throughout xD

I love this show!

Himawari was cute is that beach outfit! And her boobs <3

Akane's beach outfit...the rest three girls shouldn't have went into her suit...they ended up sawing her...h-her...I can't even type the word.

What was with it and the machines. They sucked.
Rei's voice under the scarf. It made me chuckle a bit.

Average episode was good. I can't wait until Re warms up to Akane x3

I'm sure the next episode will be it!
After her, there's one last person left to recruit. So I'm pretty sure Rei's going to succomb the next episode.

I laughed so hard at that. And we finally know he's a Weasel, not a Ferret.

In general this episode was really funny. Rei with her bikini and scarf, and them not recognizing her "disguise" was great.

"Secret Alone Base." Hmm... I think it's that way. Hahahaha

Also, dat mecha.

Hrm...while I'm happy that the Japanese love the show, it's kind of sad to see one character said to be so focused on. I really hope we don't get a Hinagiku situation where it starts to focus way too much on one character....

So far it's been great and giving all the characters a great amount of screentime though~

This was epic, giant mega troll Kenjirou trolling all the girls. And those stupid signs, the huge (fake) boulder and how they (like stupid people) ran away from it in a straight line.

Love the new ED background image:
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

Watched Four times and tried to figure out whether it is accurate to say
Yellow > Blue > Black > Green > Red > Pink

The inflatable swimsuit is a ingenious idea, first as a slightly ecchi gag, and then, a bit unexpectedly, as a surprise weapon to fight the "last boss" (and more gags).

And grandpa may think that he has successfully strengthened the bonding between the four girls, but in truth what really happens is to shorten the distance between Rei and Akane.

Also am I the only one who thinks the sakuga/animation of weasel grandpa is the most impressive in this episode?
