----------------------------------------
Uh, the performance was awkward for me in the beginning. I could barely take it serious with that horse head on one of the actors lol. And...Tsukumo <333


Looking good. Her role as a mermaid in the tank was nice. So glad to see her back this episode. Oh and Iva is a boss of course like usual.

Somewhat relaxing ep. after the twin arc. lol @ Gareki wearing Hirato's outfit (at least it looks like it to me). lol more @ Tsukumo.

Iva knows that they got switched inside the cat's outfit!! lol~ That repairing rabbit. lol @ that act that was added here in order to rescue Tsukumo (manga was such a mess).

Nobu's character (Azana: 糺(あざな))!! Wow, beginning of the snow area arc in the end!

Highlight of this episode was the Malfunctioning rabbit saying "Usa Usa Usa"

Of course Nai's power kicked in at a useful time when Tsukumo was having a hard time breathing due to the rabbit sealing way out rofl.

Relaxing time at a parade : )

Gareki looked good in that outfit. Same with Nai.

Lol @ Gareki wearing the Nyan suit.

That play was hilarious. Their acting and the malfunctioning rabbit too XD The play was a success.

Ah a new character appears. Azuna.

Circus is going to some place that is snowing??

Yesssss snow arc's next! :DDD Lots of angst. I wonder if they can cover Yogi's past? They are moving really fast. Because the snow arc is around like chapter 40-ish, and Yogi's past is after chapter 55, I believe? I'm not a hundred percent sure though.

Jiki x Tsukumo ;DDD

Still not as good as Yogi and Gareki.

Next episode is going to be the first appearance of "Silver", but I believe we won't see him again in the anime. Yogi's arc starts at chapter 60, his past beginning at 61...The anime won't cover it.

Jiki x Tsukumo is great, but I'll still ship Tsukumo x Hirato WHICH will be fucking awesome in ep.9.

Ep.8 and 9 will be my favs for Yoreki and Hiratsu*.*

Yogiiii <3 He's adorable! I love how he wanted to stay as Nyanperowna but had to take care of the malfunction rabbit (which was also adorable). There were a lot of funny scenes in this episode :D definitely made me smile after the last two dark episodes. Gareki being angry/annoyed is always entertaining as well. Lol at Akari wondering why that creature is so attached to him. The whole main cast is just full of lovable characters!

Tsukumo looked so pretty in that mermaid outfit. There just needs to be more of her. And lol Iva was great too.

Gareki in Yogi's outfit was amusing as well. And so was that whole part at the research center.

It seems that my Thursday episodes were lacking some punch this week.

I really liked Tsukumo in the horse outfit and in the mermaid one, but seriously she held her breath for too long.

Not bad though a little slow and I find it hard to believe whats his name couldn't contain the rabbit and needed backup. I guess if he used force the crowd might have been injured or something though. The costumes were pretty good I guess and Gareki wasn't too pleased about having to wear the costume. Tsukumo was awesome as usual and should get more screen time.

4/5

I can't stand how adorable Yogi is. And Gareki it is too in that costume, I love that attitude of "I hate everyone", and unselfish, wanting to kill Yogi, that makes him even more adorable and amaaaaazing.
Tsukumo it's so cute, I really was thinking that she would die or something. I was somewhat negative in that sense.

Quite a good relaxing episode!!!

The parade was on and Tsukumo did a brilliant job as the mermaid and the costumes were well designed. I laughed when Gareki wore 'The Sparkling Prince' outfit and he put his rage on Yogi afterwards and the way how they improvised the play was entertaining.

Looking forward to the snow scenes in the next episode!!

5/5

Honestly, I almost considered dropping this series after the last episode, and I'm still not sure. It feels as if this series is going nowhere, and this episode was no help. It was back to the downtime antics and it's looks like it will be "monster-of-the-week" again next week. I'm getting bored and I hope this show perks up. After Gargantia picked up this week, this show has sunk to the bottom of my spring list.

I give this episode a 5.5/10.

Well I really liked this episode, it was really funny ^^
Gareki's serious response makes me laugh, and I like the characters in general too. I also very much like the voice acting of Tsukumo.
I was a little bothered by her holding a breath for about five minutes (at least), and the rabbit threat really wasn't a threat.

I really like Akari.

I wondered, is there some relation between Hirato, Tsukitachi and Akari...? I noticed when they were all together, the hair colours... purple, pink, light pink. It seemed odd. Maybe it's nothing.

Gareki looks good in a suit.

Good episode.
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak.

This was a calm and fun episode.

Gareki looks cool with horns and a suit. He also looks good as Nyanperona!

Tsukumo is great with costumes. She looks adorable in the horse costume and she's beautiful as a mermaid.

Animals in this episode:
Malfunctioning rabbit robot who likes good people. (Not really an animal)
Cute-Bunny-Thing from Niji Forest! (It's too cute to be an animal)

The ending of the play was hilarious! Go Iva!
And the ending of the episode involves a snowy place. Cool.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

This is pretty darn good, it's very enjoyable for some reason. Hopefully they'll reveal more about the main "plot" soon or this could turn into a generic piece of trash.

I'd expect that people that can fly also can breath underwater with their sorcery, lol.

Probably the best episode so far. I like this show when it doesn't try to be too serious. It's like Kuroshitsuji. When they try to add plot, it gets too forced and clustered.

This episode seemed like a bit of a filler, but it was a nice calm after the previous emotional one. And they definitely needed to give Gareki time to recover (which made the ep really cute with Yogi's idea of having them in the parade, Nai's worries about Gareki and grabbing onto his sleeve, and when Yogi made Gareki wear the mascot suit).

Overall, it was a good ep with really cute moments.

Awww, Nai holding on to Gareki and being concerned when he thought he'd disappeared was so cute!

I can't believe they had to save that girl from the tank because robomouse had shut her in! and they made it part of the story lol.
