I liked last week's episode more but this one wasn't bad either. It's one of those shows that makes you impatient for the next episode to air. Too bad it's only going to be 12 episodes long. If they don't cover everything in the manga, I'll go ahead and read that.

Dat ED.

Lol at the cappuccino scene, purikura scene, cabaret scene, and red light district scene!
Lol at the entire episode! I really enjoyed it!

But what I like the most is that in this episode, Tomoko became the gray one for once.

Yay for Tomoki and his grab!

This series is a never ending cringe comedy parade, but at least she is genuinely trying to improve herself... too bad the executions of her intentions are always terrible.

What a way to destroy a large good cup of Cappuccino, Tomoko, still up to her usual boring ways.

Wow, Tomoko has just introduce a new way of eating Pocky, unfortunately, that kind of snack is hard to come by here in Mexico.

Oh god Tomoko, you are so painful to watch, which is why I can't stop watching this show.

How the fuck Tomoko could even think about working as a cabaret girl and wandering into the red light district at night is a little far fetched to me. But I can totally relate to how Tomoko tried to order a cappucino - ordering stuff from a coffeeshop when you know absolutely nothing about coffee can be pretty intimidating.

Oh and thanks a lot to the person who said chapter 11 of the manga was disgusting, you made me go and read it - angryface.jpg.
Go ***k yourself.

Actually, this is one of the first episodes to actually make me feel genuinely bad for Tomoko. The other episodes I feel had masked it humour, this is one of the first where I actually saw her cry due to her loneliness. I do hope she has *something* good happen to her.....

And I literally laughed my headphones off when Tomoko gave that little 'pucker'. Major props to the BGM in this ep, 'twas awesome.

Watching her get pictures taken by herself was the most cringe-inducing thing ever (although not as much as her dad finding her asleep with BL and a vibrator).

This episode was kinda boring and slow for me. Hopefully the next one will be better!

I guess Tomoko has one skill down pat: making troll faces. She probably means well, but I think that a lot of people will not think of someone as cute and cool when you make such faces.

And it's becoming clear that her lack of social skills has made her incredibly naive. I mean, she takes advice from a TV show to heart and wanders in to a red light district, a place where a high school girl shouldn't even be caught dead at. Fortunately, Lady Luck manages to prevent anything bad from happening to her, but someone needs to give this girl some proper guidance, and fast, before she really does something she'll regret later.

Still, her misfortune is still good for plenty of laughs. Like when the music suddenly sobered down after Yuu told her she was too busy to hang out with her, leaving Tomoko crushed. The scene at the cafeteria was quite saddening to watch, especially when she adds all that stuff in it, making it even more undrinkable (to her anyway, I love a good cup of cappuccino). And seeing her fall of the chair was both funny and gut-wrenching.

And then those photos. Acting cutesy is clearly not her forte. And any cute-ish face she makes is cringe-worthy. I'm sure a lot of people would find them (and Tomoko as a whole) immensely creepy.

And to top it all off, we get another out of place ED that fits the scene so incredibly well. If the predictions are true, then I have a really hard time understanding why not more Japanese people like this show.

You've got to hand it to her: She's exceptionally skilled at pissing off her brother, needing only a few seconds to get maximum results :-P If there was a way to somehow use this skill to get popular, this show would be over in a matter of minutes.

Some time ago I also thought about how emotionless characters would totally fail in real life, except people are extremely interested in them. I have to admit, though, that I also thought about getting along better if I acted on a character stereotype not too long ago :-S At least it didn't last long.

I was surprised she actually went so far as to visit the red light district. That's a lot of trouble for a spontaneous idea like that, but then again I know how it is to be all fired up for the worst ideas. Why must the right and constructive stuff always feel so uninteresting? :-P

I am/was pretty similar to her, and it pretty accurately paints the picture. And yea, no one gives a fuck or notices. That's how it is. It's part of the reason I like this show so much.

Also, in regards to the episode: It seems like the funny is going down and the cringe/feels are going up. I don't know how much more I can handle :P


I understand that insecure/anti social tendencies, but it's a big world and it seems glance over certain small things. For example, shes in the same classroom with the same people yet, barely anyone has tried to talk to her or invite her to something. I don't know, maybe it's more of a cultural thing and people don't butt in? The show would really open up for me if we got other peoples view of her. Yeah, it's a comedy, but I don't think it's for me. Especially since no one has been able to answer if it gets better for her, I figure it doesn't. So I guess I'm out.

This was a good episode, especially the photo booth scene and when she put the stickers in her brother's room also the ED of course. This might be the funniest anime I ever watched.

Because it requires real effort. This not limited to Tomoko or people like her, it is human nature, that is why there is a bunch of "magic" products on cable tv to lose weight and people buy them knowing damn well that (unless you have some condition like a damaged thyroid gland) all you need is to stop eating junk and do some moderate exercise. I could fill complete pages with similar examples.
