That was kinda cute XD

I'm still getting used to Shaft's style tbh. Why so surprised Raku?! Also, seems like Chitoge hates getting hit on lol. "Darling". Poor Onodera...

ED song is alright I guess.

And it begins fo'real. Bring it SHAFT. My body has been ready for months.

Darling.

The art seems really unfitting but it's undeniably good and it just makes it that much more hilarious. The hell is up with the ED though? Whatever the case is, this was a very good ep. I laughed so many times.

Also, that start with words flashing across the screen - It attempted to be so serious that I just burst laughing.

Oh well, got over Nisekoi being Shafted.

Seriously love how Chitoge is so desperate to pretend to be Raku's girlfriend especially in front of the gangsters and Onodera!!! Hahaha. It was good to see more than one chapter animated.

ED theme of Chitoge is nice... hopefully we get something from the other heroines too like Onodera.

Shaft is doing a great job on this adaptation. Really liking this series so far.

Lol at the gangsters’ reactions to Raku and Chitoge going out. Love when they both started to play along.
Great episode. So many hilarious moments. Some pretty cute moments as well. That scene with Onodera ;_;

Really well done. Good job Shaft ^^

Loved the shafting with the Gangster scene. They all felt like BAs while they're actually a hilarious bunch XD

Raku and Chitoge's acting was lololol XD She had some cute scenes like when she told him she likes romantic stories like that :3

Chitoge was funny during the date but she should've at least acted a bit more dere instead of complaining and sleeping throughout XD

Poor Raku having to make that decision in front of Kosaki. She totally thinks they're dating now. Still Kosaki is just tooo KAWAIII >.<...Loved her dress <3

Only thing that makes her not top material for me in the manga is how reluctant she is and how she can't just come out and say it :(...Even telling him she's never seen it before T_T

What's with the ED though? It's like Chitoge being the flash back girl is what they're indicating although it's not even confirmed in the manga.

Lol'd at the skit with how the animals hate Raku and Rodriguez IV XDXDXD

It's not shaft hate, mate. It's whether the animation fits the theme.
First episode was psychedelically weird. This episode had way less of that sort of shit, so I personally thought it was okay (am anti-shafting, mind you).
As for those complaining that they didn't shaft it enough, dudes this is a rom-com, this is how its suppose to flow like, don't like it, don't watch it.

I'm glad they stuck to the story line and animated it properly this time around, though the comic panel "are we a couple, hell no we ain't" part could have been done traditionally (my only complaint for this ep).

Love the manga and this episode was strangely satisfying. I can't wait to see how they animate Raku digging himself into those oh so deep holes.

Can't wait to see Tsugumi and Marika make their apperances!

And the "Fake relationship" begins to maintain peace with the two factions. Though this is going to be difficult for Raku and Chitoge XD.

This episode was actually pretty good. The pacing of it is decent then the 1st one which there is too much fast pace. Also, I'm getting used to Shaft's art and animation in it so I hope they will make it as great like this episode.

Lol at the post credit scene about animals XD.

I actually like the fact that shaft is doing this show. I know a lot of people are saying it doesn't fit with the show. But honestly I believe it does. I understand why people would be against it since their are a lot of other way to portray this kind of show. But my own personal taste likes this kind of style. But these are all opinions, but I would ask to try to give this show a chance to impress you instead of being pushed off by it being "Shafted".

I like where this show is going all the main characters are pretty likable, and the few side characters do their jobs well of advancing the plot and building up drama. I also am buying the forced relationship aspect which usually doesn't click with me, and a overall good love triangle is brewing. I must this show is impressing me.

11/10 would rage hard again!

Seriously, it's been quite some time since I've hated someone with such passion as Chitoge. The worst part is probably how it's obvious that Raku and Kosaki are in love with each other, and emphasizing it is like rubbing salt into the wound of Chitoge snatching him in the end. If only Onodera would have told the truth, short anime, but would have been better then what will inevitably unfold.

Anyway, at least SHAFT is doing a good job, not that it can be saved or anything. 3/5.

This adaptation is spot on! I noticed it last episode but this one confirms it! Shaft is following the manga almost exactly, only missing a few minor details. This is amazing as I was hoping this would be the case for this series, and I'm more than satisfied :D

I am still not used to seeing Nisekoi in Shaft's depiction but nevertheless it is still incredibly visually appealing.

I can't wait for the other main characters to show up :3

I love it! As someone who reads the manga, I think Shaft is doing a great job so far. And I'm getting more used to the animation style.

Chitoge looking good as always, though Onodera is cute too.

The OP is still great, and I like the ending too.

Can't wait for next week!

Why does everyone complain about this show not suiting for Shaft style? Shaft can do anything. I personally wouldn't start watching this show if it was an ordinary rom-com by J.C Staff or another studio.

Because the first episode got me used to the way Shaft is animating this, this episode felt much more natural than the first one. As for what happened, I'm happy to see they are following the manga route closely with a bit of anime humor in between.

Definitely enjoying the first part of the ride so far.

I´ve never watched an anime made by Shaft, but in my opinion the style fits. In this case I love the fast animation and the fact that the expressions are exactly like in the manga.

I´m kinda surprised that only one person commented on the ED because when I saw it I was really surprised for a moment. It could be a hint on what could happen at the end of the story, but that would be to easy. It looks like they want to trick us :P.

It's starting to show Shaft animation, which i feel like not the best animation for this series. Shaft is good for dark themed anime and this should be more light and fun. Not that shaft cannot show those emotions, but maybe the lighting should be more brighter.

Pay attention to Onodera's key at the ending of the episode, and then the key that actually appears in the ED.

This won't really come as anything fancy for those following the manga, though.

Thoughts:
6:30 wtf is with the gorilla eye-catch?

8:30 how weird it is to sleep in a bed in the very center of one's bedroom…

8:57, 11:50 kirisaki's rape faces

10:27 kirisaki x ichijo at the movie posters. i'm starting to open up to them after hating them in episode 1

13:19 kirisaki gave today's date a 1 on a 1-100 scale… doesn't that mean it's the worst date ever? & their reactions made it even confusing

13:46 onodera's timing in the park is perfect yet creepy. Her dress is so attractive that it makes me wish I could be a girl just to wear something like that… how fucking sad...

16:22 that comedy manga strip was clever and well executed. Good laughs

-----------------
Overall:
1. In episode 1, Ichijo x kirisaki were way too loud that I tune them out sometimes

2. Hate how this series shows those "fast images." It's like I'm gonna have a seizure or something

3. Yakuza setting = boring. It's just a bunch of old grandpas and their swords. But they're basically used to force the ichijo x kirisaki to be a couple.

4. The story is unique & great: being force to love each other against their wills (with a 3rd wheel)

5. I LOVE ONODERA = SUPER SWEET, LOVE HER DRESS IN THIS EPISODE

6. ED was cute, song was boring tho.

7. Fuckin hell, I didn't like episode 1 at all & was convinced that i was gonna drop this 1. but episode 2 just made it become my "#1 must watch" anime of 2014

Ep2: 9/10

They're obviously growing on each other slowly from the arranged relationship. Onodera's gonna finish last with all that hesitation. Not very original, but it's still fun to watch.
