----------------------------------------
Some parts of this episode reminded me of Silver Spoon in a way with those animals. Lol @ the knowledge questions though.

Dat history lesson. Lol. Oh well at least they threw in some beauties. That verse reminds me of a bit of Chihayafuru also. Dunno why but I can't help but laugh @ that ED song.

This ep was also pretty lol. Seems like it was just the first ep which wasn't that good. Glad I stuck around :D

Hoozuki being a hard and heavy sleeper was lol. Damn his face when he woke up was creepy XD Poor Shiro hahaha

Hakutaku is a nice addition to the cast. He's a first degree play boy XD But seems he gets dumped frequently hahaha. Well he does get laid so that's all that matters :P

Lol'd at his reaction to seeing Hoozuki behind him XD Their interactions are hilarious XD

How he fell to hell was lol hahaha Hoozuki spending a sleepless night to make it happen XD

Hoozuki's reaction to being told he looks like Hakutaku was lol. His eyes were priceless XD

Lol'd at the reason. And in the end it turns out it's a transgender lololol

How he immediately called Hakutaku and told him to date her if he really thinks she's a girl and he said I only care about the body was hilarious XD

Okay that was infinitely better than episode 2.
Still loving the crap out of the visuals.

I can't believe their rivalry was caused by a wager.
What a twist at the very end and now they'll never get along since there will never be a clear winner.

A bit thin on the plot, imo. But the transgender punchline was good.

Oh man this episode was hilarious XD Hoozuki and Hakutaku are the best comedy duo. I laughed so hard at the part where that bgm came up when Hoozuki held Hakutaku's hand and broke it. Loved the "Ghibli freak" comment he made about Hoozuki. This is way more entertaining as anime than manga. Also, the backgrounds for Shangri-la was beautiful and relaxing.

Hilarious episode, loving how Hozuki gets mad when anyone says he looks similar to Hokaku, IMO HOKAKU IS THE BETTER LOOKING CHARACTER.

That aside, I'm really enjoying this series c:

Definitely the funniest episode so far. I loved how 1000 years later, they are still antagonizing each other over a bet, what sore losers.

So, Hakutaku and Hoozuki weren't brothers after all.

Hoozuki was sure one heavy sleepyhead. He did a pit that connected from heaven to hell was a good one.

And good Doraemon reference in this episode.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAKUTAKUUUUU damn I soooo wanna crossplay as him

Yusa Kouji is always a win thanks for voicing Hakutaku ;A; (+ Hakutaku reminds me of Lau from Kuroshitsuji, both are Chinese, playboy and voiced by Yusa Kouji! XD) (well so do Urataros from Kamen Rider Den-O but he's not Chinese~)

Hoozuki when sleeping = me when sleeping, ohhh psshh

and lmao even if they are next to each other, they would just call instead of facing each other yelling ahahahaha oh these lovelies

"Gh*bli mania" ahaahahahaa

edit: seems like quick reply is playing around with me, I'm so sorry if there are same comments from me (if there are, bc I posted too many time bc I didn't see mine at this thread u_u)

Oh these scary characters who look so cute while sleeping. And then immediately terrifying upon waking, haha. xD; No wonder he was so tired with the beautiful work he did in the night. And all that over that moment of strife a thousand years ago. Which only got renewed fuel now somehow.

This was my favorite episode yet, and the humor based on the interactions between the characters really works for me (compared to some of the other humor based on puns and pop culture). Can't wait to see what the next episodes hold in store!

The chinese dude was better looking but I really like Hoozuki in his cold and serious ways. Damn, his grudge is as deep as that hole he made. "Be proud of the fact that you fell for it." Haha. Really enjoying this series so far.

Well, I'm glad this show is getting better. It seems it was only episode one which was horribly boring (and the first part of episode two which wasn't that good IMO)
I'm actually glad because I really didn't want to drop this.

The dog's too cute.
7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I liked this episode, especially with that addition of Hakutaku to the cast. His awkward relationship with Hoozuki is gold. Haha.
As someone who speaks Chinese, the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese phrases in the episode were a little weird for me to hear. XD

Again, the humor is not fulminant and able to make everyone laugh, if not you can grasp why very end, there is always the opportunity to enjoy the anime as a slice of life.
Drawings and animations good.

Can't believe I dropped this at episode 1, I'm now really regretting it and enjoying this series a ton. A lot of jokes still pass me by (though I do get the references, I simply don't know certain japanese people), but those that I do get are really funny.

I laughed so much this episode, haha. I love the introduction of Hakutaku. He's one of the chars I was looking forward to seeing most because there was a lot of great fanart of him on pixiv. I certainly wasn't disappointed~

Hoozuki is such a sore loser, the rules were simple and agreed upon, you can't raise issues of confusion after the die set and cast. And second time, he still bsing with the chest being male xD
