Seeing a bunch of guys taste their meal feels different than the girls...
Well their reactions are kinda the same when they see Koizumi eat her food lol

Kinda nice to seeing spinach and other little details aded in their meals. Looks delicious!

I dunno if I would have believed you had you told me that this episode would end up being my least favorite so far after starting with Misa showing off her tits in a swimsuit, but here we are. Damn shame Koizumi and Jun weren't at the beach btw, and Koizumi who you tryin' ta kid with keepon' your future goals a secret: you future president of all ramen you! XD But that aside really it was just that very boring second half with the random guys I didn't care about. To a large extent this series is really just a large ramen infomercial disguised as a series, but it's key that I can actually at least somewhat enjoy the wraparounds that lead to the inevitable ramen infodump. Things like Koizumi helping a lost little girl or Yuu waiting in line on behalf of Koizumi, or even Koizumi with Jun in the first half this week work well enough, but the scene with just the four dudes and a very small Koizumi cameo at the end just bored me and seemed to go on forever. Oh well, better luck next week.

Cooking the broth and noodles separately for instant ramen never occurred to me, but it makes sense. Keeps all that starch released from the cooking noodles out of the broth.

I wouldn't call them random, coz one of the guys is Yuu's brother

My theory is that two of those guys beside Yuu's brother are also related to the other girls (Misa and Jun) one could be Misa's ex or brothers of the two

It's pretty funny how Misa is jealous that Yuu wants to look at all the other girls. Second half of ep was dedicated to Yuu's brother and friends. And of course what else would they do besides eat ramen. It was alright I guess.

Well, apparently you don't need a boring class to lose all your thoughts, you just need a bowl of ramen. The guys were so excited over their ramen too, especially the denier, once he got into it. Them watching Koizomi-san was so great. It's almost like a group of middle school or high school boys watching a girl they all adore.

Misa looks gorgeous in her bathing suit. Got to see a bunch of guys eat some ramen and one of them was converted. Their reactions seeing how Koizumi eat her food was amusing.

Besides the fact that we dont need guys in this anime, and they should never appear again.
Seems like everyone relationship with Koizumi-san has slowly progressing except Yuu. Sad and funny.

Dear Koizumi-san, if you usually make mistakes when making instant ramen, clearly you need Yuu to cook for you more. *nods*

Yuu has a better nose than most dogs...

So thre's this cute chick called Koizumi who loves noodles and ramen but can't cook them.
While cooking instant noodle is something I'm very good at.
I wonder if I have a chance with her...

I have to agree with the majority, Yuu is kinda boring already so there is no need to make it worse with his brother and co lol. Anyway, the first half was passable.

preparing instant ramen can also be tedious! you can't get the right condition of the noodles, usually its soggy!
So now we also have Ramen boys group!
4/5.

btw the full ED is now released by Shiena Nishizawa, just search it, keyword: "[180221] TVアニメ「ラーメン大好き小泉さん」EDテーマ「LOVE MEN HOLIC」/西沢幸奏 [MP3]"
track 1: LOVE MEN HLIC
track 2: Gray Blaze <- another rockingly awesome piece by Shiena!

Ah, both parts were really interesting. If I found instant ramen like that I might like it ... personally I don't like instant ramen here because the soup and noodles both taste bad IMO :P Watching the guys eat was cool too, something different. They could be a boy band or something hahaha XD I've never tried having rice with my ramen soup, maybe I'll try that next time :O Then I can try using the seaweed with the rice too. I like how the blond guy was super unimpressed at the restaurant then became a huge fanboy LOL XD

First half was alright, we got to see the girls in swimsuits and also more Jun/Koizumi. And Yuu being Yuu with her Koizumi obsession.
2nd half was rather refreshing. That one dude with purpleish hair, deep voice lol
I do agree rice with ramen is pretty good. Koizumi at the end creating a mini dish from the other bowls toppings, that was rather interesting to see.

See Misa with red Fits her perfectly I agree with yuu I too wanted to see everyone in bathing suits. Oh my god The second half was so boring I thought I was watching the wrong anime for a second and then I notice koizumi san and realize nope it's just a bad episode which is weird because the show was somewhat starting to get better.

Koizumi is really bad at cooking Heh.

Also, boy squad with Yuu's big bro. Its okay I guess. And seeing a cute girl like Koizumi eat makes food really delicious.

Well, the second part was actually refreshing. They don't have to appear in every episode but at least it's something new and I liked them better than Yuu.

And Misa, she looks perfect in that swimsuit, I wish she'd appeared more :/

Has anyone noticed that the group of guys were like girl counterparts with personalities swapped? The blonde guy(Koizumi) doesn't like ramen, Long haired guy(Misa) is unkept, Glasses guy(Jun) is laid back and nonchalant and Yuu's brther isn't obsessed with Koizumi.

Damn right, Yuu. I also want to see Jun and Koizumi wearing bikini.Kyaa!!! I said it!!! :3
So Yuu's big bro had friend that his face is "concealed" thanks to the hair but had impressive knowledge huh? And he also didn't talk much. Feels like a perfect fit for Koizumi
Just kidding, Yuu. >_<

Hmmm... More than anything, this episode was super-boring. If they are doing promotions of those ramen dishes they are honestly bad at it and zero character developement from Koizumi (plus that unimpressed face of her) topped with four boys who speak about nothing else than food is really not my idea of fun.
If they took inspiration from Takunomi, it was be a lot better, this series is mostly full of needless infodump and repetetive foodporn.

Yeah, extremely boring episode at best.

YAY another Jun and Koizumi part. Somehow their mellow interest with one another is the better part of this series.

I had wondered why Koizumi didn't just make ramen herself, outside of instant really but I guess she somehow sucks at cooking. Despite me thinking she'd want to master making it, she really just wants to master eating it.

The shop they go to where they have different local instant ramen around Japan piqued me. I'd love to visit something like that one day!

Brother with his college friends was okay, glad that it's not stuck on just showing the girls constantly but I don't know, it was a little lackluster other then the fact that I should be having rice with my ramen but THE CARBS.
