That was a weird opening song. And I was just about to skip it since I thought it was the usual opening.

Best muscle battle since Major Armstrong and Izumi's husband!

This episode had me laughing all the way through! XD

The new opening was good music wise.
P-ko being really.. REALLY self-conscious about her weight is starting to become scary.
The twin bros being muscley and arguing was hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing.
And Jacqueline's class just top it all off with icing. < 3

I really do wonder if they're going to Venus soon though.

this episode was full of random win. the random op, random ways to weightloss, evil whitey and ultimate muscle
If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

I really enjoyed the new opening to the show, although the Comos vs. Aliens OP is amazing.

When the twins, Samurai, and Hoshi came back from the training, I laughed so much :P
They were hilarious, and Hoshi looked pretty damn manly if I do say so myself.

I loved seeing Stella in this episode, she was great when she was fighting in her small form. I love her cute expressions and when she acts as the 'boss'

Holy Muscle Revolution, nice ;)

Also, after the ending song, the clay model was pretty awesome as well.

I prefer the old opening, "Cosmos vs. Alien." That was actually one of my favorite parts of the anime. This opening was poor IMHO. They got back on track plot wise. It is interesting that now Ko (Ric/Recruit) talks about going to Venus as though he really believes it too now.

the op was the only thing i could do without this ep, it was funny but creepy at the same time.

No, you're not alone, but I don't think he said "Zetsuboushita..." like Itoshiki. I think he said "Wasureteta..." Then again it's the same voice actor, so the reference is still obvious :3

what a weirder-than-usual episode... nonetheless i still lol'd hard... XD
takai singing the op.. hahaha

ric talked fabulously with jacqueline, and he became creepier when he got the massage, but wow! he and mayor lost a lot of weight..

diets and muscles...hmm... Sister was sparkling!! and Stella's just so cute.. XD

Some of the funny lines:
Kou: Have they just been posing the entire time they've argued?
Sister: This is the power of those who love their muscles... Holy Muscle Revolution.. XD

oh, and nice artwork by Hiromu Arakawa at the end.. Sister looks like an FMA character! :)) her last name being arakawa makes me smile because of the association with the series' name.. :P

He actually didn't say anything about despair, it's just something fansubbers came up with.
Sister being so happy cracked me up the most in this episode. Seriously.
Also, the illustration by Hiromu Arakawa in the end, nice!

Brilliant episode! So there were three teams formed to have diets? Ok so, in Piko's team, Piko's strawberry diet should be upgraded to a fruits diet although it was quite funny seeing when she started eating the strawberry stems. It also failed.

Rec looking the way he did after Jacqueline's massage therapy kind of went to males thinking of themselves too beautiful., Jacqueline's poses were nice as I never saw them like that. Mayor also was funny but this team had the most effective way.

The sister team became the Rambo team. Still think Samurai was the best looking among them. The battle between the Tetsuro brothers was great, good mix of emotions lols and fight moves.

Still the fact they changed it was epic itself, although I must say it was a strange one for a OP.

Agreed to both. Stella when she is small and fights is just way better than the big version of her and her expressions when they are serious are a sight to see.
