This episode felt a lot more like SHAFT than the first one did, but i enjoyed it anyway. Proves SHAFT can do something good when they really want to.

Some good animated scenes here, even better than the first episode.
Liked the fact that they make reference to the original manga chapter number, much like SZS,and judging by this and the preview refering the cat boy, kon-senpai is gonna appear as a character instead of this episode's cameo.

Hotori is DANGEROUSLY stupid! That makes the show hilarious!! The voice is so fitting for her character.

I have no idea what this is about, I have no idea why I'm watching this, and I don't really care about any of that, I'll watch it for the lulz.
...Even though I said that... Dat face which wasn't even in this episode makes me want to drop this. (Yes, you should know what face I'm talking about.)

Also, exclude the younger sister and Arashiyama's family is pretty much like mine. Horrible.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Gintoki as the teacher, Maka Albarn as the main character and Buggy the Clown as the cop, these voices are hard to get over for me.

I had my doubts after ep 1, bit this the anime that grows on you over time, I certainly enjoyed this episode and how they interact with various characters.

Omigawa Chiaki maybe a bad seiyuu in many ways and headache to hear BUT when you give her a damn stupid girl character like Arashiyama it just make her a flawless seiyuu. I am not sure myself if I was praising her or looking down on her.

Anyway, much better than the first episode.

Oh, she sucks in my opinion. Her voice truly is repulsive in normal cases eg. Maka and P-ko

Hated her Maka. Loved her P-Ko. I kinda have an iffy relationship with her.

She switches from being okay to annoying in this one though.

Well, I on the otherhand finds Omigawa Chiaki at times annoying and sometimes it's okay, so I guess I have mixed feeling on her voice acting ~Poko

Not funny as the first one, but good episode though. Still, waiting for the girl who plays the guitar in the ending.

When I said that I didn't expect everyone to think as me because everyone has their opinion. Despite I said she is bad, I did mention that she has her own flawless too.

I don't have problem whit Omigawa Chiaki, i blame the directors. She was awesome as Nazuna in HidamariSketch. :D
And lately her voice is somehow more clear, and it definitely a characteristic voice. :)

Kinda boring. The seiyuu who did Maka is just getting more and more annoying in every ep. Gags still aren't funny -- the only point that I laughed was when the megane friend said "you're supposed to do this at night!" in reference to cutting the dentist's sign, and even that wasn't supposed to be a joke (I don't think).

Will wait until the blonde bass player turns up and then I'll see if it gets better.

All I can think of now is Maka in a slice of life comedy.

It's not bad though.

I just don't know why SHAFT is always getting 'especially' rave comments than any other shows. I will rather see animation like this than art getting totally butchered in Bakuman.


This. The animation in this show is actually a lot better than in most other comedy and slice-of-life shows. In most shows the characters don't move a lot when talking to each other and only the mouth movements are animated. Not in this show. Just look at the first scene of this episode inside the café. The characters are constantly in motion. Of course the animators risk inconsistencies that way, but the scenes seem much more energetic, which is a pretty big plus for this show.


Yes! I don't even understand what everyone's complaining about, the animation definitely improved. I think people are seeing some unconventional animation and thinking that it was a failure rather than intentional? Like, maybe people are seeing the way the characters move and thinking "that's not what characters usually look like in the anime I watch, this must therefore be inferior". They *obviously* spent a decent sum on the animation though, so yeah, people are retarded saying how "cheap" shaft is.

Great animation, especially considering the genre and, it's Shaft which makes the animation even more surprising imo. The comedy is hit or miss for me though.

More sexual harrashment to Arashiyama made that maid cafe felt more energic, and more fun! The sign mini arc was hilarious. Poor you Harashiyama, you couldn't defeated that old man!
