This was so bad, still had a funny moment when Urabe said she would have a doll tied to her head if they had sex... oh and when Tsubaki thought that the tickets would work out for sure.
So the only 'development' in this will be droll exchange till the very end? Then i don't see any point in continuing with it. Exchanging lack of development with some nasty droll exchange is rather retarded, and characters are so uninteresting it hurts. They don't even look good so no point in torturing myself with this anymore, especially considering how many good anime i have to watch this season.
Dropped.

So, sir, inquiring about what exactly would you consider to be that development you speak of seems to be quite logical. I'll just conclude that you are talking about the development of feelings between the two, or to be even more precise - about their interactions that would prove those emotions. It's something I would expect to hear from someone who started watching anime two weeks ago and still doesn't understand that that's just how things in anime roll. An actual number of series with a non-meta/pseudo romance is so small that you wouldn't believe it.

I really find it truly hilarious that you seem to be ticked off by the saliva exchange process (which is a de facto premise of the series). So, nice boats, aliens, meta-worlds, infinite power-ups... they're all fine - no matter how cliched and overused they are... but the aforementioned drool sucking is retarded. It makes... makes a lot of sense, really.

The characters are not particularly interesting? Sure thing! There's no red-haired tsundere, blue-haired deredere heroine, pink-haired genki girl, and so forth. I don't get it how in the world could the author of the scenario think that using none of those copy-paste templates of main heroines would make things more interesting? I mean, originality? Who in the bloody world needs it?! Let's just thread the same paths till the end of time - that will make things more interesting for sure, eh?

And those characters are not only uninteresting... but they also look bad. For the autistic part of the audience, that old school style may be a bit infuriating. After all, there's hardly any of those state-of-the-art visual qualities and CG fireworks. It's also not kawaii enough.

Just out of curiosity, what amount of development are you expecting to see in two weeks? So far, the male protagonist has gone from curious but wary of Urabe, to intrigued, to confessing his love to her, to frustrated with their lack of "regular" boyfriend - girlfriend type behavior, to an understating of sorts that his girlfriend, while not very comfortable with physical intimacy, is very much in love with him. Urabe, on the other hand, is a mystery. (Note the name of the anime.) She has strange, supernatural powers, carries scissors in her panties, and seems to even be able to read dreams! If the drooling bothers you that much, fine. But I am truly curious what level of "development" you are looking for in two episodes? Kissing? Fondling? Dreaming about making love? (Oh, wait... they did already, then Urabe read that dream and told him WHEN they do that, she won't be wearing a doll in her hair! That boy is a bit of a pervert, eh?) Or maybe actually having sex? From your favorites list I assume you enjoy slice of life shows. They don't tend to rush right into bed in the first few episodes! Heck, the fact that the couple has even mentioned making love is practically unheard of!

The art style is not your standard, cookie cutter, moe clone, which I love, but I can see it being a negative if you aren't familiar with the old-school art styles the mangaka was influenced by.

This Anime is so unique lmao. I really enjoying this a lot despite it being very weird. Urabe sure is mysterious.

Her scissors 'hobby' is awesome (reminded me of Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari) but I lmao'd so hard when she put them in her panties, like WTF LOL! That scene when she took all her clothes off and told Tsubaki to close his eyes was so good. Clearly showing trust there but man that was executed very well. That nosebleed just from tasting Urabe's drool, wow.

That last scene was hilarious! Urabe knew Tsubaki's dream just from tasting his drool, oh wow! :D

okay so what i got from this episode is that when she feeds him drool is she is turned on etc then he feels that too? and also hints that she can read people's minds/thoughts/dreams or something.... with her being able to see his dream at the end (which btw was hilarious xD) love this show atm, what started off as merely being intreagued has turned into me actually really enjoying this one up to yet!

This stuff is unique but I love it. It reminds me on some level of Bakemonogatari without the killer monsters.

Rewatching this episode I feel like it's an analogy of the whole series: i.e. a gigantic tease. Currently watching the dub of it, watched the sub the first time, and while the voice actors I know and love are there to carry me through it i'm constantly reminded of why this series left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended, seriously). Cause trust me, it's pretty funny, weird and interesting. But as far as she talks about their drool being a bond i find it hella unfair how he gets to taste hers only yet she freely tastes other people's drool, and even gives them hers (including that Oka chick). Sorry if this is a spoiler, not sure if it is though. It's like NTR status to me in some ways, but it hella felt like the main character never really wins he kinda just gets handed small prizes along the way. It's funny but the touching aspect aint too touching imo

I enjoyed the episode :D

Though i find it weird when Tsubaki grabbed Urabe from behind and she suddenly did her scissors attack XD

It seems Urabe has a more deeper feel to Tsubaki. She even went naked when she performed the act. Though does licking a special saliva makes your nose bleed much?? :P

Lol it seems she can know your dreams just by tasting your saliva. When Tsubaki said himitsu, and Urabe said the same thing, i thought it was funny as hell and how she knew about Tsubaki's dream. Yeah having a doll in her head was weird as hell XD

I hope we get to see more of her "special" acts in the next episodes :)

I wonder if Urabe feels any jealousy or something? I have a feeling they'll pull a fast one in the upcoming episodes ^^

This was a good episode. Tsubaki is very sweet. I loved the scenes with Tsubaki and Ueno - they were hilarious! :D

I didn't like Urabe quite as much in this episode as in the first. She came off to me as very cold and bossy, not treating poor Tsubaki very well.

mdz said:
Don't really care for the ecchi, she's not exactly "attractive".

I think Urabe is very attractive. I like the fact that her body looks somewhat more like a real girl's body than most anime girls (she is allowed to have a slightly thicker waist and limbs). And the fact that her eyes are mostly hidden just makes her so much cuter when you do get to see her eyes. :)

unfortunately situatinal comedy (friends, sienfield), sells more for less, whereas romance ends when the characters get together... thats why boku wa tomodachi ga sukenai, the world god only knows, and toradora, and the meloncholy of haruhi suzumiya were all popular... good settings, not good romance, sells more.

Romance does not end when the characters get together. Most writers just don't know how to keep writing romance after the characters get together. A good example of this done well is Chivalry of a Failed Knight (Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry). (Granted, that wasn't release when the above comment was posted.)
