LOL, Nyarko and that gorilla delusion. Oh wow, this anime..

Seriously though, Minori's room decorated like that? I know where this one is going. Looks like the mc got a message from Gaia to fight on. How odd.

Monkey stealing foods? A plan to how to prevent that. Otaku looking guy as a hunter? and taking it to the zoo. Wanting the idol girl to smile... failed. Or rather, she cannot smile and sees monkey like her own (cannot be in where she originally is anymore). Dead land recovery project... interesting. Like those tomatoes, her feeling came back.

No ED.

Because Ringo is Worse than the Girl Genius Shiina Of Pet Girl Of Sakurasou, I Hope that She Will Admit She Really Is Idol Herself. Besides, I Hope that The Protagonist Will Confess His Feeling To Ringo.

Not bad ep.

Countermeasure meeting was funny XD
Kei shooting them all down was lol

Yoshida and her stumbling is just cute <3

The Otaku hunter was lol. Dem Abs XDXDXD

Minori's room visit was just hilarious XD She was totally willing to do it XD

Didn't expect her not being to smile would be the reason for quitting. So is this like Henneko when she couldn't smile or show emotions anymore?

Kei's dark matter XD

Tickling scene was pretty hot :3

Nice smile at the end with the tomato.

Does Minori want the D? I think we can answer that question with a big YES
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

I really like this ep about Ringo's character development which was sweet when she smile.

Have a feeling we'll be going back to over-the-top whacky humors next week again though it doesn't matter as long there's more developments like this week.

Pretty good episode, some funny moments and yet some drama moments.

At least we get a bit of information of why Ringo can't be an Idol anymore as she can not smile. LOL their ideas of investigating the vandalize field in class. A little misunderstanding when Minori decorated her room. I suddenly lost it when Kei says "Dark Matter" XD. Yay Ringo smiled at the end :D.

1. Ya… i stopped half way in this episode. there's absolutely no story or anything significant happening.

2. Can't stand the comedy because they're always loud or yelling.

3. Had to keep rechecking the genres every episode to see what I'm getting myself into: 70% insane/useless comedy, 29% ecchi, 1% romance + no story. What a shitty ratio.

4. There's youtube and such to supply everyone with better crap than Nourin. Thank you Nourin for sacrificing yourself for me to realize how much valuable youtube and my other stuff truly are.

5. Other than just wanting to watch the ED songs of this series of each episode, this series is just load of shitty crap for shallow people.

Lol the ticking turned into full on yuri. Ringo gave a little smile at the very end so their efforts weren't in vain. Also Lol @ that room scene Minori really knows how to get her hopes up. And in the laundry room did Kei really show her his d**k? He really thought that would get her to smile? LMAO

So I finally have something I care about in this anime, and if you found the full version, that was a pretty touching ending. I'm glad I did find the full verison because the last two episodes have left such a terrible taste in my mouth, and that ending makes me not want to drop it just yet.

Wondered about the Gaia dream (or wallaby dream), however that last couple of minutes on the full version really tied it all together. This show needs a few more moments like that to elevate it above being just another love-triangle comedy.

This was much better than last week's episode :D That blatant Phoenix Wright objection and Nyaruko poster lol.

That scene with Kei wearing a gray tracksuit/mechanic clothes, that's totally from Kuso Miso Technique. A part of me wishes I had never known where it's from lmao.

That wakadanna dream was creepy!

Yes , Gaia is the personification of Earth in the Greek mythology.

"Remember what you humans have done to me."
Me means Earth.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

Last week I said that this anime is deceptively educative and this episode continues on that note. I hope they can focus more on crop planting and expand on their effort to revitalize the soil instead of just cramming as many cheesy jokes as possible. I'm glad they also focused on crops & plants instead of animals like Gin no Saji, this way two agricultural anime in the same period don't seem useless.

That being said what pleasant me the most during this episode is the revelation that Ringo didn't come to the rural area just because some anonymous fan sent her phallic-shaped fruits/plants (that would be very lame and cheesy imo).

Who the hell shows their Dark Matter in front of a petite girl anyway?! (except for a rapist)

It's a nice episode and definitely better than last week's. The comedy is also a bit better (at least it made me smirk). The OST at the end is pretty damn good too.

And dat smile was cute.

Hey, did anybody saw that otaku guy showing a Nyaruko san W poster?

Geez, man them Japs can kill a monkey? Man in Brazil where I went once,natives there ate monkey's as delicacy, and frankly it taste like chicken.

Lol, Minori getting ready to get banged, unfortunately the guy is too stupid to notice.

While I was on the verge of skipping the show.
The developments shown the last minutes are enough to keep me going.

Finally some decent episode, I wish this one would go after ep1, scrap those two previous that was horrible. Now we need even more backstory, I really hope they forget those silly scenes and do something like this next time. It wasn't anything special but at least it was worth of watching.

I didn't care what I see but I saw a parody of Danganronpa and Nyaruko poster xD
I feel like I was watching Seitokai Yakuindomo.Inoue Marina's voice is similar to Hikasa Youko and that's helped me to think this way.
This anime has a random comedy but it is funny.I've a lot of time therefore I'll continue to watch it until it's finished.
