The real trick to those claw games is watching other people then count the number of losses before each win. Some machines its same every time. The claws are rigged to be too weak most the time to pick anything up.

Those arcade guys remind me of the clerks from lucky star. XD


Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that!


^This xD With the monologues/dialogue and UMR just destroying them xD Jist like Konata and the Anime strore staff xD

I laughed a lit at Pokéhamu and the BGM/SFX, that was cool xD


I think....I may stick with this, the tantrums stopped as well, so :)

I think the one thing that caught my attention the most in this ep is how Umaru is able to fix back that broken toy into almost perfect one(excluding the face drawing part).- should learn a bit from her...


IKR!? Despite it being made of porcelain, she managed to repair it up to the point that not even the slightest crack was visible. Such a pro. That, and the fact that she used oniii-chan's wallet to buy all the tools...thanks, onii-chan.

Now, I wonder how many had to go back to check the toy's original face.

I also love that Psycho-like BGM. So fitting to the mood of the moment XD.

That arcade will go bankrupt with the OPness of UMR!
Ebina is so adorable playing tennis! >_<
Umaru also knows her big brothers debit/credit card PIN!
There is someone who is more superior than Umaru when it comes to arcade games! It's: Sylphynford!!! But still UMR wins by default! cuz Sylph suddenly ran away.
After the episode ends, I'm confused why Sylph ran away when she saw Alex. And i kept questioning my self...how are they related? seems that they knew each other...and then when I looked at MAL character profiles...i now understand why.
4/5.

I thought Tachibana was annoying at first but seeing her run away and her brother chase her made me like her more.

Sylphy is my love. I just love how she blushed when she was looking at her brother. I don't think it's because she loves him. I mean, it's not incest. She was just embarrassed that she was caught saying embarrassing stuff in front of her brother. I get that feeling. Anyways, I really like her. She might not be the best at studying (tho 2nd is still pretty damn good) but she is a boss at video games. And her dere is absolutely adorable <3

So a focus on Sylphine (or something ... I can't spell her name T_T) this episode! The tennis match was pretty funny. Kirie's secretly super good huh? :P Plus seems like Sylphine is Alex's sister too. Their reactions were so different to their older brothers watching ... Umaru wants to show off whereas Sylphine got embarrassed enough to run away XD Pretty impressive how Umaru could repair that nodding cat though ... except for the Pikachu face LOL XD
Summer vacation next episode! Should be another fun one :D I've been a bit behind on this show ... >_<

Funny enough the whole episode. Too bad that in the end it's not clear if it is Alex's brother Tachibana or another.Only fault I have this TV series, it is not to deepen well the character of the actors, there is too little space to Umaru and for the rest, so you throw away the potential of this TV series. Ugh!

UMR would've actually lost that match even if she didn't do anything at that time... pretty much a cheat if you ask me.

What's up with Migu?

Wow, Umaru's a better gamer than Kirito (not anywhere near as good as " " though)!

I'm not a gamer anymore but my favourite video game genre is fighting games so this was entertaining :D
Sylphin would have obviously won that but whatever xD

4 episode straight for 4/5 but actually 3.8/5.

This show should tagged as parody.

The most funniest was catcher game where Umaru show off her several techniques what amazed me and got respect. That was hilariously funny XD
When I watched Niagara Falls, it reminded me of Gintama where Shinpachi plays a Tetris and he breaks a wall of the opponent, LOL.

This show is better than Detective Conan where I currently reading.

-Interesting how Sylphy got flustered and bailed despite being on the verge of victory. Guess she's destined to always be in second. Her flamboyance and extravagance is quite entertaining.

Kirie pulled a Djokovic, slide so hard and then win the point. Considering how rarely I enjoy non real tennis matches, this one was pretty entertaining.
Umaru when focused, she's absolutely the GOAT in everything, except when gaming against Sylphin.

I like how Sylphynford is very competitive with Umaru who's like perfect in everything she does. And she's not just your typical character who's doing it solely for attention or for the rivalry with the protagonist and she's not upset when losing, she does not look down on people and she just like competing in general. Very interesting.

The tennis match was great, and Kirie always makes me laugh.
It's a really fun episode and I love the gamer aspect of Umaru.
I wonder how Tachibana and Alex's relationship will continue.
Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an

Another great episode! And I'm starting to love Sylphin too! She may be competitive, but she's also lovable and alluring. The way she challenges Umaru is like challenging a friend! They don't even look like they're rivals at all!

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

She almost unknowingly beat Umaru at gaming the things she's best at. That's impressive. Though she hasn't ever beat Umaru she's still crazy good at many things. Rooting for her.

Good episode.
Umaru in those red clothes and the cap, is my favorite design of her.
The best character carrying her in tennis and seems like she is in love with her.
Umaru is so talented for being able to fix the porcelain and Tachibana has a strange name I never remember, she isnt dumb as I thought even almost beat Umaru in what she is best.
The best character will have more protagonism in the next episode yay
