Another great episode :)
Loved the first part with Squid Girl, Eiko, Sanae and Kiyomi playing house with that little girl. I was really laughing throughout that part.

Sanae eyes, they were yandere throughout most of the episode and even had flames of passion in them, that whole playing house scene cracked me up as well as Ika making and following a schedule.

And now we have a scene of Eiko, Sanae and Kiyomi fighting over who should be with Ika. I can almost feel the exploding heads of fanboys everywhere.

Best episode in a while. It actually managed to make me laugh, unlike the previous episodes. That kid in the first part was hilarious.

LMAO. That little girl sure has an f'd up mind for someone so young.
The other two parts were kinda boring though.

Lol @ the random little girl. She needs to spend less time watching soap operas >.<


The last part with the amusement part was sweet... until they showed what actually happened afterwards >.<

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

It was pretty good. I liked how the guy running the amusement park got to work in a bunny girl restaurant. Pretty sexy. But is it me, or did it seem this episode was way too short? Anyways, the ending theme sounds a whole lot like the chorus from the ZONE song, "Boku no Soba ni...". Just realized that.

And I totally thought that the person inside the bunny mascot was Sanae at first XD

Nice episode

1st part- playing house with a dramatic twist.

2nd part- Ika being given a planner and a bag and her finding a use for it.

3rd part- going into some run down amusement park.

That playing house scene was hilarious. Eiko as acting all wife-like was pretty sexy and Sanae fit the role as yandere mistress remarkably well! By the way; that kids knows way too much about that stuff. Too much soap opera's! Who is that Risa anyways? xD

The part with the organizer was so-so. Sanae copying it and going to the hot springs was funny at least. =P

The amusement park disappearing was pretty sad. Blame the economical crysis for it huh? After that he was still able to start a bunny café though! xD

Aw I felt sorry for the caretaker when the lights at the amusement park went off. :3
Then the moment got ruined at the end with the raunchy cafe. imo it would be better if they left that part out.

First segment was hilarious. In this season, there aren't many funny segment....

third segment was cute with some advice to aizawa's family....
Only Ika's cuteness doesn't work after 13-14 eps.... I want more funny!!!

next to 10th ep

That first part was fabulous with that little girl imitating adult problems, funny that it eventually was because of doramas. I really like that voice acting of her, who voiced her?
Both other parts where also really great, this anime just keeps offering awesome stuff without getting bored for a minute.

Is it just me or did this series just get notably better again? I was planning to write about how the stories increasingly fall short in spite of having a lot of potential, but this time it felt like they're back on track :-)

That was one intense game of house - and all thanks to an amazingly cute little girl who's mind has been seriously damaged by soap operas. It's outrageous that those are still legal for minors :-P

The amusement park story had a positively strange feeling to it. It was bizarre, funny and touching at the same time. Nice to see that they can still pull that off.
I totally agree with you.

The first segment with playing house was great! The interaction between the girls was well executed I loved every second of it.

The third mixed playfulness and seriousness well. I felt sorry for the old guy, but I guess he'll manage.

5/5, probably the best episode of the season.

The house part has to be pretty much the best single segment of the show so far, both seasons. Downright hilariously awesome.

this was funny as heck and I guess it wasint her home life just junk tv shows lol. How the heck do you even call this an amusement park with no space and one ride. Oh my god so they do have parents and they seem caring so imma guess that they passed away. The closing of he park was kind of sad which quickly turns to funny with turning it into an adult spot. Well I guess sex sells.

That playing house part was so hilarious. As expected, Sanae took it 100% seriously, haha.

Risa has watched too much soap operas. :P

The last part with the amusement park was pretty sad, although it ended in a funny way. Little Eiko and Chizuru looked cute in that flashback. :3

I've only got 6 words for the segment of this episode and they are: "Best intense session of House ever!". Seriously it was just bloody hilarious, it had me in stitches. Risa, I have seriously got no idea what goes on in your head but it seems to me throughout this entire segment it was like your thoughts were just bouncing around really fast because her being obessed with the soap opera was so random! XD Squid Girl and Eiko's reactions to her mirrored me in real life in response to Risa in general just the plain looks of: "What the hell is going on with this kid?" The best part for me is when it's revealed that she got her ideas for her Play House session from the soap opera on TV and her mum just sees her watching the show from the doorway, her response is basically: "Ah there she goes again with her soap operas. Seriously, why can't she just watch something normal for a change?" Implying that it isn't the first time that she's had to put up with this happening. XD It was so deadpan and nonchalant, it was absolutely brilliant.

The second segment was probably the weakest out of all three of them. Because it was basically just Squid Girl just running around with a planner, stuff keeps happening to throw off the schedule, basically she doesn't get things done and it's just chaos. Just rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat for the rest of the segment. Sanae being in the hot tub was a good bit though.

Third segment a lot better than the second one but maybe a tad bit depressing, fun but depressing for the most part. Well at the very least he got a new job! XD Excellent episode for the most part I'd say.
