I noticed a lot of fanservice anime this season, maybe nogizaka is heading that direction too?
I thought it was strange how Yuuto didn't pass out from staying in the hot springs for so long.
haha, we almost got a confession out of Haruka, too bad someone had to interupt it.
BTW, Alice is a cutie pie, in a scary kind of way. I wouldn't want to mess with her...lol

I've seen censor steam before but that was just overkill there. Heck, they might as well go with a full screen of white ><

Alice-chan just climbed my "favorite character" list up into top 20 seeing how she wields that Dokuro-chan style club XD

Nobunaga making a random appearance like that is just awesome lol. Never doubt the mega Otakus! WE KNOW ALL!

One last comment: Wasabi...yea...

Well, I don't mind the censoring since I'm not really into ecchi with girls in it (since I'm a girl myself) but I gotta say...that's the WORST censoring I've ever seen in my life. O_O
Total OVERKILL.
At this rate, I wouldn't mind watching the uncensored versions. x'D

That sub was HORRIBLE and I wanted to cry while watching the whole thing. D:
But I'll wait for w00f's (hopefully) subs :'3
So I can re-watch that episode over. :']

Ahaha~ at first I thought they had a downgrade on the animation. Lawl
Since I saw a Shiina, Mika and her two maids look-alikes there too xD (and felt disappointed for awhile)
But then the title came up and that's when I thought "wait, Idk this anime...when did I download this?" lawl xD
It came almost too late for me to realize that it's an actual show in their world. xD Haha
Then they had to go use Noto Mami-chin's voice in it too...that made me 'lawl' even more. Haha xD (Oh and it didn't help that her name's close to Haruka's name either xDD)
But I love both the OP & ED~ :'3 Sequences and songs both. ♥

The whole thing was LOVELY. x'3
And I've been waiting for this for awhile now! x'3 Yey~
Thank gawd! ♥
I can't wait for the next episode! ^0^
I didn't expect this to be this GOOD...but then this IS Nogizaka Haruka and...Noto Mamiko. xD Haha~ ♥

PS. I'm starting to love Alice-chan! x'D
And the ED is definitely adorable x'3

I guess Shina x Yuuto x Haruka will be the main focus of this season, and of course we are still didn't heard the 3 words..

Really you guys...we shouldn't blame HorribleSubs for the horrible translations...it was RIPPED from Crunchy.. O_o DUHR.
HorribleSubs are just encoding it in and also...they don't really care either since they're just doing it to piss the living daylights out of CrunchyShit. xD

Well, maybe I'm strange, but this whole onsen part reminded me of Green Green - especially when these three guys were spying on girls :P

And I don't like Shiina falling for Yuuto - it's so cliché it hurts ==' Why it ALWAYS have to be a love triangle?

But anyway, it was a decent episode - really enjoyable to watch.

I went with the Loner release. Crunchyroll subs + AT-X video.

Subs were wonky. Service was intact and fantastic.[/]

I'm looking forward to the rest of the show.

The censor was really annoying. At some points it even took about the half of the whole screen... jeez. This was even worse than the Chaos;Head censor, in which someone suddenly got an arm back. Anyhow...

Alice-chan, cool. The only thing that was missing was the real lolita and now every type of stereo-type maid should in it by now. Brass knuckles, awesome.

About the subbers: I downloaded the Mamiko subs. Warning: they have a very SMALL font and some small mistakes. They need a better typesetter and checker. T_T

Anyhow, high chances of me dropping this.

Just wanna remind everybody that the reason the censors are so crazy is because of all the whining at Crunchyroll for airing the uncensored Juuden-chan when it was coming out. So yeah. Sucks.

Aww..not a fan of Kugimiya Rie...I'm tired of her voice. D:
But I can't just be biased because of that though...
Besides... the "Bui" (or "V") that she posed and said in that episode was too cute to resist. x'3 Hehe

I don't know if it's common knowledge or what not but I'm quite certain the censorship (I haven't watched it yet) is Crunchyroll's doing as they did with Juuden-Chan(whereas the episodes I D/L that aren't CR's have no censorship).

Since horriblesubs just takes it from crunchyroll and re-distributes it, it makes sense the censor is still there where as it won't be when we get some real subs.

So for those displeased by it, re watch it when another version is out.

Once more, I'm stating this if by chance it's not known or obvious to some/most people.

I don't really mind censors covering up certain stuff but do they have to make the censors so blinding?...

Decent episode....at least for what I was expecting from this type of show. I hope there's not too much drama on romantic competition....I thought that would have ended with last season.

And yeah I can hardly remember some of the characters...

Agreed on this. Over-censoring was annoying. The typical hot spring cliche was annoying, but served its purpose well enough. The ending was cute, and so were the chibis in the ending theme. Pretty good new OP and ED, too. Hazuki is still awesome, even if she pretty much is Maid!Yuki.

I didn't think the censoring was all that bad
but for those that really care, the [Shinji-w.​0.​0.​f.] sub is uncensored.

I think I prefer Mamiko though.

And it was an OK/decent episode. Some funny stuff like the crazy geyser. But really, they should accept their relationship by now.
Oh, and I liked the chibi ending song, lol

I like the new maid Alicetia with her expressions and violence when needed. I was surprised at the higher perverse things in this season than last season. The wasabi joke was funny.

is anyone else here tired of all the "fanservice" we get nowadays? its like they they dont care about the plot anymore in all the new animes and just massproduce fanservice anime with overcensoring.... just because they want us to buy the dvd... its not anime anymore, its like a 5 hour long trailer for a animated pornmovie... it feels like anime is dying because they just use the same characters, the same plots (notice how there is always a "at the beach" or "onsen" episode)....

when will they make real anime again? im tired of these crappy pseudo animes.

Seems that they added some fan-service here huh ?.. well Its not bad , i only hope it'll not turn into ecchiness :P Am i complaining one am i not ? haha :P

I personally am not fan of fan service but i like when theres more then just kissing scene. Gets me feeling that their relationship is rly serious one :p

My own explanation of this phenomena for myself by myself haha
Japanese got such type of culture. They have to keep every possible rules for behavior thats why they probably need some "freedom" in this type of service hehe. (ofc its connected to higher sales too)
I can imagine that if European guy at the age of 17 sees pants nothing rly happen, he might not notice but Japanese might get nosebleed probably haha dunno :D

Dunno how is it in other countries but in mine its nothing unusual to at at the age of 15 go to coed hothouse (equal to hot springs) where everyone's naked (with towel usually under them self). Imagine Japanese guy there he would become anemic haha :D
That probably why its so exciting for them :)

It was pretty much obvious that Haruka's interested in Yuuto (and likewise), so I don't really see why they keep dragging the releationship the way they did. Didn't they even confess in the first season? Whatever... Fanservice in the first episode is never a good sign, it made me think the show was made purely for that reason. They should at least have waited until later... Let's see how this develops

Didn't see any steam (besides on Haruka's shot), so perhaps I downloaded the DVD/Blu-ray version?

Pretty sure Hazuki fell on purpose to get Haruka out of the awkward situation. Still, she's now a lot more assertive and proactive compared to the first season.

And Shiina continues to be the annoying cockblock, the only reason she even exists.

Also, lol @ Alice's "gap yandere".
