Somehow the pantsu jokes never get old.
Niche is adorable.
Zazie's facial expressions in this episode were hilarious.
I love this show. Sooo glad it is back.

Steak is so freaking cute and funny XD

A very sweet episode, I really enjoyed it :) Though I wonder what happened to the Sinner's child...?

I hope we'll get more of Gauche soon, now that we also know how Lag will (most probably) save him :D

Anyone else think that the Sinners couple might be Niche's parents? It's far-fetched, I know, but the way Sandra was caring for Niche was motherly in a way. Plus the picture of them with their baby. What happened to their kid? I don't know that's just my guess and since I haven't read the manga I don't know if this is true or not.

Meh not a great episode... I hope they give enough time to flesh out a bit of story in this season. The next episode doesn't look like it will have any relevance to finding Gauche

A cute ep like always ^^ Zazie and Steak are kawaiiiiiii!

Btw, is it just me or in this season of the anime, Lag looks a lil bit more grown up?! And somehow he starts to resemble Gauche, especially when you watch the ending song >__>

That was my impression as well. I believe he met them during the filler phrase in season one.

Got around to watching Letter Bee I'm must say I'm impressed the show held my interest i didn't mind Lag crying as much. The two episodes reminded me of why i liked the first half of season one. Niiche is still adorable and Steak is hilarious this time around.

Niche is just so adorable when she's blushing and so is Steak laying down to be cooked and saluting. This episode is so heartwarming and makes you feel warm inside. I love it. Guess next episode we get to delivery missions. Hope this doesn't continue for at least half the show's duration. Really needs more Sylvette and Roda.

Well that totally confirmed everything I said last episode:

yamakasi said:
Hm, so it seems that when Gauche/Noir shot Lag with his shindan, Lag ended up with some of Noir's memories. So why doesn't Lag find a way to compile everyone's "heart" and shoot it into Gauche? He gets their memories of him, and he remembers. Problem solved. Or does getting shot with a shindan do something to you healthwise? (I know that shooting one uses up heart and if you do it too much you lose yourself, like what happened with Gauche. But what about the reverse? What happens if you get shot with a lot of shindans?)

How convenient that Lag was given the exact bullet he needs. *rolls eyes*

Also, wtf @ them not knowing Lag. Didn't they meet him already? What!? I recall a conversation about Gauche's shindan and everything.

"The underwear brought Niche & Lag together" ; I just couldn't keep a straight face through that scene.
Steak was funny, playing dead for Niche so she could eat him.

Why Lag went to the roof? It's look like OOC, he is not so brave. He should've remained on the ground and talking to the clown from below.
Well, the scenarists should've put Lag in a dangerous situation for forcing Niche to action. It's possible explanation.

Sinners child, I think, is dead. Was 'eaten' by gaichuu or something like that.
It's definitely shall be exposed in the future episodes.

Underwear bonds :3
My reaction was pretty much like Zazie's when the underwear bonds were mentioned.

They should somehow put soup inside all the guns.
The soup bullets should do away with anything ahaha.

I wonder why Steak is always so willing to be cooked and turned into a real steak? xD It's almost like Steak is Niche's dingo and will do anything for her. I wonder what he tastes like...I'm hungry...

too much good stuff in this episode :D

-Zazie's refusal to eat the disgusting soup (Sylvette....why do you keep making this, memory of Gauche leaving aside, no one wants this)

-Zazie's laughing fit when hearing the underwear-bond-story

-Steak's willingness to be sacrificed as a steak, I just LOVE it, especially this cute little salute he's doing before being showed into the oven

-STEAK'S PERM!!!

-Sandra's check for Niche's underwear (I would have just assumed in this situation that this girl is not knowing what she's talking about or that I would have misheard :'D)

I'll continue for now but just because of this episode I know I'm going to watch the second season a second time right after I'm done

So now Niche has left, thinking that Lag's depression is her fault for 'failing' as his Dingo. Obviously this is not true at all- but she is very simple and doesn't really understand; and so leaves Sylvette's.

There were so many moments of levity between the sad parts, with the party poppers, and when Zazie was eating with Sylvette asking about Lag and Niche, they do a great job of playing at how unusual they actually are- Lag comes home to a house with a girl in a wheelchair who cooks terrible food, Niche's connection to Lag is by wearing oversized underwear; it makes Zazie laugh but you're supposed to laugh too- seeing the characters described to a third person. It was such great juxtaposition.

It even gives the show's regulars time to shine. The guy performing in the street seeing Niche that inspires him to walk a tightrope; the shop owners who have the bakery and gun shop ("Fresh bread & Guns") allows Niche to describe her side, which she does in childlike terms that the viewer understands- but you watch the reaction of these people who are completely confused! And Steak has some great moments- the continuing joke where Niche is always threatening to eat him brings her to the bakery where she vows to shove him into the kiln because she's hungry- and Steaky as always is as reluctant AND loyal as ever. It's so cute and funny.
And the climax being how the performer gets himself into trouble on the tighrope- bringing Niche and Lag back together was great.
This show has always had great characters but I feel like in these two episodes they have become even more established in the story, you get to know them better and see how they react to each other. 6/5 this is a great start to S2
