...Awesome OP
And I seriously didn't expect this awesome fight scene either. It's like playing M.U.G.E.N. with characters from Arakawa : D
Also, Holy Muscle Revolution.

LOL this episode and this thread are full of FMA talks.

Yeah the muscles were kinda disgusting, yet this is one of the most entertaining episodes this season. And lol it felt like the action scenes here beat those shounen animes out there lol.

Can someone posts a screenshot of this week's artwork?

It's done!
pretty nice artwork, although I have other favorite ones, I really appreciated the variations that drawers can put out with these kind of arts at each episode's end.


Thanks! This is what I've been waiting for since 1st season! Having her last name the same as this anime's title, she deserves to draw at least one artwork. :D

The muscle theme is disgusting in my opinion. I don't get why it's so funny. I find Sister's reactions and expressions (or lack thereof) are funnier.

I can't belive no one asked about where Maria is during all this brouhaha. I'd rather see her than watching an effeminate Ko, let alone that creepy OP. The same question? What's the point of the OP? What was the intention of the director? It was an uneasy and uncomfortable feeling going through the OP. I can't see any other reason for the OP other than to churn up people's innate homophobia.

It's an OK episode. But I can't help asking myself and all of the other viewers, WHAT'S THE POINT?

That was a bad episode for me. I don't like it when they go over the top like that and become so completely random and full of bullshit.
It's like they run out of jokes and thought "Hey lets make more muscle children and put them in a fight".
That shit was just too weird and not in a funny way.

The diet part was better but nothing special.

Actually that was trolling subs. I hate it when they do bullshit like that. Smartass teenager subbers.

ahahaha this was the funniest episode of arakawa ever i think. ROFL at how the translators wrote IM IN DESPAIR instead of I've forgotten!!! hahahah greattt reference!!! i liked the diet part and Ric acting gay after going to the salon a lot better than the muscles part, but i think that's just cuz i hate those twins. sooo annoying. and i only like stella when shes normal. she looks like a man and its really scary.

Man, I love the muscle gags. In the first season Stella's outrageous size transformation was hilarious, and they just pushed this further with the twins. Hahahaha, oh my god. More lol at Sister's reaction to all of this. HOLY MUSCLE REVOLUTION.

The action sequence with little stella was actually pretty good for an anime that had no action for like most of the season.

From the weight loss to the last fight, this was a great episode.

KO-SAAAMMMMAAAAAA!!!!

the opening is waaaay to funny XD

wtf 500 kg is just the limit to space O____O

poor P-Ko can't lose weight at all XD

and the girls ate Strawberry all day long XD



damn Sister's group is soo big XD




i love the Saynoara Zetsubou cameo phrase XD

it's even the same voice actor as the main lead Itoshiki XD

Hokuto no Arakawa!!

Sister is Rei from Fist of the North Star Ken's Rage series as Rei, so it's really funny how he was just standing there and letting them fight.

very Rei like!



glad we had more Jacqueline screen time :)

but no Maria time again T__T

HOLY MUSCLE REVOLUTION!!! I wish it was actually that easy to get muscles but it's not 😥

Also the fight between Tetsuo and Stella was amazing. The song they had with the butler crying for his master was also hilarious. Shaft really is an artistic studio. If u want a comedy adaptation, u go to Shaft.
