I felt as thought that episode ended early, which is in both ways good and bad.

Nino just has this really down to earth personality... even though she's from Venus C:
I really loved Sister and Riku in this one. Riku looked really good in suit & Nino looked amazing in her dress.

Oh yeah and the leaf boats were the best part of that whole episode. :D

Did anyone else feel this episode was fairly short?

I'm not sure why but it felt like the episode went by really fast.

Result of being so chock full of win.
I was excited to see 'Ric' in a suit, more so because i sort of detest his casual attire with that ugly tie sticking out.
Also my favorite seiyuu (Kamiya) preforming in this makes the punchlines that much better.

Nino is simply the best thing about this show. She just has an odd kind of hypnotic charm that makes her absolutely loveable. As Bitchmaster said, it's nothing sexual, but she has a weird sort of cuteness outside of sexual attraction, somewhat like Haruhi Fujioka. Only trippier.

Anyway, great episode. Hoshi has proven to quite the fun character, and the joke contest after the credits proves that I really need to keep watching after the credits. (I always forget to.)

This.
Sugita as Hoshi is win."So...you're a fag" XDDDD
Ric wearing suit is better than his casual attire & him driving that white Lamborghini is epic.

I didn't find this episode funny as the 2nd one. I thought the confession part was boring, but the gag joke part was funny. Sister has a weird sense of humour. lol.
Also lol@Riku's idea of a date.

Still very enjoyable.

The first 15 minutes or so were one of the most hilarious displays of unrealistic expectations I've ever seen. You just can't beat Nino's logic, it's undeniable.

And Sister's joke was downright lulzy.

Really can't decide whether to drop this. About the only laugh it got out of me was when Nino was stopped in the midst of suggesting Venus for the date. But it's never terrible, and there's an intriguing oddity. I definitely think I could enjoy it if the show took the more serious feel of the last few moments before the outro, but I can't say I expect that. Unlike the vast majority here, I don't really care for Nino. The way her seeming obliviousness tramples on Kou's good intents annoys me more than it amuses.

What it is to me is beyond your understanding since you won't get it unless it's something sexual about the girl. And since Nino herself is not busty, or flashing her panties every single nanosecond or clinging to a guy constantly, that will further reinforce your inablility to comprehend my explication thus leading to a failure in mutual agreement and as a result, invokes futile arguments that go endless 8, which is not what I originally intend to see. Therefore, /discussion. Kthnxbye :)

And this anime is sure leaning towards romance, as opposed to the comedy genre.
It is, after all, a romance anime.

That was the only joke in this episode that was similar to a normal silly comedy. I suggest you drop this and go watch some ecchi comedy.

The confession part was hilarious. Kou was so freakin' dry in his answers and Sister labeling them all as true was even funnier.

His idea for a date was okay, but I kinda expected her to say "who are you?" upon seeing him with that car and outfit. The whole 'Kou asking Nino on a date' wasn't really as interesting to me, though. Seeing her in a dress was nice, but didn't really do it for me.

And funny how a sense of humor seems to be hard to come by there if no one is able to tell a good joke.

Another nice episode. Here are my random thoughts on it
-Loved the beginning sequence, it was very romantic and had a deep tone to it
-"Sister is the real deal" - that was the best line of the episode. Go Sister xD
-Nino was pretty cute in that dress!
-Most of all, like Kou, I am wondering about Nino's past.

I was not planning to watch this show, but for now I will keep watching it. I hope the relationship between Kou and Nino will build up :)

Ya, I heard him say Homo, it was the translater that decided to say fag.

That's what you get when you watch Nutbladder Subs, the only subs for this show that truly and utterly suck. Fag != homo. Also, his nickname is Rec, not Riku or Ric since his full new name is Recruit. Recruit -> Rec.

Anyway, awesome episode. I was almost in tears during the "interrogation" scene :)

I'm still waiting to see Maria and Stella though, just for the voice actors but...

Is it just me who thought that animation of this episode was way better than past two? Hoshi priceless facial expressions and most of the movements were very well directed. It was clearly distinguished from past ones which had some awkward movements overall. Plus, Sugita's voice acting is just brilliant. Hoshi's sound was very different from those other roles that he has done.

Although I didn't laugh much for the later half of this episode, I can say it was very good. Even though comedy didn't really work, characters are mad in degrees and so unique, which makes this entire anime.

lol, I'm not going to list all the things I hate about their subs. I have plenty more issues with their subs.

Ric is stupid attempt at Americanisation and fag is just a juvenile attempt at humour. Fag is considerably more offensive than homo and Hoshi (or Star, if you prefer that) wasn't trying to be a gay basher.

But whatever, enjoy your shit subs.

No, but he was clearly trying to insult Ric and thus the harsher language is warranted.

You could argue that, but everyone knows gg love to use "fag" or some variant, and this was a great opportunity. Doesn't mean it was appropriate just because it actually worked this time. Lol @ me caring.

I don't know what it was about this episode, but I borderline loved it. The pacing was exceptional, no gags outstayed their welcome, and there was a great mix of personalities that never left me bored. I kind of got why people love Nino in this episode. She's just so deadpan. Everything from the slouch in her posture to the glaze in her eyes is funny. And trying to guess her reactions to Kou is entertaining in and of itself.

In this episode, though, Star kind of stole the show. It's a mix of his faces, obliviousness, and naivety that I love the most. His conversation with Kou kind of felt like something I'd see in Nodame, with Kou definitely looking like Chiaki.

I take it back. I loved this episode. Comedy done exceptionally right.
