| Why do people complain about this specific anime being cliche, as though anime that isnt cliche actually exists? This was probably the least cliche bath episode i've ever seen. Calling Shinbou anime cliche is baffling to me. |
| Hahaha I've been waiting for Shuu to get some good screen time, after being the one behind half of the problems in this episode he didn't disappoint! Call this episode a common cliche if you wish but it was a well done one. I really wasn't expecting Raku to get out of that one without anyone other than Chitoge knowing what he did. It had me nervous on edge as things kept getting worse and worse for Raku in the girl's bath! |
| Shuu is favorite. |

Calling Shinbou anime cliche is baffling to me. It's because this anime is built entirely out of cliches. Even some of the most derivative stories still have things that make them unique, but Nisekoi plays like it was written with a pencil in one hand and a harem playbook in the other. As you said, there's nothing wrong with things being cliched, as practically every piece of fiction you can get your hands on is often cliched or derivative in some way, but that's no excuse for a writer to not even remotely try to differentiate their work from the throngs of other people that have used the exact same ideas. Also, Shinbou had literally nothing to do with Nisekoi's story, because it's directly adapted from manga, so I don't know why you'd be baffled by someone calling it cliche just because he's involved. |

| Hot springs all over again!!! i think Ichijou just broke a word record on staying underwater :) I also liked Kirisaki and Onodera reactions on the cards games, overall nice episode. one question on what episode does Marika join? |
 |
| ^Well, this anime does have 20 episodes, so we will see her eventually. |
| Ad Astra Per Aspera |
| Ahh, ok episode I guess... I think the weakest in the last few ones.. Not enough Tsugumi I believe... Although Shuu was hilarious as alwyas. Next week it will be half a season and still no Marika... really looking forward to her appearance |
junp31 said: One thing I'm wandering, though, is the anime straying too far or staying too close to the manga? Cause I'm reading complaints about lack of Marika, which I assume to be another one of Raku's love interests. Does she appear sooner in the manga? Its following the manga fine, she will probably show up in three more episodes. The only thing they cut is when chitoge and onodera visited raku when he was sick for jumping in the pool because of tsugumi. Other than that the anime is following the manga fine. And no plot progression? This episode just gave clues about the promise geez there will be no kissing yet....oh wait yes there was lol. |
| Raku can seriously hold his breath underwater! Wonder if he does free diving lol. |
| This was very enjoyable, Shu's trolling and Ruri toying with Onodera The onsen scenes were steaming and enjoyable Best comedy so far of this Also, 20 episodes |
| Nice episode I laughed so hard with the faces when they played the card game and with claude face xD Shuu is indeed awesome Nisekoi is awesome |
| Best episode yet. I was laughing all the way through :D Onodera's faces when they were playing cards were too damn cute :) |
| 5/5 While repeating random sentence: It's all so forced and already seen. The narrative is so clever to not annoy me, very funny this episode. Plot zero, it is a turn around at the same point. Beautiful designs that help digest the story more easily. Ruri is epic in its outputs, I noticed that today was also the episode where the Professor Kyoko showed all her beauty! LOL |
 |
| Damn I wish my field trip was like that !! |
| Dat ass kiss... rofl. Pretty hilarious episode with the fanservice :D. |
 |
| Awesome I think. Clever way to go about covering an old trope. |

It's your preference ;) Ah, by the way, there is a difference. Practically most of the harems (the ones which actually end up with a final couple) pair the protagonist with the girl he always liked. Nisekoi, at least, isn't trying to get Onodera and Raku together (so far at least), which is a bonus. Any other girl is fine. |

| I think cliche of this series was intentional for comedy purposes, it didn't irritate me but instead it makes me enjoy it. . |

Dark_Messiah said: I think cliche of this series was intentional for comedy purposes, it didn't irritate me but instead it makes me enjoy it. . You are correct sir! Like in the manga they always used to make huge deals when cliched things would happen, such as having characters mention how odd it was that their class was suddenly getting so many transfer students. There was a sense of self awareness whenever a blatant cliche or trope was employed, but it never felt lazy because those elements were used in effective ways (in essence, there's a reason some of those things have become so commonly used). It's one of the things that makes Nisekoi so enjoyable for me personally. And tomorrow's episode is going to have my absolute favorite scene from the manga. PLEASE DON'T FUCK IT UP is all I can say. |
| Awesome episode, definitely one of the best so far in this series! Sure, it's cliche but everything was well-executed and still funny nonetheless. |

| Was it just me or did Tsumugi's body look... a bit weird? |
| Wow, Raku's breath holding game is ridiculous. He was underwater for a good five minutes and he didn't even look mildly uncomfortable. |
| Well that was quite fun ^.^ worth watching twice..the clouds were well controlled lol |
 |
| Uncensored version in BD please |

 |
| Even for a hot springs episode this was fantastic. BlackShock_ said: Uncensored version in BD please Yes Please!!! |
| I love Ruri and her cleverness. I am so glad Raku survived there.. Phew... Best onsen episode ever! |
 |
| Hilarious episode, I enjoyed it very much! Raku had a scare, glad he made it out of there, it was funny when he popped out on the other side, the butt kiss though haha, and the expression when he apologized lol!!!! And Shuu is awesome! |

| Another funny episode. This series is great. |

| Heh, I feel for Raku, he went through all that and still ended up tied and hung upside down in the end because of his friend >.< |
 |
| Out of all the hot spring peeping anime characters, Raku wins the price! Goddam steam!!!!!! >___________<!!! Them curves and Tsugumi's got the biggest oppai! ♥_♥ |

| I bet Raku actually saw all their bodies in full glory. Poor him that he gets hung up in the end. lol |
| Well this was... rather interesting...? 0.0 |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Lol'd at the centrifugal force part. Ruri is such a genius and she would help Onodera in many ways as possible. |
 |
| LMAO i hope that wasnt her first kiss |
| and now.... That Scar just completely blurted out about my Theories about this "Key Girls". Dem Scar just got in my way!!! Chitoge has high chances to be the one on his childhood.. but there are other more keys and facts straight ahead on the plot!! so I will not worry-y-y!!! Still hope for ot-other girls!!! Everyone was affected on that First love thing !!! lol!! wahh!! Kosaki so kawaii!!! That's some evil butler plot lol!!! That Prediction sure does is true lol!! Man That Sure does is hard in Raku's place.. He might be killed if he just seen in a second or die in Bloodshed because of Nosebleed.... ahh Raku.. Ganbare!! So many unexpected things that happened throughout his escape lol!! Kiss in the back bottom!! ahh well that's the end of his great adventure in the Girl's bath !!! Funny and Good Episode!!! |

| Shuu is so awesome! Setting up that bus scene. What a good friend. That card game made me nervous. So much tension. The onsen was great. Can't believe Raku escaped. Most characters is that type of situation always get caught, so it was a nice change for once. |
 |
| Definitely my favorite episode so far!!! Loved the poker face scene and that last scene was just... WOAH. HAHA |
 |
| Roflmfao, that episode was hilarious!!! Especially the parts in the bus and the hot spring. Ruri is so great! |
| What a great hotspring episode! Really perfect, man I just can't stop watching this anime! |
