The new OP is incredibly bizarre. I can't tell whether I love it or hate it.

Arakawa is back, and I couldn't be any happier. More of the same(which is a good thing), but this time, it looks like we're going to get a look at Nino's past.


Also, Kobayashi Yuu! YES!

Randomly funny as usual, but the ending scene definitely made it interesting and the new OP is great too...

Good episode, It's in the top 3 this season based on the first episode of all the shows. The op is the worst peace of shit ever made tho.

If only file size was smaller (I'm running out of HDD space), but this is hilarious. LOL
Loving this series, just as good as last season. Brilliant first ep.
I don't really like the OP this time around though.

Amazing return. Hadn't realized how much I missed this show until now. The entire race scene was full of lulz. And more info on Nino? I'm all for it.

OP is weird but something tells me I'll like it after a few episodes.

The best comedy of this season, I laughed my ass-off all the time. Starting with Nino's hilarious sleep walking habits, hoshi's one manshow for his homo partner Riku, Kappa illusion, P-Ko and Sister slap sticks, appearance of Amazoness, Saito Chiwa and her Stella voice, Shiro's outburst. Chemistry between all the characters are just so amazing, I just can't hold my laughter through the entire episode.

Nino = Alien.

They should really start developing the characters at this point. The novelty of the random humor that they constantly employed in the 1st season is beginning to wear off.

The opening song is pretty bad too. Venus to Jesus is a good song then they settled for this.

Arakawa!!!

Finally I have something to watch when I'm feeling down. Always makes me laugh :)

Animation seems to have improved a lot, but I wonder if it's just 1st episode or if it will continue.

I'm annoyed by some of these gags...

Having Nino sleepwalk to wherever Recruit is nice but why the hell do they have to then have her beat him to a pulp and throw him in a draw, as I said it's more annoying than funny.

Two questions:
- when did he asked her to move in before this time?
- where the hell bird-face and hot blond came from?

lol @ Major using his shell as a basket for the cookies.

...they were introduced the last episode of the first season...

Anyways, great first episode! The animation looks great, and I lol'd a lot as usual.

I look forward to the next episode...

The Opening wasn't that good like from the 1st season.
And about Nino I think she's the one who got left behind from rocket space. :(
At the ending her looked up, they are might Nino's family.

Right were they left off last season, the gang is all the same. I'm sensing some more of Nino's backstory will be coming though,
"Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii

Riku is so weird when it comes to his romantic fantasies. So they traded places lol.

Hoshi's song lmao. P-ko, too lmao.

"Too bad, you got caught by my youkai shell-removal illusion." XD

"I am out of white powder" lol.

lmao dat mario reference. asdfghjkl I wanted Riku to win. I knew that someone else will but still I believed in him.

Sister tho. Such an idiot haha.

So Nino is an alien for real. Didn't doubt her but the possibility of it being a joke still existed.

Why does this anime always have great first episodes? I am scared that this will go down-hill too.
