I absolutely loved the first episode! The comedy is good, as usual :).

Wow the OP animation is very nice. It's wacky and fun at the same time. I like Nino's clothes!

I'm really curious about Nino's past. Who are the people in the spaceship? Are those her parents & herself or her parents & her sibling?

This was great and Nutbladder did a great job subbing it!

Did this series get larger budget? So far it seems to look a little better than the first season.

The opening is great.

It's the first episode spending. Give it another week or two, it'll be back to mostly cuts of Ric blinking.

Yep. Great episode.
This, along with SoraNoOto season 2 and Ore no Imouto, will provide all the lulz needed in this season.

It's finally back! And with a nice start too, although it was more of just a continue, we see some sad background story of Nino.

Actually, it had an introduction, the "switching houses-part". We all got to know the characters personalities when they showed up. We also got to know them during some parts in the episode.

Subs, FINALLY! It'll take a while for me to get used to the new OP, but that won't be a problem if the quality of the show will be like this first episode throughout. More Nino intrigue is always nice; the opening and ending sequence of Nino's dream(?) were very beautiful and well done. I love this show so much. *~*

Funny, entertaining, great characters, no plot, doesnt try too hard, ah I missed it.

Still wasnt expecting Nino's little 'ordeal', Ric finding her dress foreshadowed it, I wonder how much of her past is gonna be explored. Still she appears to come from a pretty well off family at least.

Oh and lol at Amazoness...

Well... the opening was really quirky. And unlike the first season, I don't mean that in a good way.

Anyway, a decent episode. It was kinda fun trying to work out, via comedic timing, who would win. I called it, by the way.

Also, hints of more info on Nino's character seems like a plus to me.

Oh, and now we have live action Hoshi introducing the next episode rather than the mayor!

The OP had no rhythm so it sounded weird, but I thought the images were very eccentric and cute.

The show still doesn't lose it's humor. My favorite moment was Starman Hoshi with the parody Mario music in the background.

AH! YUU KOBAYASHI! I THOUGHT THIS SHOW WAS MISSING SOMETHING!


YESSS!!!Me too! I heard her voice and got so excited! Love love love her and I love this cast and I love this series... so happy it's back on!

Great first episode - I've been sick for a week and laughing out loud hurts, but I couldn't stop myself while I was watching - too much funny. It was worth the pain! Last seaons' OP was one of my favorites - I didn't instantly love this new one, but I have a feeling it will grow on me. I think I like Etsuko Yakushimaru voice and style - it's atypical sounding... fitting for Arakawa. Arg... now to wait another 7 days. Too long.

How does this not have more than 100 posts yet... anyway, I had trouble understanding the humor of the first season, but it's pretty funny now that I know what to expect, especially with Whitey winning the marathon and the Mayor's "illusion"

Wow, what a fantastic first episode!! Absolutely loved it. Funny from start to finish and it looks like we'll finally start to delve into Nino's past. I like the OP, though it's not as good as the one from the first season. And please, some get Whitey some more white powder!

Tried to watch this at school and ended up spending at least 10 minutes trying to find a site what worked. The school computers do not seem to be capable of loading embedded video. >>

Anyway.... Great first episode. Loved it.

I take it the mangaka who showed up around this time in the manga has been moved to later, since that's his space bunny in the opening.

IT'S BACK!! :D

i've missed this show.. when it finished i had nothing to watch to give me all these funny scenes and things to think about..

i can't stop laughing from start to end.. ALL these characters combined in a show, ftw for me!

so we learn something about nino's past... she's been to space??! if it's a memory and not just a dream then that'd explain why she would think she's venusian..

and now it's hoshi in the preview!!!!! hahaha
