He got caught as always, and introducing new police officer.

Also teacher is afraid of guys as always. For me, ED is nice (not funny, though).

Overall it's somehow different.

I wonder why Takeshobo decided to change the animation style, now they are using same animation style like 2nd half of Sparrow's Hotel last season.

Personally, I prefer the animation style for the first 2 seasons.

Looks like they changed pretty much all of the staff (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=15242, compare with http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=14490), that might explain why episode 1 looked and felt so different.

Can't say I like the new style, the characters are almost unrecognizable and everything looks too ephemeral for my taste. And cheap - those photoshop filter backgrounds showed up in Rozen Maiden and Uchouten Kazoku as well this season, but they look even lazier here.

Oh, that's why I immediately thought 'low quality' when I saw the new style - it made me subconsciously think about Sparrow's Hotel.

At 3 minutes they can get away with a one trick pony. If it were too much longer we'd want to see a little more plot development and I don't think they'd want to go too far in any of the more obvious directions. Although it looks like Atsushi might have a stalker...

When I saw the first few minutes I wondered: If this anime was always like this? xD

Narrator? Ending with real life pictures or they look like real?
This is some new trend that anime have real life pictures in opening or endings?

I don't really like they animation style,
old style matched to this anime.

Well... gonna get used to this, because I like this series :)

Hmmm... There seems to be a change in the character design for this season, and I'm not all that into the new look. We'll see how well the story holds up in spite of the difference.

This does, unfortunately, hit me at a weak point in regards to anime. There have been more than I care to admit, highly rated & recommended anime that I just haven't been able to enjoy due to my negative reaction to the style of character design. I run into this most frequently with older anime, but it has reared it's ugly head with more contemporary works from time to time.

It may be merely a preference issue, yet its influence is stronger than I'm totally comfortable with.

The old style was way better. Also, Haden proved themselves another junk: their subs is reeking of mistranslations, tightened timing. So they haven't failed for their not so good reputation.

Weird camera angles and the backgrounds kind of look like shit.
Atsushi looks more baby faced which is appropriate for his age but meh.

The animation style change is definitely going to be hard to get used to, but it's nice to have Recorder to Randoseru back. Although to be honest, I don't know if I want another season. This was a good introduction for those who haven't watched previous seasons though; Atsushi got caught as usual. lol. Not enough Kugimiya Rie.

I'm not fond of that style change like a lot of what's already been said. It's not so much that it's horrible, but it feels much more drab and cheaply thrown together. The previous seasons felt very vibrant, lively, and fun. This season feels like the setting and backgrounds are entirely out of place and the character art seems so shoddily done.

I understand the director claimed he wanted to "be closer to the source material with art and design" but this feels a lot like "we had a much smaller budget".

It's still good stuff though, it just didn't give me a happy feeling while watching it - it felt stifling from the art style and filtered pictures.


In terms of the actual episode - I'm glad the police are getting a little more involved as characters, they girls were always cute and started getting juuuust a little more screen time and development (into actual characters with personalities and not just faceless or random cops) around the end of the last season. So I think they will be a fun addition.

Crappy new style +filmed footage ending = very low budget for this series. I can't find another explanation.

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

Art style reminded me of Sparrow’s Hotel for some reason - so it's not bad but it could have been better. Will need some time to get used to it.

As to rest: they actually made me laugh few times so it wasn't bad, had some nice moments - I want to see more of police :) and their relationship with siblings.
Not as good as some series from last season (Aiura for example or even SH at it's best) but it was entertaining enough.

Preferred the old art style I suppose. This doesn't necessarily look bad but.. doesn't seem to fit the comedy theme. But hey, it's just 3 mins anyway, not like this show was ever any serious. :P

An okay episode..
The new animation sucks.
The real life junk sucks.
If you're not going to use the same stuff from the first two seasons, don't even make it in my opinion. The animation used to look so high quality.

Not entirely convinced by the animation style. Looking at the "Episode 0" on CR it seems as though the director wanted to go to a style more akin to the original manga which is fair enough, but to me it looks a bit... cheap.
