----------------------------------------
Time for the continuing adventures of the Niche show. Starring Niche and Steak.

Oh, and there's some Lag dude along too.

I liked this episode a lot. Niche was at an entirely new level of cute today with her really wanting to become Lag's dingo. Also, I bet the guy with the bird is the dude we see in the OP song with the glasses.

Totally did not realize Nelli was a girl. At all.

Best line. "Listen, Steak. When I get angry I get hungry. I'm going to eat you now Steak. Be sure to cook well okay?"

And what is up with these names? They're weirder than Gundam series' names.

I missed the airing time in Japan by going to wrong channel...

Ah... that arc...

Yes, Nelli was a girl and it won't indicate immediately (as the same as it was in manga).

Good episode, thought it seemed like a filler. Well, other than the guy who seemed to be in-charge at the "Bee-Hive", wants to buy Niche. I LOL'd when Niche was tryin to cook Steak, and she was like...

...and Steak shook his head yes, definitely the best part of the episode!!! Next is still this story, but it's good so that's cool. Needs moar Action and Gauche...Urahara Out!!

WIN episode.

We finally get to see more about the clearly dystopian government system of the world of Letter Bee, where the population are kept separated by boarding passes....

Very interesting episode and character development of Niche....

Say.. Nelli's gonna try to steal Lag's crossing pass, isn't he?=.='
Nelli runs off with the bag while Lag argues with Niche about.. stuff.
And then ..wait.. Nelli's a girl!? O.O
And they.. Hit him her?!

Anyway Niche~ (Oh and I gotta do another one of those summaries I did on the last episode sometime : D)

And ED's fantastic : >

Woohoo, it's my scheming guy Largo! In the absence of Gauche, he is my eye candy.

I just love how well this series tranlates from paper and ink to color and animation. The coloring just takes my breath away, I love it.

And just what kind of name is Jiggy Pepper, anyway? I can forgive "Steak", but Jiggy is strange.

No matter how strong you are, it's still dangerous. There will always be dangerous situations. Lag is just worried about Niche.

Another great episode.. I was worried about the story at episode 3 but 4 & 5 have really got this going. Looking forward to more.

An yes I shall also say...... Niche ftw.

I would say Lagg isnt too bad as a chara though, he need to show a more tough side though.. hopefully Gauche will have something or other to tell him.,..

Although Niche is definitely a highlight of the show, I don't think her character would be quite as effective without Lag. It's fun to watch how they interact with each other and play off of each other.

...but it's true that I didn't care too much about town. Nelli's story is a sad one and all, but for some reason it didn't affect me as much as it could have. I'm looking forward to finding out who the new guy is, though.

To pick up the manga now or to wait... oh, so torn.

There seems to big a bit of friction between Lag and Niche at the moment.
I thought it was pretty obvious that that dude was actually a girl. Her reasons seem genuine, but it's still not right for her to steal from lag.

Also, I agree with the above statement. That part with Niche wanting to cook steak was hilarious. Best part of the episode without a doubt. I literally laughed out loud when I heard that.

OhmyGod, I am loving Niche soooo much!
I LOLed when she was cooking Steak, and when she was hesitating wheter or not to wear the pants again.
I feel sorry for Nelli, and I really didn't realize she was a girl! I was even thinking "Nelli... Isn't that a girl's name? Oh well..." x'D
TegaBa does a great job where Shugo Chara fails. (In the exotic prince arc where one of the servants was supposed to look like a guy. O.o)
I feel sorry for Nelli, and I kinda like the megane-guy as well. This show is filled with awesome characters! >.< And I get the feeling it's gonna be the second anime ever to make me cry, since I was already moved with Nelli's story, and there is a crying-ish Gauche in the ending soo...

AND I MISS GAUCHE! TT____TT
Good thing there's Niche. ^^

I'm finally starting to like Niche. Well, at least I liked that she wanted to cook Steak xD That scene was amazing.

Anyway, Nelli and Nello's story was quite moving and I'm curious about that Jimmy guy. Is he real a cold-hearted guy who "sold his soul to the government" or had he a deeper reason to leave the town?

But the scene where everyone wanted the crossing pass... it was pretty good. Amberground seems like the epitome of social segregation... I hope the story gets into some political issues. That would be great.

I also wonder what happened to Gauche. He was such an amazing character. I want him to appear again :( Oh, and why do people find Lag annoying? He's pretty naive and all but he's adorable and polite. He's the more likable crybaby I've ever seen. I love him^^
