This ep. is actually so touching, normally was just purely funny. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| loool Stella's musle transform is always so funny! |
 |
| woah...took a turn for the serious didn't it? and yet they still manage the silly stuff. |
| Unexpectedly dramatic. It was good, but since the show overall is quite silly, I have a hard time taking it seriously. |
 |
| Loved it. This season has not disappointed me at all so far. I really hope we get somewhere with Nino's background this season, and I really enjoyed all the Ric/Nino moments in this ep. They're such an odd couple, it's no wonder they're having issues getting through to each other. |
| great episode , I nearly shit my self laughing when nino used the crow to get the cookies. and dear sweet mother of maggy I love that Ending theme! |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |

| I loved Ric's embarrassing moments. Maria was pretty attractive with less clothes on too. |

| That was an interesting episode. Didn't feel like much happened as the episode went by so fast. I too agree that the drama is hard to grasp in such a silly anime but if they keep at it, I might be able to follow. |

| Pretty average episode, not as bad as ep 2 though. The drama this season seems like it has the potential to be much better than the drama in season 1, but the execution in this episode was just plain poor. On the comedy site, Hoshi's interruptions never get old, but all attempts around at comedy based around Stella and P-ko and their terrible characters still completely fail. |

p r o f i l e 👀 |
| I read just about this episode on the volume 5. The last chapters. XD So i really liked it ! |
 |
| Aww, it was really sweet. D: |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Why do I get the feeling there's nothing important on those tapes?...could just be me though. |
| Wow unexpected plot development this episode. Really nice touch |
| Wow the Mayor actually took the real tape? Great episode. It had plenty of funny moments and it turned out to be rather sweet in the end for Nino and Riku <3 <3 <3 |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| Things took a serious turn here with Nino and Ric. But I liked the development that happened here, it was very sweet. And I smiled really big when Ric hugged Nino. Maria looked awesome here as well as Nino. The humor is still funny too. Another really good episode of Arakawa. I still can't stop smiling :) |
 |
| Sweet and funny ep!Like it :) |
| Nino is strange. Didn't think that she did be afraid at all :O This show are good enough, don't know when to be serious but it's still watchable :) 7/10 |
     |
| I'm really curious about Nino's past. Why did the Mayor took the real tape? Why won't they let Ric hear it? But overall it was a pretty funny and sweet episode. As usual the ED theme is <3 |
| Seriously, he doesn't even look at the words Maria gave him? xD That's like... Dangerous. xD Maria vs. Ric, 2-0. Also, lolHoshi. And this was a terribly short episode D: |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| This was such a sweet episode. I really enjoyed it. And dammit Hoshi you are such a troll lol. |

 |
| I like the development and seriousness this episode, it had some touching scenes :) At the same time, it was still hilarious and ridiculous, especially the part with Nino on the pole with the birds. |
| a sweet and funny episode. |
 |
| P-ko's illusions were hilarious.. Through those ridiculous events, who would have thought to have sweet drama at the end.. Also liked Nino's reaction faces.. This show never fails to bring a smile on my face :) BTW, ED = <3 |
| I'm in love with this show. It's so great. This episode was full of win, Nino and Ric look so cute together <3 |
 |
| The women that were doing all the talking were the ones that didn't have a man!!! I don't know what is going to become of Ric and Nino. I'm hoping he will eventually just leave the riverbank and take Nino with him. Those crazy characters are going to cause Ric to have a heart attack. Can't wait for the next episode. |

Didn't see the sister's wound burst for a while *he he* The last part was very cute. Previous episode was funnier though. Maria truly is awesome. Waiting eagerly to know everyone's past and why they ended up so crazy. |
 |
| What? Arakawa actually showed some plot in this episode? Nino when angry is hilarious. |
| Nino is great! She doesn't afraid of anything. |
| At first i thought it was going to end with the tapes being nothing important, and we got that ending; it seems the Mayor has hidden the true meaning for another time. It also seems like sister knows as well. Not used to actually having one whole event take up a whole episode despite it bring broken down into segments. It made it seem like such a short episode, but that just means it was more enjoyable! |
| his episode was fantastic. Very enjoyable from the first to the last minute. More! P-ko rocks, too. |

| good ep 5/5 |
| First of all, subs, FINALLY! The last few moments before the credits were very adorable, though I feel like they could have played it a little better. Why couldn't Kou have closed his eyes when he hugged Nino? I was too bewildered by that look to be Awwwwing. Still, Kou x Nino moments are always nice. |
| LOVED IT! That's all I need to say =] |
| 頭脳は子供、見た目は大人！ ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ |
| Great romance at the end, I didn't expect it. A very good episode overall with some developments regarding the main plot for once. And the ED is just fantastic. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Kou x Nino!! love this show ^^ |
| A deft mix of dramatic and comedic moments with heaping doses of more mysteriousness. It was tremendous. What Ric calls embarrassing moments, most people would term them achievements. Maria really enjoyed herself in this one. I did too! |
 |
| I definitely liked this episode more than the second. Nino sitting on top of the telephone pole is my second most favourite bit this season, with Star going super mario in the first episode my first. |
 |
| I am liking this season so much more than the first. I think it is not only funnier, but I love that we are actually getting some development on Nino and the Nino/Ko relationship. |
| This was a surprisingly fantastic episode. It reminds me of Ko and Nino's date from the first season. These really random moments of depth in the relationship they've made are kind of breathtaking in how easily they're done without being too cheesy. |
| I kept waiting for the silly antics to break through, but the seriousness had already continued for longer than 5 seconds. Dai shocku. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| another funny ep. but its nice to see development every now and then, and this was done right... well for this show at least |
 |
| That was so touching. Okay it's Arakawa so you expect to laugh and only that but even when it gets serious or deeper in the human emotions it is unexpectedly great. I don't know how they manage to do that. One moment you laugh your head off and the other you are filled with overwhelming emotions that make you cry or smile from the bottom of your heart. Maybe I'm taking this very seriously.. But still I can do nothing but admire and respect people who create anime like this one.. |
 |
| Love this episode. A few minutes ago I was laughing hard then it became serious. The scene when Ko cried and hugged Nino was very touching. I wasn't expecting that in this episode. Nino's past really interests me, too. I find it weird and hard to absorb that Mayor is making sense lol. And I'm a girl, but why do I find Maria hot? :O |
| The end of this episode when Ric hugged Nino was just tooo cute >.< |
