LOOOL, Mashiro is so new to electronics. Aliens? They're just on TV!

Well, no doubt she likes hamburgers. I thought episode was funny. I'm still getting used to Mashiro's voice though. Yonomori and her senses...those antenna XD

ED song is freaking adorable.

Can't get enough of that OP: "la-ta-tara-ta-ta-ta-ooh-ooh..." The ED is fine as well, I guess.

Looks like we got us a set-up for drama. The amnesia thing did seem like a lame excuse in the first episode, but now it seems like there's a story behind it. Colour me mildly intrigued.

Almost any amnesia story has a reason behind it. I actually thought the first episode was "good". The characters work fairly well together... though, the story is probably going to be quite obvious. Nonetheless I think they'll make a cute couple in the end, so it should be fairly entertaining.

BTW does anyone know approximately how long it should take for subs to come out after each episode?

They normally come out the next day after the raw release.

Yeah, in retrospect I really should have known better. Not that I didn't find the episode "good" in spite of that, in fact I was rather pleasantly surprised.

Although I do hope that all the alien talk doesn't turn out to be a plot point. Heck, I don't think I even wanna see it as a running joke. Judging by the show's title and OP though, it seems like it's here to stay.

So he saved her, both taking on injuries and Hakuya doesn't want her to know..

I do the same thing lol. I watched this episode at 5 AM waiting for my bus to school and I'm more worried about the show ending too soon rather than lasting too long and missing my bus.

Such a funny episode, and the show is getting more interesting. I want more screen time for the older brother though. It seems he's got something good on his mind :o

Thoughts:
0:35 mashiro x benio

6:37 mashiro's cute little booster seat. Everyone's using silverware instead of chopsticks :o

11:01 mashiro's little teddy bear

16:53 benio looks good in glasses

-----------
Overall:
1. ED song was cute

2. Not enough kobeni x hakuya in this episode, although it was suppose to be about mashiro

3. Loved the comedy, but there was so much of it that the story didn't progress at all

4. Didn't like the direction this episode went. Should've went to kobeni x hakuya first cuz they're the main duo. Comedy was great but too much of it. Hopefully the story will progress next episode.

Ep2: 4/10

Ok, I'm sold. This anime is unexpectedly good. I was rolling in laugher everytime Hakuya(the guy)'s wooden castle got wrecked. Looking forward to later episodes.

Am I the only one who thinks Kobeni is more adorable than Mashiro?

ED was good, but not as good as OP.

Finally getting used to Hakuya's voice. Hope he'll turn out to be a decent male lead.

If the first episode was underwhelming this was just plain bad.

I thought Mashiro was going to scold Benio for having snacks in the stuco room, turns out she just didn't understand what she was saying LMAO!

Poor Hakuya's castle kept getting toppled. It was predictable but I just can't help but laugh whenever it happens.

*Benio talks about boobs*
"It looks like Benio-sama's having a refined conversation." LMAO

- - - -
A really pleasant and adorable show. Mashiro reminds me of Ren-chon from NNB with the way she talks (minus the panic attacks). Also, still can't help but think of Yuru Yuri while watching :p Kobeni is plain and doesn't really have any defining attibute but is adorable like Akari. Benio is like a combination of Kyoko and Akane haha.

I actually think Hakuya's voice fits him. He's like the dull, no presence-no personality guy that whenever he speaks you're like "oh he can talk!" lol


Love the OP and ED. The OP's probably my favorite of this season. So catchy!

First episode was much better imo. Pulling out the amnesia card, but mebbe the story will be cool. The whole alien joke was lame and even worse it was carried on through the whole show. Not finding Mashiro all that cute.

Wonder if there is going to be any supernatural elements involved? Sure hope it isnt aliens.

Indeed!! Though I think Benio and her gang would keep the show afloat without Mashiro, it would be a considerable down to the show to not have her in it.

Mashiro is really making this show shine~

Man...this really might be my anime of the season...

Every episode is just crazy fun, and the OP/ED are so good that I can't bear to skip them

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei has foreshadowing written all over it. Some shit is gonna go down, I just know it.

The title translated as "Engaged to the Unidentified" and the whole second episode focused around Mashiro being scared of UFO's and mysterious creatures. Kobeni has vague memories of silhouettes of fox-looking things living near a temple. Not only that, Kobeni notices that nobody finds Mashiro's presence odd and Benio states that the family has been around for a long, long time.

There is WAY more to this story than meets the eye.

Thank you. I was actually worried about no one else mentioning those things. Not sure whether that was a fox or a wolf. Don't forget about mainboy's "injury". Aside from seeming somewhat mentally challenged (nah but he's pretty cool) he doesn't seem to have a notable injury. Putting that together with the wolf... OH GOD HE'S A WEREWOLF!... Or maybe not, but I have to say that Mashiro's hair reminds me of a wolf's tail.
Anyway, 'twas a great episode despite the alien jokes being a bit too common. Mashiro's cute but I'm more into Kobeni and Benio. Can't wait for next ep.

to all the people who got annoyed by mashiro, since the title of this episode was called "It's Not Bad Having a Loli Sister-in-Law", the focus of this ep is clearly on mashiro. i usually don't read episode titles or view the previews before watching the actual episode cuz i don't want to get spoiled or be able to predict stuff.

as i was watching, i did notice that mashiro was getting a lot of show time here and i was getting angry cuz the other characters weren't getting shown. it's not that i hate mashiro. she's really cute, smart & seeing her scared of benio is great. but kobeni x hakuya are really the main duo here & i would've preferred to get more info on them first on ep2 than watch mashiro's comedy sketch.

well, it's just episode 2. also, i've noticed some stuff. the scenes where no music plays, all the comedy introduced in the first 2 episodes, seeing that the visuals aren't colored too bright, kobeni's past... all that suggests that somethings gonna go down in the later episodes.

EDIT:
Speculation levels to the max- Haguya is a were-fox that's why he's so tired during the day

That's because she technically is, she's the whole selling point of this show.
This show doesn't give a crap about the male lead.
People aren't going to buy discs for Hakuya- the silent guy who spent an entire episode failing to build a little wooden house.
They're going to buy discs for the little girl who goes to high school with her over-sized sleeves.
...which is what I expected anyway so it doesn't bother as much.
Her fear of aliens and UMA was cute so I can't even be mad about that.


What's getting irritating is Benio.
Her schtick gets tiresome really quickly, she's the least likeable character in this for me so far.

Talk about diverging opinions. We've got "I hate Mashiro, dropping the show," "I love Mashiro, watching because of her," "who cares about Mashiro, it's all about Benio," "Benio is horrifying, get her out of this series," "Kobeni is perfect and the only reason to watch this series," "Kobeni can be ignored, Mashiro and Benio are what this is all about," and more.

BTW, I'm in the group that loves Kobeni. Because she's wonderful.

Um... I doubt there are any "dubs" out there (that takes much more time, money, and luck)... you mean a better set of seiyuu right? This is the official cast (albeit a fairly underwhelming group) so you're stuck with it. Or rather, I guess this is where you will say farewell.

I will say that the wooden house was amusing; however, I'm not sold on most of the comedy so far. I.e. I was hardly amused with the UFO jokes. Overall the show is slightly amusing but I'd rather they go with a better blend between serious and comedic aspects.

Poor Hakuya with his house lol.
