This episode just made me develop a hatred of every female character in the anime for some reason :/ They are .... annoying! I just can't find the right words to decribe how annoyed I felt watching this episode (no reference to the censors because I didn't even care about those)

Hmm ok start. I quite enjoyed the first series but then again my anime tastes have changed quite a bit over the past year. These kinds of series don't appeal to me much anymore. I do think the romance was handled nicely in this episode though, seems like they will develop it very well through this season. The first half of the episode was crap though. Unoriginal Onsen episode with all the characters being there 'sigh' new maid is annoying, other maids are annoying.... Just shoved tons of fanservice in and all the people who care are annoyed cause crunchy censored it so much. Hopefully this season will not bother with random fanservice or pointless things much cause this season could have started better.

Oh the subs were horrid, truly horrid.

Well, it's not only Crunchy, the version MX broadcast had the same steam effects. Yeah, MX, the same broadcasting company that had the least censored version of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. I'm guessing it's just the airing time that decided the amount used.

Whoa, the censors really slaughtered this episode. But still, this was a pretty nice first episode.
Oh, and whoever did the CR subs needs to stop being so lazy and do some research. Komiké? The fuck is that?!

First drop candidate and worst episode of both seasons yet. Wouldn't be watching this if I had less time. They even didn't make an effort for proper steam ~.~
CR subs were the worst I have seen for a long time, they can compete with western DVD releases ... should have watched a raw :<

Might as well get the onsen episode out of the way first...

I really liked the first season of this. I hope the second season doesn't run it into the ground...I mean, they pretty much made their point at the end of the first season. Which leads me to believe that this one's going to be nothing but fanservice and false hopes for Shiina...

I didn't really care about the steam. I mean that kind of fanservice is so overused I am amazed ppl still want to see that.

I pretty much liked the first season, but now this kind of show just seems so old and generic. They even started with a hot spring episode. :/
The romance parts were ok, though their embarrassed behaviour was really getting on my nerves. I know it was the same in S1, but it's just not cute or funny any more.

Not sure if I should continue watching that. I know there are some funny parts here and there and I have some idiotic hopes for a good romance plot, but is that worth sitting through the generic and boring parts?

Now for some positive things about the episode. The misleading beginning was well done. Additionally, that new loli maid was fairly entertaining and the OP-Video was really impressive. Might have been the best OP of this new season for now.

I for one thought that it was a great idea to start the show, identical to the first season.... It made people wonder WTF????

but I do think the spa episode should have been saved for later, like ep. 6. and the reason yuuto's best friend doesn't get suprised about yuuto and Haruka, is because everybody except yuuto shina and haruka knows that they are in love with each other..

the main characters are the last to know how they really feel. and it looks like this one is going to be just as good as the first when it comes to anime and manga referenceses.

alice-chan is just a personifacation of angel doku-chan...

but I just hope the DVDs are not as cencored like the first season, we didn't even get to see the kiss in the end...

wow the op was cool. haha that was soo stupid xD
this sounds like harukas voice hahahah
but impo pretty "senseless" for a 2nd season, since i dont think that there would be much of a obstacle that hinders them to become a couple. so a siina xx yuuto is not really possible anymore. i will stick to it though.
edit: the titles are all so perverted xD or i just have dirty thoughts^^

Seeing this first episode of Purezza, I don't really remember why I watched the whole first season. Was there something that catched my attention, the synopsis maybe? Oh well, I don't remember anything appart that the heroine was a shy moe otaku and that the ending (well, everything after episode 3 if I remember correctly) sucked. There's absolutely nothing above average in this start of second season, not counting that the new additions and few developments are really bad. I don't think I'll watch more honestly...

Support the anime by watching it on Crunchyroll, HorribleSubs are indeed horrible.


cant watch it at Crunchyroll cause ....

It was an OK start, I guess. I wasn't happy with the fact that this episode was ecchier than any episode in the first season. Nonetheless, it was still kind of cute and entertaining, I guess. 3/5 for me.

I like how they kept the same style for the OP and ED as the 1st season. The OP was especially nice to watch. Other than that, nothing spectacular.

If they spend this whole season on just Haruka and Yuuto trying to get over their "Oh, what kind of relationship are we in?" and "I wonder how he/she really feels about me?", then I'm going to be very bored. So, hopefully, that doesn't happen. I'd like to see more otaku culture exploration rather than everyday triangle-lovey-dovey romance as far as this show is concerned.

I noticed a lot of fanservice anime this season, maybe nogizaka is heading that direction too?
I thought it was strange how Yuuto didn't pass out from staying in the hot springs for so long.
haha, we almost got a confession out of Haruka, too bad someone had to interupt it.
BTW, Alice is a cutie pie, in a scary kind of way. I wouldn't want to mess with her...lol

I've seen censor steam before but that was just overkill there. Heck, they might as well go with a full screen of white ><

Alice-chan just climbed my "favorite character" list up into top 20 seeing how she wields that Dokuro-chan style club XD

Nobunaga making a random appearance like that is just awesome lol. Never doubt the mega Otakus! WE KNOW ALL!

Well, I don't mind the censoring since I'm not really into ecchi with girls in it (since I'm a girl myself) but I gotta say...that's the WORST censoring I've ever seen in my life. O_O
Total OVERKILL.
At this rate, I wouldn't mind watching the uncensored versions. x'D

That sub was HORRIBLE and I wanted to cry while watching the whole thing. D:
But I'll wait for w00f's (hopefully) subs :'3
So I can re-watch that episode over. :']

Ahaha~ at first I thought they had a downgrade on the animation. Lawl
Since I saw a Shiina, Mika and her two maids look-alikes there too xD (and felt disappointed for awhile)
But then the title came up and that's when I thought "wait, Idk this anime...when did I download this?" lawl xD
It came almost too late for me to realize that it's an actual show in their world. xD Haha
Then they had to go use Noto Mami-chin's voice in it too...that made me 'lawl' even more. Haha xD (Oh and it didn't help that her name's close to Haruka's name either xDD)
But I love both the OP & ED~ :'3 Sequences and songs both. ♥

The whole thing was LOVELY. x'3
And I've been waiting for this for awhile now! x'3 Yey~
Thank gawd! ♥
I can't wait for the next episode! ^0^
I didn't expect this to be this GOOD...but then this IS Nogizaka Haruka and...Noto Mamiko. xD Haha~ ♥

PS. I'm starting to love Alice-chan! x'D
And the ED is definitely adorable x'3

Well, maybe I'm strange, but this whole onsen part reminded me of Green Green - especially when these three guys were spying on girls :P

And I don't like Shiina falling for Yuuto - it's so cliché it hurts ==' Why it ALWAYS have to be a love triangle?

But anyway, it was a decent episode - really enjoyable to watch.

The censor was really annoying. At some points it even took about the half of the whole screen... jeez. This was even worse than the Chaos;Head censor, in which someone suddenly got an arm back. Anyhow...

Alice-chan, cool. The only thing that was missing was the real lolita and now every type of stereo-type maid should in it by now. Brass knuckles, awesome.

About the subbers: I downloaded the Mamiko subs. Warning: they have a very SMALL font and some small mistakes. They need a better typesetter and checker. T_T

Anyhow, high chances of me dropping this.
