Well... I think I know what I'm going to get with this.

...I'm still watching it anyway.

I also thought it was hilarious when the maid mentioned how she couldn't see because of the steam. Yes, apparently all of this was intentional because

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...

Pretty good so far but not digging the censoring.
Alica-chan = Super cute and super scary.
Support the anime by watching it on Crunchyroll, HorribleSubs are indeed horrible.


cant watch it at Crunchyroll cause ....

Apparently Zero Raw's MX broadcast was defected or something since they did air a less censored version, perhaps some other group has released it...

I noticed the problems with sub as well but it wasn't enough to distract from the viewing. Overall a decent first episode.

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.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

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

Really you guys...we shouldn't blame HorribleSubs for the horrible translations...it was RIPPED from Crunchy.. O_o DUHR.
HorribleSubs are just encoding it in and also...they don't really care either since they're just doing it to piss the living daylights out of CrunchyShit. xD

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.

I went with the Loner release. Crunchyroll subs + AT-X video.

Subs were wonky. Service was intact and fantastic.[/]

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.

Just wanna remind everybody that the reason the censors are so crazy is because of all the whining at Crunchyroll for airing the uncensored Juuden-chan when it was coming out. So yeah. Sucks.

Aww..not a fan of Kugimiya Rie...I'm tired of her voice. D:
But I can't just be biased because of that though...
Besides... the "Bui" (or "V") that she posed and said in that episode was too cute to resist. x'3 Hehe

I don't know if it's common knowledge or what not but I'm quite certain the censorship (I haven't watched it yet) is Crunchyroll's doing as they did with Juuden-Chan(whereas the episodes I D/L that aren't CR's have no censorship).

Since horriblesubs just takes it from crunchyroll and re-distributes it, it makes sense the censor is still there where as it won't be when we get some real subs.

So for those displeased by it, re watch it when another version is out.

Once more, I'm stating this if by chance it's not known or obvious to some/most people.

I don't really mind censors covering up certain stuff but do they have to make the censors so blinding?...

Decent episode....at least for what I was expecting from this type of show. I hope there's not too much drama on romantic competition....I thought that would have ended with last season.

And yeah I can hardly remember some of the characters...

Agreed on this. Over-censoring was annoying. The typical hot spring cliche was annoying, but served its purpose well enough. The ending was cute, and so were the chibis in the ending theme. Pretty good new OP and ED, too. Hazuki is still awesome, even if she pretty much is Maid!Yuki.

I didn't think the censoring was all that bad
but for those that really care, the [Shinji-w.​0.​0.​f.] sub is uncensored.

I think I prefer Mamiko though.

And it was an OK/decent episode. Some funny stuff like the crazy geyser. But really, they should accept their relationship by now.
Oh, and I liked the chibi ending song, lol
