They skipped the toad chapter..why? ;_;
Way too fast paced for me, but I guess butchering of source material is a given for Kinema Citrus.
Still enjoyable though.


Glad to see someone with the same impression.


Ah so I wasn't wrong about this episode being way too frantic. I haven't read the manga but I felt it was weaker than the first episode. It really sucks that the 12 episode format is the norm now and that anime producers feel the need to fit everything into those 12 episodes. It's making adaptations suffer more often than not. It's still good though.

I was not at all expecting this anime to be so hilarious...and addicting! I can't wait to see what happens next episode. Poor Handa, constantly getting stepped on.
I love the unique personalities of all the characters; I'm glad I ignored the rather boring-sounding plot summaries of this and decided to give it a try.

Naru is really adorable, probably the cutest anime kid I've seen a while.
I feel like Sensei and Hiroshi have a thing for eachother.: (even thigh I highly doubt it at the same time)
Cute episode, it's always nice to finish with this anime after four action packed series.

Episode 1 was way nicer.
7/10 for this ep.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Man, I can't get enough of Naru's cuteness. She stole every scene she was in and of course Hina too, even though all she has done is crying she was so adorable.

It's another great episode. I can't help but smile all the way... Naru slapping Handa's face was the highlight XD

I have no doubt this is the AOTS for me. It's difficult to see any other show surpass this.

It's a shame that they had to squash all these arcs(?) together. Dunno if you could call them arcs lol. It felt a bit rushed, and there wasn't much time to see their relationships develop. Still, it's really nice. I think the director has kept well the vibe and meaning of the manga. But sadly things are missed out.
Hiroshi wasn't described as a bad boy here, he kind of ends up having to clean up the mess created by others haha. If you consider Handa's illness from overwork and them messing around in his house.
Naru's voice is so cute, I love it.

I hope they add the toad chapter later.

"Did you get all threes even when you tried hard?" I know Naru meant well but that was a lethal blow LOL!

When Naru was rolling the car on Handa's face, I almost died. That was so cuuuute O__O

Tama's definitely into BL with the way she reacted to suppository and Handa x Hiroshi haha.

Awesome episode.

When Naru was running around saying "NASU NASU," I thought it was the cutest thing lol. And Hina made a small appearance! I hope she appears more because I think her crybaby trait is so cute lol.

I wonder what's up with the middle school girl with the glasses? She's very...suspicious.

there were many great things going on this episode. naru is awesome. even though handa yells at all the kids he handles them pretty well.

i couldn't stop laughing when naru slapped handa's face and when she was running around yelling about eggplants. also, her face when handa picked her up and yelled at the other 2 girls about teaching naru dirty words.

they covered the topic of talent and hard work well. the message was a lot better and much more realistic than the message in sakurasou no pet na kanojo imo

Comedy wasn't very funny at times and even repetitive, there needs to be a little more going on in this. If it turns out to be episodic it'll be worse. 2/5 was an ok episode.

Damn, this adaptation is fast paced. Feels like it'll definitely cover all of the translated manga chapters within the season. At least the rearranging of the chapters seems natural. Can't wait to see more fujoshi moments from the megane animated and Naru's VA is still fucking perfect.

Ugh.... more enderaing moments, less comedy, don't cram 2 chapters in 1 episode.
Please!

I knew this couldn't keep it's character backdrop, but t looks like the manga does in a semi-episodic fashion.

3/5 - OK, but coming from the premiere, this is disappointing.

Damn... getting only 3's on your exams even though he studied...

Hahaha, he's already on the track of mediocrity XD.

LOL, what an elbow to the face.

Ah, sensei gives her a purpose to live on lol.

Oh, the two girls that were running away from the scene the other episode and sensei's faithful commuter wife Naru!

That's one big nose you have there sensei...

Hina's so cute :3

Hahahaha, what a slap sensei received there XD.

Sensei and Hiroshi think they don't have any talent T.T

Poor sensei... everyone keeps hitting he's lifeless body lol.

Damn... he really is in the hospital now...

Now now sensei, that's now you treat a married girl that can hurt you with shots lol.

LOL, that much fussing around just for the IV running out.

Sensei's a freaking wimp that gets scared really easily.

I think that old man is a ghost...

Poor sensei... and he's out cold once again since that old man was a ghost just I said lol.

Good for you sensei! Now you won't be able to kill any vegetables with your skills lol.

I love Hiroshi's mother, that "Ahun" xD

"S & M"

"Everyone! lend me your energy!" I lost it.

I can relate with Hiroshi, I also do everything halfheartedly. I really envy people who can give their all to something... I sense some bromance.

I need Naru as my imouto, 'nuff said. No one else can have her, 'nuff said.

"Kyuu-kyuukyuusha!" "Vroom!" xD

Lol the glasses HS student scared even me.

"Don't test my love for my husband" Why is everyone so awesome in this show? xD

The old man was a ghost hahahah

Ah, that was really nice. I really like this series a lot. Was smilin throughout the whole episode. There were just so many laugh out loud moments too (Naru slappin Sensei, Hiroshi's mom's dramatic explanation scene, Hiroshi and Naru just steppin over Sensei's sleeping body, fter credits scene wth blood soaked onions was damn funny too)

But, thinking abt it, yeah, it did feel a little rushed. I loved it all, but the ending part where sensei finally envisioned the word heartbeat didnt quite have such an effect. Felt like it could've been more impactful if they'd introduce the characters a bit better, cos this episode suddenly had a whole new bunch of them.

Loving the series a lot tho. Definitely my top 3 for this season, and this season seems pretty good.
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

I don't know... I didn't like this episode as much as the first.
One annoying rude girl is enough, there don't have to be three of them and the jokes wear off fast.
Generally I thought this episode was too much rudeness and lame comedy without a moment to breathe.

First episode was better, this one felt rushed but I'll continue to watch and I'll also read the manga. I've heard that the scanlator has dropped the manga though, is that true? :( I hope it gets picked up again if thats the case.

Naru and Junon boy are friggin adorable. I love their voice actors as well.
