Decent recap but way too early in the series, the rest of the episode was pretty good. The teacher seems way more creepy in the anime than in the manga, someone need to make a gif of him popping out.

The recap was barely 6 minutes and was scattered between parts of what were going with Takashi commentary. When I heard everyone cry about it being a recap episode I though the whole episode was going to be a recap...

The episode was fine the way it was. So far, every episode has been exactly one chapter in the manga. There wasn't as much material in this one than in the others so it was acceptable. It honestly wasn't all that bad at all because we got to see some good scenes again and listen to Takashi talk about how he's changing.

I didn't like the censorship at all. Half the episode being filled with a bright light is annoying. ]:

Like what everyone else said, TOO MUCH RECAPPING! D: Took up like half the episode. Still, loved the gas station scene, I was nearly crying when that guy had Rei, they did it really well. And, fuck, I hate that teacher he's horrible, a freak AND a pedo! How can those kids not see through him?! Can't wait for next week's ep. :D

Agreed. It was unnecessary, but not too bad.
The exact words.

In the recap, is that the sniper lady?

damn recap was annoying, and it looks like it's getting more and more mascaraed by the censors.

And the guy at the gas station scene, got it coming....he got something far worse than what Rei could ever do to him.

Aside from that, the ep was quite enjoyable.

I wasn't annoyed by recap, but it felt kinda boring when I was watching this episode. At least he shot that fatass in the end ^_^
Looking forward to next episode, hope it will be better.

Too little new content, too much recap. Production value going downhill?

Thumbs down for excessive Anime Network censorship. Everyone should watch AT-X releases instead (including [gg]'s releases).

edit: Was it just me (maybe I wasn't attentive enough) or did Takashi just leave his aluminum baseball bat (which by the way looks wooden) behind? His very melee (=unlimited ammo) weapon of choice? Probably easily replaced, but nevertheless a bad move.

What? Why would they throw in a bunch of recapping in the 4th episode? >.>
That makes like.. No sense at all. Pretty much nothing has happened so far to reminiscence about anyway =3=

Tl;dr needs more Saeko.
Oh, and, surprisingly, I still hate Shidou.
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.

It makes perfect sense to me. It's cheaper not to draw new content, instead reusing old. That's my main gripe with this episode.

Holy crap. These people are real assholes.

Also, I'm not completely sure if it was translation error, but Takashi said "my girl". Did I miss some storyline or what the hell happened that I'm not aware of?
Gotta say, this would have much more entertainment value with less sexism and more action.

Recap on episode 4 for half of it? Lame.

Only good thing about this episode, boob grab + blush.
And the loser being shot who did it.

Not much else happened besides a "timeline" I suppose. Not that it's really important if it's been 2 or 3 days...

Ignoring the first 10 minutes of the episode....

Seconding "First time a male lead isn't a pussy" quote on the other page. You don't know how happy I was that he shot the thug instead of pulling the "Walk away and you won't get hurt" line. Got totally hyped up after the first 10 minutes...now I have to wait another week for more action. :(

I recommend thinking for yourself.

If you find sexism one of the "appealing aspects" of the show, you might want to get some psychiatric attention. Or talk with someone about it.
Or, you know, read a book or two.

Too much recapping. Already. No fun.

Why some one is telling that the next episode should be good?
Are you alright when they are feeding you with good stuff and regularly replace it with shit?

It falls in rating for me to 5.5-6.5 for this.
I don't like the amount of fun service as well - too much. Would like to see it a little bit darker and intense/ falter paced (how didn't they managed to get home in 12 hours?).

I can understand why you guys hated the recaps, but according to the people who posted here [I still HAVEN'T read the manga], if they're going 1 chapter for 1 episode, then it's basically explainable because people are saying that there was not much in Chapter 4, so it kinda explains much of the recap.
