Mouth-to-breast lol Kuuko never disappoints. Mahiro finally realizes his feelings for Nyarko. Well, better late than never I suppose. Looking forward to next episode.

It sucks not knowing almost 80% of the references this episode had.

But it was still 5/5

Endless 8? Maybe I should rewatch that arc.
It isn't that long and its very fun

A wedding registration is probably the most expensive present your ever gonna get!

The ending was pretty nice tho they finally kissed and it seems Nyarko did remember some of it even tho she didn't mention it.
There where also allot of references this episode.

a buncha references. I knew there would be a surprise ending with the classmate girl, or she wouldn't have been included. convenient memory loss? oh well.

ugh I still don't like Hasuta. Nyaruko is kinda growing on me though.

Oh god I laughed so hard during most of the moments. A typical Nyarlko episode concerning the unique humour. Although I was positively surprised by the kiss under the tree and look who else is remembering it, Mahiro. :P 5/5 of course

Anyway, it's easily explainable. Mahiro's sanity points reserve has been completely depleted. Now he's gaining insanity points. Insane alien? tentacle monster? evil god? eldritch abomination? Who cares! she's cute...
That's where I see it stands now as well. I think the moment he realized he was in the dating sim was when his sanity points went from plus to minus.


oh come on!
he took it quite well IMO - after all things that happened before, this is one of more normal
he just have to pick between: 3 creatures that will drive everyone to insanity just by looking at them and 2 of his friends - day like everyday
and in my opinion, this situation might have been created by Nyaruko - somehow it suits her

But he becomes bit more open - and when the wedding night will come, Wagner music shall play and tentacles will be everywhere XD

This is probably the best episode thusfar. I love it when a show turns into total reference-a-minute mode. Parodies like these always make me laugh the hardest, even if I don't always get what they're from.

The Working!! one was obvious, especially because it doubled as a seiyuu reference, so was the Haruhi one. Oh, and the TWGOK one.

I know I've seen the skit with the marriage registration before, but I can't remember where it's from. Can someone shed a light on this?

For anyone who doesn't know much about fighting game.
Here is the list of those girls that were referenced in this episode. You can google it yourself.

Nyanko = Pai Chan from Virtua Fighter
Cthuko = Mai from King of Fighter
Hastur = Bridget from Guilty Gear

Cthuko = kasumi from Dead or Alive
I thought it was Mai Shiranui but then i realized the colors would be inverted. I don't remember seeing Kasumi with those whatever-it-is-underarm-ropes being red either though.
Also i'm dissapoined for lack of Darkstalerks' Morrigan outfit, with this should it would be a perfect fit.

I guess I was too quick to jump the conclusion base on color scheme alone. But with the outfit design(which I just took a carefully look at it) she has a more of Mai's outfit than Kasumi's one.

Here is the reason why I said it was kasumi:

That color scheme is one of her famous color scheme.

What you say is true, but I think we all can agree his resolve to resist is crumbling and possibly irreversibly so. I see a future where he'll find himself changing diapers for a dozen babies he can't tell which end to put the diapers on.

I believe there's a Street Fighter and King of Fighters reference during the battle: Nyaruko is dressed as Chun-Li and Kuuko dressed as Mai Shiranui.

I believe Nyaruko was Pai from Virtua Fighter, not Chun-Li.
Awesome episode, all the references were full of win. That Bridget Hastur was so spot on it almost made me fell off my chair from the laughs.

Meanwhile in a parallel universe. Or a dating simulation game universe to be precise. Pretty interesting concept though. He has to get a good ending before he can escape.

Also; the references the references! The one in the sunset lit classroom just like in Haruhi, the K-on concert and more. xD

Where the hell was Tamao all this time though? She was a love interest as well yet she didn't get any events until she jumped him at the end. I wonder if she has feelings for him IRL too, without the sarcasm.

Of course nobody remembers except the main character. How convenient. Although it looked like Nyariko remembered something though.

I think the big sakura tree was a part in the first two series (the only ones I've seen). My thought when seeing it was Da Capo as well.

I'm pretty sure the concert is a reference to Haruhi, not K-ON! She even lampshades it by commenting on its key animation (which the Haruhi concert is known for). Plus, her outfit is a dead give-away.

Heck, I don't even think there was a K-ON! reference in this episode.

So Mahiro finally gave in and kissed Nyaruko. Even though it was only in the game, to her it was as close to real as she could get. Plus, the fact that she remembers it as well will probably come into play later (though perhaps not directly).

I don't even think she would wear that but I still think it's a nice effort. Needs more like that at conventions.

Noticed a lot of references. Good episode all in all. I really like this show.

Haruhi -- endless eight, Kuuko imitating Yuki and the Haruhi school outfit.
Working -- Poplar's hair and her seiyuu too.
Sengoku Basara -- Nyaruko with the 6 swords and Kuuko with Yukimura's spear.
Index -- Hasuta's outfit during the brawl.


It's not an Index Reference. It's from a certain game, where Bridget is in reality... A boy.
