THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode is really episode 5.5 isn't it? So episode 6 should be 7, and 7 episode 8?

:/

Anyway I havn't really seen it properly, just timed it, though it wasn't very good.

IIRC, this is episode six, however it was never aired on TV because of content. Which is really just a way to try to get you to buy the DVD.

Ep 6 is the one where Ink and Nao-kun go on a date.
Ep 5.5 is the one that was shown in its place. Wikipedia lists it as "Sumi and Ruriko's Moetan Diary (すみと瑠璃子のもえたんダイアリー)". I haven't seen it though, so I can't say anything about it.

Okay so I watched the wrong raw back then to check things out and watched the episode 5.5 now, which is episode 6 in our database.

It was quite funny though, not a bad re-cap.

So 5.5 is 6 as far as MyAnimeList is concerned? Then that makes the series 14 episodes long, not 13 like the database says. Episodes 6 and 13 proper are both DVD only, so 5.5 falls outside the show completely, at least when looking at Wikipedia's list anyways. Technically, this thread should be the episode 5.5 discussion, not the episode 6 discussion.

Actually, quite incorrect...
MBT just released an episode six after releasing 5.5, proving that ep 5.5 and 6 are separate things. ^^;

Damnit! Don't die without my permission!

Hmm... Tried to make a poll on the real episode 6, but I guess they still haven't hashed out the database yet...

But these discussion topics are the same.

@kuropon:
Are you MBT staff? Maybe you can tell us what episodes are TV episodes, and how many there are. And what episodes are DVD episodes so we can sort this damn mess out?

So I just watched this last night. Well, besides the nakkid Mio and the more revealing transformation scenes and Ink pulling up her dress after it got dirty, I really don't see why this was taken off the air. It wasn't anything that couldn't have been slightly edited D:

Anyway, nice random slice of life day-to episode~


EDIT: eh...wtf I tried to create an episode 6 discussion and wound up posting in 5.5 D:
guess I'll go change the topic title since no one really talked about 5.5 much

Argh!

What episode is this a chat for?

Okay, going with kuropon's post, as this is for the TV series, I'll mention 5.5 here, then go over to the specials page where 1 is 6 and 2 is 13!

As recaps go, this was pretty funny!

I do like Ruriko, and the Moetan Corner burst at the end was brilliant! I'd forgotton about them and there's nothing like a bit of engrish to put a smile on your face. I love all the little messages you get on the paper behind the moetan corner reader's left shoulder!

LOL @ Sumi falling asleep and then going to the park in order to foil Ink and Nao's date long after it closed for the day. The entire episode I was wondering why she didn't show up during the date.

But her maid took her teasing/bullying of Sumi a bit too far this time, by saying that she will remain stupid for the rest of her life. How could she make her cry like that?!
