THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I thought I was getting trolled in the beginning... in a good way.
It's been so long, I don't even remember half the characters anymore, but Mamiko Noto's voice is enough to satisfy me.
Alice-chan is so cute though. <3
CURSE THE OVER-CENSORING!

Okay, admit it, who wanted to watch Nocturne Girl's School Lacrosse Club instead?

I love the new opening song. So far so good, except for the fansub that I watched. Whoever it was needs to learn how to sub better, seriously. When did Onii-chan translate into Cute-boy?

And curse that damn censoring. This is probably one of the worst censoring I've ever seen. It covers like half of the screen. Seriously, at least use the steam censor where it's a bit blurry, not white out everything.

I really enjoyed this episode. What better way to start of a series than with a trip to the hot springs! I look forward to seeing the pink-haired singer in the inro.

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.

Decent start to the second season. Over censoring was bad, but wasn't really annoying.

Op was good, not quite as good as the op to the first season though.

Censors really butchered that episode, they were so bad that you couldn't even tell what was going on. It was an ok episode though, hopefully we will get a little more progression out of the main couple before the end of the series.

Ye God's the subs were bad a good deal of the time. The censoring made me rage for a great deal of the time. Here's hoping that AQS subs the uncensored Episodes when released.

I believe the subs where ripped from crunchyroll wrong or something. I don't think Horriblesubs sub anything anymore. If they did they would have obviously noticed the weird characters.

With that said this episode failed big time due to censors. They should have started the first episode off with something less censor intense :(.

What better way to start off than with a fanservice episode, but the steam was indeed bad.

Though at the beginning I thought I had downloaded the wrong show lol.

Great start for second season still, 5/5 :)

Censor steam fits this show. I don't want my 50 proof quality moe spoiled by cheap fanservice.

And on that note, cutely awesome first episode. My top show of the season at the moment.

Well Alice-chan seems to be interesting..and Nobunaga is adorable always, how come he noticed Yuuto come together with Nogizaka without question him? and didn't make a big fussed in school?

Yeah the Over Censoring is way too much, half screen block dammit

Actually not really, but it was a bit overkill.

anyway.. nice episode.. the censoring and the subbing will make me redownload another subber's or another version later.. but i never thought they are not official yet.. what a shame.. it's like we're back to the same drawing board as season 1.. but i still like it.. haruka and mika FTW.. the mamiko noto reference was also funny..

Hmm ok start. I quite enjoyed the first series but then again my anime tastes have changed quite a bit over the past year. These kinds of series don't appeal to me much anymore. I do think the romance was handled nicely in this episode though, seems like they will develop it very well through this season. The first half of the episode was crap though. Unoriginal Onsen episode with all the characters being there 'sigh' new maid is annoying, other maids are annoying.... Just shoved tons of fanservice in and all the people who care are annoyed cause crunchy censored it so much. Hopefully this season will not bother with random fanservice or pointless things much cause this season could have started better.

Oh the subs were horrid, truly horrid.

Well, it's not only Crunchy, the version MX broadcast had the same steam effects. Yeah, MX, the same broadcasting company that had the least censored version of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. I'm guessing it's just the airing time that decided the amount used.

Might as well get the onsen episode out of the way first...

I really liked the first season of this. I hope the second season doesn't run it into the ground...I mean, they pretty much made their point at the end of the first season. Which leads me to believe that this one's going to be nothing but fanservice and false hopes for Shiina...

I didn't really care about the steam. I mean that kind of fanservice is so overused I am amazed ppl still want to see that.

I pretty much liked the first season, but now this kind of show just seems so old and generic. They even started with a hot spring episode. :/
The romance parts were ok, though their embarrassed behaviour was really getting on my nerves. I know it was the same in S1, but it's just not cute or funny any more.

Not sure if I should continue watching that. I know there are some funny parts here and there and I have some idiotic hopes for a good romance plot, but is that worth sitting through the generic and boring parts?

Now for some positive things about the episode. The misleading beginning was well done. Additionally, that new loli maid was fairly entertaining and the OP-Video was really impressive. Might have been the best OP of this new season for now.

I for one thought that it was a great idea to start the show, identical to the first season.... It made people wonder WTF????

but I do think the spa episode should have been saved for later, like ep. 6. and the reason yuuto's best friend doesn't get suprised about yuuto and Haruka, is because everybody except yuuto shina and haruka knows that they are in love with each other..

the main characters are the last to know how they really feel. and it looks like this one is going to be just as good as the first when it comes to anime and manga referenceses.

alice-chan is just a personifacation of angel doku-chan...

but I just hope the DVDs are not as cencored like the first season, we didn't even get to see the kiss in the end...

wow the op was cool. haha that was soo stupid xD
this sounds like harukas voice hahahah
but impo pretty "senseless" for a 2nd season, since i dont think that there would be much of a obstacle that hinders them to become a couple. so a siina xx yuuto is not really possible anymore. i will stick to it though.
edit: the titles are all so perverted xD or i just have dirty thoughts^^

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...

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.
