----------------------------------------
They really make some of the characters clumsy in this series..

Still, they do take some cute shots of the girls with the camera. Idk what direction this show is going towards now but they seem to be having fun.

The girls better watch out now for perverts, especially one that is so close to them. I wonder how long it will take for them to realize that it's their manager that has been taking those pictures?

Fun episode.

That manager is a superb stalker xD. Hearing the Uogokoro song again was somehow hilarious.

Yui in that rabbit costume dancing was also good.

Here are two live-action karaoke versions of the Uogokoro-kun song:

In this first one, the three main voice actresses introduce themselves before
singing the song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnJEa7cLUWE

In this second one, many people, possibly the rest of the cast and production
staff, appear dancing to the song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0obZASiCq8

The line in the song that is subbed as "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" is

魚心あれば水心
Uogokoro areba mizugokoro

That is a standard saying in Japanese:
http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E9%AD%9A%E5%BF%83%E3%81%82%E3%82%8C%E3%81%B0%E6%B0%B4%E5%BF%83

Basically it means:

- If a fish is friendly toward water, water will be kind to the fish too.

- If you do a favor for somebody, you will get a return favor.

- mutual back-scratching

- Scratch my back and I will scratch yours.

魚 = fish
心 = heart
あれば = if
水 = water
心 = heart

The blue body of Uogokoro-kun simply represents water. The rope tying him
to the fish represents the mutual benefit and interdependence of a fish with
the water in which it swims. In a word, cooperation.

If you search on Google Images for 魚心あれば水心 you can see some nice
calligraphy. Just cut and paste the seven Japanese characters into the Google
search box.

I had a huge smile while they were singing the Uogokoro song. I almost sang with them. Almost. Well I did on the KUN part. Can't help it.

Nanako you're not safe XD! Yukari's a brainwashing sniffing senpai and the manager is a pro stalker. Brilliant cast. Absolutely brilliant haha.

Apparently, it is not just you. They are going to be coming out with a "Vocal
Album" CD. It goes on sale on August 27th for 2000 Yen. You can pre-order
it now in case you are afraid they will run out. It will have the "Uogokoro-kun
song" and five "character songs". In addition to that, it also includes the "Ah
Nagarekawa song" which they sang in Episode 1. I checked on Amazon Stalker
to see how the pre-orders are doing. The CD is not included in their list of the
top 2000. Besides that, I checked out the pre-orders for Volume 1 of the BD
and DVD and they are just so-so. This series is not a megahit in Japan.

If you want to find something more popular to watch, check out Rederoin's list:

LOL at the brainwashing

The yuri vibe is getting stronger and stronger each episode. New manager-stalker is great! Yukari and Nanako in various outfits are damn cute, nice imagination there!

The meeting while riding kids rides and the cold reaction were hilarious, they even put a butterfly there XD

At least the yuri-Yukari jokes are amusing.

Critical analysis:
Their new manager is a fan-stalker. We sit here an laugh at it, but if their new manager was a man, we would all be raging about it.

This series started off pretty bad. The awkwardness in a lot of scenes and airhead MC really put me off. It lacked a certain charm that grabs the attention of new viewers, I actually dropped it for a while after episode 1.
That said, the show is slowly starting to redeem itself (yuri-vibes help), but it's got a long way to go before hitting a score of 6 for me.

I kind of thought the awkwardness was the whole point... They're not super-talented idol types like you'd find in Love Live or iDOLM@STER. They're just ordinary girls.

Thank you for having kept an eye on since the beginning, the series improves while remaining simple and light in the narrative and plot.
Episode usable and excellent interpretation of characters.
The drawings will show great and the animations are good.
This anime-themed slice of life, I'm liking it very much.

sometimes politicians say "no new wars"
well im saying "no new porn"
i said if this episode had porn in it i would drop the show
the only bad parts were flashbacks to the previous episode
so i would expect there to be some more in the future but not a lot
i know the best thing for me to do is drop this but its really good so i currently plan to finish it unless it truly becomes porn
