I actually thought the karaoke was kinda cute until they got interrupted by the phone call. Pretty slow episode..

I wish they picked some better music to work with. Sucks to get a hurt foot though. Ouch.

Been loco for Locodols since day one and with Mirai entering the mix that's not about to change anytime soon. New fav character right there!

As people have already said above, this was a slow episode.

I think that last week's episode was also quite slow. Everybody was at home
waiting for the TV broadcast to come on. But I found it extremely interesting
to see the home situations of each of the girls. Their houses are all of very
different styles. For example, Yui lives in a very traditional Japanese-style
house. But Yukari lives in a home appropriate to an extremely rich family.
Also, it was very interesting to see the other members of their families, most
memorably Yui's younger brother. So I didn't mind the calm atmosphere, and
I never felt that it was dragging while I was watching it.

This week, I didn't find anything that fascinated me. So I said "this is kind of
slow" to myself multiple times while watching it.

Is this fundamentally related to the content of the manga?

Or is this a poor-quality episode due to insufficient effort on the part of the
anime adaptation team?

I really, really love the Uogokoro-kun song. However, there might possibly be
an upper limit on how many times it can enjoyably be sung during the series.
I think that (partly) singing it twice during this episode was too much.

Also, this episode lacked any kind of an "edge". We didn't see any swimsuit
or fundoshi (loincloth) fanservice. There was no Yuri subtext. The pervy
manager didn't even snap any photos.

Let's see how the Blu-ray/DVD pre-order "Amazon Stalker points" evolve over
the next week. At this moment, for Volume 1, the BD has 1805 "points" and
the DVD has 473 "points". It goes on sale on September 24th.

For Volume 2, the BD now has 1297 "points" and the DVD has 310 "points".
It goes on sale on October 29th.

Mirai is def. Waifu tier. I love shy girls. And now Shydols? Sign me up twice!
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

I found the episode dedicated to Mirai entertaining and it didn't seem at all slow. Mirai's shyness is cuteness overload. Nanako has found a comrade in the flat-chested department.

Mirai is sure a very shy girl. She did well on her performance anyway.

Slow? Not at all. I actually wanted more Mirai. Too cute. Too cute.

Okay, so it seems that a lot of people really did like this episode. Basically, it was
about Mirai. So fans of Mirai would really enjoy it. As for me, I feel more affection
for some of the other characters. But I can easily see that Mirai is really cute and
adorable, so it makes sense that she has a large fanbase.

They just posted a brief summary of Episode 9 in Japanese. You can find it here:
http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/locodol/story/#story09
Here is the entire text in Japanese, without translation into English:

It would be really great if somebody can provide a proper translation of this. As
for me, Episode 9 looks thrilling and I can't wait for it to air. I definitely don't
want to accidentally give out spoilers, but if you are really desperate to know . . .

The clumsy version of Mirai's Uogoro-kun was hella cute!

lol @the drinking sound. Did they really drink or just suck the water by force?

I wish they have another song other than the Uogoro-kun song though. It's really addictive but they need more than that.

I also found the episode slow too. It was still a nice episode.

Glad to see Mirai-chan getting livelier now.

It might not be cheap. In Japan, they have something very similar to eBay where
you can bid in an auction or else buy it immediately for a price set by the seller.
Here there is a set of items which includes Uogokoro-kun. The current bid is at
5000 Yen, which is about 50 US dollars. The auction closes in eight hours.

http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d155981348

Unfortunately, it looks like they only sell to people who live in Japan, but I'm not
sure.

You can see the exact same set (I believe) at 08:28 on this YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C27JfCASJBI
The girl says that the set cost 3500 Yen, but only if you bought it at Comic Market.
So that would explain why people were buying sets there and then re-selling them
on places like eBay for higher prices.

Here is some more information about the various things that they were selling at
Comic Market (コミケ86) which was from Friday, August 15th to Sunday, August
17th. http://blog.locodol-anime.com/?p=296

5/5

Not boring episode, I would say very frank in the topics addressed.
Episode that casts its bases on the analysis of the character of Nacci.
Narrative slice of life to the core, quiet, for me is OK!
Drawings manicured and smooth animation, I do not regret the fact that you take the time for this TV series really pretty and nice.

Mirai was the MVP of the episode. She's getting some really nice character development.
