| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Meh this episode isn't one of my favorite from the series. Bathing with money, recording a film, and some fan service. I somewhat like the friendship connection though. |

| They have some weird ideas there. They eventually settle on a 'Real Jinsei Board Game', although they then struggle to come up with the details. Ikumi can't draw. At all. That was a fun shiratori game. Then again I always love shiritori in these sorts of stories because there's so much you can do with it. Emi is a rather different person to how I had imagined her. She's really attached to Ikumi as well - thanks to Ikumi's responses - which were still structured as though she were playing a game of shiritori. So Emi is going to design their board game for them. Because Ikumi asked her to. Is that a different version of the ED from before? |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| kuuderes_shadow asked: Is that a different version of the ED from before? Yes. It looks like they have re-done about 50% of the animation compared to the ED of Episode 7 and earlier episodes. The way it is now, Emi Murakami (村上絵美) is given just as much prominence as Rino, Fumi and Ikumi. Emi is the girl who is in the Art Club, with the blue eyes, pink twin tails at the side and long hair at the back. We have hardly seen her in the series up until now. As well, Emi has gotten quite a lot of screen time in the OP from the very beginning. Towards the end of Episode 1, Emi wrote a letter to them asking for advice about the art club. Some still images of Emi were shown while her letter was being read. However, Emi herself did not actually appear. The animation of the new ED is kind of choppy, since the music works for three girls, each shown one at a time, but it doesn't work as well when there are four girls. Let's wait and see. Maybe Emi is going to play a more important role in the upcoming episodes. As for me, I want to see a lot more of the Student Council President, Kaori Shirakawa (白河香織). Oddly, they never showed us a clear shot of her face this time. I seem to recall that Ikumi's super sense of smell turned up two DVD's hidden in the grass with strange titles related to student council meetings. Could there be a connection? |

| A "meh" episode all in all I'd say be honest. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| I didn't really expect Emi to be a dandere as I initially thought she would be a bitchy art girl back then. The episode is a bit meh as well, but what I find curious is to see what happened to Kaori being behind the scenes. I imagined her to be a porn star who was involved in two ero-DVD and has a penchant for sado-masochism deep inside. Let's see how it turn out. |
| So the Arts girl got introduced. I enjoyed the first episode, however its getting even more repetitive. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Finally they talked with the arts girl who seems to be rather strange as well, i think she would make a great addition to the group with her personality. Tho i wonder how that board game will turn out with her personality. Seems the student council president has a secret agenda, the question is why was she introduced. I have a feeling we will see more of her. |
| The dialogue with Emi seems to be off... like it doesn't have a smooth translation that I had a hard time why she became friends with Ikumi quick... But glad that she is here now. We have been waiting. Looks like we will see more of the side characters of the show shown in the opening. If they had put the effort to make scenes connect properly, this anime would be more interesting, but it is choppy. |

| The 'pink' girl finally showed up. So she's an arts club member. She apparently took a liking to Ikumi. The ending song was changed too because of her. |
| Nice. The art girl is now included. And we have a Student Council Prez as an antagonist? Hmm... |
| I'd like a hug from Ikumi and Emi too :D! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| It was a funny episode, i still hate it how they speed up the jinsei questions. |
 |
| IT'S THE PINK HAIRED GIRL wow... it took a while |
 |
| Laugh-free episode. Perhaps the worst in the series, not that the rest were great or anything, but they at least got me a chuckle or two. Jinsei is becoming an anime I watch just for the awesome opening (it's been stuck in my head since the first time I listened to it) and for Rino, 'cause: best girl. Won't drop it... the thing with comedy shows is that episodes can't be winners all the time (except if the show in question is Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun), so maybe this one was just building for the school festival? I hope so. |
 |
| They introduced new character but even that, it was so boring. I find nothing funny or worth of laughing in this episode. |
| Been a while since I've watched this show ... Yeah I agree, not a great episode ... not many laughs except for the last part. New character and Rino bonding was pretty funny :P Hoping the school festival and the real "Game of Life" will be good though. Seems like they changed the ED a bit to include the new girl too? |
| This TV series seems to have taken a good fold, after a start not really exciting and after a decline due to two incidents do not hit the spot, now is growing as the plot and as narrative. The latter fielding finally some new faces to revive the fun and make it less monotonous tale. Drawings and animations of how good level quality. |
 |
| Honestly this show is a hit or miss in comedy. |
