LOL, the dream analyse part was so funny!
I hope Yamazaki doesn't kill him for stepping on Pururin-chan :P

When he broke Purin, I actually said out loud "Oh CRAP!!"
It's good he finally signed the contract and wrote up a scenario!

i lold at their faces after that. screenshot time!

lmao

yeah this scene was awesome and i hope this too ;)

Misaki is <3

LOL, poor Pururin.

Great ending loool :D also liked the part of the dream analysis...=D
mhh i wonder if misaki was an hikikomori, too...she's strange ôo

I kind of had this idea in my head like, oh what does Misaki have up her sleeve? I was expecting something truly unique as her means of ‘counseling’ Satou. I was kind of surprised when I realized that what she meant by ‘counseling,’ was just that. She took out a notebook and started reading to him, and discussing dream analysis. I mean, she seemed like such an enigma of an individual that I was anticipating a quirkier kind of counseling. But it’s still really great, because I can see that she and Satou have really great chemistry together, and it’s going to be funny to see them together—like with the dream analysis. That was too great; her reaction to him was the best.

lol purin got owned xD nice ending to a nice episode xD

It was interesting that he at once revealed his hikikomori self to senpai. Maybe because she's as..uh, troubled as he is? I hope to see more about that relationship.

Nothing much this episode, he got started with the vague counseling.

How can he listen to that song over and over?

Gheghe Freud ^^ I guess all his dream analyses give the same result.

Omg it was so funny when Misaki turned all red when she was reading the dream analysis...and their faces when Satou broke the doll...

lmao

edit:
fixed the img,cuz it's been deleted from tinypic when my account was banned,lol

Hilarious episode. Freud is just too fun to fool around with. I would've done the same thing as Satou.

ROTFL @ the last scene. Those expressions were priceless!! xDD
I'm amazed at the lengths Satou went to just to cover up his lies from Misaki, till he realised it was impossible and truth just had to be revealed. Male ego I guess. They torture themselves for nothing.

Their expressions at the end were priceless hahaha

She might have further plans yet that are "quirkier". And anyway, I do think they have good chemistry as well. It took me some time to begin appreciating Misaki, I wasn't sure if I liked how I felt like she behaved a bit like a know-it-all around Satou, but... I guess with them in their respective situations she gets to be that way, it might even be helpful. I'm liking her more with every episode, anyway.

I thought her counseling was a let down, but i admire her for her enthusiasm. Loved her reaction to his dream analyzes, sato was hilarious.
Poor Purrurin I made the same face when i saw her broken body. Good episode

I can't stand Misaki. She's even worse than she was in the manga.

Best episode so far.

Satou gets some character development, the "conspiracy" comes back into play, we get a deeper look at Satou's past experience with Hitomi, the project is started, and we are treated to a hilarious scene (obviously the dream analysis).

And the best part was how Misaki was so shocked. As if the imagery he gave her could get any other result. xD

I wonder if its because he hesitated that she left in that manner. Anyways, this show is like, rated an 11 so far, if that were possible on the ratings = )

Best episode so far. First half of episode was quite depressing, but the second one was funny again. I am glad he wrote that scenario - I want to see their game so much :)

LMAO!!!

The music in this show is really good. I'm gonna try and find the soundtrack. Good show thus far :)

QFT!!! I don't like her either! I've never read the manga, but I'm definitely not liking what I'm seeing in this anime.

I'm more interested in learning about Satou's past with senpai.

i agree, and my face was actually the same as them when i saw purin like that, lol

though im not a hikimori (yet), i think this anime might be really helpful in aviding that fate.

At least know he knows what as to be done.

I really liked the first part with senpai. I hope we see more of her soon. I like her a lot more than Masaki :3
I was surprised when she was just reading to him with her notebook. Funny stuff with the dream analysis lol (although I'm not sure if I've got it right or not XD). They're continuing with the game, awesome. Lol @ broken figure at the end haha XD

funny episode, the dream analysis was great so was there faces when they broke pururin.

Yamazaki Rage Mode.

That. Was. Beautiful. <3

A HUGE LOL ON THEIR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS :D
Psychoanalytic Literary Theory?

That was pretty serious at the start. o-o.

The ending made me cry of laughter.

i actually 'gasped' when he broke the toy....then laughed at their expressions lol

why is this so adicting?!

Great episode, the story is so cool. The dream analysis was awesome and those faces at the end! Priceless!

Loving this so far, it suits my taste so perfectly with all it's crazyness and otaku goodness

Great episode, was really funny with the dream analyzing :p and it's good that they'll continue with the ero game! And lol that last scene, he'll be killed for stepping on Pururin-chan :p

Finally this episode is good than the previous eps.
Senpai and Sato is great.
Misakai contract scene is intersting and well done.
4/5

Lol i don't know much about freud but i know about that some of his psychology revolves around sex . So i expected a funny scene like that LOOL.

whoa took a deep breath when i saw what he stepped on

also that dream interpretation was hillarious

That first seminar was interesting, it looks like Misaki doesn't really know what she's doing. It was hilarious when she looked up the meaning of the dream and went completely red.

Those little blue grinch things crack me up every time I see them too.

About the Freud dream analysis...can someone tell me what the "serpent, sea, apple, sword, handgun" dream is supposed to mean? Google didn't give me any results that satisfactorily explain why Misaki's face went red...

Oh my GUAM, this show is sooo awesome! I am LOVIN' it.

The serpent, sword, and gun were all metaphors for a penis. The stabbing part with the sword was the dick going into a vagina. The gun part was the penis having an orgasm.
Satisfied? ;)

I had a feeling this show would hit home with me but it really wasn't until this episode that I felt it. Not gonna blog but there are obviously similarities here as I'm sure there are with a lot of people who watch this. I also thought it was really funny that Misaki is using conventional definitions to for both describing Satou and structuring his "rehabilitation". Satou's senpai re-appearing helps with a lot of the development and I felt it was the most important part.

So he had a relation with his sempai or was it just a phantasm? As I thought, his sempai is the reason he accepted the contract. And as I thought, Misaki is something like a college student making her thesis or something like this. Her trying to explain her theory to Satou was funny xD

The scene at the end was hilarious!
