Let's see of more of Jiggy Pepper shall be revealed today.....and more Niche as well.

I heard the full OP the other day. Sounds totally different in the long run. Like a rock song.

"I hate you. The next time you touch Lag, I'll kill you."
That should sound threatening but all I'm thinking is "Niche is love!"

I'm glad Ginny understood what Jiggy Pepper felt when he left the town, and her brother's feelings through the letter. Next ep. proceeds with Lag's travel to become Letter Bee.

Ah, Jiggy Pepper so badass, even with his lame name.

Haha, Largo got told by Niche. But it's his fault for being so creepy <3

Can't wait for the next episode. Lag's on his way. We also get to meet some of the other bees, it looks like. I know I saw Aria and Zaji.

I got a good laugh from that. xD Though, I highly doubt it, considering that they ran over my friend's dog and didn't do a thing...
Maybe Fedex does. :P

Anyway~ Good episode ^-^ Niche is definatley turning out to be one of my favorite characters, though she is still very much a child, and Lag is acting somewhat like her father: ("You musn't do that," and, "Don't say those things ever again.")
Love how Steak did his part by latching himself onto the lizard... thingy's tail.
I still dislike Nelli, even if she learned her lesson. She seems a bit bi-polar... One second, she's bent on making Jiggy cry, the next moment she's all, "Oh yeah, Lag, you can have this pass back because I supposedly figured out that stealing things is bad..." Yeah. xD
Nello's eyes didn't have any whites in them.... kinda freaky.
And I'm still bugged by how Gauche and Lag don't have eyebrows...
xD Just my rants. The episode is good and I'm willing the computer to post the next episode.

Well, the entire world of Tegami Bachi is quite depressing. Repressive government, eternal twilight/night, etc.

Man, every time I see Lag with that red eye, I keep thinking he looks like a chibi version of Allen Walker.

Also Jiggy's voice fits him REALLY well.

Well actually, he paid everything he had for just the bell, but he's also indepted for the rest of his life, which would mean he didn't actually have enough money to do anything that'd be worth it for Nello and Nelli

Another awesome episode!!! This show is becoming a fav!!! Lag and Niche may be one of the best duos in anime!!! Lag balling after Nello memory "pictures" was FTW!!! When Steak snatch the "lizard' tail out of the air, I LULZ!!! I knew Jiggy was gonna be a good person, but I didn't expect him to be the dude on the motorcycle. Next it looks like they finally get to the "Bee-Hive", can't wait to see the exam. Needs Moar Gauche!!! He needs to make an appearance soon!!! Love this show...Urahara Out!!

Anyway, looking forward to meeting new characters and everything. Jiggy looks cool. I still love the artstyle. I liked the lizard thingy better than the gaichuu! x'D

I had to rewatch the scene where Lag revealed Nello's true reasons for writing the letter. On a second watch, it was undeniably sweet, the way both siblings wanted the same thing, to take care of each other. I also liked that when Nelli parted with Lag and his friends, she pledged to get the money for the stamps by herself. I think it's good that this series doesn't reserve the coolness points for the protagonist.

Niche continues to be real sharp! And Lag shoots pew pew arrows from his finger.

While Jiggy is probably a pretty swell guy, there are definitely shenanigans going on. Lloyd and Signal know each other, and Lloyd continued to weird me out. Also, there might be some shady reasons why Niche is wanted so much. Maybe some people want to use her as a weapon or something, that's the simplest answer.

So far I'm entertained by this series, and even the drama works on me most of the time. However, if it can't deliver on the world-building angle, and properly explore the setting, I'll be pretty dismayed.



Hmm. He could have at least sent a letter or something to let Nelli know that he's doing something important with his money. Or properly say goodbye to Nelli. But it's also possible that he really did have selfish reasons for leaving and it was only later that he wanted to make amends somehow.

As I expected, Jiggy always cared about Nelli and Nello. But everything could be avoided if they had talked normally.
