Laughed pretty hard a few times during the episode, so no problems here. References were fun too, even if the episode was overloaded with them.

Feel bad for Shimada. Having the value of her picture reduced down to a toss-in freebie for buying Hideyoshi pics is so wrong. LOL.

This is the second consecutive episode that has ended on a touching, sweet note. Is this something that they're going to keep doing? Not complaining as I like the Shouko smile-head tilt combo as much as the next guy.

Soo many eva references. I tend to miss some gundam regerences since I have yet to see any of the series....(one day I will). Himeji's summon is a treat..

when did the pervert get geass? so the only way for akihisa to get a huge score is simple problems, and he only won b/c her score was 0, lol
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

I didn't think this one was all that funny.
But I did like it for the most part, it was cute.
Ah, I really loved the Code Geass reference, even though it was badly placed (:

That was Evangelion reference. They always use that kind of cross looking explosions.

Overall, this episode was full of references :D

Only 5 episodes left!?

Makes me sad

Hope there is a 2nd season
Even if there is one it would take at least an year.
Yukari_Hiwada said:
Did not make me laugh much but pretty entertaining episode.

Did not care with the references, I only knew few. Shouko was cute at the end, joining everybody with the supplementary lessons. I guess next episode would be interesting, judging from the title (Kiss, Bust and Ponytail). I hope for more Minami.
I hope so too. I kind of prefer Minami to Himeji.
Ryushi said:



Also, Akihisa's bracelet was supposed to make a SMALL field, so how could he reach the computer room, if it was distant?
He was just outside the room, so only a wall separated him from the cable.

Kinda like this episode.
I just don't find this show funny anymore. :|

The only good parts were:
THIS, THIS, and THIS.
*Ahem*
True. This episode was probably the worst yet. There were some funny things though, not much, but there were.

This show does not do references well... disregarding the other things it doesn't do well.

If it took half the references from Evangelion, why not a mind fuck ending?!

Shittiest episode thus far.

*sigh*

It kind of sucks that I don't like it as much as you, "Hideyoshilover".


Just showing my love for the best show of the season!
I seriously doubt that statement. This is far from the best show of the season.

Well, I am not surprised, considering your anime preferences... You have given all pokemon and digimon animes 10s. At least you got Spice and Wolf right ^^

Though I find it strange that you liked katanagatari, but didn't Durarara.
The only thing wrong here is you thinking you are actually someone to judge someone's opinion as right or wrong.

Weird I actually just started watching Evangelion, and then this episode has a CRAP-TON of Eva references!XD I also loved the geass and Darkstalker reference parts. This episode was overall enjoyable and funny for me. Hideyoshi, Voyer, Minami, and Yoshi was awesome as usual.

After all this laughter and things, they decided to make a "full" episode of summoned beings. They could do of course without half of the references of (almost) EVERY other anime that exists but still same as always. I can't wait to see the next episode (and since you've said that it's gonna be an episode for Minami I can't wait even more!!)

Yoshii-kun:
"No, this cant be happening.
Stop this, please.
Stop it!
Yuuji! Hideyoshi! Minori! Himeji-san! Dad!
Stop!
Make it stop!.......

Like Ryushi said, you can like what you want, i can like what i want.
We are in democracy, no ? XD
I can't give a shit for Haruhi because that don't suit my tastes but i love Pokemon & Digimon because i always liked "monsters" animés.
So Monster Ranch or others is more my tastes.
I love fantasy world, demon and other creatures like you can love more brainstorming animes, it's good for you. :]

And don't be afraid, i'm not ashamed to love Pokemon & Digimon. (It's two "things" i loved when i have been like 10 years old and now, i'm 22 years old. It's just like someone love football from their childhood)

And i'm not ashamed to love oppai, hentai animes too.
We can create a flamewar with the consoles too if you want ! Like, i prefer a Wii, some others prefer the PS3 or XBOX360. :D

I will butt in on this and just say that whatever you choose to watch....all you got to do is just accept the fact that the person likes going back on the subject most people I will assume like this show for its comedy/ecchi/perhaps good references and original summon battle thing but other series will like for other elements like me for example although I hate the vampire element in Dance in the Vampire Bund I absolutely like the action, struggles and little love that was between werewolf and a female human. Regardless accepting the other and not judging is best for me....just putting in my view.

In spoiler my anime list for now.

Now, now. What I only meant was that is normal for someone who likes Pokemon not to like Durarara, since they are completely different animes. I am not judging anyone, nor am I telling you what to watch...

I think it is kinda sad that people would watch a comedy like this and not expect to see some references and some serious plot holes. I personally love all the references! I think the greatest thing about this show is being able to watch it and laugh and say oh wow! That was totally an eva reference! Also all the stereotypes this show makes fun of just keeps me coming back. If you are any kind of otaku then you should all know better than to watch a show like this and look for a serious plot line...so don't disappoint yourselves and bring down the mood of the message board.

Interesting episode. I am awfully good at overlooking things in general. The fact that even in the non-sensible world of this show there were plot holes didn't bother me. Guess it was good to see a whole episode where they implement the battle system.
I personally like picking out references since it makes you feel that your abundance of anime knowledge is useful.

Tsuchiya and Yoshii trade converstion lol!!!!

The ESB system were Yoshii being is summoned randomly but poor him he always get the multiple pain from other people

Himeji's grown up version being.. FTW thats Lilith?? LOL Shimada's version

FTW Tsuchiya bullying Himeji ; Hideyoshi's being aswell

What's with Ironman, its and emergency and still the supplementary lesson is ongoing

Everyone's for the S.Lesson.

BEST EP since the last 2 ones. I bet ep 9 will be fun.

I'm going to go ahead and make a bunch of logical assumptions that might be able to cover some plots holes. lol.

Ryushi said:

Summoned being cannot exist if the owner is not inside the summon area, therefore instead of getting a 0 grade, all they had to do was exit school.

It seems that after the first summoning, the being became disconnected from the summoner (as shown by the summoners not being able to control what the being did, and where it appeared in summoned fashion throughout the school). So there's a big chance that walking out of the school wouldn't have made them disappear. (However, the point systems for the beings doesn't seem to be in the same database (I guess it makes sense for the points and stats to be stored in one system, and operations in another), which is why the beings' stats were altered so easily.)

Ryushi said:

Also, Akihisa's bracelet was supposed to make a SMALL field, so how could he reach the computer room, if it was distant?

It was only the summoning that Yoshii had problems with. "It's because you tried to summon it in a corrupted field." Which means that aside from summoning, everything else for Yoshii should work fine in a corrupted field that encompassed the entire school.

Y/N?

Man a non-harem episode and everyone complains, I liked the change of pace we can only have so many lesbian jokes before they get old(heck they still had one). I liked the subtle Eva references, like the symbol with Baka.

I just wish I knew what the guy at the beginning was doing, who knows, continuing story.
