Haha, Tilarna's reactions when reading that magazine is gold.

I thought this episode was alright. The amount of crimes and underworld activites are still evident and running wild. Tilarna driving a car is quite badass but also really dangerous lol.

As a somewhat comedic episode it was good. Obviously they was saving on animation here and there.
Considering the pace of the story, they count on having at least season 2.

Tilarna crashing 2 cars in a row reminded me of TaleSpin and the whole plot around porn mags is just hilarious, yet absolutly plausible. Quite the funny episode!

Direction was more annoying than bad. Freezing on people's faces or a random wall whilst Kei arrives, a car catches fire and so on. Surely, this wouldn't have put them over their animation budget?

If the porn magazine freaked Tilarna out, then she's going to have a really bad time googling Jeffrey Dahmer like Kei told her to.

She calls him racist when he calls her an "alien"? why? like.. it doesn't make any sense, it's the same as calling people from other countries "foreigners".
In the other hand, her calling the earthlings "barbaric" and genuinely believing that the semaanians are superior beings doesn't make her anything but a racist, and the fact that he never called her on her double standards makes me believe that the author has no idea what being a racist means.

Well, other than that, nothing in the show offended me that much, the art is inconsistent and the animation is less than average, but it's somewhat fun and the relationship between the two MCs is kind of cute, this episode was especially pleasant since they spend more time on characters dynamics using the the porn magazines theft just as a catalyst, it helps that the crime was trivial so the show didn't feel like it was trying to take itself too seriously, I hope there are more episodes like this one and less like the fairy nuclear bomb faggotry one.

She calls Kei racist because he is using "alien" in a derogatory way, of course she herself also exhibits racism towards humans, but it is more so used in shock rather than in a demeaning way. Furthermore, it is shown in this episode while Kei is talking to the real estate agents, and in other episodes, that there is a general negative attitude and discrimination towards semanians by earthing-lings (and visa versa for semanians.
However, because Tilarna is in the minority on earth and experiences more discrimination than Kei, she has the moral high ground in that aspect of their relationship. Kei obviously likes Tilerna (not in a romantic way), because if he didn't he would have kicked her out of his apartment long ago. So, from what i gather about his character, he doesn't want to start a huge, pointless, unnecessary argument about who is more racist.

Hahaha, the beginning when the policeman & Kei casually talked about these porn magazines was funny, would have been even better if Tilarna had asked something about that ! Well, she actually did later and seemed shocked, that was nice

Also, best thing I ever heard this year : "Earth has porn everywhere", really gave me a genuine smile

Great episode overall, comedy parts took over the rest but it ain't a bad thing.

The episode was quite fun, but the one thing I don't get is why they made the whole second chase scene so over the top. They could have made it a normal chase with her ramming the car at the end and it would have had the same effect. There was point of having these unrealistic stunts in there and that could have been a decent place to make simpler animations instead of all the still frames.

I general it still hurts that I basically pray episode that they managed to get the animation finished to avoid a disaster like episode 3 and together with that I'm still incredible curious how the finished BD product will look like. Will they fix the placeholder stuff in the end or will they just keep it and not expect much sales anyway?

After the climax of the fairy arc with the healing and Kei getting to his cat it made me wonder if maybe he could be cured from his allergy with magic.

Guess I was right.

BTW why were they stealing porn? It makes no sense, I know they would need a literal tuckload of porn for smuggling but since when was buying that amount a crime?

Lol, this was quite the gold episode!

Soundtracks used for this episode was really cool too, especially that last one right before the ED. Kei acting like a child begging for the car after Tilarna destroying it was god damn hilarious lol. Lots of porn for this episode too, Tilarna’s reactions and Kei’s convo with the policeman were just pure hilarious xD.

God, that bit with the McCloud molesting scene was quite .. uniquely to say the least. Tilarna driving and destroying yet another car and saying those exact same words as her earlier was a great addition. Pretty cool room too, lol. Interesting info drop regarding Kei’s sister though, and it seems like Tilarna is in course to slowly developing romantic feelings for Kei is it or is it just the aftermath of indulging oneself into pornography for the first time?

Porn is for the semanians back in their home world. It is stated in this episode that only rich semanians have access to photos; photography technology seems to not have been developed in their home world. Also I'm pretty sure it was stated that pron is illegal in their home world.

A comedy episode after a lot of serious shit was well worth it. This reminds me a lot of Cowboy Bebop and I am loving every episode. Tony is an awesome character! Those chases were hilarious lol.


The one bit that is interesting is the mentioned of Kei's sister who died 10 years ago. With the portal opening 15 years ago I wonder if she was killed by a Semanian.

Kei and the other policeman talking so casually about their preferences in porn was sooo good. It was a funny scene but honestly, Tilarna discovering what "Porn" is and Tony molesting that poor Semanian boy were easily the best moments for me. I couldn't stop laughing for a while in both scenes xD

Leaving the poor/lazy animation aside, this episode ended up being a quite entertaining one. The interactions, dialogues and comedy in general were absolutely hilarious.

don't let the door hit you on the way out drama queen. clearly you never heard of characterr development ever in your life enjoy your boring static unrealistic characters and mary sues.

anyway episode was funny as hell a nice change of pace from the last episode. i hope this animation for this episode are a sign that they are back up to standards (i wonder if the fire had anything to do with the drop in quality in the last few episodes.)

Yeah in their home world not in ours, the only illegal thing they should be doing is smuggling.

Think of it as guns instead of porn, and instead earth and semania, the US and mexico. You can buy all the guns you want the only crime is trying to get them into a country where they are illegal.

In season 2 or 3 they could go to Tilarna's world. I wonder how humans are living there, only as tourists or maybe the richest can have houses there? and how semanians react to humans technology? *Men, Women and especially Children look at that marvel ...

When you have an episode titled "Need For Speed", expect it to be over-the-top, just like said title for the actual game reference.

Tilarna's driving essentially was a disaster waiting to happen...and getting her to understand porn in her own language is... hilarious though since pictures are rare on Earth (if you could call it that). Even the McCloud segment where he molested the Semanian boy was...what a perfection of an undercover.

Quite a breather and chill episode, opening more about Kei's history to Tilarna from Cecil. Plus that car chase happened too fast, it was bad but in a good way. And another wrecked car to add to Tilarna's tab.

Hopefully things will pick up pace.

extreme reaction, but I agree with the sentiment. drove me nuts how she wrecked his cars twice, is basically a jerk to him the whole time and HE has to apologize to HER for her wrecking his cars? I would've made that girl kick rocks the first time it happened. Is her attitude some type of culture thing where japanese men find it attractive? I just don't get it. I have almost zero respect kei now. what a pushover. hope he rebounds.

I also didn't get the point of the episode. Porn mags cost almost nothing. Heck you can print it out from the internet. Why bother stealing it if you can flip it for such high $? seems like a huge plot hole.

This episode made me laugh a lot and obviously made me love Tilarna more, she wants Kei to see her as someone useful and another thing that I loved was seeing Tilarna with casual clothes especially at the end of the episode when she invites Kei to her room, that dress fit perfect.

Well Kei and Tilarna are involved in an investigation related to the traffic of pornography to the world of the Semani, I laughed a lot when Kei and the police officer talked casually about the magazines, but that moment takes an unexpected turn when Kei's car is crashed and destroyed because of Tilarna for not putting the hand brake, seeing Kei cry for the loss of his beloved car was too sad and fun, but it bothered me that he treated Tilarna that way, she just wanted to help.

Kei how could you expose the innocent Tilarna to that porn magazine, you've corrupted her, her reaction was sweet poor thing, but the funniest thing was to see everyone's reaction in the office when Tilarna asked what is porn.

Tony was another character that made laughs in this episode, his transformation into the detective Mcloud was hilarious.
I really like the friendship that has formed between Cecil and Tilarna, but I found it very innocent of Tilarna to understand that Cecil and Kei were a couple, but most of all Tilarna wants Kei to trust her and Cecil reveals that Kei had a younger sister and she may remind his little sister, I agree with Cecil Tilarna and Kei seem like siblings.

Tilarna turned out to be a crazy driver, that wild way to reach the criminal and stop him was epic, but this meant the loss of Kei's new car, two cars destroyed in one episode, what a pity for Kei.

Tilarna has settled in Kei's house, her room is really cute just like her, I absolutely loved her dress, she is so lovely.
