As some said already, OP&ED are wonderful. I think that OP is well depicting Nino's mysteriousness.
and... Sister is so cool, isn't he?

Wow, it's like the first anime this season that has a pretty good op and ed. The episode was quite good also; I loved the mass and Recruit trying to pay back for the hair washing.

There's a lot of loud breathing in the OP and it's distracting as hell.

The ED is awesome, though.

What the hell did I just watch? This show just gets more awesome and weirder every time. I thought we hit the weird max limit at the welcoming party and then suddenly in comes the gun toting Brother. This is definitely one of the gems of this season, if not the only true gem for standing out.

Nino continues to stay pretty lulz. I think she has a pretty damn good chance at being the female lead of this season too. She is just so apathetic and laid back. It makes her a great character to watch.

You know there's many people would strike you down for blasphemy for that statement, Sister style, including myself. But after this episode I'm beginning to think this might just top the only other Shaft show I loved.

Strangely romantic and side-splittingly funny. This is the best comedy in a long time

OP is HNNNNNNNGGGGHHHH! It had a lot of RecXNino which is awesome. ED is very pleasant to listen to.

I'm surprised nobody is commenting that Gintoki's voice and Takagi's voice are in a comedy anime together again.

This is just great.
All those comical scenes where Nino was portrayed as a chibi with those empty, staring-into-the-nothingness eyes.. (Hiragi, anyone?) When the Sister showed up.. so better than expected.
OP was a classic.

Long hair.. long waving hair..
I love her hair.

QFT. That sister is GAR. I'd also say Cromartie meets Bakemonogatari meets Gyagu Manga Biyori.
Nino is awesome with her deadpanness. Also there are many Anonymous.

I don't think this will change on me. I saw frecking 14 eps of Bakamono and it's still the same thing, no development, lotsa fanservice moeblob characters and blabla...
But on the other hand Arakawa is different. Riku even started to change little by little. The other characters are also making funnier and interesting portraits. The cast is also superior. I like the randomness and loltac sudden scenes of it too.
