bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
wheresthehandle said: Fuckin' laughed my ass off at that part. PRINCESS CARRY FAIL Stella is friggin' brutal. She's pretty immense..The other chick is cool too. Laughed hard when Kou was talkin' of running off, and then he turns round to see HoshiStarface n the others already peggin' it. Good stuff. |
 |
| This show is turning out to be a lot of pointless "lolrandom" and unfunny posturing. Disappointed. Might drop it. |
animechap said: Good to see this from you antitype. Seeing how you seemed to like the show at the beginning (even though it wasn't Yuasa) made me think you would actually like this episode. I thought you quit MAL? I'm confused. Anyway, I think Arakawa is a really nice-looking show at times, with all the aqua-hued skies and green grass and... well, that's pretty much it. The character design and animation is otherwise nothing special and full of SHAFT's clichés repeated ad nauseum. The humor is about as stupid as that of Detroit Metal City -- they both have a premise that should be a source of great comedy, but they totally blunder it. The "scary" little girl was definitely the tipping point for me. Just another disappointment. |
| LOL. I've been watching KSN subs since someone mentioned the translation differences a couple of weeks ago. They're pretty slow, so it sucks. I kind of liked the episode. The first half with the date was hilarious, brilliant, and poignant all at the same time. To see that side of Nino so early on kind of caught me off guard, but hell, I said that last week, didn't I? As for the second half...a little boring. I don't get the hate for Stella. She is what she is. Let's not act like all of these characters are wholly original. Riku is just a variant on the straight man, Nino on the crazy girl, Sister on the bad ass, Star on the obsessive guy. It's how they're used that counts most. That said, her parts were amusing enough, but I was over it rather quickly. I really liked Maria, though. |
| Blushing Nino = Super cute. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| ROFL LAMO, I just laughed my ass off during this whole episode. Nino blushing was cute. I thought Stella was really funny in her own way; Saito Chiwa's versatility is just amazing. and the last, sister scar explosion scene was just bomb... I've never had such scene that I laughed insanely like that. |
| Maria's crazy....and scares me...>: What's wrong with her... |
 |
| hahahaha x) This episode was good! the little girl was funny and I cant get ova sister hehe Looks like Kou is trying to live up to his name now too (that is as Nino's lover) bless ^^ |
| I laughed so hard during the entire date; especially the "princess carrying". The middle part with Stella was fine, a bit boring. But Maria was full of win with her insults. Hilarious episode. |
 |
| Kou's wtffaces are scary O.o |
| Princess carrying, ahahah. Haven't laughed this much in a long time. |
 |
| This anime is turning into something epic! Another few episodes and I see this going on my favorites list ^^ |
 |
| LOL awesome episode, there date was hilarious xD princess carry ha ha ha then the introduction of Stella and Maria, "Stella only 3 combo chains for normal people" xD |
| hahahahaah everyone in this bridge community is total wacko |
 |
| I feel a bit confused after this episode. Why Sister suddenly starts bleeding? Maria is strange. Stella too. But I can't wait next ep! |
| Poor Ric getting owned by Stella and Maria xD |
 |
| Weird characters? Check! Comedy? Check! Moe? Check! Exploding Scars? Check This anime is the biz niz!!! |
| It was really unbelievable how Ric has absolutely no idea of how to carry a girl like a princess when he graduated with all A's. D: Nino's facial expressions are just as cute as ever. Gawd, this girl is unbelievably adorable. XDD |
 |
| The dating part was ridiculous xD This show is hilarioussss |
 |
| Haha Maria. |
 |
| Princess hold, princess hold, princess hold. What else is there to say? |
 |
| Two new weird characters under the bridge and even a whole farm. I guess Ric was right with asking himself what the hell the gouvernment is doing. |
| Good episode. |
| How to carry a princess. I laughed my brains out. |

| The 'Crossing Distance' part made me lol so hard. |
rlime said: The princess-style carrying really cracked me up. =D ^This. (It was my favourite part of this entire episode.) I thought the 3 guys running off and leaving Recruit with Stella was funny too. (I didn't really like Stella, though... >_<) Maria & Sister were great. :) |
 ~Heart & Thoughts With Japan~ |
| I don't get this... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Grass ship moment was sweet Ric planning to escape but the rest went out before he could say something - taking care of Stella scene Since it's been a year now, I wonder how could those landmarks/characters just sprout out of nowhere |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Blushing Nino = <3 |
| This is the weirdest thing I've ever watched, it's good lol Stella rocks, she made me laugh SO hard when her voice changed XDD and then Maria... Oh my god. |
   |
| This anime is a drug. |
| i love this show so far |
 |
| OMG this show. Maria made me die laughing.... JUST realized Sister is voiced by the legendary Takehito Koyasu. His voice.... hnnnnggghhh.... so awesome... Must watch moreee... |
  |
| wtf, how can little girl do that |
 |
| That is some fine princess carrying skills you've got there, Ric. xDDDD |
 |
| God damn this episode was hilarious and on top of that, I liked the weird moment of bonding on Riku and Nino's date. This series is great so far, it's so freaking charming. |

| o god, sista died....WERE ALL DOOMED!!! and crap, now were gonna have to deal with the main char. getting his @$$ kicked physically and mentally. |
     |
| i liked Maria she talks likes it's something normal to say.... i didn't like Stella thoug i don't know why i find her annoying.... but why did Nino toke of the dress???... |
| There are some eccentric people under that bridge. Can't stand Stella...annoying. The farm is cool though. |
| Nino blushing = cute. <3 Stella is so annoying and Sister with Maria is so funny! |
| Did not understand that random distance thing at all. Heartfelt zero distance? Wat. Or rather, I got the essence of the initial point, but you could tell Kou ran out of ideas when she asked for more, which was lol. The Princess Embrace was HILARIOUS. "You'll be wasting precious oxygen on Earth when you talk." Oh my god. |
