I knew Hiroshi was a good looker in the the past, I mean even in the present he still looks semi-decent, but to think he looked that good to the point that he had girls wanting to take their panties with him... lmaoooo. But an entire episode for Ontan's past did at first seem like a bit too much, but in retrospect was really needed. Loved the whole saving that helmet dude segment. Shows how caring Kadode really is towards the aliens or whatever they are. Also good to see Kadode's dad again. But ffs, typical bully dweebs that think they're tough, meanwhile they are legit picking on a girl... okay.

Kadode put them in their place thankfully. We're starting to uncover more about this whole invasion thing now, which is now looking like the real story is about to begin. Really does feel like it was the start of the adventure for these two. So precious these two are. Then all that sweetness gone all because of these stupid twats picking on Kadode... like jeez let the girl be you fucks. Then Kadode came in and started going crazy on those stupid fucks. Thankfully. And hey, he got a servant out of it and got them to be actual respectable human beings.

Slowly but surely they're gaining Isobeyan's trust, nice. Seriously though, these two are precious for their own good. Really hope nothing too bad happens once we get out of this flashback.

Handsome Thin Hiroshi is so amazing lol
I was just thinking that we've had hardly any Isobeyan content in the anime when in the manga it was much more prominent, where we would get full pages of the Isobeyan manga.
This is the most we've had of that so far, where the invader is shown to pretty much be a parallel to Isobeyan in the manga that Kadode loves so much

Really interesting flashback episode. The mysteries are slowly getting revealed.

Hiroshi was definitely a handsome mf in the past.

My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.”

For how much I don't care for most Asano Inio manga, glad at least that this was chosen to be adapted since this was the one manga I did mildly enjoy. And despite some flaws early on with the adaptation, can feel mildly positive too about how this anime has been going so far, was nice seeing a more focused backstory episode with Ouran and Kadode and how they became close friends, and more mysteries being built again. Wish some of the stuff that were left untranslated like the note for example, be translated. I don't know why that and the untranslated signs are left like that with the official release, just screams laziness there.

Okay so they started adapting the best arc in the manga, the episode was great and maybe better than the manga, next episode will easily be better if they don't mess up but I feel like in the big image changing the order is bad
In the manga this story is much later after some motivations are explained and characters appear and works as a climax of sort but I trust Inio Asano that it will work somehow, I also encourage everyone to read the Isobeyan chapters of the manga if they manage to find them because they add a lot to the story at this point
But I will say that the flying scene was my favourite scene in the anime so far, I will have a lot more to say in the next episode or two since I don't want to spoil and I won't succeed talking about this episode without wanting to talk about them, but again I have to ask anime onlies-what did you think?

Also I think no one can say Hiroshi isn't the best brother in anime

This one. Every time I think I know what's going on something changes. It's great having something fresh instead of another op main character flexing nuts.

WAIT. So Hiroshi was a chad in hs and had girls throwing their panties at em?? What happened to bro 💀? Amazing episode though, felt like an introspective analysis of the human condition. Lot of good stuff in here to talk about. Flashback or Alternate timeline?

First of all, I wouldn’t have blamed the alien for calling an invasion within the first 10 mins of this episode because how stupid do you have to be to find an alien crash landed on the beach and your first thought is to beat them up 💀 those kids at that school are fucking stupid.

If aliens came to study this particular town they’d have to be pretty disappointed with how cruel and selfish most people are. But Kadode and Ontan serve as an example of what humans have the capacity to be. While humans do horrible things and hurt others, they also have the ability to love, protect and grow. From a neutral perspective like the invader, it’s gotta be really interesting to see the contrast in humanity. His race seems a lot more objective and less emotional.

The whole bullying stuff with Kadode got me so angry. Kids are so damn cruel and seeing how not only she was treated, but those who even tried interacting with her like Ontan made me so frustrated. I wish a teacher or parents got involved to break up that nasty shit.

Posting about her on an anonymous form and requiring people who talk to her to be “punished” is so gross. The invader’s invisible cape came in so clutch and Kadode beating all of their asses when they came after Ontan is perfect. If you call me a demon I’ll be a demon type shit.

That flying scene at the end was so cool and arguably best moment of the series so far! Im torn on rather this is a flashback of an Alternate timeline type thing tho. In our currently timeline, the girls don’t seem to have knowledge of getting intimately involved with an alien like this so either their memories were wiped Men in Black style of this is another timeline which goes back to what the other invader said a couple episodes ago. Either way, excited to see where it goes from here. Such an underrated watch.

Although this is a flashback, I feel like there's a LOT of foreshadowing.

The ailen stated that this could be a real invasion.. Depending on his word. So, for example, if humans attack him, he'll deem the planet unsafe, and then Earth will be invaded.


BUTTTT... Remember last episode? Humans were just shooting all of their UFOs out of the sky. If anything, that's definitely EXTREMELY hostile, and I feel the ailens will react appropriately sooner or later.

Hiroshi has not always been so fat then.
The Girls and the Aliens go way back, but how do the flying things attach to their heads??

If I'm not mistaken this episode is from Maybe volume 8 or something in the manga. Guess they're swapping things around for pacing's sake. I don't mind that much but the aliens where a big mystery in the manga and now we already know what they look like in episode 5. Time will tell if this is overall better.

This episode was pretty good, and that little alien guy is pretty cool, I guess that little alien deleted their memories when he was about to leave the planet or something, that's why those 2 girls never talk about that little alien in the present.

This is a good anime so far, why are people sleeping over this? this forum is barely active.

If doraemon doesn't come from the future just grab a copter from an alien instead smh. Good episode with the backstory of our two leads, how they met, how they became friends, how they found an alien and their mini adventures. Fun stuff and now some of the stuff Kadode or Ontan said gets different meaning. Like you'd think they just wanted to believe things like the aliens aren't gonna invade them and such but it's cause they actually met one before and learned stuff from it. I'm still curious to know what that alien boy meant by shifter. Maybe she's an alien shifted in Ontan? Who knows. Knew Hiroshi was smart and popular in the past, wonder what triggered the change. This could also be related to Ontan/shifter thing.

Extended flashback in SD aspect ratio.

So Kadode and Ontan had met an alien years ago. Maybe that's why they have no reason to panic. Still weird that they seemed to have lost contact with the original alien they saved.

Now we know how Ouran get that cheeky and kinda retarded personality. Maybe that alien mind wipe their memories of him..? that's why they didn't even mention him on latter episodes.
