This episode had a bit of a different feel than the previous two, I thought. Lots of dialogue, too. I'm glad that we are slowly getting to find out more about each character. Very enjoyable episode.

Lol @ her coming to school.
Her thinking that the dummy was a person made me laugh.

Wow, those students pestering the old lady...how low can you get. That is messed up. xD
The show is great so far.

Definitely enjoyed this episode, and all of the character development that came with it. In my opinion, some of that character development is probably essential to the plot - or, at least, the bit about Yuuno being more (darker? More evil!?) than the seems.

I get what Shinkurou was saying about not starting pointless fights... but if that were the case, he should have just given up his seat to the old lady. That avoids a fight but still gets the old lady a seat, doesn't it?

I also loved all of the misunderstandings that popped up in Murasaki's interactions with others, in the first half of the episode... Although, I agree with others that said the three-way conversation was hard to follow. I don't really like Yuuno - didn't before and don't after this episode either. Murakami isn't as annoying, somehow?

I am struck by how realistic the dialogue sounds in this series. Of course I am relying on subs so it's hard to have a precise idea of it, but it seems to be a lot more true-to-life than other animes in that way.

Also, this show is awesome :)

I love it, some parts are so intense while others are very funny. Nice balance overall.

Some of it is amusing and some of it is weird.

I think both the phone strap girl and the megane want the dick.

lol wut? who the hell bullies a 90-year old looking woman? unless you're high on drugs or something. And lecturing other people about bullying is..... not something a 7-year old kid could do.... oh well.

Kurenai can't use his fighting abilities unless it's for his job... yeah.. very convincing. Fuck his lame excuses. I'm not saying he should be badass or what.. at least do what is right dammit.

Another fun episode, and this is the first time I've really seen an anime that really pushes multi-character conversations. It's really fun to watch and keep up with. Also, the Shinkurou and Murasaki dynamic continues to be great. They really learn a lot from each other through their conflicts, and it's great seeing them trying to readjust to their lives while trying to live with each other.

Also, Yayoi's little quirks are great too. It's just these little touches that really round out this show.

This show is an outright delight.
I should re-watch it more often. Perhaps once a year from now on.

Completely baffled that people actually enjoy this episode. Every character is easily hateable, especially limp dick MC boi and the stupid brat. The music also sucks and the pacing is way too fast, just endless bloviating and hamfisted exposition coming out of everyone's mouth at all times. The first two episodes had plenty of warning signs, but this felt like a gigantic megaphone telling me to turn back and save myself. Dropping this nonsense feels so much easier now.

This guy is a terrible bodyguard. The 7-year-old is running around alone telling everyone her real name, because he leaves her by herself all day. Was he hired by the people who are after Murasaki? ANYONE could've abducted her by now.

I wouldn't let him babysit, let alone be a bodyguard.

And HE could've given up his seat for the lady if he wasn't going to beat up the bullies.

EDIT: I ended up dropping it because he was such a terrible bodyguard, and because the anime didn't explain why he was working for this Benika woman and her shady organization. Apparently the manga gives his backstory, so I might give it a try instead.
