| One thing I love about this show is that it can switch from comedy to drama. On the other hand, I don't appreciate the drama being interrupted a few seconds later. The first season had some great moments with drama that wasn't interrupted, but it also had many moments being that. I hope that this season will lean a little more to the serious side, because I'm really curious about the characters themselves. Well, enough of my whining. Great episode compared to the last and animation is better too. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| I didn't even remember how Stella looks in normal state until now. |
| Wonderful Hands down |
 |
| Maria in a negligee~~ <3 stormgoddess said: And I'm a girl, but why do I find Maria hot? :O Because she's the one wearing the pants under the bridge. The men are but little boys around her. |
| Dramatic and comedic moments interleaving, that was some great developement. And, somehow Maria was just awesome in this episode, never really liked her before though. |

| Excuse me "Hi~iimo Himo Himo Hi~imo!" Well this suddenly became dramatic all of the sudden but hey if it means we get more background on Nino I am completely for it. Though I agree, Kou should have closed his eyes because him bugging them out like that almost killed the moment. I also forgot how Stella looked a bit even though she was in the opening and in the race episode XD |
 |
| Yay for another great episode...and some Maria fanservice. |
| What a heart warming episode this was. Beneath all the quirkyness and insane moments the show has, Rico and Nino is one of the sweetest copules I have yet to see in a show. So far, this season has surpased my expectations! |

| Meh episode, Nino in her crow mod was slighty but with the crazy previous episode I was expecting a bit more. I quite liked the romance though. |
| The touching part was definitely the highlight of the episode along with the angry Nino. Although the episode did feel shorter than usual, wonder why.. But nonetheless I can't wait till Ric is ready enough to listen to that tape. |
| Hoshi is just hilarious! |
| aawwwwwwwww at ric and nino-san... loved this ep!! :D himo himo himo hi~mo himo! |
 |
| Ric is so BOLD! XDDD And the ending cracks me up all the time! XD |
| Nino when angry is hilarious. |

Axilla said: Spoiler tags never hurt anybody. (: Touching episode. I'm still not used to P-ko's voice actress. It sounds a bit annoying especially with the characters attitude in this episode. Nice to see a bit more of Maria in this episode. <3 right but it was touching moment still...right? :) |
| Nino's face when sitting on that pole was priceless. Great episode. |
 |
| Nino was soooo funny great ending in this ep |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

So many things to reveal that's for sure. |
| HIMO HIMO HIMO HIMO HIMOOOOO~ I'm starting to dislike Nino and I hate P-ko. Also, HIMO HIMO HIMO HIMO HIMOOOOO~ |
bskbob said: mja sweet and funny episode. Yeah a lot better than the last episode. Kind of a first seeing some romance and a little drama in this show. Until now all other attempts for drama where shadowed by the lack of seriousness of it all but this time it was really coming through. I kind of felt sorry for poor Riku there for a moment. The grow getting the cookies was very funny. Maria was good and sexy. And Hoshi is just one big troll and his really annoying at times. |
| For a second there i thought Arakawa was getting serious for once. |
| He hugged her. Ric, Good job! I like that scene |
| Great episode... great character development and touching Ric+Nino moments ^^ <33 |
  |
| look like this anime adding more drama and romance than comedy well i prefer more comedy than drama but still nice episode |
 |
| RIKU'S TAPE LOLOLOL. So much facepalm by P-ko in this episode. I like the ending to the episode. By far the best episode out of the 3 so far. |
| So intense! |
 |
| This is probably the best episode of the series for me so far. Its pretty impressive how this episode was able to switch from outrageously silly moments to serious drama. Can't wait to see what happens next and learn about Nino's past! |
 |
| Wow, some actual drama. unexpected. The tapes probably are something completely random. Himo, himo, himo, himo. |

| LOL XD funniest episode so far XD the himo himo song is rule XD |
| really love how the series can change from being funny to serious in just one episode :D Ric should have not touched that without Nino's permission : never seen Nino be angry like this :O Maria is such a troll XD i wonder if Sister will die if he sees this sexy Maria :) lol P-ko's dream about Kappa XD im glad Ric apologizes to her seriously ;) you do have to wonder what is that tape that Nino might lose Ric because of it. nice one Mayor and Hoshio!!!1!! Himo Himo Himo Himooooo!!! Character Art :) really love this gag episodes XD can't wait to learn more about Nino's past!! |
| While it was still crazy hilarious it did had a great touching moment! I personally didn't expect such a thing but well I sure like it! So let's see what's next! |
 |
| nino was super cute ontop of the telephone poll the ending was the best he he hugged her XD |
 |
| Well, if this leads to story development, I'll be happy. 3/5 |
 |
| Aww that part with Nino and Ric was just adorable! |
 |
| That hug it was so romantic. I've been waiting for it. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Pretty wholesome end the the ep |
| Inhales oxygen |
| This was an annoying episode, to be honest. Mostly because the girls put all the blame on Riku, when Hoshi was actually at fault too. And they made their own assumptions about how Nino felt. This was the first episode that didn't make me laugh at all, but that last-minute moment was so good. I hope it's back on track but if possible with a little more development on the romance side too.. |
 |
| That final chapter before the ED was heartbreaking and beautiful. Hearing Nino say that to Rec really hit hard. It hurts to see such a nice easy going character like her admit that she's been holding it in, terrified of separation all this time. This show is SHAFT's masterpiece. |
