Quite honestly, the teacher is the only character that I actually like so far... I've only really laughed with him around.

What an amazing episode.
I laughed so much when Hotori deduced that the house was built around the ball thing.
Her idiocy is my amusement, but I also love her ability to think. <3

Moriaki-sensei was a winner in this episode; his thinking is ridiculous as Hotori's antics. He is easily one of my favourite side character of this season. I'm glad that story doesn't just go around Ayashiyama alone.

Even though I haven't got any big laugh since the start of the series, I'm enjoying this series more than anything else. I just don't know where that enjoyment is coming from if its not humour.

Wow, I had a feeling Moriaki-sensei would be my favorite character, but this episode completely confirmed it. I loved his flashback the remainder thing. That always kinda bugged me as a kid :P

-Chiaki's getting better with her voice for Arashiyama. I think I really like it now.

-Still lovin' that ED.

I just barely noticed that Moriaki has the same seiyuu as Gintoki. And I only noticed that because the mind-ranting sounded familiar.

This episode was great! I somehow think that Arashiyama's grandma maybe was Moriaki's teacher. Though it seems unlikely.

REALLY LOVING THIS SHOW. ARASHIYAMA IS AS CHARMING AS EVER. I ACTUALLY SUPPORT THE TEACHER/STUDENT RELATIONSHIP HERE AND I USUALLY NEVER DO. I LIKE MORIAKI-SENSEI. ARASHIYAMA-MORIAKI, GOOD COMBO.

This series doesn't make me laugh out loud, but it's great fun.
The art was a little whack this episode.

Moriaki-sensei was great LOLZ this time around. I'm really enjoying it. It's a shame this series doesn't have more viewers.

Btw, pi in the coffee ftw!

Agreed. This must be her best non-irritating work so far.

Moriaki-sensei is SO SHAFT xD.
For a second I felt like if I was watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei -a really different version, of course-.

Great episode, and great series.

Could it be that sensei's first enemy is Hotori's mother?

And that other teacher being there because she is in love with sensei, poor girl.

I rooting for Hotori to get her Moriaki sensei even though this might seems improbable. You know Moriaki-sensei and Hotori are really alike one overly serious, one not serious but both are fools.

I think they relationship are getting better I mean the teacher did try to play a prank on her.

I'm pretty sure that was meant to be a parody of some sort based on basic detective knowledge. I've definitely seen it done before (maybe in Tantei Gakuen Q?), possibly multiple times as well.

You know, I sort of had the same feeling. I thought of her mother first when the teacher appeared, but that of course wouldn't be possible considering Arashima's age etc.. no.. I think it's quite likely actually.

And hmm, while it's settled that the emphasized facial expressions are just a thing we'll have to take as SHAFT's trademark, that empty classroom, but at the same time 'filled' with neatly stacked tables and chairs, was just a perfect representation of their overall work. Yup.

That was actually pretty epic. It reminded me of this: http://media.photobucket.com/image/can%252527t%20do%20it%20there%252527s%20an%20elephant%20in%20the%20way/Noctiluka/purelystolenfrominterwebs/no-there-is-an-elephant-in-the-way.jpg Sorry about the stupidly long link.

I think this is the best episode yet. It was actually entertaining! I'm still wondering what happened to Sanada. Is he ever going to come back into the scene?

Best part of every episode: Hi Fu Hi Fu Mi Yo
I think it's probably my favorite ending theme of all the shows this season, while Shinrei Tantei Yakumo has the best opening.

Given (Man + Woman) >= 0 
lim(Morals→∞) [(Man + Woman)/ (Morals)]=0

As "Morals" tends to infinity, "Man+ Woman" tends to zero.
It simply means that compared to "Man + Woman", "Morals" is much much much larger.
(possibly meaning that the relationship between man & woman is insignificant compared to having morals)

lol. I think we all agree that Sensei is the only enjoyable character. I think Hotori is just annoying at the moment. Looks like little Sensei appearance next week though. =(

OH MY~ It's embarresing, but I can sure relate to Hotori in this episode - her talent for math really rivals mine in my school days, so it was almost nostalgic watching this. I actually did the "guessing the results" myself as a young teen XD~
Somehow - while I do find Hotori a bit annoying - she reminds me of my childhood self with all her stupidity. Not that I'm completely healed by now, haha ^-^;

Haha, some friend actually said "Boring ep, didn't laugh." So I didn't expect much - but I really enjoyed it completely. Moriaki-sensei was plain awesome and I really understood why they chose Sugita Tomokazu for the role - great delivery, Gin-sensei!

SHAFTs directing also shows through really heavy in this episode, great working in making plain scenes visually interesting. Some have said "I didn't laugh but still enjoyed it for some reason." I think part of the reason is the off-beat nature of the show plus SHAFT'ish visual weirdness - I barely laughed out loud too but just felt it was "Hella' cool" .
