I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Some good story development! Wonder if they'll really go to Venus. |
 |
| THE FUUUUUUUUK, IS NINO REALLY FROM VENUS????? FUKIN PLOT TWIST THE FUUUUUK |
| Great episode!! I couldn't but help feel bad for Ric when everyone ruined his romantic fantasy, though. ;_; Hopefully they'll be more chances for love on Venus! |
 |
| So they're going to Venus? Seriously? Oh my god. |
| SUDDEN PLOT TWIST was unexpected! And LOL at Ric behaving like a girl... Also the ED sequence changed this week. It's a storyboard of Nino! |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| I have no idea weather to take it seriously or not. I started out with a serious atmosphere but then it's still about venus. Though Nino is indeed not normal. This story is just so confusing at the moment. Specially since season one was just full of jokes and stuff. BTW the subs went out earlier than these past few weeks. |
| Shimazaki was threatened by Ladd Russo there :)). Mayor got a bit serious with threatening Shimazaki there, wonder what is really up with Nino's family. And I kinda like WhiteyXShimazaki pairing there. Didn't expect that Nino would be the focus of this episode. Even when the mood was serious, Ric is purely hilarious. Lol at his fantasy of Nino's parents and him blushing like a shoujo character. But Ric in a wedding dress is seriously creepy. Nino looked good in a tux though. An excellent episode. Hope this development continues. Shinbo doing a mahou shoujo anime next year huh. Is that the original anime SHAFT is making with Aniplex? And Aoi Yuuki is the lead. I may try it when the details come out. |
 |
| This episode was awesome!! I wanna see if they really are going to Venus, then it'll just be like the opening. Ric's shoujo anime faces made me giggle and Shimazaki randomly falling in love with Whitey made me laugh even more. Oh pfft, and the gag the twins made me laugh the most at the end, really makes me wonder what they're capable of. I love the new ending animation as well. |
| omg they going to Venus can't wait for that :P |
 |
| Whoa.. A good story development.. Also, I liked the WhiteyXShimasaki pairing.. :D LOL at Ric's face when sh- he is in fantasy mode xD |
| Had a lot of laughs on this one. Well, I don't think they are going to Venus yet since the next episode preview looks like it's going to be about Maria. |
| Bishi Ric allday errday. |
 |
| (Offtopic Statement: The subs are out pretty early than I expected for.) SUDDEN PLOT TWIST!!! Ric's fantasy becomes devastated by Gintoki Star. Also, different ending scene... |
     |
| Shimasaki is a great character; hopefully we get to see her relationship evolve a bit more... I mean her delusion. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Did anyone else laugh uncontrollably when she was punching Hoshi and Shiro? Just me? :< |
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence...” |
| mayor is win |
| WTF is going on with this show? I'm starting to think that they're still joking even when the tone is serious. I've made it to the halfway mark...I may as well keep watching. The many faces of Ric and his fantasies was great. Edit: "My prince on a white line..." LOL!!! |

| long time seeing such entertaining arakawa episode |
Averim said: mayor is win Indeed. That was enjoyable. I wonder what he was before he started living there? Unless it is just Kappa power. However, I am not sure how i should interpret their trip... I didn't laugh much exactly besides seeing frilly Ric, but my heads trying to compute if this is going to be a giant joke or not. (Good 7/10) |
| Nice story development, though the half-joking, half-serious mood doesn't do this episode justice, nor for the last episode that had this much relation to the main plot. |
| Loved the episode and loved Nino's ending *_* This is getting better and better! |
 |
PseudoJordan said: Nice story development, though the half-joking, half-serious mood doesn't do this episode justice, nor for the last episode that had this much relation to the main plot. I agree on the half-serious mood bringing down the overall mood. I still love any episode with an appearance by Whitey so its all good. |
 |
| Dead threat from the mayor, shoujo Rick, cool Rick, octopi parents, and an awesome imaginary wedding. I wonder if they really going to Venus. |
Karosene said: Did anyone else laugh uncontrollably when she was punching Hoshi and Shiro? Just me? :< Same here. When she punched them a second time, I almost spat out my orange juice from laughing too hard. |
 |
| Mayor wut? Isn't Whitey behind all those murdering threats? <_< I'm sorta tired at all those Shitbo eye flashes and yelling jokes combo, and I fear that this combo will appear yet again in other future SHAFT works too. Other than that, he did improve a lil' bit regarding his shitty direction, I guess... |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| That was anticlimactic for a seemingly serious episode. And a randomly funny one at that, to say the least. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| "the hour of air i brought last time wasnt enough" ....aka she was under water for over an hour 0_0 holy crap she's really from venus lol |
 |
| Loved this episode. I really enjoy the semi-serious scenes between Ric and Nino, it was too bad that it got hijacked by Star. I know we'll probably get some more gag filled episodes next, but I hope there are a few more like this one left in the season. |
| Finally, it's awesome again. |
 |
| lol this was so funny. I want to know more about Nino. There is no way she is really from Venus..right? right?! |
| Plot? In my Arakawa? Well, I never! If you had any doubt Nino was from Venus this episode is trying to prove you wrong. Mayor's cool, threatening Shimazaki like that. I wonder how he and Nino are connected and how he gets those tapes from Venus. |
yamakasi said: Mayor's cool, threatening Shimazaki like that. I wonder how he and Nino are connected and how he gets those tapes from Venus. Because it's not him to begin with? Mayor has long hair, remember? And the d00d who threatened the secretary has short hair. Plus, right afterward, Whitey met her AGAIN when she was tailing Nino. Coincidence? I don't think so, unless you telling me that Whitey is under Mayor's orders... |
If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| i always thought nino is just misinterpreting her memories by thinking she's from venus but that one line from the manga guy saying his oxygen tank couldnt last an hour while watching Nino underwater confirmed it shes not a normal human. that explains that one scene with nino showing the twins how to swim which took several minutes before she came ashore im getting really interested!! |
 |
| Nino punching Whitey and Hoshi was soo funny! |

I don't think so, unless you telling me that Whitey is under Mayor's orders... the long hair is attached to his mayor kappa mask. Also the guy had the mayor's voice and why would whitey say he was protecting Nino? The mayor is the only one who knows the truth other then her. Also whitey only showed up cause he likes Shimazaki. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Weird things constantly happen in this show so I wouldn't be surprised if Whitey is somehow involved with Nino. Another thing to notice is the wrinkles around mysterious person's mouth and Whitey once again fits the bill. The hairstyle also fits his too. The voice sounds like Mayor's more but it's not that far from Whitey's either. In the end, I guess we can only wait to learn about Nino's origin as well as her associates in order to determine once and for all who's really behind those threats. |
If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| Unexpected turn of events! But I fear that it will be revealed as some kind of joke in the next episode :/ |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Story! Development! Venus! |
| What is this I don't even Plot in my Arakawa? O.o |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| The beginning was hilarious with Nino just walking back and forwards on the desk. Then going underneath it and lifting it while being ignored :P The scene where Shimazaki was threatened was great, and seeing Whitey intercept her was nice as well. Nino punching Whitey and Hoshi in the face was hilarious. I liked how the episode is half-serious and half-comedic. Although, I would prefer if the series got a bit more serious at certain points. |
| Best Arakawa episode til now! :-D |
| I smell Nino's fish around here...I hope they'll make this season a 24-episode one, not a short one like the first, so they can blend humor and plot in a well-paced manner. Well some watchers won't like this anime's rhythm, but you'll find it unique once you learn to adapt it... |
| another great ep.. :D potatochip's drawing was most interesting of all.. i really want to know what is happening.. venus? are they serious? how can they get there? :O lol at shimazaki's reaction to shiro.. hahaha.. can't wait for the next ep.. it will surely be interesting! :D |
 |
| I thought Whitey was married. |
