Yo dude! Been sometime! In regards to OP and ED, IMO OP is fine but ED kills the ears. WTF is up with the song and all. Only thing good is in the spoiler of the end
seriously the ED looks a lot more for kids IMO.

Akward when Makoto get into his new home and saw a girl wrapped in a futon at the entrance...
But it's Shaft, so it shouldn't be surprising :P

Love Erio's appearance in the moonlight <3

Meme is pure cuteness and I'm glad Erio is out of the futon, she's beautiful. That OP man, it searches for weaknesses in your mind and stays there. I was going to give the episode a 4 if the futon didn't go but since it was removed by Makoto 5/5.


For a 39 year old, meme kinda looks like somebody who is as ditsy as a 14year old and she kinda looks like she could still pass for an 18 year old.

Not to mention strong, my goodness Erio went partially through the wall because of Meme's throw, I wonder where she learned self defense because I would love to learn how to throw someone like her.

The main problem is:

But however strange was this episode, I chuckled a few times - because of the characters. Just... like mother, like daughter - the two of them are what makes me feel like watching the next episode. So... 3+/5 for this episode.

I can't put my finger on this show.

It doesn't feel like Shaft yet at the same time you can see what you normally expect from Shaft. I'm at a loss on this show. Regardless of what it feels like, this was an excellent first episode and I'm sure it will be a hilarious ride.

I missed watching a guy having to deal with an apparent nut case like in arakawa under the bridge (does Shaft like to make anime with nut case girls with alien obsessions?), it's everything you'd expect from shaft nowadays, I'll keep watching Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko as a replacement for arakawa. 3.5/5

Anyone hating on the OP needs to listen to it more than once to appreciate it. Animation and character design is complete win as well. Couple of shows this season I wish aired all their episodes at once and this is definitely one of them.

I watch anything by Shaft, but this was a lot better than expected.
It does resemble Arakawa, but with a younger cast. The pacing was spot on, I was watching this with a broad grin on my face throughout the entire ep, including the OP.
A male lead who concludes that a girl is so gorgeous, god had to correct it with a huge minus in the brain-department, is win in my book.
And aside from the usual head-tilts, it looks like they've hired an animator with a foot-fetish for this ep :D

Well some bits were SHAFT like while others were like "Did SHAFT really do this?" - is this the start of a new side to SHAFT? Overall it was a fun episode; I definitely consider this one of the "must watches" of this season.

Also (I don't care as I'm not much into the fanservice thing but I'm curious...) Was the censor for Erio's panty shot due to the new laws being enforced where they want to ban the use of underage kids being displayed in inappropriate ways in the media?

They started to change gradually after Bakemonogatari. Bakemonogatari was their show which combined anything they've learned throughout their history in a single show, it had most of their techniques and refined most, but it also invented some new (Headtilt, Gonzo cg artists, Eye-closeup) they pretty much kicked out all their old shit and are trying to be more normal and tone the artsy shit down, which is in my opinion a real shame.

That's the impression I get with them right now.

Nice pose comparison but then again recycling in anime what was done before is no surprise. Nice pointing out, I would never would have though so much resemblance is present. Whatever you do if you notice anything else similar in the future episode I would like to know. Thanks.

Thought the same thing and I'm pretty sure it is, since George and Maria also raised an alien kid.
