Girls in their element?
Ino is really a scary girl, even when they managed to make her somehow kawaii (Nodoka deja-vu when opening her curtain)
And how is that hairstyle called which Torako made for Ushio? I've seen it often (Busou Renkin, for instance), but don't know how to call that.

Very nice episode! Tsubomiya Inori is great! She can be Sadako Yamamura from Ringu or Miss Pure virgin to marry. Tsubomiya Inori most appealing thing is that dark aura and the fact she scares people.

My most LOL moment was at the hair change scenes! Hilarious! Here how I illustrate it since pic posting is allowed on this forum. Do not worry I will not abuse like that person angel999 and I will put in spoilers if anyone says so in this thread.

NOtice the difference and you might figure it out why to me this is LOL so much in this episode. Made my day this one as well. When I found out that the teacher's hari was changed this also made my LOL of the day. So much fun in anime. Nice! ;)

Old Inori:


New Inori:


The teacher cracked me up with his new hair style by Torako!

About that compare this and you might figure it out:


After subs thoughts

Well there is definite Ringu parody playing around. BTW Suzume is wrong about getting cursed, you have to watch the tape. Just shows she believes some stuff too serious. Inori needs someone to teach her make-up/grooming.

45% on the quiz? O_O Torako most likely will never get into a university like that, most likely not even college.

It was fun all the way and would re-watch this many times over but not in one week but would re-watch it sometime for sure.

I'm so glad that they finally had an episode on Tsubomiyo Inori...been waiting for an intro/episode about her since the beginning of the series. Certainly didn't disappointed at all...in fact, I LOL-ed so much during the entire time. It was great being able to see different hairstyles for the other characters as well.

Never knew make-overs would be so fun, hahaha~

Pretty fun ep Suzu should change to one of the hair style in this ep, they look better than her current one

Superb episode, everything was hilarious, from the misunderstanding in the beginning in the bathroom to the makeovers in the end. Torako combing the teacher's hair was great and the fact that he showed up "evolved" the next day was classic.

Hyakko is certainly one of the highlights of this season.

Interesting how they took the serious issue of social anxiety and made it into comedy.

But I must say, I've been looking forward to this episode for a long time. Next we need a Touma centric episode.

I had been thinking that she looked like Sadako for a long time, and they finally brought it up.
They also made fun of Inori in that fake episode preview, when she comes out of the well :3

I have to agree about what a good job they did with taking such a heavy subject like suicidal lonelyness and dealing with it in a funny but respectful way.
This was one of the best episodes I have seen so far.

I lol'ed so hard during the bathroom scene, haha. It's probably my fave highlight out of the episode.

Although it may not be shocking anymore to see a kawaii factor in girls with their face covered by the hair, I think I got that weird moe sense tingling. Or it could be just my perviness.

Oh man Suzu is just hilarious and Torako is definitely the best character in the show. I actually think Nene's new hair style is much better than her regular one.

They have brought it up already in 6th episode after ending :D

I have to agree, best episode so far, however i liked most of them nearly as much. And my fav scene was from the bathroom too i guess, tough hard to tell, whole ep was hilarious.

Edit: ops i have just read 2nd part of your post, nvm then xD

Ok, I said in other posts earlier to be honest to me is important within MAL. Well, I can't get enough of Inori either in that new look of hers. Truly someone should teach her about the whole make-up and grooming. I wonder how is her family? Mom/Dad must look quite something. I could not even grasp how they might look. XD

Certain characters having different scene showing them in the OP. There is not much change but I keep thinking that some characters are shown differently. I guess the easiest way to explain is certain frames have perhaps different angles than the previous OPs of those characters.

Right! I loved the epi too, but it looked like flat carboard cut-outs on a CG frame. The backgounds had depth and the carecters were 2D and mostly static.

Oh well, the writting is awesome. if theyed spend a bit for actual animated characters, The entire package would excell

I loved this ep.

Torako can get on well with anyone XD

And I really can't get enough of the Nene jokes. They crack me up.

Ushio's hair kinda reminded me of something out of Cromartie. Maybe that's because it's to do with delinquents he he he.

I absolutely loved this episode. Like some of the other posters here, I though that Tsubomiya-san deserved an episode of her own... and when they made it, it didn't disappoint. I was laughing so violently that I broke one of the wheels off the chair I was sitting on (during the bathroom scene). The Ring references were perfectly executed.

With regard to noteDhero's comment, I've watched a few minutes of the RAWs for episodes 9 and 10, and the quality does seem to be getting a bit flat. This is often the case for short series made on a light budget. Drops in production quality usually occur in the middle of a series, but pick up towards the end (There are exceptions to this general rule, most notably "Last Exile"... but I'll leave that for discussion elsewhere). I guess producers like to go out on a bang in the hopes that the networks and sponsors pick up the sequel.

I was noticing the lack of quality the last few eps. It kinda sucks, but I dunno, I feel it gives it some kinda edge. Haha, rather than production levels up the yazoo. Meh, I'm just impatiently waiting for episode 9 to be subbed :3.

It's called the "pompadour" and, in Japan, is commonly associated with delinquent types, although it was originally made in the 50's by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and the like.

This was most definitely one of my fav episodes of tihs series. Re watching it doesn't take the humor away. I love it still!

haha all those hairdo's , and some were even better than their regular ones. Poor Ino, she looked way different before and after. Too bad she couldn't keep doing har hair and make up like that. :/

LMAO at the end, with sensei doing his hair like that again, and "upgrading" it.
And also at the "delinquent" also bring her hair the same, although Torako didn't pay attention to her made it all the more funny.
