Tanaka, why you so cool??

Lol @ Lucy as usual, the girl is still trying so hard though ;.; oh and big bunny cracked me up. Lmao, is that the challenge of this episode? I see naked dudes

I think Chihaya was pretty cool this episode as well. Master of games~

This show and it's over-exaggerated airheadedness of characters.
But that's what makes it enjoyable? I guess xD
Like always Miyoshi and Lucy hurting other people without meaning to.

I was just waiting for Chihaya to say that phrase, "BL" Knew it was coming.
I actually really like HasebeXLucy. IchimiyaXChihaya will take a while to grow on me.
Uhh shippings...

Nice Free parody in that ED card

This show is the big surprise of the season for me.
I am happy to know there are just some people Hasabe isn't good at dealing with, makes him seem slightly more human.

Aaand that end quiz made me definitely think Chihiya is on the right track with her BL comment...

Chihaya made me laugh this episode, and her BL comment was spot-on, especially considering that quiz. But I wonder if Tanaka is actually like that...

That cosplay girl is aggressive and sister doesn't notice that she's brother's girlfriend even though she does what girlfriend does.

Old lady's grandson is really serious. So she was sick. And he knows Hasebe guy, who were together at elementary through high school years. Very competitive because of different personalities (or just liking him like cosplay girl thinks?).

That serious guy was really voiced by Kakkii... At first I though he was, but was kind of different when listening further...

lol @ Saba Quiz!

Welp, this series has finally pushed my suspension of disbelief to its limits. I can buy the Japanese person legally named Lucy+like a hundred other names, or the section chief who interacts with the outside world through a robotic bunny, but a serious diligent bank employee with an unrequited crush on a happy-go-lucky work-shy public servant simply does not compute, even as a comedy set-up. As a serious but work-shy bank employee myself I know what I'm talking about ;) Well, let's see how they expand on this.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, to hear that an anime is not true to real life! What is the world coming to?

On a slightly more serious note, the serious nerd and the happy-go-lucky work-shy guy sounds like a classic BL trope to me. You can accept the robotic bunny but not Tanaka x Hasebe? You need to watch more Genshiken. (Actually everybody needs to watch more Genshiken...

Damnit, I keep falling into the trap of "sounding" serious on the Internet when I try to make jokes; I should probably do something about my writing style. In this case I was being hyperbolic. Yes I know that anime isn't real life and my suspension of disbelief threshold is actually pretty high. It's just that Tanaka's introduction kicked all my expectations to the curb. I actually considered the BL route as a possibility, but I assumed that the serious guy would be attracted to Hasebe in a more Tsundere-like fashion, displaying contempt and anger at his attitude on the outside while secretly wanting to be more like him one the inside. From what we've actually seen so far, Tanaka is more angered by Hasebe's cold shoulder treatment than by any of the differences in their attitudes and lifestyles. In fact it's Hasebe who's being all tsun and no dere in this relationship. I'd certainly like to see some backstory to their relationship, but so far I'm seeing something that doesn't quite compute. But then, I'm not that familiar with BL tropes, so my apologies if this has been done hundreds of times before and I'm just yapping here.

Man this episode went by fast, funny episode as always. Nice introduction to Tanaka, the grandson, he's funny when coming to see Hasebe. That ending card caught me off guard though XD.

Funny how the relationship between Ichimiya and Chihaya became to difficult for them well for Ichimiya.

Haha, I am loving Megumi and Ichimiya's relationship more than Lucy/Hasabe. God, Lucy is so dense and Megumi is cunning. I wanted to see some more of that interaction though :p Toko is also dense when it comes to her brother xD Chihaya is my fav. character in this show for sure. Haha, even her friend knows that she is Ichimiya's girlfriend. Like father, like daughter xD

So Tanaka is here and I am loving their relationship since he is so responsible. Supported! Hahaha Tanaka/Hasabe is so funny and he just went like that XD Funniest episode yet! Love this series even more now. Does Tanaka have a thing for Hasabe or something? xD Lucy sure knows how to hurt others unconsciously and Miyoshi hurt others unintentionally xD He really loves Hasabe for sure.

"What does BL mean?" OMG, Miyoshi made me laugh so hard xD

The free reference, this is really turning into Rin/Haru with Hasabe as Haru (Though looks and hair is more like Rin) and Tanaka as Rin (though looks, hair and acts more like Haru)

Anyways, favorite episode so far.

1st half: Chihaya rules the Ichinomya's !! The analysis by Kanon just adds to the fun.

2nd half: Before Chihaya spoke the two English alphabets at the end, I already thought of them LOL. And the Free reference is unexpected.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

My prediction is that since Tanaka can't beat Hasebe in anything, he'll choose something weird like beating him in love by trying to seduce Lucy, which results in Hasebe getting possessive of her and then they fall in love and have Lucybebies.

Chihiya sure has it rough dealing with both Toko and Ichimiya since they both seem to be having a hard time understanding her.
I guess Toko will only find out that they are dating when they tell her since she doesn't seem to notice the obvious.

Tanaka being connected to Hasabe was funny i knew something happened between them and looking forward to seeing more of them.

Chihaya is so full of win in this episode!! I love how she corrupted the innocent Miyoshi by telling her about BL..

I've always wondered what she saw in Ichimiya though.. she seems to like him a lot but their interaction is so awkward for a couple, not to mention the guy is a total wuss. Poor Chihaya has to juggle between the two odd siblings

The BL actually might be a possibility in this case unlike some other anime I know off. It would definitely explain Tanaka and Hasebe's weird dynamic.
