Lol at Kei's reaction to Minori's room.

Ringo didn't even laugh at the tickle scene, she's good.

So I finally have something I care about in this anime, and if you found the full version, that was a pretty touching ending. I'm glad I did find the full verison because the last two episodes have left such a terrible taste in my mouth, and that ending makes me not want to drop it just yet.

Wondered about the Gaia dream (or wallaby dream), however that last couple of minutes on the full version really tied it all together. This show needs a few more moments like that to elevate it above being just another love-triangle comedy.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Was a fun episode, lots of references in the first half.

Not sure what this one is.
Phoenix Wright's 'Objection!'
Danganronpa
Nyaruko poster blow gun
Sure I'm missing more.

Wasn't a fan of the art style used but regardless, she smiled.

Noticed those few references as well.
And that smile was gold.

Kei's Dark Matter! Epicness.

Was that Wakadanna Gaia dream referring to that dead soil?
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

This was much better than last week's episode :D That blatant Phoenix Wright objection and Nyaruko poster lol.

That scene with Kei wearing a gray tracksuit/mechanic clothes, that's totally from Kuso Miso Technique. A part of me wishes I had never known where it's from lmao.

That wakadanna dream was creepy!

Yes , Gaia is the personification of Earth in the Greek mythology.

"Remember what you humans have done to me."
Me means Earth.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

Last week I said that this anime is deceptively educative and this episode continues on that note. I hope they can focus more on crop planting and expand on their effort to revitalize the soil instead of just cramming as many cheesy jokes as possible. I'm glad they also focused on crops & plants instead of animals like Gin no Saji, this way two agricultural anime in the same period don't seem useless.

That being said what pleasant me the most during this episode is the revelation that Ringo didn't come to the rural area just because some anonymous fan sent her phallic-shaped fruits/plants (that would be very lame and cheesy imo).

Who the hell shows their Dark Matter in front of a petite girl anyway?! (except for a rapist)

It's a nice episode and definitely better than last week's. The comedy is also a bit better (at least it made me smirk). The OST at the end is pretty damn good too.

And dat smile was cute.

Hey, did anybody saw that otaku guy showing a Nyaruko san W poster?

Geez, man them Japs can kill a monkey? Man in Brazil where I went once,natives there ate monkey's as delicacy, and frankly it taste like chicken.

Lol, Minori getting ready to get banged, unfortunately the guy is too stupid to notice.


I wonder if Kei's dark matter is what I think it is?

While I was on the verge of skipping the show.
The developments shown the last minutes are enough to keep me going.
It feels we just concluded the first volume of the novel, so next episode may see the return of total absurdity.

I liked that soil discussion. I was worried they would ruin the smile scene, glad they didn't. I am loving the animation, and the overall feel so far.

Finally some decent episode, I wish this one would go after ep1, scrap those two previous that was horrible. Now we need even more backstory, I really hope they forget those silly scenes and do something like this next time. It wasn't anything special but at least it was worth of watching.

I didn't care what I see but I saw a parody of Danganronpa and Nyaruko poster xD
I feel like I was watching Seitokai Yakuindomo.Inoue Marina's voice is similar to Hikasa Youko and that's helped me to think this way.
This anime has a random comedy but it is funny.I've a lot of time therefore I'll continue to watch it until it's finished.

Gonna miss the teacher.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Maybe you know this already, but just in case.
When it was revealed that a monkey stole the crops, a student said with releif, "Thanks goodness. The unhappy child doen't exist." That may be a reference to a classic short story: Someone hears of a sad story about a child and is asked for some money. He feels pity and gives money to save the child. But his friend tells him that the story was a fraud. And then, he happily says, "Good. The sufferd child doen't exist."

I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.

i like how there are STILL people coming onto these forums just to talk about how they are dropping their pirated/free anime that they invested nothing into. The only reason they don't stick to facebook is because facebook is public and they can't show that crappy side of their personality to their friends and family.

DARK MATTER. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Kei is so epic. That's some sexual harassment he did.

The balance of everything in this series is really good. Got a fair amount of comedy, drama, romance, fanservice etc. I really liked what they did at the end.

Looking forward to the next episode.
